We loved everything about our stay at olinda. The hosts and the staff all made us feel at home, which was the best part of the stay. They paid attention to small details whether it be attending to you or the room or the decor. The rooms were speck clean, and they maintained a rigorous cleaning schedule. The decor was lovely We didn’t want our stay to end and really appreciated the staff seeing us off. We would love to stay here anytime we visit galle.

Stunning colonial house converted to a boutique hotel. Tranquil garden and small pool, but fine to refresh after a hot day out. Beautiful views, we could see the sea from our room and we had monkeys outside our window watching us shower! The breakfast was delicious and there was plenty of it. Service was excellent too.

Best location of the fort,near the light house beach and close to the busy pedlar street, however calm and quiet in the property ensuring good rest. Breakfast choices were many, we had sri lankan and french breakfast each, couldn't decide wich was the best. Tasty, appetizing and authentic. Rooms were clean and comfy. Overall great use of space. Old dutch house turned into a beautiful hotel while keeping the original soul.

From

Our stay at Bartizan's would be one of the most memorable experience. They surprised us with a complementary upgrade upon check-in and from there onwards it was simply wow. Have to mention the hotel staff from the security person to waiters were very courtiers and we experienced the true srilankan hospitality throughout. Last but not the least the breakfast with very generous portions is something not to miss. Its the perfect place to relax and unwind but if u want to party there are plenty of places within walking proximity. Definitely will go back as we fell in love with the service of the staff.

The Galle Fort in Galle is my absolute favorite place — it...

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.

quaint and charming place, with a relaxed pace of life -- besides the Galle fort, peace tower, handloom factory, silk showroom, and spice garden, there lots of good places nearby with treks and forest trails-- mahamura, sinharaja, yala, ,kanneliya-- boon for nature lovers ! watch out for the leeches though !

If you're going to Galle, stay inside the Fort. Lots of charming little villas and boutique hotels where you can drop your bags and go walkabout, soaking in the colonial charm and enjoying the relaxed vibe. Great food options, live music and incredible sunsets.

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.

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.

Everything! Our stay was amazing, we were looked after so well by brilliant staff, and the accommodation is interesting and lovely. Breakfast was fantastic, the Sri Lankan hoppers were our favourite. Hotel organised a great tuk tuk driver too who took us around Galle, we really enjoyed our stay, they even made us a packed breakfast for our early morning train to Columbo - really kind and thoughtful. Thank you so much for making our holiday so special

Amazing quit place with friendly staff. The room was very pretty, clean and comfortable. We felt very welcome here. It was our last nights in Sri Lanka and was good to end it here. We did the small boat trip on the river beside the hotel, very fun. The swimming pool was clean and we saw some monkeys 😀 The bathroom was outside in the room so you feel like your in the jungle but it was very big and clean.

Lovely colonial hotel in the heart of historic Galle! Standard rooms are small but very nice and comfortable. Shower was great, good pressure. The staff was very friendly and helpful. There was kettle for tea/coffee, drinking water and ice available. We ordered Sri Lankan breakfast and it was delicious, with fresh coconut roti, dahl, eggs, fresh fruit salad, curd…
