During my stay at New Amadeo Beach, I was thoroughly impressed by the exceptional hospitality showcased by their staff.

Located in Galle, a 8-minute walk from Pitiwella Beach, Sanithu Homestay Galle provides accommodations with a garden, free private parking and a terrace.

The host hospitality was on the maximum level. She organized best alcohol in town for my mother and her friend. She even organized doctor when my mother's friend almost sank another day. The transportation was not a problem. On the leaving day she even dropped us to a new location. During our stay, we felt that service here was from another planet. Rooms were clean and comfortable. All available facilities in the kitchen. Kitchen was cleaned every day. Very happy to recommend this place! ☺️

    The location is perfect. It's just 1 min walk to busstop, beach and ATMs. They have mosquito net as well. I was there for the new year, so the owner offered me the traditional breakfast (homemade). I enjoyed my stay there.

    Great Location, Great View from the seaview rooms, Decent free sunbeds on the beach and clean beach towels provided, Breakfast was an added bonus, not western style but they happily made you great toast if you asked. and you had fresh fruit tea coffee juice as well as sri lankan breakfast offerings. Drinks also where slightly cheaper than the surrounding beach bars

    The hotel was lovely, and the staff was super friendly. They meet all your needs and are always happy to do so. The room was clean and beautifully made for our arrival. The location is great, as you can walk to the beach within seconds. It's a bit far from the centre but not a problem as you can walk or take a tuk-tuk, which is cheap and safe. Breakfast was good and the best in Sri Lanka we had.

    Right at the beach. You have your own space outside next to your room. The owner was very helpful. He called me to explain how to get there in the middle of the night. I was able to check in late. You can find cheaper options if you have low budget and planning to stay longer. But for this price it is quite decent place considering the fact it is right at the beach
