“Caritas Rest strikes me as a particularly solid choice in Galle, largely due to its prime location next to the train station and its affordability. I appreciate that it's run by the Church, with proceeds supporting local aid efforts. For travelers who value convenience and community support, this hotel presents a compelling option.”
