Das Hostel ist leider wirklich sehr heiß Nachts, trotz Ventilatoren. Mehr als eine Nacht würde ich dort nicht bleiben.

Ideale Lage zum Dewata Beach und Supermärkten. Bequeme Betten, Mückennetz und gut ausgestattete Küche mit kaltem Trinkwasserbrunnen. Hostelbesitzer können wenig englisch, als sie mitbekamen, dass einer sich den Fuß verstaucht hatte, gaben sie ihm aryuveda Medizin. Also super Nett und Hilfsbereit. Ich konnte ganz einfach auch verlängern. Es gibt eine Waschmaschine zur allgemeinen Verfügung. Es wird täglich alles durchgewischt und geputzt.

Best Hostel I have stayed at in all of Sri Lanka ! Beds are massive and comfy, you get mosquito nets and rooms are spacious! Common area has everything you need and more ! Staff is a bit shy but super lovely as well they make everything possible if you ask nicely and maybe with some google translate as help. Best value for money for sure.

Tanty's hostel was a great place for us to stay as it was right on the main road and had all the facilities we were looking for. The only thing was ladies washroom didn't have a light but we could manage as the mixed washrooms were clean. Good stay for the price! Will be back again soon.

One of the best hostels I stayed in srilanka. Super clean and comfy beds. The owners were lovely and gave good advice. They were always up for a chat. The property also had many fun boardgames to play. Great location near the beach

You’re getting what you pay for here, for not much money you’re not gonna get much. Really struggled with the amount of mosquitos in the rooms at night. Despite the nets, if I wanted to go to the bathroom it felt like I was stepping into a bloody warzone. Staff were nice and the bed was clean, I appreciated the large cooking area.

Preis Leistung ist voll gut, jedoch ist das Hostel ein bisschen abgelegen und versteckt. Für die Hauptattraktionen wie Galle Fort braucht man immer ein Tuk Tuk. Dennoch ist das Bad sehr sauber und die Dorms auch. Betten sind groß und mit Ventilatoren und Fliegennetzen ausgestattet. Es gibt auch große Schränke, um seinen Backpack einzuschließen. Leider spricht das Personal kaum bis gar kein Englisch. Daher war die Verständigung recht schwierig.

Für eine Nacht ein ganz gutes Hostel. Für einen längeren Aufenthalt leider nicht geeignet. Die Zimmer haben keine Klimaanlage, sondern nur einzelne Ventilatoren, was die Nacht sehr warm macht. Das Personal kann leider nicht sehr gut englisch was die Kommunikation stark einschränkt.

Very close to Galle Fort and the room also spacious enough with clean washrooms and large hall.
