GALLE HERITAGE VILLA

Very nice place. Eventhough located in a central location the place is very clam and serene.

Die Unterkunft hat unsere Reservierung am Abreisetag mit der Begründung, dass das Hotel vorübergehend geschlossen ist, annulliert. Als wir dann vor Ort waren, war das Hotel normal geöffnet.

This is such a peaceful and beautiful old house to stay in. The staff are so welcoming and thoughtful. It is completely charming.

L’emplacement, le confort et le calme

Le personnel peu attentif. Aucun service ou presque. Tout est silencieux. Ça manque de sourire et de chaleur humaine, d’attention. Les hommes qui sont là attendent patiemment que ça se passe, ils sont assis en bas et dorment parfois. Un très bel hôtel « fantôme »

Beautiful hotel with a gorgeous, spacious room. Friendly welcoming staff. Great location in Galle Fort. I noticed in previous reviews that people mentioned that a small fridge would be a good addition to the room….they’ve taken this suggestion on board as we had a small fridge.

Location, space

No food/ cooking facilities

Very comfortable, excellent location. Lovely building with colonial feel.

All good.

Struttura in cui respiri la storia : una gran bella villa dal sapore coloniale, con arredi del periodo. Posizione ottima per girare il centro di Galle

Qualche ammodernamento in più non sarebbe male , ma siamo stati anche fortunati 😊 I primi ad avere un frigobar in camera (vuoto perché era stato appena installato, ma c’era )

One of our best stays in Sri Lanka. We had a huge twin room (2 double beds) in this beautiful historic building. The location is amazing - right in the middle of everything. We were working remotely and the communal spaces (sofas and dining areas) were a bonus - this place would be great for a group rental with all the open plan communal space. The lack of breakfast was not an issue for us at all as Galle is full of lovely cafes within easy walking distance, there is a kitchen in the house we could have used. The staff were lovely and helpful with laundry etc.

We really enjoyed our 3 nights here. Beautiful place in the fort area but quiet and peaceful. Was a great advantage to have kitchen facilities at our disposal. Staff very helpful and pleasant.

Extrem gute Lage. Die Zimmer waren groß und sehr sauber. Einfach perfekt. Die Küche konnte mit genutzt werden. Fantastisch 😊

We had a big room with two large beds. It was very spacious, with a high ceiling. We were just at the entrance. The place is charming. They have enough plugs for all the appliances. They kept our luggage after checkout time. The hotel is really well located, near the main shopping street and the lighthouse.

There is no restaurant. You have to eat out, including for your breakfast. But this is not a problem at all since you have so many options, just a short walk from the hotel.

Goede locatie, mooi gebouw, vriendelijk personeel

Onze kamer stonk naar mottenballen. Heel sterke vieze lucht, kwam uit klerenkast. Moet nodig wat aan gedaan worden.

So beautiful and comfortable, an absolute dream. Central to all the best of Galle, Malu Restaurant, lighthouse redoubt,so walkable.

Beautiful location, very clean, great value !

Everything about this villa

Exceptionally done and maintained place. A very pleasant stay and good facilties. Fantastic location. The manager and staff were both exceptional and very supportive. Right from washing and drying clothes in their machine, letting us use the kitchen and then cleaning it and doing utensils, arranging tuk-tuk and guiding about medical support etc. They even accommodated their booked geusts elsehwere to make sure that we could extend our stay because of one person having been hospitalised. Rooms were large and bright, so were the bathrooms. All the market and restaurants are about 100 meters to 500 meters from here.

IT has just three four rooms so perhaps its too much to expect - but a breakfast would help!

Fantastic location, the room was nice and the bed was very comfortable.

Big airy rooms

The location was excellent with everything at walking distance beach was just 5 min walk. The villa itself was gorgeous with huge room and bathroom and a lovely terrace .very nicely kept villa and loved the interior

Just a lovely place

Wonderful historical house well reconstructed in historical centre. Rooms were spacious

Internet was not very reliable otherwise all was ok, house is historical with old furniture.

The Galle Heritage Villa is really a fantastic place to stay in Galle. Ideally located in a nice central street of the Galle Fort, this beautifully renovated colonial house is perfect. Very warm welcome from the people managing the place, very quiet area and room, at our arrival, and all along the stay. The Villa is decorated with a perfect taste and refinement, large common areas, a nice yard with trees, grass, amchairs and garlands of lights at night. We stayed in one of the 2 rooms at the frist floor. Our room was very accommodating and spacious, with a kettle for making tea and coffee. Here also a refined choice of teas. The bathroom was huge with every possible comfort and nicely decorated. The value for money was really good. Do not hesitate one second!

