We stayed next door but ended up visiting daily for their iced teas and coffees (so good!!) And gorgeous ambience. We also finished our holiday with their delicious big brekkie. Would 100% stay here next time for lovely staff and super tasteful decorating/vibe.

I couldn’t believe how authentically well kept the Prince of Galle hotel was. It felt like we were stepping back in time. Our host Stefan went above and beyond to ensure we were taken care of with a lot of inside knowledge of the surrounding area such as restaurants and local hot spots. We also enjoyed laughing and getting to know him better.. such a treat, highly highly recommend staying here if you get the chance..

Very nice, clean and cozy place. The room is small but convenient design. Everything is perfect. Vietnamese ice coffee is signature drink from my home country that you must try. Staffs and owner are kind. Location is great for vacation.

Me and my partner were just wandering around Galle and stumbled upon this place. The signs that were outside saying “best iced coffee and iced tea in sri lanka” were the ones that got us inside. We sat down and let me say, the place itself looks so pretty and relaxing with the fish pond, lushes plants, marble tables. Both the iced tea and coffee were a blast not like those tasteless watery drinks some places serve. The coffee is served a bit different way than usual but for that you have to go visit the place. Amazing, will miss the iced tea.

This is a true gem and very special place, with only four rooms and the best service in town. The staff is really friendly and very helpful with everything from special gluten-free bread to hiring a all day driver. Every night the hotel host a live piano concert inside the old Portuguese living room creating a very wonderful and authentic experience. A true gem and very recommendable.

Quick walk to the fort wall. This boutique hotel located in the heart of the Galle fort is a standout. They do all the little things right. Including a nice coffee/tea set up outside the room in the morning. The rooms are clean and beautiful. Shower is a little close to the toilet with no curtain but they provide some extremely comfortable flip flops if you have to use the toilet after taking a shower. The 6 room place is beautifully decorated with old photos from the house. It has an elegant upstairs sitting area. The breakfast was exceptional. Iced coffee brewed right in front of you. Mini hoppers with delish toppings and every dish they brought out stimulated a different part of the palate. BRAVO PRINCE OF GALLE!

We had a perfect time in this beautiful hotel. Great Rooms, welcoming and smiling faces, amazing chilling area with chess game and piano! Breakfast is good, you can find rice and curry just across the street. We will come back for sure, next time in Galle!

Could not recommend a stay at the Prince of Galle more. This boutique hotel offers aesthetic accommodation right in the heart of the town. The owners have created the perfect atmosphere by combining a lovely energy throughout the day, by running a trendy cafe on the main level, whilst retaining a tranquil and relaxing resident only upper level. You truly do feel like personal guests or friends of the family during your stay and can expect warmth from all the staff as well as excellent breakfasts included, not to mention the best iced coffees and tea in Galle. Thank you Prince of Galle! Be seeing you again someday soon x

The Prince of Galle is an unforgettable experience that I highly recommend. The service is excellent and the food is delicious. The view of the fort and the Indian Ocean are absolutely magnificent especially during sunset. The interior design of the room is simple yet elegant and an experience you don't usually get. The people are very friendly and welcoming, I highly recommend to stay here.

Prince of Galle, what a great place!! The staff are amazing, the breakfast is absolutely out of this world and the whole building is stunning. Even if you don’t stay here you must visit just to see it’s beauty. Our room at first glance was a bit small, but it had a whole lot of character. The shower positioning was amazing however the water pressure was a bit on the low side. The room also doesn’t have a fridge or hair drier so this is why we gave 4 and not 5 stars.

Best boutique hotel you will find in Sri Lanka, a lot of thought has gone into how this place has been renovated and decorated. Period features and some upcycling has created a beautiful place. As you approach from the streets and see the Morris parked outside till you lane it up to the top floor to the King's room, the best room in the property, you keep seeing amazing touches. A plunge pool called The Puddle and the hotel's very own fish spa is nice to spend time in whilst you sip on their delicious Vietnamese influenced iced coffees. Staff were so welcoming, but Thilina was a gem of a guy, looked after us good and proper whilst the Curfew was in place. Even if you don't stay, pop in and check this out. You won't regret it.

Next time you walk past the hotel and stop to take a picture. I would recommend to go inside and book one of the six rooms! Fantastic atmosphere, friendly staff, and breakfast you won't forget (especially the coffee). Nice and tidy rooms. Would highly recommend this hotel.

Was just there for a tea and an iced tea (which is indeed one of the best) and we really enjoyed the stay. The staff is super friendly and honest, you can see quality all around. Perfect service starts with taking care of people and even look for the details. They mad everything right. Next time in Galle we have to try out the rooms and stay overnight!

Best iced tea ever tasted! They claim to make the best iced teas and while we can't confirm that, I can honestly they were the best homemade ice teas we ever tasted. The place is very quaint and worth taking a break at just to admire. The staff was very friendly too.

We stayed in Prince of Galle last spring and it was an exceptional experience. The owner and staff were incredibly kind. We had the opportunity to stay in the suite which was just so beautiful and unique, fresh flowers, beautiful products, all in the details. The long island iced teas are legendary. A little gem. Thank you to the owner for allowing us to have an exceptional last night on our Sri Lankan adventure.

Fancy style, great iced coffee, uncomfortable vibes! Very clean and stylish place with a welcoming cool climate, which offers an opportunity to relax after taking a walk in the hot sun of Galle. It is strictly organized by a very kind (towards guests) but determined (even harsh towards staff) manager. Iced coffee was great! However, slightly uncomfortable vibes in the air. Would come back for coffee, wouldn’t want to stay in the hotel.

We absolutely loved our stay at this unique and historic hotel and wished we could have stayed longer. The staff couldn’t have been kinder or more attentive and the decor and atmosphere is exceptional. We stayed in the upstairs Kings room and really enjoyed the beautiful piano playing in the evening. I particularly enjoyed the tea and coffee placed outside our room on the little balcony early in the morning. The breakfast was unbelievably good - every morsel was delicious and I am so glad that I took photos! Thank you so much for a memorable experience!

Had to wait for service as only one staff member serving. Then after deciding and trying to place our order we were advised that there was no alcohol so we couldn't have a drink that was on the menu. Looked nice but we didn't stay.

You will feel that you are in Dutch era... Beautiful ambience... Spend at least hour or two with different tea options to offer

Absolutely the best place to stay in Galle. Great staff, clean and comfortable rooms. Excellent location. The most amazing breakfast would go back just for the French toast and fruit platter. Don’t miss this place when you visit Galle.

Amazing. Great place!

Exceptional. Without a doubt the best café I've ever visited worldwide. Beautiful historic interior, calming ambience, friendly staff and delicious drinks. This place has it all. Highly recommended!
