Best Galle Hotels

"This is the hotel I stayed for the last night in Sri Lanka. The boss service is very good, but the interior decoration is average, the bath has no hot water, it is cold to death, and mosquitoes. I was awakened by mosquitoes at night. The outside environment is very good. Walk for 5 minutes. I went to the vegetable market and cooked some noodles by myself. Those who are not very demanding can choose to stay. By the way, the breakfast is very good, but I only ate a little."

"I upgraded the room to the store, two beds, and it cost $28. This time I stayed at three hotels that paid for the store, which are one or two hundred higher than the online price, and it is better to pay the online payment. B&B is generally not good, but it is more appropriate to bargain in the off-season. This hotel is the most expensive hotel I have stayed in for the past few days. It costs 1100 RMB a night. It is more expensive than Marriott and the Heritage Hotel. The bathing water in the room is not hot. I don’t know if it is expensive in the ancient city."

"Host are very friendly family. Its a huge villa and you feel like staying at home with a family/ friends."

"It's very close to the beach, but it's a bit difficult to drive in because the road is small. The boss is a very enthusiastic old man. The breakfast included the next morning was very rich. The old man kept adding food for us because he was afraid that we were not full. He also chatted with us and was a kind person. The store is not big, and there are only us and a European family. The only thing I think is not good is that it uses an electric water heater, so the hot water for bathing is limited, and it can't be unlimited hot water like at home."

"Departed for Sri Lanka on September 28, 2023, and checked into the Amangalla Hotel in Galle Fort. It was the sixth Aman hotel to check in. It felt great. Amangalla was built in the 17th century. It was formerly a military command in the Netherlands. It later became the first hotel in Sri Lanka. It was acquired by the Aman Group in 1995. The hotel is not big, but it is well-equipped with swimming pools, massage pools, yoga rooms, etc. , you can experience local shaving services and foot massages. Amangalla is the smallest Aman I have ever stayed in. It is in the middle of the ancient city of Galle and a 10-minute walk from the lighthouse. The surrounding area is very convenient for eating, drinking and entertainment. There is the Tuna and the Crab restaurant, which is a brother restaurant of the one-Michelin-star restaurant in Colombo. If you have enough money, you can try it. Be sure to choose his tea plantation tour, which will also take you to see the sea turtle hatching base and stilt fishing. It was very interesting. Although I fell off and stepped on a rock while fishing on stilts and was injured, I gained interesting photos and a rare life experience. The ancient city of Galle is also worth visiting. Amangalla can arrange cars and tour guides. The hotel is right in the center of the ancient city. The location is good and it is very convenient to go everywhere. Although I fell into the sea while fishing on stilts and cut my feet. All in all, it was still a very interesting experience. The two Amans in Sri Lanka are different from the ones we stayed in before. They are far away from Colombo and do not provide free airport pick-up services. The airport pick-up fee for the five of us was about US$400 in a large amanganla. It should be noted that if two Aman activities are booked for consecutive days, they generally need to be booked from the official website, not Ctrip agents."

"The hotel property is very good. but it is Little dated. Staff is very accommodating "

"We booked this villa for 4 nights. Two rooms on the first floor. There are two more rooms on the second. The third floor houses a restaurant. We got great aesthetic pleasure from the location and layout. Everything is done wisely. The territory is not large, but very cozy, with a beautiful terrace and lawn, turning into a jungle with a pond. The hotel is managed and serviced by a wonderful family. Very kind and helpful people. At our request, they organized two evenings with seafood barbecue for us. Monkeys, peacocks, and other birds pleased us with their visit - they added exoticism. We did not want to leave. And when our hotel reservation in Negombo was cancelled, we were happy to extend our stay here for another two days. The sea is nearby, but not very suitable for swimming. We went by bus or taxi to the beaches of Unawatuna for about 10 minutes. We really liked Jungle Beach. We definitely recommend it."

"Very friendly host and his staff. The location is good. A really beautiful villa with all amenities. The best breakfast we had in Sri Lanka (we had 9 hotels). The pool is amazing. The hotel staff swept and cleaned the area every day. But the floor in the room was a bit dusty. Slow breakfast service. My advice is to serve breakfast indoors so that the guests are not bitten by mosquitoes. Thank you so much for your hospitality! I definitely recommend this villa to all travelers."

"Really enjoyed my stay at fort bazaar. The staff were very friendly and attentive. Due to the rainy weather down south I changed my plans to go to Tangalle and stay a couple of extra days at Fort Bazaar and enjoyed the spa and walking around Galle. I was a solo traveler and felt safe and comfortable there. Definitely somewhere I would consider to stay again"
