⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Dreamy & Authentic Stay at The Sun House. We really enjoyed our time at The Sun House. The rooms are amazing, much better than they look in photos! And the whole place has a very authentic feel. You can tell that a lot of thought has gone into all the details. The staff were excellent and helped us organise some great trips and transport. We had dinner at the hotel restaurant on two nights and enjoyed some very good cocktails. Very delicious!! The hotel is a calm, quiet space, away from the busyness of Galle but still very close to everything. And the beds are incredible, some of the most comfortable we’ve slept in. Definitely recommend!!

The Galle Heritage Villa is really a fantastic place to stay in Galle. Ideally located in a nice central street of the Galle Fort, this beautifully renovated colonial house is perfect. Very warm welcome from the people managing the place, very quiet area and room, at our arrival, and all along the stay. The Villa is decorated with a perfect taste and refinement, large common areas, a nice yard with trees, grass, amchairs and garlands of lights at night. We stayed in one of the 2 rooms at the frist floor. Our room was very accommodating and spacious, with a kettle for making tea and coffee. Here also a refined choice of teas. The bathroom was huge with every possible comfort and nicely decorated. The value for money was really good. Do not hesitate one second!

Very clean and budget rooms in a perfect location with extraordinary rich breakfast, including fresh fruits, butter, jam and eggs. Staff very friendly and helpful. Especially Shanji efforts for almost everything and guides to the customers volunterely at the same time. The manager known as 'uncle' is also very helpful and a wise guy and responsible to the customers needs. For couple of days this place is really a good and budget option.
