We loved our stay at Ceylon Hostel in Unawatuna! The location was perfect, just a short distance from the beach and nestled in a safe and quiet local area. The host went above and beyond to make our stay memorable, even waking up at 4am to bring us to the bus stop and helping us plan the rest of our Sri Lankan trip. The breakfast served was delicious and the atmosphere was calm and relaxing. we highly recommend Ceylon Hostel for a wonderful stay in Unawatuna.

Perfekte Lage im Herzen von Manhattan, nur wenige Gehminuten vom Times Square und den U-Bahn-Stationen entfernt. Geräumige Zimmer für New Yorker Verhältnisse, mit bequemen Doppelbetten, Kühlschrank und Safe. Moderne Ausstattung der Zimmer, mit Smart-TV und sauberem Badezimmer. Freundliches und zuvorkommendes Personal. Gratis WLAN im gesamten Gebäude.
Für uns war es perfekt.

I had an amazing experience staying at this hostel in a quiet local neighborhood. the family running the place was incredibly friendly and helpful, making me feel right at home. They went above and beyond to assist with organizing my holidays in Sri Lanka. the location was perfect, away from the touristy areas but still close enough to enjoy nearby restaurants. the hostel was extremely clean and the beds were comfortable. the simple yet delicious breakfast with fresh fruits and bread was a great start to the day. this place offered excellent value for money and I highly recommend it. Cons: Nothing, all great! 👍.

Die Unterkunft befindet sich in der Nähe des Strandes und ist nur wenige Minuten zu Fuß entfernt. Das Zimmer und das Badezimmer waren sauber und gepflegt. Der Service war aufmerksam und das Frühstück war lecker. Es gab auch eine private Veranda und einen Garten mit Hängematten, die zum Entspannen einluden.
Unerfreulicherweise konnte das Personal nur sehr schlecht Englisch sprechen.

The rooms at Ceylon Hostel-Galle are cozy and equipped with everything I needed, like free WiFi and a safe. I loved the view of the garden from certain rooms, it's so calming. The shared bathrooms were clean, and the complimentary toiletries were a nice touch.
Personally, I felt that having a shared bathroom in all the rooms was a bit inconvenient. But hey, that's just me.

The decoration at Ceylon Hostel-Galle was absolutely lovely, with a charming and cozy atmosphere that made me feel right at home. The general areas, such as the terrace and garden, were well-maintained and provided a peaceful space to relax and enjoy the beautiful surroundings. As a senior woman, I greatly appreciated the hotel's accessibility, with convenient amenities like safes and ceiling fans that catered to our needs. The free WiFi was also a bonus, allowing me to easily stay connected with my loved ones.
If I had to suggest one improvement for senior travelers, it would be to have more assistance available from the children working there. Sometimes, a little extra help or guidance can go a long way in ensuring a better vacation experience for us seniors.

The staff here is amazing! They were incredibly helpful and friendly throughout my stay. The rooms and bathrooms were super clean, and I loved having access to a kitchen and dining area. The breakfast in the morning was delicious and definitely one of the best I had during my trip. Additionally, the location was perfect, being close to both the railway station and the beaches. I highly recommend this place!
There were a few downsides to my stay. the shower had very little water pressure, making it difficult to shower, especially after a long swim at the beach.
