    GALLE FORT is great for a one day visit.

    GALLE FORT is great for a one day visit. The town is small and some shops are repetitive, with the same items for sale, but there are a few unique shops and restaurants which make a visit worthwhile. Sunsets are beautiful; walk along the top of fort walls. Take a tuk tuk to the local fish market just outside of town for vibrant local life and walk back. We stayed overnight which made the visit more relaxing.

    Galle is a city with a combination of a Dutch period fort and beach with all modern facilities. Dutch Fort is a very live well, reserved place with excellent attractions and choices. Walking over the museums and art galleries located in preserved ancient buildings is an excellent experience. fairly good nightlife available with ample choices of fine dining. within Fort, they charge higher prices due to high tourist demand. yet affordable eateries, supermarkets and facilities are available out of Fort within walking distance. Also people in Galle are very friendly, professional and helpful .

    This is a small friendly homestay. The location is perfect for Galle Fort, in the middle of the busiest tourist street with shops and restaurants. It's a 5 minute walk to pretty much anywhere in Galle Fort from the guesthouse but it's not noisy. Breakfast, served on the balcony, is a choice of the usual eggs, fruit and toast, with juice and tea/coffee. Or you can pre-order Sri Lankan breakfast which we did on day 2 and it was great! Hoppers and eggs with daal, sweet and sour fried onion and chilli sambol. Delicious!

You can see monkeys in the morning and evening. (Being your binoculars) The staff was super friendly and helpful whenever needed. The sri lankan breakfast was very yummy. Even though remotely in the nature if you want to go to galle it is still only 20 min by TukTuk or 5 min to the beach.

    A really pleasant surprise and a great place for my last night in Sri Lanka. The room is a decent size, clean and comfortable. The hotel is in a really handy location. Perhaps a 20 min walk to the Lighthouse. I was also really impressed with the fact that I had to leave the hotel at 6am in order to get my flight, and the hotel owner got up to make me a brew and small bit of breakfast.
