"EXCEPTIONAL" (TRIPADVISOR)
"Amazing owners and staff, superb location, incredible breakfast. Staff couldn’t be more helpful or friendly, location very close to the lighthouse and fort and many shops. Room was beautiful, wonderful bed and shower. Delicious breakfast with fresh coffee, fresh fruits and fresh croissants, and the dinner was the most exquisite I had based on this type of Asian flavours !"

"The best and warm-hearted host I've ever met in Sri Lanka. We chatted a lot since they knew I am an architect and recommended me some excellent places for visiting. The rooms are cozy and fantastic, each of which is decorated in different colors and corresponding artworks, really show the artistic flavor and taste of the owner~ especially the mosquito net. In their Restaurant the cuisine - our passion - is exceptionally delicate and tastefull"

" Durch den herzlichen Empfang bei der Ankunft fühlte man sich von Beginn an wie zuhause. Während dem Willkommensdrink wurden uns die Do’s and Dont’s in Galle verraten. Die Zimmer waren sehr schön und liebevoll eingerichtet und liessen keine Wünsche offen. Die Anlage ist im Allgemeinen schön und mit viel Liebe eingerichtet zudem ist sie sehr ruhig gelegen. Das Frühstück wurde jeden Morgen frisch zubereitet (Müesli, Croissants, etc.) und schmeckte hervorragend. Am meisten gefallen hat uns das liebe und hilfsbereite Personal, welches uns das Gefühl vermittelte Zuhause zu sein. Vielen Dank für den wunderschönen Aufenthalt, wir wären gerne noch etwas länger geblieben." Marco (Switzerland)
"Excellent accueil! Staff aux petits soins, conseils avisés et disponibilité de l'équipe exceptionnelle. Propreté impeccable, décoration soignée, petit déjeuner copieux, exceptionnel diner, une vraie symphonie de gouts. Galle est la ville que nous avons préférée durant notre séjour de 2 semaines mais c'est aussi en partie grâce à cet hôtel dans lequel on se sent comme dans un cocon. Même la pluie nous a paru agréable sous le patio, accompagnée du sourire et des attentions du Staff Bravo !"
