This hotel is smack in the middle of the Fort area close to all the action. You can walk out the door and immediately start siteseeing, shopping, and enjoying the charming vibe of Galle Fort. Tons of great restaurants and shops all around. The restaurant served a great breakfast that was included in our rate. We had two rooms up a tiny spiral staircase, so this might be difficult with babies, toddlers, or seniors. It was fine for us and we enjoyed having a whole section to ourselves. The rooms faced a wall, so don't pick this hotel for the views, but it was definitely quiet, even tho we were close to lots of restaurants with live music. The staff are kind and helpful and it's overall fantastic value.

A beautiful & cozy property in Galle. Not too distant from the Fort. Spacious & Clean rooms. A wonderful garden area around the pool provided space for the family including the kids to play around. The best thing about the property was the hospitality exhibited by the staff and the owner- Kumudu. It felt like a stay at a close relative's place with love floating around and the bonus was to get to meet his mother, who greeted our family like her own and showered love & blessings on all of us. The breakfast was served like a family meal. Choice of food served on the table. The staff was eager to help and serve. We were skeptical about the outdoor shower in the back side of the room. But it turned out to be an attraction for all. It was a great stay that we had and whenever we are in Galle again, we would be opting to stay in this property only.

A wonderful Airbnb-style home that offered both comfort and hospitality. The staff were exceptionally friendly and went out of their way to ensure we had everything we needed throughout our stay. The bed was very comfortable. The team was extremely accommodating, helping us with local recommendations and adjusting to any special requests we had. Breakfast was fresh, delicious, and thoughtfully prepared. Overall, a warm and welcoming place that felt like a true home away from home.

    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.

    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 Galle Fort is basically comprised on hotels, restaurants, boutique shops, and banks, all housed in gorgeous old colonial buildings. For some, this will be heaven. For me, it was extremely touristy. A day or two is what I'd recommend.

    We loved this small cozy hotel which was really worth the money. The pool was clean and wonderfully framed by vegetation. The monkeys jumped around in the trees and we got wonderful pictures of them. The 5 minute tuktuk ride to Galle fort, a beautiful area with lots of sights, eateries and shopping was free. At the hotel they had an unusual number of breakfast options. Everything from Sri Lankan breakfast to different pancakes and waffles and fresh fruits. The beds were comfortable and the area around the hotel was very quiet!

    We chose this hotel because it seemed a nice place to recover from our long flight. We were not disappointed! We had a room with a lovely patio/balconny and we really enjoyed the pool and garden. The room was huge and looked great. Same goes for the bathroom. We loved the whole set-up. Sri Lankan breakfast was great too. Egg hoppers and fruit! The hotel arranged airport transport for us as well as a great tuktuk driver at competive prices. Galle fort was a bit of a walk. But then again, we knew a great tuktuk driver.

    Indika is a passionate owner and manager, who serves his customers with great care in this, his personally own created, guesthouse. This is not a chic boutique hotel, but a small, simple and personal ‘home’, coming as a reasonably low cost, perfect for backpackers who would enjoy basically ‘sleeping on top of the waves’. You will not be closer to the beautiful waters of Sri Lanka. Food, service, WiFi, beds are excellent!

    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.
