Nooit Gedacht Heritage Hotel-Original Dutch Governor's House

I had a lovely stay; the location is super, the staff very friendly, good breakfast & lovely pool! The oasis of the garden offers a quiet break from the busy town & streets. Walking distance from the restaurants, beach, supermarket & shops. I would not hesitate to book again!

Lovely staff, beautiful historic building, garden and wildlife were fascinating, pool was a great facility, and easy walk and connections to town, beach and Galle. A La Carte menu was rather limited, but I guess a lot of people go out to eat. Special set menu on our first night (of 3) was excellent, though.

We stayed here for a couple of nights near the end of August and initially our room had quite a bad damp smell. They offered us as change of room which was much fresher and couldn't do enough to assist us throughout our stay. It is in the most beautiful idyllic setting and the pool is awesome. Thoroughly recommend this stay and a massive thanks to all the friendly helpful staff. Luke and Hannah

Beautiful hotel located in a green garden with palms and leafy trees. Very quiet place, rooms are far from the road. The main noisemakers are chipmunks jumping on the roofs and munching on your fruits if you accidentally left it outside. Once I had a dinner there and I enjoyed the food. The hotel staff is extremely polite and helpful. I didn’t expect my calls will be answered at 4am when I arrived. However the hotel manager Jude was waiting for me and escorted me to my room. He also helped me with my PCR to travel back to Dubai. Water Anuradhapura greeted us every morning for breakfast, and Sanjula was helpful not only with the meal choice, but also he helped me to decide which beach do I go first and how do I get there. Overall, very much recommended!
