Indika, Dineshi and their children and all of the staff are really what makes places like these so special. We had a wonderful time. The hotel itself is spectacular! The pool refreshing and well designed throughout. The kitchen is excellent and the one time we decided to have dinner in Galle we were left wondering why we didn’t just stay at the hotel to eat the food was that good!

This beautifully restored property brings you back in time in the most elegant way. We loved every minute of our stay and our room and surrounds were unparalleled. It’s an easy still into the bustling town, but to be honest we almost felt like we didn’t want to leave. The staff were as welcoming and friendly as you could possibly imagine.

The Galle Heritage Villa is really a fantastic place to stay in Galle. Ideally located in a nice central street of the Galle Fort, this beautifully renovated colonial house is perfect. Very warm welcome from the people managing the place, very quiet area and room, at our arrival, and all along the stay. The Villa is decorated with a perfect taste and refinement, large common areas, a nice yard with trees, grass, amchairs and garlands of lights at night. We stayed in one of the 2 rooms at the frist floor. Our room was very accommodating and spacious, with a kettle for making tea and coffee. Here also a refined choice of teas. The bathroom was huge with every possible comfort and nicely decorated. The value for money was really good. Do not hesitate one second!

Well placed close de Galle Fort and to the main beaches by tuk tuk, but located in a quiet property away from the bustle and noise. Rooms are spacious and very clean, with comfortable beds and an amazing outdoor toilet & shower. Beautiful garden, a small clean pool in a natural environment and great breakfast. The owner was very kind and attentive, helpful in anything we needed. He made us feel at home and that really makes a difference. Absolutely recommend it and will certainly return if we are again in Galle.

This is a quaint and charming building located within Galle fort. The hotel exudes a strong heritage character and offers a beautifully designed space. I particularly enjoyed the iced tea served upon arrival, and the breakfast was exceptional. The hotel is conveniently within walking distance of numerous shops and restaurants, yet it remains secluded enough to ensure a peaceful night's rest. Also love the music playlist of the hotel :)

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.

If you're going to Galle, stay inside the Fort. Lots of charming little villas and boutique hotels where you can drop your bags and go walkabout, soaking in the colonial charm and enjoying the relaxed vibe. Great food options, live music and incredible sunsets.

Perfect location in the, heart of beautiful Galle. We felt. completely at home in this lovely family run hotel. Malika welcomed, us warmly with cold coconut juice. Her breakfasts were copious and delicious. We appreciated too the complimentary bottle of water given to us each day. Our room was not very big but very nice. Wonderful bed and pillows. The bathroom was by far the nicest we've had in Sri Lanka. Our stay here was especially enjoyable due to the kindness and friendliness of Malika who is a perfect and very professional host.

The hotel is located in a peaceful area, few minutes away from the city center, train station, bus center, and the beautiful Fort of Galle. You can find many comodities around, restaurants and supermarket, otherwise the hotel can cook delicious Sri Lankan cuisine too.

Don't look any further - this is by far the best guesthouse / hotel we stayed at during our holiday. Run by a very kind and hospitable Sri Lankan man with an Italian history, a lover of his 9 friendly cats, we enjoyed every minute of our stay. Bed was comfortable, great shower, excellent generous breakfast and all staff were utterly friendly and nice to us. Will be back next time I visit Galle!

The room was lovely and there is plenty of outside space to relax in. Huge bed! Great fresh Sri Lankan breakfast, and varied each morning. We would definitely stay here again if we return to Galle.
