The kind and generous family working this guesthouse made the experience in Galle worthwhile. We had our first-ever Sri Lankan breakfasts (we had to order the night before) which included egg and string hoppers and three different kinds of homemade curry. Everything was delicious and the staff was very accommodating to our travel schedule. They arranged the trip to our... More

This small inn is situated within the old fort walls and it's a gem of a place. The owners couldn't be more helpful and yyou are always greeted by a huge smile!. I had a double room with breakfast--which was very tasty and plentiful. The room had a double bed and a good size bathroom plus ac and fan. The... More

The room we had was small with cramped bathroom but well furnished. Except for the Muezzin form the nearby mosque, the room was quiet. The service was friendly but not very present. The appeal of this guesthouse is its location inside the old fort.

We were really looking forward to staying here as part of our tour of Sri Lanka, having read all the glowing reports on Tripadvisor but when we arrived we were welcomed by Raisika and promptly taken around the corner and told we would be staying somewhere else - an annexe? It was a dump with dirty bathrooms, aircon that maintained... More

Located in Galle fort, this is a family run guest house within easy walking distance of everything. The Sri Lankan breakfast was the best we have tasted so far on our travels and kept us full until dinner time. Rasika (think that's spelt right!) speaks perfect English and nothing is too much trouble for her - she always has a... More
