The host was very kind and went out of his way to help me to make me feel welcome. He took me to the bus station the following morning as well and saved me a tuktuk price.

We really enjoyed our stay at Ceylon Olive. We travelled there with our 1 year old and it was a nice changeup from staying at hotels on the beach. The room is beautifully designed and spacious. The host is personable and went above and beyond to ensure we had a great stay. There's a onsite tuk-tuk, which is convenient for getting to Galle and Unawatuna.

GALLE FORT is great for a one day visit. The town is small and some shops are repetitive, with the same items for sale, but there are a few unique shops and restaurants which make a visit worthwhile.
Sunsets are beautiful; walk along the top of fort walls. Take a tuk tuk to the local fish market just outside of town for vibrant local life and walk back. We stayed overnight which made the visit more relaxing.

This Building is 400 years Old and in all our Travels of 30 years we have never lived in such a Colonial Building. The staff compliments the story behind this Colonial Masterpiece and they were Excellent. Service, Quality, Food and Drinks. It was a very Personalized experience living here because the hotel only has 11 rooms. We booked the Suite which was very spacious, Comfortable and Beautiful.

Galle is a city with a combination of a Dutch period fort and beach with all modern facilities. Dutch Fort is a very live well, reserved place with excellent attractions and choices. Walking over the museums and art galleries located in preserved ancient buildings is an excellent experience. fairly good nightlife available with ample choices of fine dining. within Fort, they charge higher prices due to high tourist demand. yet affordable eateries, supermarkets and facilities are available out of Fort within walking distance. Also people in Galle are very friendly, professional and helpful .

Galle is famous for its outstanding Portuguese architecture buildings. It is also famous for the world heritage site of Galle Fort and other amazing places to explore in Galle. And Galle sea coast is a very beautiful place.
Outstanding!!! I am so happy to have found this beautiful hotel! The location is ideal for going to both the Fort and Unawatuna with very cheap tuk-tuks, but in a very peaceful location. Indika and Lahiru are amazing! They were very attentive and kind and cooked our best meal in Sri Lanka. Beautiful rooms and fantastic pool. I highly recommend staying here! (We were going to stay at another hotel in the Fort, but they canceled last minute and I am so glad they did. This is a much better location with the best service.)
The accommodation clearly exceeded our expectations. There are only two rooms in the complex, which makes it pleasantly quiet. Despite the small complex, there is always a janitor who is there for every request and serves breakfast very lovingly. In general, both the owner and the janitor were extremely friendly. Last but not least, the room and the pool were very modern, clean and inviting. The bed was also the most comfortable of the Sri Lanka trip so far. We liked the hotel so much that we extended our stay.
Small, simple very friendly and quiet guest house in the heart of Galle fort, with very clean comfortable room with A/C and hot showers. Good Breakfast with plenty of variety of both European and Sri Lankan options. Seating outside the room on shared verandah, also a small common room with kettle and cooking facility to cook own food if required. We stayed here 30 years ago, the guest house has grown from 3 rooms to 10, still in the same family, with still the same warm welcome and standards,
This is a beautiful historic building. The room was excellent, and the lobby and dining areas were very comfortable and tastefully decorated. The quality of the service and the attention to detail from the three men managing this hotel was absolutely perfect. The breakfasts we were served, which were included in the room price, were the best we've ever had. This hotel was perfect in every way, and we will definitely stay there again the next time we are in Galle Fort.
Everything! Our stay was amazing, we were looked after so well by brilliant staff, and the accommodation is interesting and lovely. Breakfast was fantastic, the Sri Lankan hoppers were our favourite. Hotel organised a great tuk tuk driver too who took us around Galle, we really enjoyed our stay, they even made us a packed breakfast for our early morning train to Columbo - really kind and thoughtful. Thank you so much for making our holiday so special
Best location of the fort,near the light house beach and close to the busy pedlar street, however calm and quiet in the property ensuring good rest. Breakfast choices were many, we had sri lankan and french breakfast each, couldn't decide wich was the best. Tasty, appetizing and authentic. Rooms were clean and comfy. Overall great use of space. Old dutch house turned into a beautiful hotel while keeping the original soul.
Indika is a passionate owner and manager, who serves his customers with great care in this, his personally own created, guesthouse. This is not a chic boutique hotel, but a small, simple and personal ‘home’, coming as a reasonably low cost, perfect for backpackers who would enjoy basically ‘sleeping on top of the waves’. You will not be closer to the beautiful waters of Sri Lanka. Food, service, WiFi, beds are excellent!
We had a wonderful stay at Ceylon Olive. Initially we had booked one night, but booked one night extra because we liked it so much! If you’re looking for a beautiful boutique hotel in Galle away from the crowded fort, but still well located (10 minutes by tuktuk, then this the best place to stay. Kumudu is literally the best host we had in Sri Lanka. Very warm and welcoming.
Very beautiful and safe place to stay. Hosts are very helpful with everything regarding transport, places to see. Great hospitality. Beautiful garden. Very close to galle fort, jungle beach, japanese peace pagoda and many other places. The room was super clean, neatly arranged. No noise, comfortable bed, I had a sound sleep in the night. Great breakfast. Highly recommended.
Very stylish, tastefully decorated small boutique hotel in a colonial villa. Perfect location: three buildings away from the main street so, no noise, but only a few steps to the very center. Large and comfortable bed. Spacious bathroom. Welcoming hosts and great breakfast. I have also talked to the owner, and he is also a friendly guy, like all Sri Lankan people.
Positives
Nice size room. Hot shower at night but was a little cool in the morning. Toiletries supplied. Good location in the centre of Galle. Walking distance to everything. Very clean.
Lovely Sri Lankan breakfast and staff that go above and beyond. Very welcoming.
I would recommend this hotel for a stay in Galle we had a very comfortable stay here.
Fabulous small hotel right in the centre of Galle Fort. Service was exceptional with the team looking after everything. Breakfasts were very good (try the Sri Lankan). Rooms are modern and well equipped. Located in a quiet area, away from the tourist streets but walkable to everywhere.
Loved my stay at Arches Fort! The room was small but very clean and newly built.
Great location too, as it was a quick walk away from all the good sports within the fort.
The staff was so kind and friendly, it made an impression on me!
I would definitely stay over again when I’m Galle.
One of the best places I’ve stayed in Sri Lanka. Comfortable room with both ceiling fan and aircon plus very good quality sheets. Large and tasty breakfast. I would have liked to stay longer but they were booked solid. Very good Wi-Fi. Hospitable friendly family run the hotel
Faultless for us. 3rd time in Sri Lanka. Clean. Comfy bed. Great Wi-Fi. Excellent bathroom facilities and kitchen area. Great location 5 minutes from the beach of Dewata. 25 minutes walk to Galle Fort. A real little gem of a place.
The hotel was well located more or less in the centre of Galle Forte. The room was clean and we had all we needed. The owners were pleasant and carried our bags up to the room and gave us a bottle of water on our arrival.
Amazing hotel in Galle. We stayed here for 2 days whilst travelling Sri Lanka for our honeymoon. perfect location for visiting the fort and local restaurants. very helpful staff.
The pool is amazing and relaxing.
The beach behind the hotel was excellent for lounging and taking a dip. The rooms were very comfortable and clean. The staff made sure that we enjoyed the stay. The kitchen was very well equipped.
Brilliant location right in the centre of Galle Fort. Quite, scenic colonial hotel with everything on its doorstep. Most wonderful restaurant and the best "full Sri Lankan" breakfast.
