À propos

Snooze Station by Sydney Galle is your laid-back launchpad to explore the city’s heart, history, and hidden stories. Ideally situated in the centre of Galle, this vibrant hostel shares its home with Sydney Hotel — a 100-year-old local bar where generations have gathered to laugh, debate, and celebrate life — and 1921, a brand-new restaurant that reimagines Sri Lankan classics with a modern twist.

Step into the past from the moment you arrive — our reception features vintage furniture from the 1960s, and a timeline of photographs traces the building’s colourful journey through the decades. The property itself dates back over 150 years, built during the colonial era to serve travellers and traders long before backpacking was a thing. And if you’ve ever wondered why it’s called “Sydney Hotel,” well… that’s a story best heard over a drink at the bar.

Unwind in our garden, sip on local coffee or our signature sips inspired by Sri Lanka’s drinking culture, and experience the buzz of a true local watering hole — where friendly faces, laughter, and a sense of community never go out of style.

You’ll find us less than a kilometre from Galle Fort, Dutch Church, and Mahamodara Beach, and just a short stroll from Lighthouse Beach and the Galle International Cricket Stadium. Whether you’re here for the heritage, the nightlife, or just a good night’s sleep, Snooze Station by Sydney is your stop for great company, real stories, and a touch of Galle’s legendary spirit.

Great hostel and great location. The shower was warm and with great pressure. Went during low season so there was no real social vibe to the hostel, maybe it’s different during high season. Room was clean, staff was nice. Good value for money for a 1 night stay to explore the city of Galle

A little bit overpriced for the services. No bed curtains, some broken elements in the bathroom. But super close to the train station, it’s good for one night!
