Top Galle Clock Tower Hotel Reviews

Galle Fort Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect location and very traditional setting with fabulous attentive staff and great cocktails. Highly recommend staying here if traveling to Galle. Will not disappoint."

The Dutch Bungalow

10/10 Excellent

"This is my favorite place to stay. The building is beautiful, the staff are so friendly and helpful, and the location is perfect. I have stayed on my own, I recently came with my husband, and look forward to returning in January with my parents."

Prince of Galle

10/10 Excellent

"This is an exceptional hotel in many ways. The heritage character and friendly staff are highlights. The design and antiques are exquisite. While the bedrooms are small they are quirky and well appointed. And you can treat the whole common areas of the hotel as your comfortable home. Breakfast is outstanding served as a sequence of local treats. We enjoyed it everyday of our stay."

The Fort House

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely hotel in a historical building - my room was spotlessly clean and was fully modern while also having loads of character. The staff were welcoming and helpful. Breakfast was great - first time I’d been served an egg hopper! Delicious!"

Yara Galle Fort

8/10 Good

"I’d like to say thank you for the staff but the hotel needs to make sure about the manager’s approach with the whole crew. It’s not about working by pressure but work happy. It’s not about you have a perfect service but it’s about to see no pressure in the staff’s eyes. If any guest ask to perfection and the solution will be pressure, that’s clear to no work."

32 Middle Street

10/10 Excellent

"Absolutely amazing place, particularly if you get lucky and have the place to yourself..a private villa in paradise. Can't write a review without the highest of praise for Nirmal and Erandaka too. Absolute legends. Breakfasts are ace"
