The Sun House Hotel

“It’s a long journey for sure taking us just under 24 hrs but when met with an ice cold towel and a refreshing pineapple cocktail we just knew we were in for a treat. We stayed in the Cinamon suite mainly because we read the Conde Nast review which stated that this room was one of the best on the”

“The Sun house is by far the best place I have ever stayed. The gardens are just stunning with frangipani trees and dropping flowers everywhere and a lovely sparkling secluded pool. We had some of the best food in the whole of Sri Lanka here with very imaginative recipes. The staff could not be more helpful or happy and there”

“The Sun House in Galle is fantastic a short walk from the old fort but hidden away enough for privacy. Our suite even had an outdoor bathroom! It is the perfect place romantic getaway- peaceful beautiful and charming. The staff- including manager Henri are completely fantastic! Compliments definately go to the chef- each meal was perfection! We loved our stay”

“Just back from a honeymoon week in Galle Sri Lanka. We stayed the whole week at the Sun House in Galle. It was wonderful. The hotel was a tropical sanctuary the food was divine and the staff couldn’t have done more to make our stay a happy and content one with charming service helpful local recommendations and a sense of”

“Just returned from Sri Lanka and must say out of 5-6 fantastic hotels the Sun house is the one I’d most like to go back to. The location staff Henri the manager and Galle’s atmosphere give it the edge over some pretty stiff competition. However having read the other reviews below its true to say no place is perfect; but”

“The Sunhouse in Galle is a truly wonderful experience. The friendly staff are really there for you but not overbearing. The rooms are simply lovely and the food is exceptional. The hotel has terrific management and they try so hard to fill your every need. As a seasoned traveller who mixes up luxury and budget this hotel while not budget “

“I really liked the Sun House. It has all of the basics – it’s clean lovely pool a very interesting library (books and dvds) free wireless which is a bonus and the assistance is fantastic. Especially the travel tips. More importantly however the vibe is friendly but if you want to curl up on a sofa but not be in”

“This is a pretty little boutique hotel–the rooms are nice and the pool and the main lounge are comfortable–but the staff is mostly at a loss andthe food is just so-so. more “

“My wife and I stayed three nights at the Sun House over the New Year holiday. On the second day of our stay I realised that my mobile (cell) phone was missing and I have good reason to believe it had been taken from our room the previous evening while we were having dinner in the hotel restaurant. It’s highly”

“prior to arriving i was a little perturbed as we wanted to arrange a late check out and have a shower at the hotel about 5pm prior to getting a 4 hour taxi to the airport. unfortunately we had to pay for a full night the price of which had been inflated for christmas and the cricket. despite this and”

The Dutch House Hotel

“We moved across fro the Sun House part of the same group of hotels and still managed by Henri and her team. Whilst a different experience we were greatly impressed by the continuing theme of discreet yet friendly service the unabashed luxury and the peace of the infinity pool. We stayed in the master suite with it’s high ceiling and”

“This is the most extraordinary hotel in which I have ever stayed. For a start it seems nothing like a hotel just a gracious and luxurious private residence. Doornberg is an authentic Dutch house dating from 1712 but was remodelled recently by the visionary Mary McIntyre (now running a spa in Perth.) It is sister with the Sun House Taprobane”

The Fortress Hotel

“The next time you stay at this hotel just watch the faces of the new people arriving. After the 4 hour transfer from Colombo everyone including us has this look of amazment. And there is a good reason. This has to be one of the best hotels in the world it is truly wonderful. From the fantastic rooms do the”

“My boyfriend and I have just returned from a week’s holiday to the Fortress and absolutely loved every minute of it. It is a 4 hour drive from the airport (5 if you are unlucky to be going at rush hour through Colombo) but worth it. The hotel is exquisite arriving at the impressive entrance to be greeted by cheerful”

“Totally separated from the outside like a paradise. very modern room deluxe spa and well trained staff. more “

“Fortress is an amazing hotel in Sri Lanka… Price wise its high comparing to others but every penny you spend will be worth it… the spa treatment is fantastic…. I recommend this hotel to anyone who visits Sri Lanka more “

“We stayed and got married at the fortress in April 09 for one week before moving on to the maldives with our 2 young boys of 1 and 5. The staff were wonderful from the moment we arrived in Sri Lanka when the most helpful man Pamoda collected us from the Airport and helped us with our luggage and”

