Hotels in Galle

Silent place with a very good breakfast. Rooms are spacious.

Good value for money. The rooms and bathrooms are basic but clean and the staff are very friendly and accommodating. Nothing fancy at all here but everything you need in a 'spend the night' hotel. The location is what it has most going for it, being just a stone's throw away from the ramparts and plenty of small cafes and coffee shops within minutes walking distance including the Hospital Road restaurant...

The service and care are top notch. The staff is very friendly.

We love this place!! We stayed 10 nights for our honeymoon. A great location from which to visit the many wonderful sites around the area. The location right next to the beach was perfect. The staff were really friendly and very helpful. The room was clean, quiet and secluded - the air conditioning was a God send! The atmosphere was so welcoming. Nothing was to much trouble for the lovely staff. The...

Very welcoming and friendly staff. Rooms were clean.

The hotel has got a lovely restaurant right by the water, with beautiful view.

We were fortunate enough to be hosted by the owners for a long lunch. The food was sensational - an excellent mix of Western and Sri Lankan, both seafood and non-seafood. The chicken pizza with an apricot base bew us away - the sweetness complemented the savoury elements was a flavour that I had never had before. The Sri Lankan fish bread (malu pang) fresh out of the oven was great comfort food. Afterwards...

Overall, a good family-type hotel. The hostess often greets guests herself, helps with any questions that arise. The staff is friendly, but slow. The restaurant has decent cuisine. The seafood pizza is especially good (cooked in an open fire oven). The rooms are clean, with minimal furnishings, the air conditioner works great, there is an additional fan on the ceiling. There is a safe in the closet...

Brilliant, everything was definitely perfect. The owner is a gentleman and the stuff extraordinary friendly and engaged. The rooms are cleaned every day and the restaurant serves delicious food for a very reasonable price. Absolutely the best note available! Wirklich alles perfekt, unbedingt zu empfehlen.

Staff is good. Friendly Service....

We had an amazing experience staying at this hotel. The location is good and short walk to beach or Cafe street. Also it's very close to liquor store. Which is very convenient. Staff is really friendly and they also offer tuktuk rides for local prices. Cheap! No need for haggling. Breakfast is very good and huge, so your stomach will get full. I also used their laundry service and my clothes got...

Great value for money and good location. Room had ensuite and AC. Room decor was on the dark side, but no complaints. Helpful owner on site.

I had an amazing stay at holidayin unawatuna ! The place is absolutely beautiful — peaceful, clean, and perfect for relaxing. The staff were all kind and helpful, always making sure everything was perfect. Special thanks to fernando for his warm hospitality and great communication. , the view from my room was breathtaking, and I truly felt at home. Highly recommend this place to anyone visiting the...

our stay was very good here. Good room with AC, the second day we turned off the AC and the room was still very cool and enjoyable. It was very affordable and the owner is a really kind person

Highly recommended our short-time rest place. Very clean rooms & the air conditioning fan works very well. Price is most reasonable. Car parking can use only few min car type vehicle only. If you plan to come to Galle reasonable price to a good place.

I had the pleasure of spending a night at this property in July and I had a very safe, clean and comfortable stay. The property owner is one of the kindest people I’ve met running a property and he was very helpful on any questions or requests I had. I’d highly recommend women solo travelers to stay at this place because of the close proximity to the beach, restaurants, ATMs and so on.

I'm a returning guest — I first stayed at this lovely family-run hotel six years ago and was so happy to come back. It's a small, welcoming place that truly makes you feel at home. The rooms are simple but very clean and thoughtfully equipped with everything you need: a safe, wardrobe, desk, mosquito net, drying rack, and a suitcase stand. You can choose between a fan room or one with air conditioning...

Good price/quality. Owner is really accommodating and kind.

Had a wonderful stay at Arken Lanka Hotel, Galle. The hotel is clean, comfortable, and well maintained, with a calm and relaxing atmosphere. The staff were extremely friendly, helpful, and always willing to assist with anything we needed. The location is convenient and makes it easy to explore Galle and nearby attractions. Rooms were spacious and tidy, and overall the stay felt great value for money...

