Had a great two night stay here. The rooms were comfortable and clean and the inside area has a beautiful little garden where you sit for breakfast. There are only a few rooms, so it's also nice and quiet. The staff are super kind and helpful and they make a great Sri Lankan breakfast :) Final point - it's located in the middle of the historic part of Galle... so super convenient!

Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I recently had the pleasure of staying at The Merchant Hotel in Galle Fort, and it surpassed all my expectations. The staff was incredibly kind and helpful, offering complimentary delicious fruit snacks and fresh juices each night. The cosy and comfortable atmosphere added to the overall enjoyment, and the hotel's central location made it convenient to explore the fort and nearby beach. I can't express enough how satisfied I was with my stay. Thank you, Merchant Hotel, for creating the best memory of my Sri Lankan trip. Highly recommended!

Galle Fort

This Dutch colonial fort is Galle’s most popular attraction, and for good reason – a stroll along this UNESCO World Heritage Site showcases streets brimming with old-time charm and stunning sea views. It takes an hour or two to walk along the fort, with plenty of opportunities to stop at cafés, museums and shops along the way.

    Lovely but quite a touristy trap.

    Lovely but quite a touristy trap. The exorbitantly priced food was what I was aghast about. About 5 to 10 times more expensive than most restaurants and eateries elsewhere in Sri Lanka. Also, most eateries were not as clean as in the rest of SL. The town is great to walk through but lack of fairly priced eateries with good food is a clear deterrant.

    Serendipitous is a great word to describe this place.

    Serendipitous is a great word to describe this place. There's aways something pleasantly surprising around the corner. Be it an influencer trying to get a good shot without the crowds or families walking the ramparts.

    The staff was welcoming, helpful, and friendly. The hotel is located in a prime spot—just a short walk from the Galle Clock Tower, popular restaurants, museums, the lighthouse, and even bathing spots. Galle Fort is a stunning location in Sri Lanka, and staying here gave us easy access to everything it has to offer. Breakfast was a simple yet satisfying English breakfast, served with a fresh fruit platter and coffee. And all of this came at a very reasonable rate. Until we meet again, Thank you, Sunset Fort Galle!

    Really stunning property in Galle Fort - maybe the fanciest place I've stayed in Sri Lanka, it felt like a 5-star hotel. Clean, modern, comfortable room with really nice furnishings. The rooms look out over a beautiful garden/courtyard. The breakfast was also delicious! This place is on the pricier side but definitely worth it.

    One of the best hotels we’ve ever stayed at! Wonderful staff, stunning property and beautiful clean rooms - we stayed in one of the villas as a family of 4 and were so comfortable. Breakfast was delicious, esp the Sri Lankan one. Less than 10 min drive to Galle Fort and we also enjoyed going to the Turtle Sanctuary nearby. We loved our stay so much we went back for another night at the end of our trip. Will be recommending to anyone we know going to Sri Lanka.

    We chose this hotel because it seemed a nice place to recover from our long flight. We were not disappointed! We had a room with a lovely patio/balconny and we really enjoyed the pool and garden. The room was huge and looked great. Same goes for the bathroom. We loved the whole set-up. Sri Lankan breakfast was great too. Egg hoppers and fruit! The hotel arranged airport transport for us as well as a great tuktuk driver at competive prices. Galle fort was a bit of a walk. But then again, we knew a great tuktuk driver.

    Clean and spacious apartment. Air conditioning was very good. Good location in a residential area. It’s a bit away from Galle fort but can be easily accessed (2 km walk or short ride by tuk tuk). The host Mr Renuka was very kind to offer a Sri Lankan breakfast and was very helpful in providing advise and arranging of transportation. Overall, a pleasant experience.

    Amazing value for money! It’s a very comfortable hostel, with a huge hang out area with a kitchen, and only a few minutes away by Tuktuk or bus from Galle Fort. The bed has little privacy and can get a bit hot at night, but the net and the fan on the bed kind of solves these issues. The showers are one of the best I had in Sri Lanka, and the staff is very friendly and helpful. Even though I only stayed one night, they allowed me to keep my stuff here and use the bathroom, which was very convenient. Really recommend!

The breakfast was a Sri Lankan breakfast which was good. Highly recommend the hotel, it definitely has the Galle fort charm. Room great size.
