    Galle is a city with a combination of a Dutch period fort and beach with all modern facilities. Dutch Fort is a very live well, reserved place with excellent attractions and choices. Walking over the museums and art galleries located in preserved ancient buildings is an excellent experience. fairly good nightlife available with ample choices of fine dining. within Fort, they charge higher prices due to high tourist demand. yet affordable eateries, supermarkets and facilities are available out of Fort within walking distance. Also people in Galle are very friendly, professional and helpful .

    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...

    We loved this small cozy hotel which was really worth the money. The pool was clean and wonderfully framed by vegetation. The monkeys jumped around in the trees and we got wonderful pictures of them. The 5 minute tuktuk ride to Galle fort, a beautiful area with lots of sights, eateries and shopping was free. At the hotel they had an unusual number of breakfast options. Everything from Sri Lankan breakfast to different pancakes and waffles and fresh fruits. The beds were comfortable and the area around the hotel was very quiet!

    The hotel is a partly original old renovated Dutch building used as the dining etc area dating back many years and a 3-5 year old new hotel main building. The rooms had lots of character and were tastefully appointed throughout with wooden furniture and antique style decor, wooden chairs on the verandas and wooden shutters for an authentic experience. The location of the hotel is good on the main road in from the Fort entrance and is very walkable for all areas within Galle Fort.

Quiet, relaxed, very small and charming- feel of a boutique hotel Price wise, for high quality of rooms and service as well as location inside the Fort and easy walking distance to all sightseeing, its a very good deal.

    Indika is a passionate owner and manager, who serves his customers with great care in this, his personally own created, guesthouse. This is not a chic boutique hotel, but a small, simple and personal ‘home’, coming as a reasonably low cost, perfect for backpackers who would enjoy basically ‘sleeping on top of the waves’. You will not be closer to the beautiful waters of Sri Lanka. Food, service, WiFi, beds are excellent!

    - The place is a few minutes of drive (5 mins) away from Galle, one of the main cities in the south side of Sri Lanka - 5-10 minutes drive to beautiful Unawatuna beach. - A brand new place. Therefore, all the items of furniture are pretty new. - The place is so comfortable and safe. - Never experienced any noise even though the place is in a residential area.

    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.