Rooms are spacious and clean. It's good value for money. But keep in mind that the actual place is older than it looks like in the photos so it's a bit misleading. The actual design of the rooms and the furnishing is quite good considering the price. Also, there was supposed to be a TV in our room but only the TV mounting bracket existing which didn't really bother me but could be a deal breaker for...

The host is very friendly and helpful. Our room had balcony with beautiful view to the city. Everything was clean and bright. Specifically, I enjoyed our breakfast which included omelet, jam butter toaster, fruits and tea. I’d strongly suggest you this place for stay in Galle.

it was as nice stay, only a little drive from the actual fort and provided parking!

Clean and new bathroom with rain shower. For the best equipped room in this price category on Lanka. Quiet and a bit out of center but 20min walk and you are at train station. No one told me anything about breakfast. When I did the checkout they asked me to pay service fee which wasn’t mentioned on booking.com. When I showed them the price from booking.com they agreed to take away the service fee...

We Want Everyone to come visit this calm place and let you have the same wonderful feeling we had over the night.

Friendly staff. Nice property. Nice location. Reasonable price

Very nice hotel and staff. Excellent location!

5 star service, clean and comfy rooms, really good view, excellent breakfast and overall an amazing hotel!

Hotel is located across from the ocean within the fort area. The room was comfortable and clean. The upstairs open air dining area is a nice place to people-watch. Breakfast was plentiful, fresh, and tasty. The staff were helpful and attentive.

Very nice place highly recommended for familys

From the moment we arrived at Hotel Sri Gemunu, we were welcomed with incredible warmth and kindness. The service we experienced during our stay was truly exceptional. A few days before our arrival, my wife had an accident and had broken both her wrist and her foot on the left side, so she could only move around in a wheelchair. Despite this, we never once had to ask for help. The wonderful staff...

The hotel is in a fantastic location. Every room offers a wonderful ocean view, which makes the stay truly special. The rooms are quiet, you barely hear any traffic or noise from other guests. It’s a calm, peaceful hotel, perfect for relaxing and switching off. Our room was nice and clean. The bathroom could use some renovation, but the bedroom and especially the view more than make up for it. Aruna...

The location is absolutely perfect, with a stunningly beautiful beach that makes the experience truly special. The food was outstanding—fresh, delicious, and beautifully presented. What really stood out was the excellent service; every detail was handled with care and professionalism. The staff were incredibly positive, friendly, and always ready to help, making us feel genuinely welcome throughout...

A very special hotel. Beautiful beach front, great sunset views from the bar. Lovely breakfast. Kind staff made us feel special on our honeymoon. Thank you!

We visited Sri Geminu resort in October 2025 with my wife and daughter. The rooms are great and with great sea view. Being lulled to sleep by the sound of the waves is priceless. Service provided by the staff is exquisite, a real bespoke experience, thank you Aruna, Kasuni, Dilki! Location and beach are picturesque, miles of unspoiled beach. Turtle bay is a walking distance and a great location. Food...

Very relaxing environment and friendly staff. Food is really good and the place is very spacious. Was able to arrange a holiday out for 25 people without any issues.

It's a great villa, a warm pool, the sound of the ocean, delicious food! Very nice staff💔

We stayed at IVY for 3 nights. We were 18 adults and 9 kids (aged 5 months to 7 years). We had a comfortable stay. The service was impeccable. The chef customised the food for us as we are vegetarian and the taste was excellent. Mr Malith helped us with all the bookings for the resort, arranged cars for us, arranged a dj, set up a sit down dinner near the beach, a movie night also and was also prompt...

Great location with direct access to the beach. Staff were friendly and available to cater to any necessities while also not being intrusive. Rooms and washrooms were well maintained and had all the modern amenities. A small nitpick would be the mismatch of lighting colours in the rooms. Ambience on the lawn was great and served as an ideal place for a large gathering and for little kids to run around...

