The Galle Heritage Villa is really a fantastic place to stay in Galle. Ideally located in a nice central street of the Galle Fort, this beautifully renovated colonial house is perfect. Very warm welcome from the people managing the place, very quiet area and room, at our arrival, and all along the stay. The Villa is decorated with a perfect taste and refinement, large common areas, a nice yard with trees, grass, amchairs and garlands of lights at night. We stayed in one of the 2 rooms at the frist floor. Our room was very accommodating and spacious, with a kettle for making tea and coffee. Here also a refined choice of teas. The bathroom was huge with every possible comfort and nicely decorated. The value for money was really good. Do not hesitate one second!

Absolutely everything! First up, the ambience! It has a unique aesthetic - very artistic. The puppets add a unique look and feel. They’ve designed and decorated the place very artistically. The rooms like something out of a fantasy - they look like rooms from a dollhouse! Very unique. Staying here was an experience in itself. Not to be missed if one is ever in Galle, Sri Lanka. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. You get service with a smile! The staff makes sure that your stay is comfortable. Dimutu, the manager, even offered us a packed breakfast on the day we were to check out early. The kitchen is an open kitchen where one can see the meals being prepared. There is a water dispenser outside the rooms for the guests to use.

Kumudu, the owner, was very welcoming and helpful throughout our stay. The room was really big, nicely decorated and the open bathroom was an absolute highlight on our Sri Lanka journey.

The staff goes above and beyond: I had a family emergency and they helped me a lot, also outside of their working hours. They truly go the extra mile to make you feel at home and that I didn’t feel like I’m alone in this difficult situation. Sidesh is a great manager with a generous heart! The interior is beautiful and the breakfast is delicious! I highly recommend this accomodation!

    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.

    We loved this small cozy hotel which was really worth the money. The pool was clean and wonderfully framed by vegetation. The monkeys jumped around in the trees and we got wonderful pictures of them. The 5 minute tuktuk ride to Galle fort, a beautiful area with lots of sights, eateries and shopping was free. At the hotel they had an unusual number of breakfast options. Everything from Sri Lankan breakfast to different pancakes and waffles and fresh fruits. The beds were comfortable and the area around the hotel was very quiet!

    Arches Fort was very welcoming providing access to our room very early when we arrived after overnight travel from the UK. The room was compact but well equipped with a nice bathroom and very cofartable bed. Good wifi. The Sri Lankan breakfast was excellent. The hotel manager put us in touch with a driver to take us to our next destination at the same rate as Uber. The location is in the centre of Galle Old Fort so there are many restaurants, shops etc nearby but our room in the rear courtyard was very quiet.

The accommodation was very comfortable, the location was good but… I have no doubt that at De Moda boutique hotel we met the most friendly hosts from this vacation. Thank you, guys , for all the attention & kindness and advice that you showed us!
