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.

I had an amazing stay at this hotel. The design was beautiful with a great attention to detail. The hotel grounds were well-maintained and inviting, with a nice clean swimming pool. But what really stood out to me was the staff. They were all so caring and considerate, going above and beyond to make sure that my stay was comfortable and enjoyable. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone.

Such a memorable 3 night stay in this beautiful 600 year old boutique hotel. The building and decor were stunning, rooms super comfortable, and staff amazing. The 5 course breakfasts, morning tea/coffee trays and the Prince’s Long Island Iced Teas were such a treat. Other highlights were the King’s Residence bedroom, piano man who takes song requests and the bugle player for the evening rooftop flag ceremony.

    The Galle Fort in Galle is my absolute favorite place — it has a vibe of its own. It’s completely safe at any time of the day, even for solo travelers. There’s so much history within the Fort walls to learn about and beautiful architecture to explore. The hosts at the restaurants and hotels inside the Fort are amazing, and the service is truly of international standard. The view of the Indian Ocean from the Ramparts is simply breathtaking. There are plenty of restaurants offering a wide variety of cuisines and dishes to try. Outside the Fort, I highly recommend visiting the beaches at Unawatuna, just a few kilometers from Galle City Centre. While you’re there, don’t miss the Japanese Peace Pagoda at Rumassala — you won’t regret it! Yaddehimulla Road in Unawatuna has everything from surf schools and restaurants to gem shops, gelato spots, international cuisines, and everything in between. For quick bites and essentials, SPAR Supermarket at Galle City Centre is your go-to place. You’ll find tasty rice and curry meals, ready-to-eat options, mosquito repellent, basic medical supplies, snacks, good-quality fruits, and other everyday necessities.

    If you're going to Galle, stay inside the Fort. Lots of charming little villas and boutique hotels where you can drop your bags and go walkabout, soaking in the colonial charm and enjoying the relaxed vibe. Great food options, live music and incredible sunsets.

    The vibe that Galle fort shares during anytime of the day is marvelous. It is a super child friendly place with amazing shops and places at every corner. It has the ambience of a unique blend between antiquity and modernity filled with aesthetic taste of rich culture and art. Seems its potential is still untapped fully. Loved the eateries and little cafes designed with elegance and charm. It showcases the serenity of a typical European port city with Dutch colonial architecture.

    We originally had one full day planned at Galle but we ended up being there for longer. We didn't need to be there any longer than one day. The walk around the Fort was lovely but there were not really many good shops to see and it was a little touristy in the Fort. Unfortunately they still let cars and motorbikes and Tuk Tuks in the street of the Fort which was difficult to navigate. Not really much to do in Galle except for the Fort.

    You will be surprised how good this place is. The staff is exceptional and better than in 5 star hotels. Rooms are clean and all facilities work flawlessly. Beautiful garden all around you and you can have a real connection with nature. There is always someone available to give you a ride to the town/beach for a reasonable price. Restaurant has one of the best meals in Sri Lanka and meals are improved every day by your preference. Extra ++ The owner of this place goes beyond to make your stay the best one and exceptional wifi connection!

    It’s in the thick of Galle fort, we wanted a taste of a small European style coastal stay and that’s exactly what we got. You can literally stumble out of bed and be sitting at a sidewalk cafe in a matter of seconds. It’s the perfect location to explore the fort without any additional travel time needed. The breakfast that is served is traditional Sri Lankan style breakfast and the staff and the staff talk you through it and how to eat it. Which felt both educational and empowering.

    One of the best hotels we’ve ever stayed at! Wonderful staff, stunning property and beautiful clean rooms - we stayed in one of the villas as a family of 4 and were so comfortable. Breakfast was delicious, esp the Sri Lankan one. Less than 10 min drive to Galle Fort and we also enjoyed going to the Turtle Sanctuary nearby. We loved our stay so much we went back for another night at the end of our trip. Will be recommending to anyone we know going to Sri Lanka.

    A small nice hotel tucked into Galle centre, we had the room which backed onto the entrance lobby, not the end of the world, just meant no outside fresh air. The hotel itself is good in decor and had everything we needed. Great location for walking everywhere in Galle, plenty of good food nearby. The breakfast was good, with options for continental or Sri Lankan.

    We liked everything about Yara Galle Fort. The historic building, the location, the size and style of the room, the delicious and generous Sri Lankan breakfast and the friendly and helpful staff. We could walk everywhere from the hotel and it was quiet and comfortable at night. We thought it was great value for money for the quality of the accommodation.
