We LOVED the sun house, even though we have always stayed in really nice places in Sri Lanka, this was by far the best. The location is great, you pay around 200 LKR to go to Galle Fort. The garden and the house itself is beautiful. The food was great, one of the best we had in Sri Lanka. Really good value for money and super tasty. And the staff was simply amazing. There was always someone around and usually we even didn’t have to say anything- when we left the room, they would think of cleaning our room, if we lay down by the pool they would bring water. They remember all our wishes for breakfast (eg no bananas) and we never had to ask for it again. I want to particularly point out the service of Priyantha and Tharindu, they were lovely and always had a nice story to tell or a recommendation to give. Thank you so much for making our stay special

We had a pleasant 2 days stay in this beautiful and stylish hotel with bespoke interiors and convenient location near the beach and not far from the Galle Fort. The hotel staff Varuni and Roshan were extremely helpful and nice. They helped us with our requests to make our stay the most comfortable. The breakfast prepared by the staff was delicious and nicely served. We look forward to staying in Taavetti Hotel again.

Exceptional service and comfortable stay. The pool is really lovely and the ambience is so peaceful :) Tuktuks are easily accessible via the pickme app and the hotel can also arrange one for you. The food (we tried the breakfast and dinner) were also really good. Highly recommend!!

The staff goes above and beyond: I had a family emergency and they helped me a lot, also outside of their working hours. They truly go the extra mile to make you feel at home and that I didn’t feel like I’m alone in this difficult situation. Sidesh is a great manager with a generous heart! The interior is beautiful and the breakfast is delicious! I highly recommend this accomodation!

Excellent facilities, lovely small pool with only two poolside rooms. If you are lucky enough to be able to book them, do. A few other cheaper room options available if not. Food was delicious and more than plentiful, really good and only slightly more expensive than some in town but far better value.

The location was superb, we could walk across to the Neptune Bastion, and also to the streets filled with cafe's restaurants, and small boutiques. The staff and the chef were superb and quick to respond to our expectations. Both dinner and breakfast were delightful especially the Sri Lankan cuisine, which the chef explained in great detail. It was like staying in our own home, and a luxury to come home to, after a hot day out in the sun.
