Popular points of interest near the accommodation include Mahamodara Beach, Galle International Cricket Stadium and Galle Fort. Koggala Airport is 13 km from the property, and the property offers a paid airport shuttle service. Brixia cafe & Guest turned out to be a perfect choice of location and comfort for our stay in Galle. It was close to the fort which we were able to walk to easily from the small hotel, and also a 5-10 minute walk to the train station. The hotel has a very relaxing atmosphere. Our room had a large bed excellent air conditioning and a large attached bathroom. There was a large balcony area, which was excellent for viewing the neighbourhood and also for hanging our washed laundry. The breakfasts are truly gourmet. On our final day we had an early start as we had a 7:15 AM train to catch to Colombo. We were very appreciative of the staff arranging for an early breakfast before our departure. Overall our stay was the first class experience.

Ideally situated in the centre of Galle, Olinda Galle features air-conditioned rooms with free WiFi, free private parking and room service. Among the various facilities are an outdoor swimming pool, a garden, as well as a terrace. The property is non-smoking and is situated 200 metres from Mahamodara Beach. This hotel was the highlight of our trip. We booked it for our last days here and we ended up extending. The place is detailed and beautiful. Super chill vibe, especially by the pool and little walks around the property. They have a restaurant and we got addicted to the curry and paratha. The hosts are amazing and were the most welcoming people we met throughout our trip. Major attractions were a few minutes away by tuktuk. The whole staff of this place made our stay beyond amazing.

Situated in Hikkaduwa, within 400 metres of Narigama beach and 16 km of Galle International Cricket Stadium, DreamTime features accommodation with an outdoor swimming pool as well as free private parking for guests who drive. The property has garden views and is 16 km from Dutch Church Galle and 16 km from Galle Fort. Japanese Peace Pagoda is 21 km from the guest house and Kushtarajagala is 42 km away. I liked the practicality of the the concrete finishes on these builds. They had there own personal tuk tuk driver which was rather convenient given the location isn’t on a main road. They have a sister company (Amaroo) which is located on the beach which they suggested and was also fantastic.

Villa Rumassala Luxury Chalets Unawatuna features a fitness centre, a garden and a sun terrace with swimming pool and continental breakfast in Unawatuna. The property is around 1.9 km from Jungle Beach, 4.8 km from Galle International Cricket Stadium and 5 km from Galle Fort. The accommodation provides a 24-hour front desk, airport transfers, room service and free WiFi throughout the property. I had a fantastic 7-day stay at Villa Rumassala—and I loved it so much that I extended my visit by another 10 days. I was based there while completing a medical elective at a nearby hospital, and the villa offered the perfect balance of comfort and tranquillity. Tucked away from the main road, it felt like a peaceful retreat, complete with a serene pool and fresh towels provided daily. The Villas are located about 15 min walk from the main Unawatuna beach and shopping/food area or a short tuktuk ride to Jungle beach (unless you're ok with walking up some steep hills!). The rooms were spacious, exceptionally comfortable, and featured modern, spotless bathrooms. I particularly appreciated the communal kitchen area, which included a kettle and a washing machine—small touches that made a big difference during a longer stay. There was 24/7 security, making me feel safe throughout my stay. There was also a small gym that was open 24/7, however it did not have aircon which might put people off using in the Sri Lankan heat! What truly made my time unforgettable was the staff. They were incredibly warm and welcoming, always making sure I had everything I needed. I was even invited to join in the Sinhala New Year celebrations—a beautiful and memorable experience. A special thank you to Sasini, whose kindness and attention to detail ensured I was comfortable throughout my stay.

The property is around 7.7 km from Galle International Cricket Stadium, 7.8 km from Galle Fort and 7.9 km from Dutch Church Galle. The accommodation features a 24-hour front desk, airport transfers, a shared kitchen and free WiFi throughout the property. The structure is perfect! Once you enter you will never want to leave! The owner is the kindest and most altruistic person you will meet during your trip. All the staff are super helpful (they picked us up at the station and picked us to the main road several times) The services are always clean, the kitchen is very spacious and well served, the owner has also provided tea and several infusions for every need, all of high quality. Relaxing outside will be a must! More than in a hostel I felt like I was staying in a 5-star hotel !! 😍 The owner also made us do meditation and for my birthday they also organized a wonderful surprise, I couldn’t ask for anything better, we felt like family, we can’t wait to come back!

Boasting a garden, the recently renovated Villa Sea View is situated in the centre of Galle, close to Mahamodara Beach. The property has sea and garden views, and is 800 metres from Galle International Cricket Stadium. The accommodation features a 24-hour front desk, full-day security and currency exchange for guests. Walkable distance to the entrance of Galle Fort. Superbly clean and wonderful view from the room. I would further recommend rooms on the higher floor which is nearing completion next November which will give you a way better view. The toilet and shower is clean and fitting with quality fittings and finishing. Beds were comfy , room size is a bit small but wasn't an issue. Nice seating area in the balcony to enjoy the sea view right in front of the rooms. The food is also very good and tasty, their seafood is one of the best . The owner Ms. Darshie is a very friendly and helpful, she really takes her guest to the heart and ensures each one of them has a comfortable stay. She doubles up as the chef and made us the best breakfast ever ! Overall this is the best hotel for us in the entire Sri Lanka! A special mention for the husband whom took the trouble to drop us off at the Railway station on our departure. Thank you Sir !
