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...

Our stay in the Galle Fort area was an ideal way to unwind...
Our stay in the Galle Fort area was an ideal way to unwind after the hustle and bustle of days in Sri Lanka. It is an historic location with a mixture of dutch and English history with great restaurants and is an easy walk to get to anywhere in the Fort.
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.
Everyone who works here is really nice and helpful
Big rooms with light and spacious bathrooms
Sparkling clean
Easy communication with lovely staff - I asked for an early 6 AM check in and they made it happen without any issues for a small fee.
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.
Everything! Our stay was amazing, we were looked after so well by brilliant staff, and the accommodation is interesting and lovely. Breakfast was fantastic, the Sri Lankan hoppers were our favourite. Hotel organised a great tuk tuk driver too who took us around Galle, we really enjoyed our stay, they even made us a packed breakfast for our early morning train to Columbo - really kind and thoughtful. Thank you so much for making our holiday so special
The room was big, clean and lovely. It had everything you could possibly need and the light switches were set up like a hotel's, right by the bed. The owner and his wife are extremely nice and lovely people who make a great breakfast and will do everything they can to help you enjoy your stay. The hotel is also a 5 minute walk from the train station and another 5 from Galle Fort, so very convenient
The breakfast was delicious. We had a continental, as well as a sri lankan breakfast.
The Beach House was very tidy and clean and the staff was super friendly. The location is excellent as well, since the beach house is directly in front of the famous natural pools at Talpe Beach/Galle. We absolutely enjoyed our stay at Violet's and would definitely recommend it to our friends and family.
This homestay is near to Galle fort and the beach with beautiful streets and cafes. Rooms were cozy with all the facilities. The owner is kind and very helpful. We had a great time during our stay. It was a wonderful experience and would definitely recommend others to stay here and experience the same. We wish to visit here again in future. Thank you for the wonderful hospitality.

Mr Ranil & his family are very welcoming and thoughtful. Mr Ranil made contact with us before we arrived and arranged a driver for our journey from Ella to Galle. The 2-bed apartment we had was very clean, comfortable and air-conditioned. Breakfast on the terrace was lovely. The villa is close to the beach & some restaurants and a short tuk-tuk ride from Galle Fort.
The location is excellent in a small, quiet alley inside the fort. Close to everything. The family who runs the hotel is very nice and helpful. The lent us umbrellas when it rained a lot.
Beautiful children and cats. The family invited us for sri lankan milkrice for breakfast which we liked! The rooms are very clean and well equipped. The beds are comfortable.
Very nice hotel, in Galle Fort, next to the beach and the lighthouse.
The rooms are very nice, comfy bed, good working AC, warm water and Wifi.
The breakfast is very nice and you can choose between many options (its Sri Lankan breakfast, but they offer also omelettes, fruits, curd .. )
Also the guys there are very helpful and nice.
beautiful little place. delicious breakfast, and there were monkeys in the morning in the mango trees 🐒 they have a generator to deal with the long power cuts in Sri Lanka. and they sorted us a great driver for our next destination. location is perfect! right inside Galle Fort, close to lovely restaurants, shops and historic sights.
Beautifully restored boutique hotel. All staff were exceptionally helpful and friendly. Just a few meters from the Fort walls and Palmer Street which is really the centre of the fort village. Relaxing place, not too busy as only a limited number of rooms. Best breakfast we have had in Sri Lanka.
Everything was perfect. Personel was fantastic, very helpful and kind and polite. Generally people from Sri Lanka are great people. Rooms are amazing. The hotel is around 15 minutes away from Fort Galle. Breakfast was fantastic. Next time for sure I will choose the same hotel !!!
I loved my stay at Arches Fort and welcoming the new year with a fantastic Sri Lankan Breakfast! Thank you, Vinod and the staff for making my stay memorable! It is in close proximity to several shops and restaurants in the Galle Fort. I will probably stay there again!
Lovely boutique hotel. It was really comfortable, definitely one of our favorites in Sri Lanka. Staff were really helpful and we felt really well looked after. Rooms are well equipped with beautiful decor. Free tuk tuk to thr Fort is great. Highly recommend.
Good location, spacious rooms, good basic breakfast. Short walk to the Fort and town/shops. Quiet location. Staff friendly and helpful. A good option to explore Galle and close beaches. Manager Iflal was able to assist with some issues and arrange transport.
Unique stay just outside Galle - highly recommend staying here for at least one night (wished we could have stayed longer). Right by the beach, really nice atmosphere and good food. Incredibly good value! One of our favourite stays in Sri Lanka!
Very beautiful boutique hotel, like from 18th century. Good breakfast, sausage no spicy, now we still in Sri Lanka and can’t find good sausage without spicy. ))) If you will read this, please recommend brand of this sausage )))
