The owners are wonderful, even though I stayed in the low season so never met you in person, they always answered the phone at all times and even after I left they continued to answer to my questions. I recommend the place hands down! The pink house next door does incredible breakfast, make sure to have a coffee there!

Ideally located in the centre of Galle, Tanty’s Hostel offers free WiFi, a garden and free private parking for guests who drive. The property is around 70 metres from Bonavista Beach, 2.7 km from Galle International Cricket Stadium and 2.8 km from Galle Fort. The accommodation provides a shared kitchen and a shared lounge for guests. It was very well located, close to a big store and to surf schools. Hansi was so kind and helpful, she also took me to around for one night. The whole place is really big and comfortable, the kitchen is very well equipped and clean. If it wasn’t too hot, I’d have stayed for longer, I’ve booked for 19 nights there but the hotness was unbearable, the hostel kindly reimbursed the 17 nights, such a relief for me. I’d suggest to go there during high season because I was there in mid August and no one was there, it might feel lonely.
