Snooze Station by Sydney Galle

I rented an Airbnb in unawatuna which ended up turning in an awful experience. I had to find a new place last minute and I was really happy when I arrived to snooze. It’s clean, the boss is a respectful and kind person who is available to help guests when in need, the room was spacious with ac and hot water. Ended up paying half of what I paid for the Airbnb nightmare. I extended another night at snooze. I definitely recommend it specifically if you’re a woman traveling alone as I am.

Snooze Station was simply the best accommodation I stayed at in Sri Lanka (from a whole mix of hostels, homestays, and hotels). It's brand new, spotlessly clean, and provides hotel standard services despite being a hostel - such as a welcome drink, a cold flannel on arrival, towels on the beds, a tea and coffee area, etc. The bed was so comfortable and the shower was hot and powerful. The location is perfect for travellers - it is right by both the train and bus stations, and it's only a pretty 5 minute walk to the main entrance to Galle Fort area. But the best thing about Snooze Station is the staff, they were all so kind and friendly! I lost my voice one day - one of the staff knocked on my room door with a glass of hot water for my throat and offered to help further. You simply have to stay here if you're going to Galle! To the staff - thanks for the fantastic hospitality!
