    Excellent property conveniently located inside the Galle Fort. Rooms and washrooms were very clean and neat. The Manager and the staff were very friendly and addressed all our needs. Breakfast was well worth the money as the food served with a superb spread was very tasty. Thank you Mrs.Wijenayake for your impeccable hospitality. We'll be back if I ever happen to come to Galle Fort again.

    Good value for the money and room is clean and well maintained. In terms of location perfect for the people who likes to enjoy Galle Fort. Very convenience to visit the key areas in galle fort specially for Fort Rampart and beaches. Owners are very flexible and they agreed to fulfil our demand as well. Can excess the room even in the midnight, because they provide the key of main entrance door along with the room key. Highly recommended for Galle fort and beach lovers....

  • 4/5 Mary B. 1 year ago on Google
    The location of this small hotel is the top feature. Inspite of the name, it is not on the beach, and there is really not much beach in Galle Fort anyway. But staying overnight in Galle Fort is a terrific way to experience it, where there are the historic ramparts, sunrise and sunset views, museums, old churches and interesting restaurants all within a few blocks. The amenities provided by this Guest House are above average, including a common area where you can make a secluded early cup of tea if you are an introverted morning lark like me, or socialize with other guests if you are a night owl extrovert (unlike me). Breakfast was exceptional, although not available before about 7:30 (which I've come to learn is typical of these establishments). The room was good - an older building that has been maintained & repaired to be in good working order, dresser, writing desk and chair, and has a roomy bathroom. To be honest, I didn't spend much time in the room, but was out and about except when sleeping and so on. The only negative is that the service does not have a "homestay" feel to it, it is more like hotel employees (but good and attentive ones).

  • 5/5 Anton U. 1 year ago on Google
    It's the best place to enjoy Galle Fort! All my respect to team working there as they created really authentic, friendly and comfortable environment for tourists. Rooms are clean, staff will help you with almost everything. Breakfast is huge! Actually, I've seen a lot of people who came to stay just for couple of nights and stayed for longer period. Just as we did. Madam Shiromi, Kalida, Fauzan and all, thank you very much for your hospitality and all the help! We would love to visit you again if we come to Sri Lanka. xoxo from Ukraine, Anton and Oksana

    Excellent on location, cleanliness and facilities. Owner and staff extremely helpful and kind. Was given a choice of 2 rooms when I arrived and to pick which one I liked the most, which I think is a nice touch. Would definitely stay again if I was in Galle.

  • 5/5 Namila B. 1 year ago on Google
    A great affordable place with clean rooms. The staff was supportive. You can use the common kitchen space. Quiet space with no annoying sounds. The room and the washroom were super clean. The only negative thing was the online booking site price is a bit different from the onsite price. Overall, a highly recommended place for anyone who loves clean affordable rooms in Galle.

    Basically the only nice thing about this place was the AC.. Water was leaking from the roof. When I woke up the next morning, the floor of the room was completely covered in water.. There were no clean towals.... Not a pleasant experience..

😠 They ask you to pay for the exchange rate on that specific day but not what was mentioned in booking.com. This was not informed on arrival and so ended up paying about 10% more. The stay was otherwise ok but because of this, I would not recommend.