“Stunning building 10 minutes from Unawatuna. Very friendly staff good food (esp wednesday sri lankan buffet breakfasts & believe it or not wood fired pizzas!) Wonderful pool next to the ocean (coast rocky with big surf so not really ideal for a dip) Ocean rooms fab with large beds well furnished and balcony. Why not 5 stars? – Hit and”

“We are Sri Lankans living abroad. We married about an year ago and we had our honeymoon in Kandalama hotel and Vil Uyana. This time we wanted to go somewhere different for our first anniversary. Galle was an obvious choice for us for several reasons. I looked in Lighthouse hotel and this one. Although the Fortress was pricey compared to”

“Having known little about this hotel other than having been recommended by our travel agent the journey to the hotel we felt we may have made a big mistake as the journey is arduous (during the day). However the moment you enter the hotel through the fortress gates and meet the staff for the first time this all changed we”

“Fortess is a second home for us! We stayed there for almost a month as my husband used to work in a factory nearby as a consultant. We have hardly seen such warm and cozy ethnic Srilankan beauty anywhere.Rooms are extremely well furnished with all modern amenities incuding Jacuzzie plazma TV and 24×7 free wi-fi ! The beach is at”

“I cannot say much more than the others who have given this hotel 5 out of 5. This hotel is simply lovely and the staff so so kind lovely people. If you get a chance to go to Sri Lanka stay here!! We were there 19/3/09 for a week on our honeymoon and it was perfect! more “

Rampart View Hotel

“Small but serene – that is what I would say in short and sweet. Even though this hotel is small the rooms are clean and simple and the view facing the ocean is excellent. Sunset and sunrise are the best time to watch the seaview and the hotel’s location is rather convenient as it is close and walking distance to”

“The room we stayed in was very basic. AC mosquito net bathroom with barely hot shower. But the balcony outside the room was great. It provided a view directly onto the ramparts (hence the name of the hotel) and the sea and sunset. The breakfast is provided on the balcony and is plentiful. The location within the Fort was very”

Lady Hill Hotel Holiday Reviews

Lady Hill Hotel

“Why this is not listed as Galle is beyond me. I have stayed at the Lady Hill every year for a week or two since 2005. It is located up a short hill above the busy “new city” adjacent to a Buddhist center on a dead end road. The building is an expansion of an old colonial era house occupied”

“We stayed at Lady Hill for two nights on part of a wildlife tour of Sri Lanka. Downstairs the hotel looks lovely but it’s almost like they renovated the public areas and didn’t bother with the rooms! The bathroom had no ventilation and consequently smelt of drains for the entire stay. There was no hot water when we arrived but”

“OK so from my rooftop corner room with six panels of windows I’m looking at a beautiful vista — lush green jungle the ocean red roof shingles palm trees mountains covered in forests and in a hazing gray on the horizon. There’s nothing like ordering a hot pot of coffee in the morning and enjoying this view quietly. That’s the”

“We stayed here for 9 nights and the rooms are very basic but the staff are very friendly and cannot do enough for you. The views in the rooftop bar are great and the barman is very helpful and friendly. We enjoyed our stay but had a very unfortunate experience with the hotel room safe – our money went missing…. “

“We found Lady Hill by chance having decided to go to the cricket at the last minute. The hotel was full but the manager vacated his room for us. You’d never get that service anywhere! The room was huge with wooded floors and ceiling in the original building. The breakfast was filling with as much tea/coffee toast and juice as”

“Execllent location overlooking the town of Galle. Rooms adequate staff really welcoming and helpful. Food was acceptable – they served us a western style table d’hote menu for dinner (french onion soup!) whcih is not what we went to Sri Lanka for however on our last night they produced an excellent curry etc. The view over the city from the”

“This is the second time that I’ve stayed at the Ladyhill Hotel and overall it is a great hotel – up a STEEP hill with amazing views lovely cool swimming pool friendly staff (too friendly in one case) and a welcoming manager – Mr Senaka. The location is outside of the town centre of Galle – which we felt was”

“This hotel is in a great location at the highest point in Galle with excellent views from the rooftop bar to the port and town. The rooms were OK clean enough but alll a bit tired. Staff were friendly. Make sure you tell them when you want your laundry back. The rates were reasonable. The restaurant had a limited menu “

Jetwing Lighthouse Hotel

“Our third trip to Sri Lanka over the years but our first to the wonderful Lighthouse Hotel. Having previously stayed at the Taj Exotica and The Eden hotel I would say the Lighthouse without doubt for me was my favourite. There were only two downsides to our visit the main being that we were both eaten alive by sandflies (the”

