Despite being a family run guest house the family were very hidden and not particularly helpful when answering questions (to the point where we only stayed 1 night not 2 as initially planned). I'm not sure if this was just as we were staying during buddhist new year or if it is like this all the time. It is a... More

The guest house is conveniently situated in the interesting Galle Fort. The owner was friendly when we arrived. The room was clean, the towels thread bare, no coffee/tea making facilities and no means to make any elsewhere. Breakfast was the same every morning, eggs, toast, fresh fruit or juice not both, good tea or coffee. The room wasn't cleaned unless... More

The Frangipani Motel is in a good location in the centre of Galle Fort and is set back from the street so there is a nice area to have breakfast. Our room on the ground floor was OK (although the furnishings are a bit eccentric - pink and blue mosquito nets) and the shower is very good but the general... More

My friend and I stayed here for three nights and after visiting different towns / cities in Sri Lanka, this was certainly our favourite place that we stayed. The room was clean, with fresh clean towels. Our room had both air con and a fan and both were of good quality so you could choose which one you would prefer... More

Located in the heart of the old town so that is perfect. The rooms and place itself however are all very clean but unless you like kitsch and sterility it is not so romantic. The owners are semi friendly but also all a bit in your face. and cleaning starts at 7am and never seems to stop - so there... More

Friendly guesthouse, with friendly helpful family. Decent rooms with good fans, comfy bed, good AC and mosquito nets. Overall clean, spacious. We didn't eat, so can't rate the food. Minor low shower water pressure problem (2nd floor) but not bad. Would happily recommend it to anyone.

5000 LKR for a room without air condition and hot water. A big business for owners because of Lonely Planet travel guide book's tip. Not recommended. you can find more affordable, cheaper and much nicer accommodation in Galle.

We spent one night in the motel. The bed and room was fine and clean, and the house looks beautiful from the outside. The reason I am not giving it a higher grade is that I didn't feel very welcome in comparison to other places I stayed. The family lives in the place, but they hardly great you. If you... More

The plug socket in our room wouldn't work and the shower went cold half way through. We gave some laundry to the owner, who then left it out in the rain. We ended up having to take it with us soaking wet as we were leaving the next day. They don't speak much English so communication was difficult. Totally over-priced... More

We were booked for three nights but ended up moving on after two. The room was clean and the bathroom presented well but the toilet stoped flushing and the bathroom smell was awful. Breakfast was good , but we chose to eat out for all the other meals in the Fort as there was so much to choose from. I... More
