minmo

From

Japan

It is wonderful stylish villa as expected. Located in the heart of this historic and iconic city, we enjoyed strolling to see the sunrise and sunset and exploring the beautiful shops. The staff were very nice and helpful. Mr. Azwan arranged a car charter. It was actually trustworthy because the driver is smart enough with a beautiful TOYOTA car. If you have any plan to do that, please ask the hotel they arrange you with a best value.

United Arab Emirates

We were welcomed by the host who was so friendly & professional. We arrived earlier than check in as our flight was at an earlier time but the hotel were great & offered us breakfast whilst they prepared the room…it was ready for us 3 hours prior to check in which was perfect as we were tired from our long travel. We had a little frog in the room when we arrived but the staff came quickly as soon as we told them & they removed it carefully. Everything was perfect during our stay, the facilities, the staff, the food…it was all so lovely. We loved that we could see monkey’s jumping from tree to tree around the property & big lizards roam around the grounds occasionally which was very cool! Yoga mats are kept on a rack by the pool, which you can use freely when you wish…nice touch! The price of the food in the hotel was a little more expensive than other places in Sri Lanka but actually was very reasonable price for the quality of it. We were celebrating our anniversary & the hotel went the extra mile to make our stay special. We had a private dinner in the sky bar and had the burger & tuna dishes. The burger was one of the best burgers i have ever had, so delicious! We also visited the spa & enjoyed our time there with massage/ facial/ herbal bath looking out to the sea, so wonderful. I can’t recommend this hotel enough, I hope we can visit again in the future! :-)

The setting of the family room was beautiful. With a lovely veranda and pool in front. The room itself was spacious and very clean and I particularly liked the indoor outdoor bathroom. The breakfast served on the veranda was very tasty.

What guests said about Galle:

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 best accommodation we’ve stayed at in Sri Lanka. The location is between galle and hikka and there is an amazing little beach bar a couple of minutes walk called Bara Beach. The garden is incredible, from the balcony you can watch the langurs up close when they pass by to eat from the surrounding trees. The bedroom is SO comfortable, it has a smart tv, ac and fibre internet connection. The the owners have really thought of everything throughout the property, which you have all to yourself. 100% recommend this place!