Very beautiful place with nice rooms and clean bathrooms. The view is gorgeous and peaceful. Special note about the service and the friendly staff. Will be coming again..

Excellent service and beautiful place. The rooms and bathrooms are up to the standard and very friendly staff. Highly recommend

Delicious fish & chips. Nice ambience inside a small courtyard and selection of drinks. I would suggest on a national holiday when they don’t sell alcohol to forewarn diners when they’re presented with menus including alcoholic drinks and also to remove the ‘cocktail of the day’ from the chalkboard. We weren’t told until we attempted to order wine and it wastes time making choices that aren’t available...

Lovely lunch in the garden area. We had the tuna and the prawn curry, both were very tasty!

Visit Fortaleza if you want to meet a celebrity cat. I love the ambiance and the Interior of the place. We didn't eat anything there. But found the location and the look of the place to be wonderful

Great restaurant but limited food options..

This hotel is in a perfect location to explore galle fort. The hotel is in a historic building, so you get a real sense of colonial galle. tip : they do have free wifi

For starters we had the vegetarian samosas and the king prawns with mango/Chilli neither were that great prawns quite small and Chilli just sweet Chilli sauce and the samosas were more deep fry than bursting with filling. However the mains were amazing!!! Sesame encrusted tuna w/ a tangy salad Japanese style and pan seared tuna with pumpkin mash. I recommend getting 3 mains between 2 people because...

I liked the place, it is cozy on the territory, they clean the rooms and, surprisingly, they don’t take tips left on the bed. The villa lacks the option "Order a cook" in order to cook fish from Fish Market :). There was only one minus, water from the refrigerator, price, a dollar per bottle at the end of the vacation for our large family was a surprise)))

The owner is a normal man, and the wife leaves much to be desired. For breakfast, eggs, bread, jam, butter, tea or coffee, AND EVERYTHING. Juice for a fee. There is a kitchen, but they are not allowed to use it for its intended purpose (wife), there is a grill (the story is the same ...) The hotels are clean. Grade "3" only thanks to the hostess. The hotel is not bad.

I urge people to read all reviews and make a balanced decision. There are posts on here from people who have not stayed here. They are local people / guest house owners , who try to rubbish what they see as competition.

I read great reviews and never expected such a nightmare. Hotels in Sri Lanka are for some reason several times more expensive than in other Asian countries, where you can get a real hotel with daily cleaning and professional staff for the same price. I arrived at the guesthouse from Negombo, got terribly carsick on the way, and was scammed by a scammer driver. I had no idea whether I would even make...

An absolute gem of a stay! Lovely owner and family made us feel most welcome (and she has the sweetest son). Our room was very clean and spacious with a mini kitchenette (kettle, sink, dishes, fridge). Great a/c, nice towels AND beach towels, and our own balcony. The 3rd floor also has nice terrace/seating area with oversized, comfortable furniture and flowering plants. The road is somewhat busy but...

Had a nice stay, the locations is really convenient and room was clean !

Right where you want it to be, at an affordable rate. The lady (and her family) running the place are incredibly accomodating. Rooms are also well-isolated as our room would still be comfortable even after keeping the AC off all day. Easy recommend.

A very good place to stay and incredibly clean. It is very close to the beach and perfectly located for visiting all the nearby beaches. The owner is extremely kind and welcoming, which made the stay even better. Truly recommend it.

Lovely stay! Very helpful and responsive host. Most of all, it’s exceptionally clean. Great location — beach is right across the street but I also had a great time chilling on their cute little terrace.

There’s no breakfast, so remember that the booking shows breakfast included is not correct. But the view is perfect.

Friendly staff, clean, bright airy room with seating outside on the veranda with a rooftop area to watch the sunset.

This is not a fancy hotel. It’s a guesthouse in the best possible location, run by nice people and with soft, clean linens and towels. Worth it for the sunset views alone.

