Amazing stay – highly recommended! I had a wonderful experience at this hotel. The room was clean, comfortable, and beautifully maintained. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful throughout my stay — always ready to assist with a smile. Breakfast was fresh and delicious, with a good variety of options. The location is perfect: close to everything but still quiet enough to relax. I truly enjoyed every moment here and would definitely come back. Thank you for making my trip so pleasant!

Dillan was really friendly, accommodating and helped me with my transport options to get to the airport. The breakfast was really tasty. The room was a good size, comfy bed, A/C, and had a Fridge, kettle, Couch and Balcony. The hotel is in a great location within the Fort and a short walk to nice cafes, restaurants and the beach. I'd definitely recommend this hotel.

The welcome was charming and jazz piano playing from the first floor. We had the King’s suite which was really lovely on the top floor. They left delicious coffee for us on the beautiful balcony overlooking the lower floors. It was perfect for our one night stay. The staff were very accommodating.

    If you're going to Galle, stay inside the Fort.

    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 a cool city to visit. The cobblestone streets inside the fort take you back centuries & add to the fantastic historical charm of this town. There are great restaurants around Peddlers St and plenty to do exploring the fort & the nearby beaches. Unfortunately, our stay here was too short & we were unable to explore further outside the fortress walls. Save that for next time.

    The staff was welcoming, helpful, and friendly. The hotel is located in a prime spot—just a short walk from the Galle Clock Tower, popular restaurants, museums, the lighthouse, and even bathing spots. Galle Fort is a stunning location in Sri Lanka, and staying here gave us easy access to everything it has to offer. Breakfast was a simple yet satisfying English breakfast, served with a fresh fruit platter and coffee. And all of this came at a very reasonable rate. Until we meet again, Thank you, Sunset Fort Galle!

    This was a very comfortable and excellently located hotel. The outstanding element to our stay were the hotel staff led by Hirudima. They were delightful and Hirudima went out of his way to be helpful and friendly. He even organised a courier to deliver a bag we left behind to our next location. The hotel staff made our stay in Galle a real pleasure and were among the very best we have encountered throughout our many hotel stays in Sri Lanka.

    I have experience an amazing hospitality from all the staff members ! The room was large and confortable, with a beautiful view over the city. The hotel is located in a peaceful area, few minutes away from the city center, train station, bus center, and the beautiful Fort of Galle. You can find many comodities around, restaurants and supermarket, otherwise the hotel can cook delicious Sri Lankan cuisine too.

    The staff are so friendly and welcoming, they really want you to enjoy your stay. Kitchen facilities mean you can prepare your own meals and fruit. The location is good, especially with your own transport, as you're equidistant from the beaches in Unawatuna and Galle fort. My sister stayed in the double room with private bathroom and she said it was the nicest room she'd stayed in in Sri Lanka thus far.

    A beautiful decorated boutique hotel in a good location away from the busy part of the fort but walkable all around. All the staff were very friendly and always happy to help with anything. It was good to see the hotel is making an effort to reduce the use of plastic - water bottles and toiletries. Sri Lankan breakfast was very filling and tasty.
