The entire setting, including the buildings, pool and gardens embodies elegance and tranquility. The service, ably led by Shanthra, was discreet and professional. We appreciated that the location is a little away from the bustle and noise of the city center, yet in easy reach by tuk-tuk. The room was spacious, well-appointed and clean.

Amazing location right on the beach, a great view to wake up to, a range of beach bars near by, extremely cheap so it’s perfect if you need a simple place to stay for a night on a budget! It’s rustic and quirky.

This was a very comfortable and excellently located hotel. The outstanding element to our stay were the hotel staff led by Hirudima. They were delightful and Hirudima went out of his way to be helpful and friendly. He even organised a courier to deliver a bag we left behind to our next location. The hotel staff made our stay in Galle a real pleasure and were among the very best we have encountered throughout our many hotel stays in Sri Lanka.

This is a small hotel with three rooms. The staff here takes good care of the guests. Don't expect a fully functional reception desk. It is more like an upscale homestay. Having said that, i must add that this bungalow has been lovingly restored, it is aesthetically pleasing and there is a touch of personalised care in everything. Best place to stay inside the galle fort.

This place is amazing, exactly what I wanted in the best location. I loved it here. AC was good wifi was good. The host was such a nice person, that speaks perfect English. Despite having staffing issues and working full time as a teacher he went out of his way to ensure my stay was perfect, and specially made me a delicious breakfast to suit my dietary needs. I wish I had more time to stay here longer and 100% recommend this place to everyone.

Arches Fort is a nice and warm place to stay in Galle. The hosts are very helpful and have maintained this heritage place top class. The Welcome Drink and Breakfast is also very delicious. We had a wonderful time right in the centre of the Dutch town with everything at walkable distance. It is probably the best place to stay at reasonable prices in Galle.

The host is amazing person and so do their family , they helped us with the transportation suggestions and the best places to visit, also the shops to buy souvenirs. It is a homely stay and the best location inside the Dutch fort of galle. Just around 1km from the railway station and 300 metres from the beach/sunset point. The common balcony has beautiful vibe to chill. There are three beds and spacious for 3-4 people. Highly Recommended lighthouse guest stay.

Kodi was incredibly kind and hospitable. The breakfasts were delicious, with lots of interesting insights into local dishes and culture. He took us to the station early morning on his car which was very much appreciated! The house is amazing - a real historical gem full of authentic features and antiques. The location is perfect - on a quiet side street round the corner from many restaurants and the fort wall overlooking the sea. It was a fantastic place to stay!

Very quiet at night allowed for an amazing sleep. Breakfast was the best we have had in Sri Lanka I would highly recommend. Overall a great place to stay with brilliant hosts!
