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. We loved how it was open air but protected at the same time from the rain beautiful house we felt we were on our own as we had both rooms upstairs

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. The staff were so friendly. The food and drinks were excellent. We did the Arrack tasting at Rope Walk bar and it was enjoyable and informative. It was a great location for getting around Galle and having a pool was also an added bonus.

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 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. We had a very clean and comfortable stay in Seagreen with a newly renovated bathroom, strong AC and good location within Galle Fort. Shower gel, shampoo & conditioner were provided, which was a pleasant surprise. A kettle and jug of water was provided. Water is refillable at a cost of LKR 200. They have a menu for food, drinks and activities, although we didn't try any of them as the prices were quite steep. We rose early so the noise from the school children didn't really affect us.

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. We were greeted with large refreshing smoothies,which was a nice welcome. It is a tiny place, only four rooms in a lovely period house with a small garden and a view to the ramparts and the sea. Our room was huge with a big bed and a good bathroom. We were very well looked after by Sunil and Ibram. We have never before had such huge plates of gorgeous tropical fruits at breakfast, which was all delicious. It is a wonderful little oasis in the Fort just near Flagstaff Rock.