Really nothing. All was perfect.

Absolutely beautiful house with amazing large rooms. Fantastic comfortable bed and huge bathroom. Great location in the old fort - everything walkable in a few minutes.

Nothing much... there was no breakfast available, but loads of cafes nearby.

Very clean, perfect location

Nothing

The villa is in a great location in the centre of the town. The room was clean and the bathroom in particular was spotless.

It’s perhaps a little pricey given there is no breakfast. Staff were lovely but didn’t really get a chance to interact with them.

Breakfast wasn't included but there are so many eateries within a few minutes walk away. The location couldn't have been better within Galle Fort. It was a very gracious & stylish villa to stay in. The room & bathroom are huge with clean, fluffy white towels provided daily. The manager, Mr Azwaan, and his assistant, Ashan, made us feel like honoured guests. They made our stay comfortable and relaxing.

Everything was perfect.

An excellent find, right in the middle of Galle Fort. Lovely villa, large bedroom and bathroom. Very friendly and helpful staff. Would definitely recommend it as very good value.

Nothing.

A big luxurious house with only 4 bedrooms. Has an excellent location, close to many restaurants, grocery stores and the rampart. The place does not provide food but one has access to kitchen facilities. Ishan who looks after the place is helpful and keeps the place spotless. There is no air conditioning in the living room area so can get hot.

None!

We really enjoyed our stay. The room was large as was the bathroom. The hotel was in a great location down a quiet street. The staff were exceptional and couldn't do enough. Would recommend.

Nothing really although the hot water was sometimes in short supply.

All was perfect.

All was really ok and at a high standard level.

One of my best stay in here

Everything is perfect, dreamy

It was a beautiful heritage hotel. The room and bathroom were very spacious. It was a great location.

The hot water system could be better and needed a mossie protector - the mosquito nets worked well

very nice, clean and cozy accommodation with large rooms in the middle of Galle Fort. good choice to stay.

Superb heritage old Dutch villa. Lofty ceilings, big spacious rooms with shuttered windows. Lovely internal courtyard,

No services offered- no breakfast but a huge kitchen and wonderful table would have been great to eat there. Also a chipmunk was in the room and bathroom so there was dirt from it. And mosquitoes.

Lovely location - close to the action, but not in the middle of it. Wonderful service - Ashan, who manages the entire villa is polite, helpful and friendly. The room was large, comfortable and clean.

Beautiful colonial building. Peaceful and serene yet in a great central location.

A beautiful villa in a fabulous location in Galle.

No complaints

The property is way more beautiful than what is seen in the photos. The rooms are huge and the bathrooms are even bigger. The Kitchen was functional and was very helpful because we had 2 kids with us. The location of the Villa is very close to the Galle lighthouse and there are alot of Cafes and Restaurants at walking distance from the Villa.

Loved the entire villa, made us feel luxurious. The rooms were very comfortable. Great location. Easy to walk it up everywhere

What a lovely place. One of the nicest rooms we had on our trip through Sri Lanka. Very spacious, spotlessly clean with a huge bathroom. We loved staying there. Lot's of very good places to go for breakfast in the area. The staff was very nice and helpful. I totally recommend. Very good value for money...

Nothing not to like

It is wonderful stylish villa as expected. Located in the heart of this historic and iconic city, we enjoyed strolling to see the sunrise and sunset and exploring the beautiful shops. The staff were very nice and helpful. Mr. Azwan arranged a car charter. It was actually trustworthy because the driver is smart enough with a beautiful TOYOTA car. If you have any plan to do that, please ask the hotel they arrange you with a best value.

nothing

Beautiful house, large and comfortable room and super clean. Large bathroom with good shower. Very quiet although centrally located in the historical center.

It’s not the cheapest location to stay, but at the end it’s value for money.

Great location. Nice big clean rooms Just no hot water :( you get about 60 seconds of warm water then it goes cold, for the price I expect more

No hot water

I like the decoration of the house. The room is huge and clean. the beds are big. There is good hot water for shower. It’s in a good location in the fort. The staff were very nice and gave us umbrella when we went out and it started to rain.

When I booked the room and asked questions to a staff (don’t know whom), he/she was quite rude…. But the staff in the property were very nice.

We could really feel the history in this original Dutch Colonial property with extremely high ceilings and big solid furniture. The location is excellent - inside Galle Fort and close to the shops/restaurants, but on a quieter side street. We were very surprised in our one night stay to see in the road not only a peacock who often sits on the roof, but a troop of monkeys… It’s not 5 star luxury but the property was clean and the staff were helpful and pleasant. Great value for money.

