Backpacker Galle Hostel
No 27/3 Lower Dickson Road, 80000 Galle, Sri Lanka – Great location - show map
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. Probably a good 20 minutes walk. The market is also nearby. The hostel is located in a very quiet area with greeneries around, more like coming home. It was also easy to get PickMe from the hostel. The bed is very comfortable and toilets are clean.
