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 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 .

    Coming from a young Country (New Zealand circa 1840), but aware of Sri Lanka's varietal Dutch, Portuguese, British, Colonial Histories, I found the Buildings left behind by the long ago passing presence of these Nations, amongst the reality of present day life within the confines of the Galle Fort, an alluring, appealing and enticing cocktail of fortuitous personal experience, and would encourage all who might be so disposed and contemplating a visit, to definitely list Galle as a Priority, Not to be Missed...

    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.

Quiet, relaxed, very small and charming- feel of a boutique hotel Price wise, for high quality of rooms and service as well as location inside the Fort and easy walking distance to all sightseeing, its a very good deal.
