Amazing views and service
Whilst the hotel is a little tired and need of a makeover, it is great value for money. The included breakfast was excellent and we had dinner there 2 nights, it was good and not expensive. The staff are excellent and always ready to please. The rooms are fair, the beds are actually quite comfortable and mosquito nets and air con are provided. The balcony views are amazing and the pool is perfectly situated over the cliff. We could hang around here all day and not bother to leave. A great location for surfers and you can paddle straight into the ocean from the hotel. The surf was small and would suits beginners. There is a surf school on the beach nearby. It is just a quick tuktuk ride into Galle to explore the beautiful fort and historical sites. Highly recommend if your not too fussy.

Lovely and welcoming staff, very friendly and caring towards my family and I. The Sri Lankan breakfasts were delicious and we always had more than enough food. We loved the fact that the hotel had such history and had been in one family for so long. The location was great and we were able to either walk down to the main road for transport or easily get a tuk tuk from the hotel. Their tour guide Dilip was absolutely fantastic in giving us information and helping us to get the most out of our stay.

The location of the hotel is superb. It’s very close to the fort and the views from the room are absolutely incredible. But the rooms are very basic and need maintenance. Also, the pool has not been cleaned in months and could really use some up keep.

Nice colonial style hotel
Great location close to Galle town. The hotel is at the tip of Galle bay with water all around. The room was clean and comfortable with a great view of the bay. No TV (no need really) and hair dryer (no need really) Breakfast was included but nothing to speak of. A few pieces of toast and an omelette with nothing inside.

Not what I expected
The hotel is old which is fine and I actually appreciate that, but it’s not as clean as it should be and everything in my room doesn’t work. When I got to my room I automatically wanted to leave and go somewhere else. It didn’t feel comfortable. The fridge looks so dirty and the tub had a black ring at the bottom which made me very uncomfortable (I wore slippers to take a shower). Although there is a nice view by the beach and the staff was very kind I do think this hotel needs to step things up and do way better with cleaning the place. The bed was also super hard which made the stay uncomfortable. I only stayed at this hotel for one night and I wouldn’t recommend it.

nice loc. Badly maintained
Beautiful colonial architecture and great location with excellent view. But lacks maintainence of the whole area, not clean and bad food. The place need to be renovated and cleaned. Too pricy for what you get.
