Wow ..one of the better places we have been over the years literally around the world. And especially in Sri Lanka. Hence starts with a super refreshing fresh welcomr juice you can chose from the menu yourself. Check in fast and earlier possible than the official check in time. Whole hotel new and with a pretty classy design. Also infrastructure bat a rather very high level. Very cosy rooms with a super bathroom. The staff really extremely friendly, fast and helpful. Especially to be mentionned Amien at the reception. The breakfast simply delicious with good cafe or tea included (not always the case in Sri Lanka). Yet almost too much since two big rounds based on your menu preferences 🤪. Also the dinner delicious for a bit higher price (yet better food than a highly rated restaurant closeby). Super well located in the very center in Galle fort yet rooms all silent (on the other side of the road try tonic spa..very qualitative spa rooms and charmy colonial infrastructure with excellent massage for a fair price). Even so over 150 usd the night..its great value for money👍. Definitely a place to stay☺️!

Relaxing, Immaculate, comfortable and remote enough to give the sense of being in the trees whilst still being near the coast. The staff were amazing, the food extremely tasty and will certainly visit again. The bedrooms were spacious, bathroom lush with great water pressure.

Ceylon Olive Galle

Hotel in Galle

Ceylon Olive is a colonial-style villa located 2.8 km from Galle Fort and 4 km from Unawatuna Beach. It offers open air bath, free parking and WiFi.

P
PRERNA
From

We recently stayed two nights at Ceylon Olive and overall, it was a wonderful experience. The cleanliness of the property was impeccable, and the location was perfect — close to key attractions yet tucked away in a peaceful area, making it the ideal retreat. The property itself was charming, with a lovely pool and a small garden that added a serene touch to the environment. One of my favorite parts was having breakfast served on the balcony — a truly relaxing start to the day, surrounded by nature. However, I should mention that the property has stairs, which may not be ideal for senior citizens. It did pose some difficulty for the older members of our group, as there was no elevator, making it less senior-friendly. This was more so since it rained making the stairs slippery. That said, the host was incredibly accommodating, always available to help and make sure we had everything we needed. I’d recommend this property to anyone looking for a peaceful and beautiful stay in Galle, as long as they are aware of the stairs.

This is a quaint and charming building located within Galle fort. The hotel exudes a strong heritage character and offers a beautifully designed space. I particularly enjoyed the iced tea served upon arrival, and the breakfast was exceptional. The hotel is conveniently within walking distance of numerous shops and restaurants, yet it remains secluded enough to ensure a peaceful night's rest. Also love the music playlist of the hotel :)

This exquisite boutique hotel was beyond our expectations. We stayed in the rice paddy room which was absolutely beautiful. The breakfast was delicious and a tuk tuk was easily arranged into Galle. We will most definitely stay here when we return.

    The Galle Fort in Galle is my absolute favorite place — it has a vibe of its own. It’s completely safe at any time of the day, even for solo travelers. There’s so much history within the Fort walls to learn about and beautiful architecture to explore. The hosts at the restaurants and hotels inside the Fort are amazing, and the service is truly of international standard. The view of the Indian Ocean from the Ramparts is simply breathtaking. There are plenty of restaurants offering a wide variety of cuisines and dishes to try. Outside the Fort, I highly recommend visiting the beaches at Unawatuna, just a few kilometers from Galle City Centre. While you’re there, don’t miss the Japanese Peace Pagoda at Rumassala — you won’t regret it! Yaddehimulla Road in Unawatuna has everything from surf schools and restaurants to gem shops, gelato spots, international cuisines, and everything in between. For quick bites and essentials, SPAR Supermarket at Galle City Centre is your go-to place. You’ll find tasty rice and curry meals, ready-to-eat options, mosquito repellent, basic medical supplies, snacks, good-quality fruits, and other everyday necessities.

    If you're going to Galle, stay inside the Fort. Lots of charming little villas and boutique hotels where you can drop your bags and go walkabout, soaking in the colonial charm and enjoying the relaxed vibe. Great food options, live music and incredible sunsets.

    The vibe that Galle fort shares during anytime of the day is marvelous. It is a super child friendly place with amazing shops and places at every corner. It has the ambience of a unique blend between antiquity and modernity filled with aesthetic taste of rich culture and art. Seems its potential is still untapped fully. Loved the eateries and little cafes designed with elegance and charm. It showcases the serenity of a typical European port city with Dutch colonial architecture.

    We originally had one full day planned at Galle but we ended up being there for longer. We didn't need to be there any longer than one day. The walk around the Fort was lovely but there were not really many good shops to see and it was a little touristy in the Fort. Unfortunately they still let cars and motorbikes and Tuk Tuks in the street of the Fort which was difficult to navigate. Not really much to do in Galle except for the Fort.

    The hotel is in a small jungle. The location is super, within walking distance (around 20min) both to Wijaya beach and to the bus station (to Galle). You can also walk to several supermarkets and seafood restaurants. The breakfast is tasty, they have fresh fruits, eggs, bread with butter and jam, coffee and tea. The time when we arrived, we had welcome drink from Andrey. He is very friendly and offered us tipps traveling in and around Uwanatuna. We will definitely come back when we visit Sri Lanka again. Thank you very much, Andrey!

    We cannot enough stress how much we loved staying with at this hotel. Indika is a fantastic host, he cooks the best fish, and really makes you feel at home. The location is amazing and the whole family loved it. It is 4 inutes from a turtle farm, 4 minutes from elephant riding and 20 min from Galle and really fun surfing. It is really REALLY good value from money. Would def go back next time I come to Sri Lanka,

    I have experience an amazing hospitality from all the staff members ! The room was large and confortable, with a beautiful view over the city. The hotel is located in a peaceful area, few minutes away from the city center, train station, bus center, and the beautiful Fort of Galle. You can find many comodities around, restaurants and supermarket, otherwise the hotel can cook delicious Sri Lankan cuisine too.

    Don't look any further - this is by far the best guesthouse / hotel we stayed at during our holiday. Run by a very kind and hospitable Sri Lankan man with an Italian history, a lover of his 9 friendly cats, we enjoyed every minute of our stay. Bed was comfortable, great shower, excellent generous breakfast and all staff were utterly friendly and nice to us. Will be back next time I visit Galle!

The breakfast is very nice and you can choose between many options (its Sri Lankan breakfast, but they offer also omelettes, fruits, curd .. ) Also the guys there are very helpful and nice.
