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.

This was a great stay for one night. Everthing was very clean and I had a warm welcome. The ac was working but made a lot of noise so it kept me awake during the night.

My partner and I had a great stay at Snooze Station. The hostel was super clean, had great facilities, and wonderful staff who did everything in their power to make our stay as good as possible, happily helping with any inquiries we had and providing us with detailed info about the history of the building in which the hostel is located. 10/10 Would recommend this place to anyone looking for a hostel to stay at in Galle.

The staff was very nice and helpful. We had the private room and it was okay. Very small and loud because of the street and noise from the places around.
