This was by far the best stay of my three weeks of solo traveling in Sri Lanka. The boutique hotel is beautifully designed with such great taste by the owner, and the staff are incredibly friendly, doing everything they can to make you feel comfortable. The breakfast was delicious, and everything was spotless. After weeks of traveling around, I was able to fully relax here. I truly recommend this place to everyone ! the people are so kind, and the setting is stunning. You can even purchase some of the carefully curated items displayed in the hotel, which makes it extra special. An absolute top hotel!

This is the place where you want to stay while visiting Sri Lanka. You spending your holiday in the history of this country. A spice traders house built in 1860 and completely renovated recently with lots of taste. The rooms, the living and dining areas, garden with the pool, everything is so beautiful and it feels it’s your own private home. Also breakfast and dinner was amazing and very tasty. The manager and all the staff are extremely helpful and super friendly. As it’s just a bit outside of Galle Fort, it’s super calm. But only a short stroll to reach the harbour with the local fisherman and the old town by foot. If not, a Tuk Tuk ride takes 5 minutes. Everything was just perfect.

Beautiful hotel interior. All staff are very friendly and always smiling. It was nice that there was beach access. The attentiveness of the staff is what really made it stand out like contacting us before we arrived to ensure we were all set and they helped organise our activities. We really enjoyed our stay and recommend it to others

The Merchant is perfectly located - basically a five minute walk from any point in Galle Fort. The rooms are lovely, big and modern. The restaurant downstairs is one of the best in Galle, and one of the few places that is still lively past 9 pm. The breakfast was great too.

Galle as a city can be quite hectic, so this property kind of is the type of place you need to relax and cool down. Elegant, spacious room and a shared pool surrounded by a beautiful garden with huge trees providing much needed shade. On top of that, fantastic host and staff :)

This was by far the best hotel we stayed at on our trip. The “King’s Residence” room was unbelievable. Definitely recommend this room if you can get it. The food was great as was the ice tea we were given on arrival. Best ice tea in Sri Lanka. The service we received was very high quality. I would recommend this hotel to anyone and we will definitely stay here again. Thanks again for the hospitality! Cheers Andrew and Sib - Australia

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!

Lovely colonial hotel in the heart of historic Galle! Standard rooms are small but very nice and comfortable. Shower was great, good pressure. The staff was very friendly and helpful. There was kettle for tea/coffee, drinking water and ice available. We ordered Sri Lankan breakfast and it was delicious, with fresh coconut roti, dahl, eggs, fresh fruit salad, curd…
