    The district I stayed in reminded me of Kerala/India. I had great walks and have seen so many interesting places besides Dutch Fort. I ate at Seagalle Hotel & Restaurant with good food, very nice staff and low prices (milk tea: 250 Rs, veg. Noodles: 650 Rs).

    Coming from a young Country (New Zealand circa 1840), but aware of Sri Lanka's varietal Dutch, Portuguese, British, Colonial Histories, I found the Buildings left behind by the long ago passing presence of these Nations, amongst the reality of present day life within the confines of the Galle Fort, an alluring, appealing and enticing cocktail of fortuitous personal experience, and would encourage all who might be so disposed and contemplating a visit, to definitely list Galle as a Priority, Not to be Missed...

    Our stay in the Galle Fort area was an ideal way to unwind after the hustle and bustle of days in Sri Lanka. It is an historic location with a mixture of dutch and English history with great restaurants and is an easy walk to get to anywhere in the Fort.

    I visited Galle for the Literary Festival and not as a normal tourist so it would be unfair to judge it as a tourist destination. However it is a historical town with beautiful colonial architecture, enchanting hotels and a lively atmosphere and with many bars, restaurants and plenty of shops. Probably one of the unique places on the island.

    Perfect location in the, heart of beautiful Galle. We felt. completely at home in this lovely family run hotel. Malika welcomed, us warmly with cold coconut juice. Her breakfasts were copious and delicious. We appreciated too the complimentary bottle of water given to us each day. Our room was not very big but very nice. Wonderful bed and pillows. The bathroom was by far the nicest we've had in Sri Lanka. Our stay here was especially enjoyable due to the kindness and friendliness of Malika who is a perfect and very professional host.

    The guest house is owned and run by lovely family. They were very hospitable and ready to help. Location is great: close to railway and bus stations, quiet area, behind the Asiri hospital [convenient for PCR testing], walking distance to Galle Fort, short ride to Unawatuna beach. We had one of the best breakfasts in Sri lanka in this hotel, notably proper Italian coffee. Room was spacious, clean, with all facilities, huge balcony, TV, excellent wifi. We highly recommend this guest house if you would like to have a pleasant stay in Galle

    Mango House is a little hidden gem! We were welcomed with cocanut water and friendly smiles. Since the hotel wasn't busy, we were upgraded to a room with a private garden patio for free. The room was comfortable with hot water and bed nets. Breakfast was delicious: a big plate of fresh fruit, eggs, chicken sausage and toast. They also have other breakfast options as well. Before we left I enjoyed my tea on our private patio. This is a little oasis in the middle of Fort Galle and an excellent value.

    Everything! Fantastic location in the centre of Galle Fort. We had a front room with balcony - great to sit out on and not noisy at night and the bonus of a resident peacock displaying on the balcony opposite! Beautiful property and delightful staff. Vinod and his team make you feel a million dollars with small details adding to a first rate experience, from the flower displays to the gentle jazz music, a super clean property and great air con. The BEST Sri Lankan breakfast and great coffee too.

    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.

    If you are looking for a hotel to stay in Galle, this is honestly the best one you can find! The hotel is stunning and its location is the best. Moreover, the staff is the super professional and helpful. The most delicious breakfast you will eat in Sri Lanka. Anything positive I can say about this hotel will not be enough to describe it! Sadly, we could only spend the last two days of our trip and, if we could go back, we would definitely repeat the experience at Fort Printers.

    The staff were very welcoming and accommodating with our meal requests for our 4yr old. All covid precautions were taken and standards were maintained to the highest level. Room was clean and extremely spacious. The private pool in the room was very useful given the current covid situation, where communal pool use is restricted. The beach and galle fort views were absolutely breathtaking. Our son enjoyed building sandcastles on the clean beach!

The food, and we had great Sri Lankan breakfasts every morning. The price, which was very reasonable given the quality of the room, breakfast, service and location, especially compared to what I saw from other hotels with a similar colonial aesthetic.

    A small nice hotel tucked into Galle centre, we had the room which backed onto the entrance lobby, not the end of the world, just meant no outside fresh air. The hotel itself is good in decor and had everything we needed. Great location for walking everywhere in Galle, plenty of good food nearby. The breakfast was good, with options for continental or Sri Lankan.

    The hosts were very generous. At the end of my stay, which was the New Year day, they hosted a small Sri Lankan tea party which was very sweet. They did not mind me roaming around Galle late in the night. The most convenient thing was that this place was very very close to the touristy things in Galle.
