- StephanieNew Zealand“The family who run this hostel are really lovely. They serve delicious food at a very good price. The location is excellent - very near to the fort. The only down side is that all rooms open off an open central area so any noise carries.”
- AmyUnited States of America“Rooms were comfortable, ac 24/7 with control. Walkable to the old city and the main bus stop.”
- DonnaPhilippines“The host was perfect! I arrived hungry and even though at that time they weren't making breakfast, the host unbeknownst to me prepared free sandwiches :) Thank you ♥️ Location is very near the rail and bus station as well as to Galle Dutch Fort....”
