Beautiful setting! The furniture was lovely and the decoration thoughtful. The plants and pool area were beautiful and peaceful. The staff were really friendly and helpful. The food was delicious as well - I loved the vegetable curry especially. Not far from galle fort and more. Wish we stayed for more nights.

Beautiful colonial building with nice gardens. The rooms are beautiful and the staff are so attentive and helpful. Was the perfect choice after a busy 10 days travelling around Sri Lanka. They upgraded me to a better room which was very kind.

Kumudu, the owner, was very welcoming and helpful throughout our stay. The room was really big, nicely decorated and the open bathroom was an absolute highlight on our Sri Lanka journey. Also the garden with the nice pool was so beautiful and perfect to relax, being completely surrounded by nature. Would definitely come back!

This is a quaint and charming building located within Galle fort. The hotel exudes a strong heritage character and offers a beautifully designed space. I particularly enjoyed the iced tea served upon arrival, and the breakfast was exceptional. The hotel is conveniently within walking distance of numerous shops and restaurants, yet it remains secluded enough to ensure a peaceful night's rest. Also love the music playlist of the hotel :)

I enjoyed my stay in Galle.

I enjoyed my stay in Galle. The place was very clean and the environment was relaxing. It’s a good location to explore the city and enjoy the beach. The staff was friendly and helpful. The only downside was that the beds were a bit old and already broken, so it wasn’t very comfortable. If they fix that, it would be a much better stay. Overall, a nice experience and good value.

Plenty to do in Galle, well worth visiting.

Plenty to do in Galle, well worth visiting. Just DON’T use the White Queen, as the manager will make it very difficult for you to get any redress if there’s a problem (I was charged for a five night stay instead of Four, and only realised after payment had been taken-silly me!) Enjoy your stay, just elsewhere in Galle.

Absolutely filthy city.

Absolutely filthy city. Litter everywhere, all around the fort was dirty and had rubbish , plastic waste and broken bottles strewn around and piled up in bags. They should revoke the UNESCO rating for the fort so the government clean it up. It was months of rubbish or like a field after a festival and not just rubbish after a weekend. There were just a few rubbish bins around the ramparts but they were overflowing and broken By far the dirtiest city we have visited in Sri Lanka

The Galle Fort in Galle is my absolute favorite place — it has a vibe of its own. It’s completely safe at any time of the day, even for solo travelers. There’s so much history within the Fort walls to learn about and beautiful architecture to explore. The hosts at the restaurants and hotels inside the Fort are amazing, and the service is truly of international standard. The view of the Indian Ocean from the Ramparts is simply breathtaking. There are plenty of restaurants offering a wide variety of cuisines and dishes to try. Outside the Fort, I highly recommend visiting the beaches at Unawatuna, just a few kilometers from Galle City Centre. While you’re there, don’t miss the Japanese Peace Pagoda at Rumassala — you won’t regret it! Yaddehimulla Road in Unawatuna has everything from surf schools and restaurants to gem shops, gelato spots, international cuisines, and everything in between. For quick bites and essentials, SPAR Supermarket at Galle City Centre is your go-to place. You’ll find tasty rice and curry meals, ready-to-eat options, mosquito repellent, basic medical supplies, snacks, good-quality fruits, and other everyday necessities.

If you're going to Galle, stay inside the Fort. Lots of charming little villas and boutique hotels where you can drop your bags and go walkabout, soaking in the colonial charm and enjoying the relaxed vibe. Great food options, live music and incredible sunsets.

The setting, the beauty of the hotel itself, its location within the old Galle Fort zone, which was matched only by the quality of the service. Special mention must go to Suneth who took personal responsibility for ensuring our stay met and then exceeded our expectations. He then organised for our complementary transfer to Tangalle after some scheduling adjustments and later reconnected with us to assist with further transfers further into our Sri Lanka trip. Above and beyond our expectations. Thank you Suneth.

Great stay at Windy Garden. Spacious, very clean room, modern bathroom, and a great balcony overlooking the lovely pool. Breakfast was good, a choice between continental and Sri Lankan. One evening, sitting on the balcony, we had a sunset watching monkeys in the trees behind the hotel, which was special. Only a short ride 5-10 minutes)to Galle in a tuk tuk. Staff were very good, happy and polite.

This was the best stay we had till our stay in Sri Lanka. The house is very cosy, clean, and has a calm location. 5 minutes from the hotel, you can find the main road, where you can get bus to Galle Fort. One thing that really stood outwas that he was concerned for his guests genuinely and treated us like a family. If you are visiting with a family, this is the best place.
