Great Hostel ! A unique old style antique property with Beautiful huge diverse garden. Facilities were up to the high quality standard and those are comfortable. Owner was super friendly guy and he was very hospitable. Food and drinks were very yummy and good value for money as well. Very close to the touristic places around Galle and to the city center. Tuk tuk and buses can find very easily in here and all the other necessary facilities are nearby. I'm extremely enjoyed my stay at this hostel.

Staff was sooooo friendly and helpful, community area had a ton of activities and unexpected amenities, there was a cute boutique at the front of the hostel that my sister and I purchased clothes from for gifts etc. These ladies were so nice and caring, helped us get rides and translate when we needed help. Room was nice and location was perfect, right around the corner was the beach, the main road was right there but it wasn't loud at night, and Galle was about a 25 min walk

The host was perfect! I arrived hungry and even though at that time they weren't making breakfast, the host unbeknownst to me prepared free sandwiches :) Thank you ♥️   Location is very near the rail and bus station as well as to Galle Dutch Fort. Probably a good 20 minutes walk. The market is also nearby.   The hostel is located in a very quiet area with greeneries around, more like coming home. It was also easy to get PickMe from the hostel.   The bed is very comfortable and toilets are clean.

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

One of the best hostels I have ever been to. The hospitality is beyond friendliness. The owner, Lesley, is a generous person with an idealistic sense of sharing live, culture and knowledge whereas his staff - Sam and Manoj - have been extremely skilled, offered great traditional food and everlasting smiles. The comfort and style of the rooms where simple yet elegant, comfortable as well. I had a great experience overall and can only recommend everyone who is near Unawatuna to stay in this hostel. I would love to come back anytime!

My experience at the Sixth Sense Hostel was absolutely incredible! It was like no other stay I've ever had. The hostel is located in a beautiful and calm place, just a 10-minute walk from the beach. The staff were so friendly and helpful. The manager - Sam, always made sure we had everything we needed for a fantastic time. The accommodation was comfortable, very clean and cozy & relaxing. What's more, there's free laundry. It was truly the best hostel I've ever been to. Totally recommend. You should come and experience it!

Nice hostel, good and clean rooms, nice beds. Budget Friendly. They have fans for each bed but there's no AC. However it's manageable.
