Boasting a garden, Small House Boutique Guest House is a guest house set in a historic building in the centre of Galle, close to Lighthouse Beach. The property has garden and city views, and is 400 metres from Dutch Church Galle. The accommodation offers airport transfers, while a bicycle rental service is also available. The staff is awesome, very kind and always there to make your stay more comfortable ;) Rooms are super clean, beds super comfy and bathroom big. We went 2 families with 2 toddlers and we had a big common area with table, chairs and sofa, were we could chill and the kids could play! Breakfast is amazing Location is the best, in the heart of Galle Fort, just fee meters of the "main street"

This 11-suite boutique hotel has since gained an impeccable reputation for the highest levels of service, along with many accolades from the ‘Asia Pacific Heritage Award of Destination’ by UNESCO to being awarded ‘Leading Boutique Hotel in Sri Lanka’ by the World Travel Awards for three consecutive years. We had the best experience! Hotel staff went above and beyond to make us comfortable. The bar was a highlight for us and they made special drinks to appease my husband’s curiosity about the Arrack. Definitely a highlight of our entire trip!

Featuring free WiFi and an outdoor swimming pool, The Fort Printers offers accommodation in Galle. Guests can enjoy the on-site restaurant.

You will find a kettle in the room. All rooms have a private bathroom. For your comfort, you will find free toiletries and a hair dryer. This was our second stop upon arrival in Sri Lanka, after a night and day in Colombo. It has been my and my daughter's top favorite hotel and stay, because mainly of its colonial and historical charm. A wonderful place, led by a female manager, which is to be underlined, a very nice lady. The staff is local, the attention to detail as well (!), the food and breakfast are super copious, generous and fresh, there is a nice à la carte menu, and the pool is wonderful. My daughter enjoyed it! We were lucky to be and visit Galle during the week-end, so we didn't feel the over-touristic crowd and atmosphere, since many Sri Lankan were strolling along the city walls, visiting. This is definitely a very touristic spot, the many shops attest this, but there are a few very nice and niche places. Stay min 2 nights, and if you can and want you may tour the nearby beaches and towns and wildlife reserves from there, this is possible. We've also enjoyed our train ride from Colombo to Galle, which is not too long and absolutely wonderful in the lush coastline greenery. We loved our room, its setup, the geometry and decoration of the hotel, the beautiful purple lotus flowers and the local touches everywhere. Chic. It pleased my eye every day!

Located in Hikkaduwa, Camellia Dwelling offers tranquil and comfortable accommodation with free WiFi access throughout the property. Featuring lush green gardens, it operates a 24-hour front desk and provides complimentary parking on site. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Stay That Feels Like Home – Camelia Dwelling If there is one place that truly redefines what hospitality means, it is Camelia Dwelling. From the moment we arrived, we felt like we had stepped into a peaceful little world surrounded by greenery, warmth, and genuine love. Hosted by a 78-year-old uncle, this stay has a soul of its own — something you simply cannot put a price on. The Host – Pure Warmth & Kindness Uncle is the heart of this home. At his age, the way he moves around with energy, checks on you, talks to you warmly, and treats you like you’re a part of his own family is beyond touching. There is nothing he won’t help you with. He takes you into his home and makes you feel like you should never leave. That’s how deep and comforting his hospitality is. Food That Feels Like It Was Cooked With Love One of the BIGGEST highlights of our stay was the food. They offer breakfast and dinner at a very nominal amount, but honestly, the quality, quantity, cleanliness, and love put into the meals makes you feel like you should be paying much more. Every dish is homemade by Uncle’s wife, and it truly tastes like a warm hug. • Fresh • Clean • Absolutely delicious • Full of variety • Prepared exactly how you want it — they actually ask your preferences and ensure everything is tailored for you. It didn’t feel like a meal we paid for… it felt like being fed by family who genuinely care for you. The value for money is unbelievable, but more than that, it’s the love that stands out. The Property – Green, Peaceful & Immaculate Camelia Dwelling is surrounded by greenery — a beautiful backyard, front yard, and nature all around. It is soothing, calming, and perfect for anyone who wants to relax. The house is spotless, extremely well maintained, and has a very homely charm. You can see the care and pride they put into keeping the place clean and comfortable.

Located at the Galle Fort, Seagreen Guesthouse - Galle Fort provides affordable accommodation. Guests enjoy free WiFi access and comfortable rooms fitted with air conditioning.

Rooms feature classic Sri Lankan-style furnishings. It offers a writing table, clean linen sheets and windows offering direct sunlight. Bathrooms are en suite. The guesthouse is right in front of the Dutch Fort and you can see the sea from the terrace. The room was cozy, the place was super clean. The Dutch market was a short walk from the guesthouse. I loved staying there and when I return to Galle which i will because I loved it, I'll make sure to stay here. Also a cute dog named Pirate is a bonus.

Overlooking the ramparts, this colonial-style Sri Lankan property is just 500 metres from The Galle National Museum. It offers complimentary Wi-Fi access throughout its premises.

Fort Bliss is about 1 km from the Galle town centre and 7 km from Unawatuna Beach. Bandaranaike International Airport is 160 km away. The location is so ideal. The real treat were the staff who waited up for late arrivals and then served us an early breakfast the next morning - so kind and caring !