Wonderful heritage villa with huge rooms. Matching maintenance Great Location inside the old fort area - close to light house

Only one wooden chair to sit in No TV in the room High price

Lovely building, large comfortable room, well put together. Location is brilliant and right in the thick of things. Great service. I highly recommend staying here

Nothing to dislike!

Everything ! Very well kept and fashionable design. The staff as well is very friendly

Spacious room with friendly staff. They went their way to help us get the railway tickets.

Perfect location & awesome villa. Absolutely clean and the staff were really friendly..

The villa is beautiful and instantly feels like home when you enter. The lobby and common area resemble a cozy living room, creating a very welcoming atmosphere. The entire property is clean and well-maintained. Our twin room was spacious, with very comfortable beds, and the bathroom was the nicest I’ve seen in Sri Lanka. We had hot water, and the WiFi worked well. The location is also perfect, right inside the fort. There are plenty of restaurants and coffee shops nearby, yet it remains quiet at night.

Very stylish villa with only 4 suites. Antique furniture and art decor make this spacious house very cosy . There is even a shared kitchen u might be allowed to use . We could use the wash Maschine and a late check out was made possible. Staff goes the extra mile . Great quiet location , but central in the Fort area with plenty restaurants and great cafes . Fully recommend

Brilliant location, quiet at night, very large rooms and spotless

Oh wow, what a gorgeous old house! And an amazing location, just a skip and jump from Flag Rock. This was once a boutique stay managed by the Jetwing group, so it is restored to a very high standard. The rooms upstairs are enormous with a gorgeous terrace overlooking a courtyard below. Because the new managers are not providing any catering, the lovely communal areas (sitting and dining) are not really used, which is a shame. There is also an amazing kitchen that can be shared! But of all the places we visited, Galle has the MOST restaurants, so we didn't really use it, except for the fridge. It would be an amazing stay for a large group, when the communal areas could be taken advantage of.

The upstairs rooms are best. But I could not work out from their photos/description which were the upstairs rooms. When we arrived they told me I had booked a downstairs room, but fortunately were able to upgrade us. So do check with them when booking!

Stunning high ceilings, lovely furniture, quiet and great location

We arrived to the heritage Villa and were greeted with warmth and a welcome drink. The staff were super friendly and helpful. The villa itself is a beautiful restored heritage building which has four bedrooms., all en suite. We took the front ground floor room which had a 2 four poster beds and access out onto the front veranda. The room was beautiful. We also had to use of a really large kitchen which had an outlook on to an internal court yard. There is a huge open high ceiling entrance living room which is perfect to hang out in in the hot weather. Beyond the property you are located right towards the southern end of Galle fort. This area has perfect for access to the wall and there are ample restaurants and cafes in the vicinity. Our whole experience staying at this heritage Villa was amazing and the staff were fantastic. I would highly recommend staying here it is such an intimate and private place yet you're in the heart of everything.

Everything was great

Amazing house. They take care of every decoration detail so you are transported back two centuries to the dutch colonial era. Breathtaking.

Common areas ( living, dinning) had no air conditioning, making most part of the villa unusable.

Providing breakfast would have been good.

Such an elegant and comfortable house with spacious, well air conditioned rooms. 50 yards from the wall.

It doesn't provide breakfast or any food but there are cafes all around.

Very nice room. Good location. Comfortable bed and good air-conditioning

No breakfast

Location is good.

It’s in the center city, very close to the sea

It looks like an old palace, very beautiful and the room was super big

It is such a beautiful property and so well located, minutes walk from everything. The room was very well furnished, a big bed and spacious bathroom. Would recommend for a bit of tranquility amongst Galle’s heat!

Beautiful Heritage villa tastefully decorated in the heart of Galle Fort

Nothing

Central location in Galle Forte. Incredible house boy who looked after all sorts for us. I hadn’t realised when booking but it has communal fridge and cooking facilities which were great for keeping juice and fruit cool and the odd beer. Allowed access to our room before check in and also after check out on last day we waited in communal areas. Absolutely recommend this place.

Nothing!

Elegant surroundings, peaceful, comfortable stay in a pleasant environment

Nothing

Beautiful colonial style building with a nice and peaceful garden. Perfect location and very helpful and nice staff. The manager gave me a ride to the bus station at 5:30 am. I would definitely stay there again.

Great location - the main attractions of Galle fort are nearby yet the property has a calm surrounding. Perfect to relax before and after walking around the Galle fort area. The property is comfortable and yet it retains the vintage charm. Staff is very polite and helpful.
