Wake Up Weligama

Weligama

Located in Weligama, 400 metres from Weligama Beach, Wake Up Weligama provides accommodation with a garden, free private parking and a shared lounge. Located around 29 km from Galle International Cricket Stadium, the hostel with free WiFi is also 29 km away from Galle Fort. The accommodation features a shared kitchen, room service and currency exchange for guests. Really nice vibe! We had a double private room which was pretty comfortable with a big fan and a bit far from the dorms and the common area! Which is good if you want to relax but you are not so included in the group of the rest of the travellers! However the host providing information of everything about food and events around Shiah is really nice.

I know I will be coming back.
