Excellent Hotel
Extremely comfortable stay. The breakfast was the best I had in Sri Lanka by a mile, But it was the excellent customer service that stood out. Everyone was excellent and went out of their way to help me. I recommend most highly.

Decent stay
Close enough to the fort and the free tuktuk to is useful. Room is well presented and fairly clean. You do get the odd whiff from the municipal dump round the corner though.

The property could do with a little overhaul, but the pool though small is under the cover of glorious trees and that makes a cool dip which is a delight. There are pool chairs also in the shade as well as others in the full sunshine. When the temperature exceeds 30 degrees. The nearby beach is not worth swimming in. Far too much pollution. Push bikes can be hired at Galle fort and it is flat for riding.

Hotel was perfect distance from Galle Fort and a free tuk tuk service was offered to the town. Breakfast was great with lots of options! The pool was quite dirty so we didn't use this - a cleaner pool would have made this hotel much better! We had a 'Dream Face' room which was located behind the reception desk area and had a small outdoor area with no view at all. We would have requested an 'Air' or 'Water' room in advance (both facing onto the pool) had we known. The room itself was nice however, well decorated and had a good shower. Hotel staff couldn't be faulted, they were all very friendly and were happy to help at all times of the day!

The hotel is situated about a 20 minute walk from centre of Galle. It is relatively new so the facilities are excellent. The staff are all very welcoming and always have a smile on their faces. The food at the hotel is excellent and reasonably priced. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay and can recommend it.

Small hotel. Location is a bit off, but takes a few minutes by tuk tuk from Galle Central Station. Staff is very friendly and service minded. They do everything in their power to make you feel comfortable.