Very friendly and service-minded staff, clean rooms and a good breakfast. Simple but well-kept accommodation and a great choice for travellers looking for a pleasant and affordable place to stay.

An amazing guest house right at the Ramparts,

Best view ever Absolutely best location overlooking the Ramparts , most delicious breakfast in an older type room but you have ever you need

This is truly an outstanding hotel for those who want to disconnect and spend some quality time with themselves. The atmosphere here is neveroyatno peaceful -- you are surrounded by nature, jungle, and complete tranquility. The hotel is perfect both for solo travelers and for families looking to relax and enjoy the beauty of nature. The service is exceptional -- the staff is attentive, caring, and...

We stayed at Jungle Village for 12 nights as a couple, and everything was simply perfect. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel at home with their warmth and genuine hospitality. The room was spotless, cozy, and surrounded by lush greenery that created a true tropical vibe. We loved being so close to nature — every day we could spot monkeys, colorful birds, and other wildlife right around...

Room was ok. Service was ok. Over all equal ok. But not more than that

The room was spacious, clean and luxurious. There were a few bugs but this is to be expected staying in the jungle. The check in staff were fantastic and very pleasant. The restaurant was a little slow with their service, and better food can be found in town.

This hotel is located in the middle of nowhere, it does not have many rooms either so if you are quite alone here. Just to be clear, is not a luxury resort, but the cost of staying here is high compared to with other places we have been in Sri Lanka. The staff seems to be untrained, you ask for one type of juice and they come with an other…. For us it was essential to have the PickMe app here to get...

A wonderful hotel in the jungle, with lush greenery and bungalows immersed in it. Breakfast is delicious, with a choice of local and European dishes, so you can easily fill up. The coconut jam is a must-order. Dinners are a solid C; the tuna and shrimp were overcooked, but overall edible.

Great location on a hill, it feels like Nuwara Eliya, but it's actually Hunawatuna. The food is excellent, and the pools, including private ones, are fantastic. Private villa with 3 bedrooms + swimming pool is great for big family. The scenery is perfect for Instagram photos.

Rooms are fabulous. Clean and spacious. Great architecture design . I loved the bathroom with jacuzzi and it is totally open and outside the room with great sea view .but maintained the privacy. But the hotel 'S public area is not maintained properly. Broken stairs. Dirty garden and walls. Yet the general manager is very helpful and he was kind enough to offer me the suite room. Didn't choose cos...

Sometimes back we were at this place on our honeymoon.We were think to come back for last weekend and its really value for money Rooms are done well with clean linen and spotless.They serve main meals from Ala carte and only breakfast on buffet.Matching various and tasty food. Having two pools and what a view on sunset.we enjoyed everything and definitely comeback with friends.

The best stay ever. The environment was pleasant and welcoming. Lovely hotel with a wonderful restaurant. Very friendly staff. Hotel is full of great art. Just a charming place.Both check-in and check-out were professionally handled and easy. Thank you everyone🙏🏻 Cheers🥂👋 ♥️Shanaka Madanayake. ♥️Hansika karunarathne Madanayake.

Villa Thawthisa Hotel is a paradise in every sense of the word. If you're seeking a luxurious and tranquil escape with stunning views, impeccable service, and a touch of Sri Lankan charm, look no further. My stay at this remarkable hotel was a journey of relaxation, exploration, and pure indulgence. I can't wait to return and savor its beauty and hospitality once again. This place is a true gem along...

Villa Thawthisa is really amazing..the staff is very comfortable and the service is very good.I am really happy to have Villa Thawthisa as my weekend stay and I recommend everyone to stay at this hotel.

Nice room. Pros: 1. Clean, cozy, and tidy. Stylish and antique. Plenty of space. 2. Large balcony with a great view of the wall and the ocean. There's a table and seating. The balcony is shared between two rooms, by the way. 3. Location. As described above. It's located next to the wall, meaning a good view. Below the balcony are old-style streets. 4. Breakfast. It's served at another hotel, also owned...

