It’s quite but you can walk in a few minutes to the busy street in Ahangama. Everything was super clean! I think I have never seen such clean shared bathrooms before in a hostel. Also there are yoga classes nearly every day which are announced on there instagram I suggest you check their account if you are interested in that.

Located in Unawatuna, 2 km from Unawatuna Beach, Hostel Singha Lounge provides accommodation with a garden, free private parking, a shared lounge and a restaurant. The property is around 6.6 km from Galle International Cricket Stadium, 6.7 km from Galle Fort and 6.8 km from Dutch Church Galle. The hostel also features free WiFi as well as a paid airport shuttle service. I had a great time at this hostel. It's a chilled and social vibe, met many nice people and stayed for 4 nights at the end. The breakfast was okay (noodles with Dhal Curry). The location is a bit further in the "jungle", but the surrounding of nature is beautiful. Just from my perspective the prizes for the scooter and bicycle rent was a bit too high (compared to thei conditions of the bikes).
