This was by far the best stay of my three weeks of solo traveling in Sri Lanka. The boutique hotel is beautifully designed with such great taste by the owner, and the staff are incredibly friendly, doing everything they can to make you feel comfortable. The breakfast was delicious, and everything was spotless. After weeks of traveling around, I was able to fully relax here. I truly recommend this place to everyone ! the people are so kind, and the setting is stunning. You can even purchase some of the carefully curated items displayed in the hotel, which makes it extra special. An absolute top hotel!

It is wonderful stylish villa as expected. Located in the heart of this historic and iconic city, we enjoyed strolling to see the sunrise and sunset and exploring the beautiful shops. The staff were very nice and helpful. Mr. Azwan arranged a car charter. It was actually trustworthy because the driver is smart enough with a beautiful TOYOTA car. If you have any plan to do that, please ask the hotel they arrange you with a best value.

Amazing environment, best resort and spa ever. I have never experienced such impressive hospitality. I am vegan and they prepared a menu for me personally. They have great Yoga classes and spa. I was treated with respect and appreciation. All problems are solved within a single day. There are no words to describe how much I recommend the experiences offered here to anyone.

The most memorable feature of this beautifully curated and remarkable small boutique hotel is the warmth and friendliness of owners Maneyika and Charles. The staff and service levels are exemplary and the breakfasts, ordered directly off the a la carte menu, especially delicious and accompanied by Maneyika’s own handmade croissants, baked freshly for you. Oh, and the best coffee, yes truly, in all Sri Lanka. Take note that this charming little place is in the heart of a colorful heritage neighborhood and strict limits are imposed on what can and cannot be done in converting the building into an hotel. Please don’t come with expectations of luxury hotels with all the trappings and expect instead the feeling that you are an honored guest in the company and home of genuine and creative friends.

Ceylon Olive Galle

Hotel in Galle

Ceylon Olive is a colonial-style villa located 2.8 km from Galle Fort and 4 km from Unawatuna Beach. It offers open air bath, free parking and WiFi.

We recently stayed two nights at Ceylon Olive and overall, it was a wonderful experience. The cleanliness of the property was impeccable, and the location was perfect — close to key attractions yet tucked away in a peaceful area, making it the ideal retreat. The property itself was charming, with a lovely pool and a small garden that added a serene touch to the environment. One of my favorite parts was having breakfast served on the balcony — a truly relaxing start to the day, surrounded by nature. However, I should mention that the property has stairs, which may not be ideal for senior citizens. It did pose some difficulty for the older members of our group, as there was no elevator, making it less senior-friendly. This was more so since it rained making the stairs slippery. That said, the host was incredibly accommodating, always available to help and make sure we had everything we needed. I’d recommend this property to anyone looking for a peaceful and beautiful stay in Galle, as long as they are aware of the stairs.

The breakfast was to die for and the room was so nice and clean! The design and shape of the room is unique but as a design enthusiast, I really enjoyed it! One of the staff members ran after my tuktuk because I left my water bottle. They were all so kind! Would stay here again 100%

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.

This is an exceptional place to stay - we could not recommend it more highly. Beautiful jungle location teaming with birds and wildlife, gorgeous tasteful rooms, convenient location near Galle Fort and all the nearby beaches. Best of all were the staff. Anitha ran the most seamless operation and is a world class masseuse - make sure to try one of her treatments. Hashani’s food was the best we’ve had in Sri Lanka by far. Perera went out of his way to make us feel welcome and keep the place spotless.

The hotel is right in the middle of the jungle and each room is a standalone bungalow so you really are not in the middle of tourists (and there are many in Galle). Rooms are very large and very well decorated, especially the bathroom, which is just amazing. It is super comfortable and very clean. The swimming pool is great. If you tell them in advance, they can cook lunch or dinner for you and it is excellent Sri Lankan. Breakfast was also very good and a mix of continental and Sri Lankan.

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.
