This beautiful hotel and grounds were only outshone by the amazing, friendly and helpful staff. We couldn’t ask for a better stay in Galle.

Mark United States of America

Very nice property with a very interesting Sri Lankan Breakfast

Anita United States of America

Location was excellent. Breakfast was very good with a choice of Sri Lankan or western breakfast. Great ambiance with a wonderful porch to sit out at night to enjoy the sounds of Galle. Staff was friendly and welcoming. Rooms were very clean and comfortable.

Wade United States of America

The location is perfect, extremely close to some great restaurants like Bombay Brasserie. The wide verandahs are an amazing place to relax and watch the world go by. We loved the plantation chairs out there. The garden full of frangipani trees is also beautiful. At the price we paid, it's a good place to stay, despite the concerns we had.

Derek United States of America

Courtesy Pick up from the station by the hotel manager (Suneth Indika) was an unexpected and much appreciated added extra and he remained an absolutely tremendous asset throughout our stay. I could not have asked for a more hospitable experience. In what was a difficult time in Sri Lanka generally in relation to fuel and food supplies, he was outstanding and unfailing in attempting to ensure we had no issues that impacted us adversely. He went "well above and beyond".
