Ive just returned from the most enjoyable stay in Galle at the Sun House. The staff and accommodation was everything that I was looking for. The hotel has recently been refurbished with the greatest respect to all the original features of the building and it just hit the spot. Delightful and helpful staff which made my stay.

The family room is lovely. It’s spacious, it is quiet at night, the decor is really nice. The food is amazing- especially the french breakfast. The location could not be better. The staff were all lovely, the owners of course, but it was the housekeeper who stole our heart with how sweet she was with our baby. We will never stay anywhere else if we come back to the fort. If you are coming to Galle Fort, you will not be disappointed with your stay at Le Jardin du Fort.

Staying inside the fort area, that too in a restored property from the 18th century, it was an unbelievable experience. Beautiful location, gorgeous views. The staff are the nicest, kindest people I have met - they arranged everything! Starting from a bike rental to a packed breakfast at 5AM in the morning - they did it all with a smile!

Plenty to do in Galle, well worth visiting.

Plenty to do in Galle, well worth visiting. Just DON’T use the White Queen, as the manager will make it very difficult for you to get any redress if there’s a problem (I was charged for a five night stay instead of Four, and only realised after payment had been taken-silly me!) Enjoy your stay, just elsewhere in Galle.

Absolutely filthy city.

Absolutely filthy city. Litter everywhere, all around the fort was dirty and had rubbish , plastic waste and broken bottles strewn around and piled up in bags. They should revoke the UNESCO rating for the fort so the government clean it up. It was months of rubbish or like a field after a festival and not just rubbish after a weekend. There were just a few rubbish bins around the ramparts but they were overflowing and broken By far the dirtiest city we have visited in Sri Lanka

The Galle Fort in Galle is my absolute favorite place — it has a vibe of its own. It’s completely safe at any time of the day, even for solo travelers. There’s so much history within the Fort walls to learn about and beautiful architecture to explore. The hosts at the restaurants and hotels inside the Fort are amazing, and the service is truly of international standard. The view of the Indian Ocean from the Ramparts is simply breathtaking. There are plenty of restaurants offering a wide variety of cuisines and dishes to try. Outside the Fort, I highly recommend visiting the beaches at Unawatuna, just a few kilometers from Galle City Centre. While you’re there, don’t miss the Japanese Peace Pagoda at Rumassala — you won’t regret it! Yaddehimulla Road in Unawatuna has everything from surf schools and restaurants to gem shops, gelato spots, international cuisines, and everything in between. For quick bites and essentials, SPAR Supermarket at Galle City Centre is your go-to place. You’ll find tasty rice and curry meals, ready-to-eat options, mosquito repellent, basic medical supplies, snacks, good-quality fruits, and other everyday necessities.

If you're going to Galle, stay inside the Fort. Lots of charming little villas and boutique hotels where you can drop your bags and go walkabout, soaking in the colonial charm and enjoying the relaxed vibe. Great food options, live music and incredible sunsets.

The vibe that Galle fort shares during anytime of the day is marvelous. It is a super child friendly place with amazing shops and places at every corner. It has the ambience of a unique blend between antiquity and modernity filled with aesthetic taste of rich culture and art. Seems its potential is still untapped fully. Loved the eateries and little cafes designed with elegance and charm. It showcases the serenity of a typical European port city with Dutch colonial architecture.

The hotel is in a small jungle. The location is super, within walking distance (around 20min) both to Wijaya beach and to the bus station (to Galle). You can also walk to several supermarkets and seafood restaurants. The breakfast is tasty, they have fresh fruits, eggs, bread with butter and jam, coffee and tea. The time when we arrived, we had welcome drink from Andrey. He is very friendly and offered us tipps traveling in and around Uwanatuna. We will definitely come back when we visit Sri Lanka again. Thank you very much, Andrey!

Everything was great. Lovely rooms. Immaculate, clean, and comfortable; one of the nicest rooms, if not the nicest room, we stayed in throughout our trip to Sri Lanka. Galle Fort is so small that this hotel is easily accessible from even the other side of the fort. The staff were great. The cold towels on arrival were a great idea, along with the fruit juice. The staff gave us filtered water throughout our stay and were happy to replenish whenever we requested.

Perfect for relaxing. The view from the hotel was amazing. We had the suite, and it was the right choice. Exceptional with the pool and the view. Nature all around you. You can see monkeys in the morning and evening. (Being your binoculars) The staff was super friendly and helpful whenever needed. The sri lankan breakfast was very yummy. Even though remotely in the nature if you want to go to galle it is still only 20 min by TukTuk or 5 min to the beach.

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.
