We had a really wonderful stay at Silver Rail. The room was very big and very comfortable. The family who runs it was so welcoming, they offered us tea and a delicious breakfast. They even showed us how to make the pancakes we loved so that we can try to make them at home later 😋The location was good, we could walk to the Fort everyday. Thank you so much for your hospitality! :)

From the moment we entered the sunset cabana, I felt the tranqility of this place.I have no hesitation in recommending this place.The owner chathu and his family were very friendly. We felt like family form the moment we arrived.we book in the Small room, but the other room was not booked that day,so we were given that room ,the wood finish in that room is very beautiful. That room is very amazing. Very comfortable .This was the best breakfast i had in sri lanka .we also got dinner from them it was very interesting. From here you can reach galle in 10 minutes .If i am in galle when i return to sri lanka this will undoubtedly be my first choice of accommodation.The hugs on our way out were a delight to our hearts . I would 100% recommend this.

I recently stayed at the Nirosha Guest House and had a wonderful experience. The hotel offers incredibly affordable rates per night, making it a great choice for budget-conscious travelers. Despite the low cost, the quality of service and amenities exceeded my expectations. One of the highlights of my stay was the clean swimming pool.

I had a lovely stay at 4ty two Homestay ! We spent one night in the budget double room which didn’t feel ‘budget’ at all and was super comfortable with a massive bed, AC and a ceiling fan and a balcony. There is no en suite but a bathroom one floor down to use. The hosts were so friendly and willing to help with everything and they even helped us organise the bus trip to the airport for no extra charge. The location is great about 10/15 minute walk to the train or bus station and to the Fort. Can’t recommend enough !!

Perfect location if you want to have sea and beach a few meters away. Saman and his family were really friendly and helpful and took good care of us. Prepared delicious breakfast to start the day. Room was very clean, had a roof fan, A/C, and hot water. Beach chairs outside, as well as outside shower to wash the sea salt off 😄

Best host of Sri Lanka easily. He really wanted us to have good time as well as organized a taxi to airport. Was amazing to fall asleep listening sounds of the waves. And to add, pressure of the shower was best we have had. Food too was very tasty!

    Orchard House is a gem in Galle Fort. It has a beautiful, lush garden courtyard and breakfast/seating area, and a pool with loungers for when the heat becomes too much. The staff are absolutely excellent - nothing is too much trouble, at any time of day. The place is furnished like a private home and we felt extremely relaxed and at home here.
