It’s a beautiful historic property in a great location. The staff is wonderful. The restaurant is quite good. The rooms have been so thoughtfully decorated. We loved the grounds of the hotel, with so many beautiful trees, watching the monkeys.

-We were offered an upgrade to the King's Suite which was a wonderful gesture by the manager. -The room was huge and very well-ventilated and bright. The manager was attentive to all our requirements. -Being a vegetarian, I did not have a lot of options for breakfast or other meals, however, the chef Isuru and other kitchen staff went out of the way to make vegetarian meal options for me. -They arranged for a spa treatment upon request for us and the masseuse knew his work. I would like to conclude by saying that both the property and kitchen staff at Tavetti understand the ethics of the Hospitality industry well!

Epic end to a Sri Lankan journey in a truly surreal small luxury hotel I had the pleasure of staying at this stunning luxury enclave overlooking the surreal ocean and Koggala lake during my memorable trip to Sri Lanka. I encountered a smooth check-in with warm greetings and a refreshing homemade drink made out of garden plucked ingredients. How lovely! Chef met me on arrival and made sure the favorite Sri Lankan curries and flavors are well heard and looked after. Room was thoughtfully designed with every detail being looked at, something you would expect a luxury resort of this level to be of. It smelled of Cinnamon and towels / bed linen were so fluffy and fresh. Restaurant The Dutch served warm, freshly cooked meals. Their Coconut Prawn Curry was the best. Service by Akila and team was impeccable. After lunch I was ready for a day by their amazing jungle pool surrounded by lush green overlooking the magical ocean. It was really relaxing and again the drinks and food served by the lounge was top notch. I had the most rejuvenating treatment at their Spa and the therapist was so diligent. All areas were clean and tidy with manicured gardens. I felt like I was in a very special place. Next day morning I ascended a small peak close to the resort with their in-house guide Nuwan on a very special tour of his family temple where he drew the life story of Lord Buddha. They also had few more experiences made in-house. A thoughtful addition to the stay.

I enjoyed my stay in Galle.

I enjoyed my stay in Galle. The place was very clean and the environment was relaxing. It’s a good location to explore the city and enjoy the beach. The staff was friendly and helpful. The only downside was that the beds were a bit old and already broken, so it wasn’t very comfortable. If they fix that, it would be a much better stay. Overall, a nice experience and good value.

Plenty to do in Galle, well worth visiting.

Plenty to do in Galle, well worth visiting. Just DON’T use the White Queen, as the manager will make it very difficult for you to get any redress if there’s a problem (I was charged for a five night stay instead of Four, and only realised after payment had been taken-silly me!) Enjoy your stay, just elsewhere in Galle.

Absolutely filthy city.

Absolutely filthy city. Litter everywhere, all around the fort was dirty and had rubbish , plastic waste and broken bottles strewn around and piled up in bags. They should revoke the UNESCO rating for the fort so the government clean it up. It was months of rubbish or like a field after a festival and not just rubbish after a weekend. There were just a few rubbish bins around the ramparts but they were overflowing and broken By far the dirtiest city we have visited in Sri Lanka

The Galle Fort in Galle is my absolute favorite place — it has a vibe of its own. It’s completely safe at any time of the day, even for solo travelers. There’s so much history within the Fort walls to learn about and beautiful architecture to explore. The hosts at the restaurants and hotels inside the Fort are amazing, and the service is truly of international standard. The view of the Indian Ocean from the Ramparts is simply breathtaking. There are plenty of restaurants offering a wide variety of cuisines and dishes to try. Outside the Fort, I highly recommend visiting the beaches at Unawatuna, just a few kilometers from Galle City Centre. While you’re there, don’t miss the Japanese Peace Pagoda at Rumassala — you won’t regret it! Yaddehimulla Road in Unawatuna has everything from surf schools and restaurants to gem shops, gelato spots, international cuisines, and everything in between. For quick bites and essentials, SPAR Supermarket at Galle City Centre is your go-to place. You’ll find tasty rice and curry meals, ready-to-eat options, mosquito repellent, basic medical supplies, snacks, good-quality fruits, and other everyday necessities.

A small nice hotel tucked into Galle centre, we had the room which backed onto the entrance lobby, not the end of the world, just meant no outside fresh air. The hotel itself is good in decor and had everything we needed. Great location for walking everywhere in Galle, plenty of good food nearby. The breakfast was good, with options for continental or Sri Lankan.
