Very modern big rooms. Very friendly staff which was kind enough to wait for us for late check-in and allow us to check-out a bit late. Location is close to the fort.
Fridge and towels were smelly. Informed the reception to take care of it. Breakfast is basic and could be better.

I would definitely give them a 10 for trying. The efforts are quite obvious. They are indeed super catering and friendly. I also enjoy the location, just outside Galle Fort with access to many real local people markets. I love the little balcony for a beer. They were so kind to let me borrow a bike for an easy ride around.
The room is very basic. Make sure you bring your own shampoo and stuff. I am lucky as a middle-aged bald guy who needs not much. There is no blanket but just a sheet. Lucky I prefer fans to air conditioner. This is not what I didn't like really but rather what I wish them to already know before a guest comes in to tell them.

Good location, spacious rooms, good basic breakfast. Short walk to the Fort and town/shops. Quiet location. Staff friendly and helpful. A good option to explore Galle and close beaches. Manager Iflal was able to assist with some issues and arrange transport.
The first night we stayed in the top floor room. It was spacious and had decks. It also has a lot of glass walls. It was too hot and very light at night for us. After talking with Iflal we were moved to another room which was perfect for our needs, on the back of the property, darker, cooler and with an amazing bathroom.

Super friendly staff, they upgraded out room and gave us the suite for the price of the standard room. The location is great, just a few minutes walking from the Galle fort. Breakfast was delicious, we really enjoy it. Huge room with a very confortable bed with two balconies where we could enjoy a great view of Galle. Definitly recommended
Everything was great

If I'll return to Galle some day, I would definitely love to stay here again.
Nothing to complain about, everything was awesome.

Amazing staff

Room was huge, bed was fairly comfortable (though that's subjective) and huge. Shower was adequate, fridge in room worked well, aircon and fan were spot on. Iflal was quite helpful with local information and arranged our Tuk Tuk journeys with his friend Lal who is a character who helped us with our train tickets when we left (he will try and take you on a tour of Galle whether you ask for it or not)
Pool was just OK for a quick dip to cool down, not a very inviting area to sit and relax as it's quite small and surrounded by high walls, with jut a few chairs and sunbeds. Though we don't go on holiday to watch TV we do like to keep up with BBC World Service but no English Channels were available. The small balcony did have a table and two chairs but the room is large enough to accommodate a small sofa or a couple of armchairs which would have been a bonus

We got a large room on the top floor with two big terraces. The owner and the staff are very friendly and helpful.
Just to know: There is no garden around the pool.

The hotel is run by Iflal who is one of most hospitable and helpful people I have ever met, also great fun! He organised transport and trips with genuine honest friendly local people at very reasonable prices. Great breakfast and accompanying music., and he even put up the English flag during my stay that had been given to him by the Barmy Army! Hotel on a hill overlooking Galle but a few mins from the fort. Top floor room was huge with great aircon and big outside terrace looking over Galle. Went to rooftop restaurant at the Lady Hill a couple of hundred yards up the road which has spectacular views of Galle, and out to sea.
No negatives, had a great time there
