The Merchant is perfectly located - basically a five minute walk from any point in Galle Fort. The rooms are lovely, big and modern. The restaurant downstairs is one of the best in Galle, and one of the few places that is still lively past 9 pm. The breakfast was great too.

Fantastic resort in the middle of the lush jungle but also close to some of the beautiful beaches of Galle. The resort and room were impeccably presented and complimented by a lovely team who were always happy to help. Special mention to Upeka for her great advice and assistance as well as Tarindu for the excellent tuktuk service. Highly recommended this place for a super relaxed getaway

Ceylon Olive Galle

Hotel in Galle

Ceylon Olive is a colonial-style villa located 2.8 km from Galle Fort and 4 km from Unawatuna Beach. It offers open air bath, free parking and WiFi.

P
PRERNA
From

We recently stayed two nights at Ceylon Olive and overall, it was a wonderful experience. The cleanliness of the property was impeccable, and the location was perfect — close to key attractions yet tucked away in a peaceful area, making it the ideal retreat. The property itself was charming, with a lovely pool and a small garden that added a serene touch to the environment. One of my favorite parts was having breakfast served on the balcony — a truly relaxing start to the day, surrounded by nature. However, I should mention that the property has stairs, which may not be ideal for senior citizens. It did pose some difficulty for the older members of our group, as there was no elevator, making it less senior-friendly. This was more so since it rained making the stairs slippery. That said, the host was incredibly accommodating, always available to help and make sure we had everything we needed. I’d recommend this property to anyone looking for a peaceful and beautiful stay in Galle, as long as they are aware of the stairs.

Hotel in Old Town, Galle

200 metres from Dutch Church Galle, Prince of Galle is situated within the fortress walls of Galle Fort and features free WiFi, express check-in and check-out and concierge services.

We were greeted with plush, icy hand towels to wipe away the heat and grime of our travel. After a very relaxed check-in, we were given complimentary iced teas (fabulous!) and invited to attend the nightly flag lowering ceremony on the roof - which we did. This hotel is in a brilliant location - within walking distance to everything, and right in the heart of the old fort. The ambience is both eclectic and an homage to old Sri Lanka, with many old photos and artefacts skillfully arranged to create an inviting environment. The breakfast, which is a point of pride, is fabulous - beautiful, fresh food, carefully presented in a lovely dining room. They even catered for my dietary restrictions, replacing the french toast with a fluffy omelette. The staff are amazing - professional, friendly, generous and kind. Nothing was too much trouble and we were treated with the greatest of hospitality. We are so glad that we chose Prince of Galle as our final stay in Sri Lanka - it was a delightful end to a wonderful holiday.

    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.

    The vibe that Galle fort shares during anytime of the day is marvelous. It is a super child friendly place with amazing shops and places at every corner. It has the ambience of a unique blend between antiquity and modernity filled with aesthetic taste of rich culture and art. Seems its potential is still untapped fully. Loved the eateries and little cafes designed with elegance and charm. It showcases the serenity of a typical European port city with Dutch colonial architecture.

    We originally had one full day planned at Galle but we ended up being there for longer. We didn't need to be there any longer than one day. The walk around the Fort was lovely but there were not really many good shops to see and it was a little touristy in the Fort. Unfortunately they still let cars and motorbikes and Tuk Tuks in the street of the Fort which was difficult to navigate. Not really much to do in Galle except for the Fort.

    Galle is a beautiful coastal city that blends colonial charm with tropical vibes. Walking through the Galle Fort feels like stepping back in time, with its cobblestone streets, vintage buildings, and ocean views at every turn. The atmosphere is peaceful yet full of character, with cozy cafés, art shops, and friendly locals. A must-visit destination for anyone exploring southern Sri Lanka!

    This is an exceptional place to stay - we could not recommend it more highly. Beautiful jungle location teaming with birds and wildlife, gorgeous tasteful rooms, convenient location near Galle Fort and all the nearby beaches. Best of all were the staff. Anitha ran the most seamless operation and is a world class masseuse - make sure to try one of her treatments. Hashani’s food was the best we’ve had in Sri Lanka by far. Perera went out of his way to make us feel welcome and keep the place spotless.

    We cannot enough stress how much we loved staying with at this hotel. Indika is a fantastic host, he cooks the best fish, and really makes you feel at home. The location is amazing and the whole family loved it. It is 4 inutes from a turtle farm, 4 minutes from elephant riding and 20 min from Galle and really fun surfing. It is really REALLY good value from money. Would def go back next time I come to Sri Lanka,

She also explained to us how to properly eat the Sri Lankan breakfast, which by the way was delicious! I can highly recommend this cute hotel, with very good location, next to the Galle Lighthouse.

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.
