    One of the best stays in Galle. Situated at a very calming environment, this place offers a very unique hotel experience. Bird View is okay-ish. Restaurant location is awesome. Everything is satisfactory, the pool is out on the open, yet nice. Not affordable, definitely a one time visit for every locals or anyone comes to Galle. Recommend this place for group of friends and couples. Food is exemplary. Staff is very friendly and professional. CHEERS !

    Superb location. A panoramic view of Galle Fort, the bay, Rumassala brooding in the distance, and the verdant, surrounding countryside, from the highest point near the town, but just 15 minutes walk from the Old Gate to the Fort. A quiet, peaceful refuge from the bustling market below, its stillness moved only by the fresh sea breeze. A lovely place to sit in the evening and contemplate the fascinating history of Galle, remember the monumental public buildings and cosy verandahs of the old Dutch houses; to speculate whether the Portuguese, King Rajasingha II, the Dutch, and the English may have used the very ground one is sitting on, as a strategic lookout. And then to partake of an unforgettable, velvety, French onion soup, just one of the many delectable dishes produced by the gifted chef

    A charming little hotel in Galle is hidden up atop a hill. Particularly the front desk receptionist and the restaurant employees, the staff was really kind. We were welcomed by everyone. The bathrooms were a bit small. The lunch portions were a little bit smaller than the prior ones, but they were still decent.

    We went there for a day outing. Reached around 11:00 a.m. Got a welcome drink when arrived. Received a changing room. Then we changed and went to the pool. Pool has a beautiful view from the highest point in Galle town area. Can see the Roomassala, beautiful sea and the Galle harbor with a bird eye view of Galle city. The pool is child friendly. Then we went for the lunch. It was a set-menu but had several good options. Food was tasty. Have added some photos of the dishes. All of these were for a very reasonable price.

    Great service and staff were very friendly and welcoming. Food was very good. We had a set lunch menu which included sweet corn soup, a choice of pork/chicken/fish and dessert. The view from the roof top was amazing, you could see almost all of Galle from there. We only had lunch Herr and would definitely recommend for its ambience, view, service and food.

    We came here with elderly family and one lady in our party had a motor neuron disease making it very hard for her to climb steps. I specifically asked the hotel prior to making any reservation explaining that we had a disabled guest in our party. Are there steps? Only three steps at entrance I was told. "We have elevators". I even inquired about power cuts and they said "Don't worry madam we have a generator". That was a lie. Mislead by this unscrupulous hotel - our holiday was ruined. There are 16 steps entrance exposed to the rain before you can step into any elevator. Every single floor you have to either climb down 10 steps or up 5 steps to reach any elevator. But the absolute worst was the narrow 10 steps from the top-most elevator to their restaurant. Our guest with the walking disability had such a rough time. She made it up to that restaurant for one single meal. Next meal she felt her knees buckle under her and refused to go up to their restaurant. If she had fallen she could have easily had a fracture and been bed-ridden. It was a huge risk we did not want to push her to take. The entire trip from Colombo to Galle with 8 guests was to spend time with this wonderful lady who had trouble with steps. We booked 3 rooms for 2 nights and so had a total of 5 meals there and sadly our guest-of-honor and reason for the trip was stuck in her room with room-service for 4 of those meals. It was so sad. The first day's meal was about 1 hour late as well. Apart from being utterly DECEIVED by this hotel about the absolute lack of accessibility, the staff was wonderful, the food tasty and the place very clean. Special thanks to the concerned staff who were always willing to help our elderly guests and carried umbrellas for us when it rained etc.

    As soon as we arrived at The Lady Hill, we knew that we were in for a special stay. We're immediately struck by the warmth and hospitality of the staff. From the friendly greeting at the front desk to the impeccable service throughout our stay, we are consistently impressed by the level of care and attention. The hotel is partially built in 1776, this historic hotel exudes charm and character at every turn. The atmosphere is inviting, with a beautiful horse sculpture in the lobby and antique furnishings throughout the property. But it's the view from the restaurant that really takes the cake. Located at the highest point in Galle, the panoramic vistas are absolutely breathtaking. Whether we're sipping our morning coffee or enjoying a dinner, the views from the restaurant never cease to amaze me. The rooms at The Lady Hill are equally charming, with modern amenities. The beds are comfortable, the linens are soft, and the bathrooms are well-appointed but small shower cubicle. Overall, our stay at The Lady Hill has been an absolute delight. From the stunning views to the warm and welcoming atmosphere, I can't recommend this hotel enough. Whether you're looking for a romantic getaway or a relaxing retreat, The Lady Hill is the perfect choice. 5/5 stars!

    Really good location for this hotel. Small hotel compared to others but it feels peaceful and a very friendly atmosphere. Massage was great value and food was cooked there and then so fully fresh and hot. Overall a great hotel in a great location.

There are turtles and frogs in the garden which maked this place even more special. All recommendations!

    A place that offers the most elegant and excellent customer service with modern amenities built in an antique style. The beauty of the city of Galle is best seen with the balconies and the exquisite delicacies foods to choose from menu. The staff is constantly working to keep the rooms and the swimming pool clean and tidy, and to pay close attention to hygienic practices during the corona pandemic season. Highly Recommended

  • 4/5 Mahela M. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice little hotel tucked away on top of a hill in Galle. The staff was very nice, specially the receptionist at the front desk and the restaurant staff. Everyone made us feel welcome. The rooms were a bit small and had a cramped bathroom and awkward lighting. Not the best I've seen. Lunch was good but not spectacular. But the portion sizes were very impressive. Overall 4 stars. :)

  • 5/5 isuru d. 4 years ago on Google
    most epic thing about this hotel is the view from the restaurant. great view of the galle area and the ocean from top will be a unforgotten experience. staff is very friendly, place also very nice and very pleasant, but when i visit there for the second time the fish tank was very dirty and looks very unpleasant, overall nice and clean place. they have a great gem and jewellery collection as well. I have been there several times for lunch, side dishes and food was very limited and sometimes you can't match each other for a better taste. overall foods are tasty and have a great quantity for your pay.

  • 5/5 Janitha K. 4 years ago on Google
    Located on top of a hill, this hotel gives an excellent view of the city Galle. It is built in to reflect old architecture, maintaining the luxury and comfort. They have good rooms for tourists and the services are worth credited. The restaurant gives you an amazing view of the city. Nice place for a couple to chill and relax in an evening. Meals are good, tasty and adequate for a hungry eater. Prices are in the same range of the hotels in Galle fort or vicinity.

  • 4/5 Ehtashamul H. 4 years ago on Google
    I forgot to write a review just after coming back. But from all I can remember, the place was really really beautiful. No exaggeration there. The hotel is on a hilly area, and so you can see the whole of Gale from your balcony. The dining place is just gorgeous. The service is really nice. The architecture is intriguing. I lost all of my pictures and so I couldn't add them. But the hotel is really pretty. I think you can give it a try if you are in Gale.