Very nice room, the reception staff is very polite, the room facilities are very modern, which is already a very high standard in Sri Lanka, and the room as a whole is very Dutch-style, (of course, since it is an old house, the soundproofing is so-so, you can listen at 8 o'clock in the morning The staff is cooking), I really recommend this hotel. If you have time to stay here for two or three days...

Great spot to explore Galle Super friendly and helpful staff that gave great recommendations for the rest of my trip. Room was clean, A/C was cold, water was hot for shower, and breakfast was amazing. I was even served a fresh mixed juice smoothie as part of the free breakfast. This is a algreat spot to explore the walls of the Galle Fort.

Right within the Galle Fort - The Family Suite was perfect for our stay, aesthetically pleasing and service was top notch - Extending my gratitude and appreciation to Samitha and everyone else who provided a A service - Definitely making a booking again in the future ☺️

Beautiful old Dutch house, lovely balcony with view of the fort walls and the sea beyond. View west to the setting sun. Swimming spot within three minutes walk. Good fan and AC. Good size room and bathroom. Very nice breakfast at a nearby property. Management and staff very helpful in a pleasant reserved way. Excellent value. Highly recommended.

We were so lucky to be able to enjoy our last night in this lovely house. We were given a room on the first floor with a balcony and a view of the Indian Ocean right on Pedlar's street and it was pretty quiet considering! We had a delicious breakfast with hoppers and pancakes and fresh papaya and bananas, as well as fresh juice. We will be sad to leave. The location is ideal for walking around this...

I came to City Stay Galle for the third time mid last month and stayed for two nights. The hospitality was very great. The rooms were very clean and tidy, there was a nice welcome drink, and the breakfast was good. It was amazing that I was able to check in early at 9 a.m. Mohan was very helpful and was always attending to me. Even at 3 a.m., after coming back from a techno event, he unlocked the...

Good budget stay for the price. Don't expect a view, but the facilities provided are sufficient. Conveniently located next to Indian Hut. Parking is limited, and while the service is good, there's room for improvement. Overall, it is a decent value option.

Very good service by Mohan. He helped us with rental bike and tuk tuk services. Room is clean and hot/cold water any time. Breakfast was good. All staff member including Mam 10/10. Surely we will recommend it to those who are in our network planning to visit sri lanka. Thank You Mohan

Friendly Staff Very Clean Excellent Very Fast Wifi Comfortable King/Queen size double bed. 1 mini fridge in the room Staff are conversant in 3 languages - Sinhala, Tamil and English. Towels looked like they have been used many times. No Bidet. No Slippers. No Toiletries are provided though advertised as such. Only 1 small piece of soap. No toothpaste, shampoo, body lotion, Shower Cap, etc. No Hair...

Very helpful and prepared staff! They helped us negotiate getting someone to hospital late at night for an urgent asthma treatment. They had a phone contact in English for international tourists that you could ring to access to doctors and arrange transport to the hospital. Very clean rooms. Lovely showers.

Reasonable prices, good food, friendly staff. We have stayed here for two days and place is really good also value for the money. City stay hotel is located in Dewata srilanka soon after you enter the southern express way on the left side of the road next to Indian Hut. Easy access to galle town, southern express way, galle bus stand, Unawatuna jungle beach.

Amazing family great location and very friendly highly recommend ❤️❤️❤️

Top locatie en super lieve mensen. Mooie en schone kamer.

Our small quartet arrived on February 20, 2019. A 3.5-hour transfer from Colombo Airport to Villa Thawthisa, provided by Ceylon My Dream, took us there. However, the access to the hotel itself was inconvenient, so we were transferred to the hotel minivan. The lovely receptionists greeted us warmly and quickly checked us in. Lanka Eco Village is a collection of small eco-style houses nestled away from...

Lovely staff, eager to please. Great views from cabin with facilities from hotel available. Meals expensive though, often cheaper delicious food down the hill.
