Very overpriced restaurant. Waited nearly an hour in an empty place for a quesadilla and a chickenbreast. And what restaurant doesn't serve any greens or salad with a main dish? The food we got served was decent but boring, making the whole experience far below expectations.

Lovely Dutch colonial guest house. Perfect for walking in the old town. Hosts very helpful. Roof top restaurant and bar excellent.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this guest house. A small boutique family run place. They were so welcoming. Great location. Would stay here again.

The staff is very welcoming and has been attentive to our requests — they kindly kept our luggage until the afternoon after we missed our train.

The room is simple but spotlessly clean, with a large bed equipped with a mosquito net, some storage space for clothes, and a safe.

The traditional Sri Lankan breakfast is delicious, and it’s very convenient to enjoy it on the terrace with a view of the sea.

This guesthouse is well located within the fort, close to shops and amenities.

Excellent location close in the Fort close to the ramparts. Easy to walk and explore. Swimming by the Lighthouse about 5 minutes' walk away. Bed clean and comfortable. Hosts kind and accommodating. Food available but we were out and about and ate as we went. Interesting busy street by day but quiet all night after 9pm.

A beautiful old house. Though the building is very old but so well maintained that it seems a newly built house on old model. The interior is well decorated with old fashioned furniture but everything is sparkling like brand new. The entire house, rooms and bathroom are very clean. There is a beautiful decorated balcony with swing, chairs and tables, where you can sit and have a coffee with a view of the street in front. Nice restaurant on the top floor of the hotel. Breakfast is provided there. The breakfast has a fixed menu but there are various options to choose from.
If you wish to stay overnight in Galle, I would say it is better to stay inside the fort. The atmosphere of Galle Fort is completely different from any other city. But for those who prefer a very quiet and peaceful environment, the environment of the fort will not suit them and most of the hotels in the fort are in very crowded places, inside small alleys, in a slightly dark environment. Compared to that, this hotel is in a very empty environment. Big open space in front. Very close to the main gate of the fort. Street view from the balcony is nice. I liked it.

Bedste placering lige ved havet og det gamle fort. Nabo til buddhist temple. Friendly staff, breakfirst is served With the best view. Breakfirst choises are a bit simple: You choose between bread, muesli or fruit - but it is of High quality.

We ate in the restaurant and had a fantastic meal. My wife had the curry and said it was by far the best curry she’s had in Sri Lanka. My calamari was lovely too. Great view lovely staff fantastic food and all at a great price. Highly recommended. The owner even gave us some banana and bread to feed the monkeys so we could get some photos.

The hotel is rustic and authentic. It is no generic international standard hotel by any stretch but it is classy, arty and boutique. In a quiet backstreet but an easy walk anywhere around the fort. Breakfast is delicious and very good but can become a bit repetitive if staying more than a day so a couple of other options to select would be good. Service is very good and friendly from staff.

We had the best stay at Prince of Galle. Such a lovely location, with beautiful interior design and thoughtful attention to detail. A real highlight for us was the friendly and genuinely caring service from Rukman, Kapila, and Sarengh, who made sure we were well looked after throughout our stay. The breakfast was also fantastic. Truly a little gem in Galle, we would definitely come back. Thank you to the whole team for making our stay so special.
30.01.2026 Oliver
Don’t think twice about staying here, Prince of Galle is a real gem. Effortlessly stylish with classic colonial charm, perfectly located inside Galle Fort with everything within easy walking distance. The staff are exceptional and genuinely go above and beyond. Rooms are small but beautifully done and completely in keeping with the building’s character. The iced tea really is the best, and breakfast is on another level. Highly recommended.
25.01.2026 Tim
This is a beautiful colonial style hotel on a quiet side street within the fort itself. We were lucky enough to stay in the Kings Residence on the top floor. The style of the property is Sri Lankan colonial but with western comforts like air conditioning. The top floor suite includes an open plan sitting area with chairs and access to a small terrace to view the sunset.
The staff are so welcoming and pandered to our every need. The breakfast justifies its billing as superb and is a lovely combination of Sri Lankan flavours served in a western style.

Recently visited here and absolutely loved every minute of my stay. From the moment I arrived, the hotel felt special, a perfect blend of historic charm and refined modern luxury, set in a truly serene atmosphere. The rooms were exceptionally comfortable, immaculately maintained, and offered breathtaking views that made the morning memorable. What truly stood out, however, was the staff. They were warm, attentive, and sincerely welcoming, making me feel valued throughout my stay. Every detail felt thoughtfully curated, from the ambience to the service. Prince of Galle is an ideal retreat for anyone seeking relaxation, elegance, and an unforgettable experience in Galle. I would highly recommend it and would return without hesitation.
