Colonial villa perfectly renovated, the atmosphere , interiors and customer care are truly remarkable, nothing to envy to other hotels that may be more expensive and central. This place was meticolously crafted around the ideal stay in Galle, staff was extremely attentive to every need, absolutely discreet,all day dining, we felt so comfortable our 3 year old was going around the place as if we lived there. We genuinely loved it and invited friends to visit for a coffee just to recommend the place.

Finally a hotel who understands the meaning of ‘Home away from home’ Everything in this resort is focused on that. The interior, the cozy candle lights in your room, the restaurant and ofcourse the staff who will make you feel you are the only one at the resort. Special thanks to Amith the Cheff who prepared a special vegan dinner for me. Would have booked extra nights here if we didn’t need to go back home.

What a gem of a place to stay. From the moment we arrived Kumudu and team couldn’t do enough for us. A taxi transfer from Colombo airport to Galle was easily pre arranged and meeting the driver was slick. We stayed in a superior deluxe room with jungle view for 4 nights. Facilities great and outdoor shower lovely. There was the added personal touch of having breakfast every morning served on your own terrace. Lush planting made for secluded spaces and good to have a pool too. Although the location is slightly out of the fort it’s easily accessible using a tuk-tuk and it’s only about 40-50 minutes walk if you’re feeling energetic. Special mention needs to go to Eran, the Olive’s on site tuk-tuk driver. It was so easy and reassuring to be able to message and he’d be there to pick up/drop off within minutes. It’s also possible for him to take you further afield. We did a round trip to Koggala lake, a turtle sanctuary, tea plantation and saw stilt fishermen. An absolutely wonderful introduction to Sri Lankan hospitality and we can’t wait to return.

We had an unforgettable stay at The Bartizan. From the moment we arrived, the team went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and comfortable. A heartfelt thank you to Andrew for his exceptional hospitality, making our experience truly memorable and going the extra mile to ensure we had everything we needed. His effort truly made all the difference. The room was charming and spacious. The hotel's decor is stunning, with each space thoughtfully designed to retain the building's original character while adding a romantic, authentic touch that truly enhances the experience.

We were greeted with plush, icy hand towels to wipe away the heat and grime of our travel. After a very relaxed check-in, we were given complimentary iced teas (fabulous!) and invited to attend the nightly flag lowering ceremony on the roof - which we did. This hotel is in a brilliant location - within walking distance to everything, and right in the heart of the old fort. The ambience is both eclectic and an homage to old Sri Lanka, with many old photos and artefacts skillfully arranged to create an inviting environment. The breakfast, which is a point of pride, is fabulous - beautiful, fresh food, carefully presented in a lovely dining room. They even catered for my dietary restrictions, replacing the french toast with a fluffy omelette. The staff are amazing - professional, friendly, generous and kind. Nothing was too much trouble and we were treated with the greatest of hospitality. We are so glad that we chose Prince of Galle as our final stay in Sri Lanka - it was a delightful end to a wonderful holiday.

Plenty to do in Galle, well worth visiting.

Plenty to do in Galle, well worth visiting. Just DON’T use the White Queen, as the manager will make it very difficult for you to get any redress if there’s a problem (I was charged for a five night stay instead of Four, and only realised after payment had been taken-silly me!) Enjoy your stay, just elsewhere in Galle.

Absolutely filthy city.

Absolutely filthy city. Litter everywhere, all around the fort was dirty and had rubbish , plastic waste and broken bottles strewn around and piled up in bags. They should revoke the UNESCO rating for the fort so the government clean it up. It was months of rubbish or like a field after a festival and not just rubbish after a weekend. There were just a few rubbish bins around the ramparts but they were overflowing and broken By far the dirtiest city we have visited in Sri Lanka

The Galle Fort in Galle is my absolute favorite place — it has a vibe of its own. It’s completely safe at any time of the day, even for solo travelers. There’s so much history within the Fort walls to learn about and beautiful architecture to explore. The hosts at the restaurants and hotels inside the Fort are amazing, and the service is truly of international standard. The view of the Indian Ocean from the Ramparts is simply breathtaking. There are plenty of restaurants offering a wide variety of cuisines and dishes to try. Outside the Fort, I highly recommend visiting the beaches at Unawatuna, just a few kilometers from Galle City Centre. While you’re there, don’t miss the Japanese Peace Pagoda at Rumassala — you won’t regret it! Yaddehimulla Road in Unawatuna has everything from surf schools and restaurants to gem shops, gelato spots, international cuisines, and everything in between. For quick bites and essentials, SPAR Supermarket at Galle City Centre is your go-to place. You’ll find tasty rice and curry meals, ready-to-eat options, mosquito repellent, basic medical supplies, snacks, good-quality fruits, and other everyday necessities.

The vibe that Galle fort shares during anytime of the day is marvelous. It is a super child friendly place with amazing shops and places at every corner. It has the ambience of a unique blend between antiquity and modernity filled with aesthetic taste of rich culture and art. Seems its potential is still untapped fully. Loved the eateries and little cafes designed with elegance and charm. It showcases the serenity of a typical European port city with Dutch colonial architecture.

It is really central, but quiet, and inside the fort. If you are staying one night in Galle, this is so far the best hotel we have seen. The employees are super nice, and the food they serve is typical from Sri Lanka, but you also have an option for continental breakfast if you want. The room was spacious, and it was nice to wake with monkeys on the balcony.

We liked everything about Yara Galle Fort. The historic building, the location, the size and style of the room, the delicious and generous Sri Lankan breakfast and the friendly and helpful staff. We could walk everywhere from the hotel and it was quiet and comfortable at night. We thought it was great value for money for the quality of the accommodation.