“Just back from the Lighthouse which we thought was wonderful. Wanted somewhere special for a big anniversary and it provided that for us. Got a cheap deal through Kuoni – don’t know about value for money if you pay the hotel’s standard prices. Rooms are elegant with wooden furniture and a spacious bathroom including shower and separate bath. All rooms”

“Amazing location! Amazing place! Amazing room – big and clean! View is superb! The food is too good…Grilled prawns are the best! People are nice… a must must must to stay there! would go there again and again and again. more “

“An ideal location next to the sea nice to sit and listen to the sea crashing against the rocks !!. We came to the light house primarily to go whale watching but unfortunately the sea was too rough but that gave us a good chance to relax and use the lovely big swimming pool. It certainly is a luxurious hotel”

“This hotel is gifted as it was designed by great Architech Geoffrey Bawa. Ethnic Srilankan Architechure blended with great sea view makes it a wonderful place to be. Food is not that good but breakfast is nice and great.A spa with a large poolside area adjacent to a private beach makes it a unique place. more “

“We stayed in The Lighthouse for 4 nights at the end of December and yet I’m writing this review 4 months after our stay such is the hold that this hotel has had over us! Friends from Sri Lanka & others who had visited recommended The Lighthouse even if it was just for a drink in the evening to watch”

“We stayed at the Lighthouse 10-21 January 2009. It was a truly wonderful experience! The downside to staying there was the long journey from Columbo airport which took 4 hours after an 8 hour flight from the UK. However when we arrived to the candlelit entrance all was forgotten. We would however in hindsight have organised a stay in a”

“Galle is a very small place on the southern tip of Sri Lanka. The Lighthouse is a nice place and is right on the beach. Teh road from Colombo to galle is also very picturesque. The property has beautiful rooms facing the sea with a balcony. The service is impeccable and the food above average. GThey serve continental and local”

“The reception at this hotel was not particularly welcoming we were shown to our room which was a bit of a trek from reception. We were not given any further information about the hotel or its amenities. The room was comfortable but the front door was not self locking tea coffee and drinking water were provided. Laundry was a bit”

Galle Fort Hotel

“I recently stayed at GFH for five nights and thought it was one of the very best hotel experiences I’ve ever had. It was really more like staying in someone’s beautiful exotic home than being in a hotel. The location is historic but very quiet inside the walls of Galle Fort but only a short tuk tuk ride to magnificent”

“If you get an opportunity to go to Sri Lanka there is only one place you should stay and that is the Galle Fort Hotel. I have travelled extensively in Asia and I demand very high standards but this hotel beats all expectations. I was exceptionally lucky as I had the Hotel to myself and I was treated like Royalty…. “

“You will be personaly greeted by the proprietor an amazing man with a passion for the hotel. A quality hotel with excellent service and excellent dining. Friendly cheerful staff attend to all your needs leaving you to relax swim roam explore the treasures of Galle Forte and Galle forte hotel. Thouroughly recommend a few nights here. more “

“it is a nice hotel and we mostly appreciated how the owners managed to refurbish this old building into a nic boutique hotel. Ask the management to show to you the album with pictures about all the work they have gone through ! We have read that the food served at it’s restaurant is very good. We personally did not”

“Having travelled in the beautiful Sri Lankan wilderness–jungle treks and mountain hikes– for three weeks we wanted some affordable luxury to finish off the trip which found us staying at the GFH for three nights. Well the hotel exceeded our expectations because it was luxury in a most friendly and casual atmosphere a combination almost impossible to find in any”

“Galle Fort Hotel exudes colonial splendour and deserves to be considered a destination boutique hotel. From the remarkable and urbane host Karl to the friendly and professional staff to the stylishly and individually furnished suites (the Grand Appartement is truly sumptuous!) to the superb Asian-fusion cuisine oh and the nightly frangipani art on the bed-linen – just perfect. more “

“This was my third visit to GFH and on this occasion I invited 6 friends to share a special celebration there. As expected everything was perfect – all the rooms were sensational (especially the suites) and the beautiful bed linen topped it off. The food was fantastic and the service first rate. Nothing was too much trouble for Karl and”

“My husband and I stayed at the GFH for only one night. We just wanted to get away from Colombo and relax. I have lived in Sri Lanka for almost three years and this was our first time to stay at the GFH. When we arrived we were immediatley greeted by the staff and Karl given a drink and where”
