The hostel also features free WiFi as well as a paid airport shuttle service. If you're seeking an unforgettable stay in Sri Lanka, look no further than Singha Lounge! Their hostel isn't just a place to rest; it's a home away from home. From the second I stepped through their doors, I was embraced by Judith and Isuru's warmth and genuine care. The family's hospitality was beyond compare - they made sure every moment was comfortable and enriching. Their two adorable kids and one special repeat visitor from Denmark became the cherry on top of this holiday :) Judith's delicious cooking classes and homemade meals, and the engaging conversations truly made my trip unforgettable. Staying here didn't just offer accommodation; it provided an authentic experience and a sense of belonging. For an enriching and heartwarming Sri Lankan experience, this hostel with its exceptional host family is an absolute must!

Featuring a garden, shared lounge and views of garden, Hanuman Heights is located in Unawatuna, less than 1 km from Unawatuna Beach. The property is around 7.2 km from Galle International Cricket Stadium, 7.4 km from Galle Fort and 7.4 km from Dutch Church Galle. Galle Fort National Museum is 7.3 km away and Kushtarajagala is 23 km from the hostel. A very welcoming and completely renovated property surrounded by greenery, very close to "Jungle Beach," a unique experience that immerses you in the true culture of Sri Lanka. Although the hostel is not currently on Google Maps, and therefore difficult to find, there is a Tuc Tuc service offered by the host who will take you from the first hostel, "Oops," to "Hanuman Heights"! Very nice! Definitely an experience to try at least once in your life.
