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.

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!

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 !
