Our room was big and decorated really nicely. The landing area with sofa and books to chill was really nice, and we could use the balcony, which looked directly out at the lighthouse. The location is really amazing! The fort walls are right on the doorstep. All of the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, they made our stay really nice. And finally, the breakfast...wow!!! Sri Lankan breakfast included egg hoppers, string hoppers, roti, curries, pancakes and a huge fruit platter...it was delicious!

location our terrace and view of lighthouse was very special staff especially Mr Sampath were super helpful,

A wonderful family owned business with exceptional hospitality. Anything we needed was considered. Breakfast was a choice between Western and Sri Lankan with big delicious fruit plate. Tea upon check in was amazing as well. Our room was gorgeous. The family also makes their own jewelry with the store set up downstairs! The location was positioned within walking distance from many stores and restaurants. We walked from the train station (about 15 minutes) but a tuk tuk would be a good option if you have rolling cases. Great "things to do" recommendations in their flip through book.

Simple but stylish rustic guesthouse located very centrally and conveniently, close to great cafes, shops and the historic fort walls. Zahima, the manager, was amazingly helpful. When one of the two friends I was travelling with got sick, she took her to the private doctor and ensured that she got everything she needed. Beyond that, she was also extremely responsive in responding to any request we had (at any hour of the day or night). Complementary water in the fridge was refilled daily.

This guest house is in a great location and very convenient to all local sights. The staff are very friendly and helpful, particularly Sampeth with his local insights and amazing breakfasts.

Very Quaint and colourful place. Room very spacious and immaculately clean. Breakfast had a bigger variety of fruits than breakfasts we had. Staff very attentive to our needs and caring. Will definitely 💯 visit again.

Great location right near the lighthouse and the Sri Lankan breakfast was elite. Lovely hosts as well.

I was for a short 2 days visit in Galle Fort. Antic Guesthouse is a very beautiful and extravagant Guesthouse. I had the room upstairs under the roof, and I liked it very much. Super clean and enough space. The bathroom was simple but in a fashion, modern style, I really like that kind of minimalism. Bed was very comfortable. Breakfast was good…. the fruit platter is fantastic. Second day I went on an half-day trip with Sampath the caretaker of the house and he is a wonderful and kind person who showed me around Galle. Sampath is also very helpful to help out whatever is needed.

We were roomed in a separate building right by the lighthouse. Perfect for the family with a balcony to watch the world go by.

very friendly host and great breakfast! it’s located very good in the old town!
