Ceylon Olive Galle, hotel in Galle

Ceylon Olive is a colonial-style villa located 1.7 mi from Galle Fort and 2.5 mi from Unawatuna Beach. It offers open air bath, free parking and WiFi.

We really enjoyed our stay at Ceylon Olive. We travelled there with our 1 year old and it was a nice changeup from staying at hotels on the beach. The room is beautifully designed and spacious. The host is personable and went above and beyond to ensure we had a great stay. There's a onsite tuk-tuk, which is convenient for getting to Galle and Unawatuna.

    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 .

    I was pleasantly surprised when I entered the hotel. It is well designed and the staff was very friendly. The room & bathroom were really clean and comfortable. I also felt really safe there which is a big deal for a solo female traveler. They were even good enough to offer to keep my bags with them until I finished some work in Galle after I checked out. Really thoughtful of them! They kept my bags safe and sound until I returned later that day to collect my bags. They even returned some earrings that I had unknowingly left in my room :)

    Nicest small hotel of the 5 we stayed at in Sri Lanka … good quality bed and linen for instance, lovely food (the Sri Lankan breakfast was a stand-out in quality), attractive decor which suited the era in which the house was built, and great location just around the corner from the action. Staff were friendly, and there would usually be someone stationed near the front door keeping an eye on passers-by and to provide assistance to guests if needed. The room was cleaned daily without having to ask (uncommon elsewhere, we found).

    The hotel is a partly original old renovated Dutch building used as the dining etc area dating back many years and a 3-5 year old new hotel main building. The rooms had lots of character and were tastefully appointed throughout with wooden furniture and antique style decor, wooden chairs on the verandas and wooden shutters for an authentic experience. The location of the hotel is good on the main road in from the Fort entrance and is very walkable for all areas within Galle Fort.

Breakfast was excellent every morning, both western and Sri Lankan options. Nicolas and his team could not have been any more helpful, 10/10 for the staff. Constantly milling around with a smile on their faces as standard! Would stay here again without any hesitation.
