Top Galle Clock Tower Hotel Reviews

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."

Le Grand Galle

10/10 Excellent

"This is a spectacular hotel that I would recommend for anyone. The pool is incredible, the rooms are spacious with great views and the staff is so kind. This property, location, and screams luxury. 10/10 experience."

The Dutch Bungalow

10/10 Excellent

"Good hospitality"

Prince of Galle

10/10 Excellent

"Property was beautifully kept and maintained, it was also spotlessly clean. Staff were lovely and very helpful with a great level of English. Then there was the breakfast, or Bregustation, event. This is delicious and a unique offering in a city of uniqueness, do build time in for this if you stay there. If you are staying elsewhere in Galle or the area, it is well worth booking in and paying extra for, all courses hand prepared to order and full of taste and meaning. Thoroughly recommended!!"

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"

The Fort House

10/10 Excellent

"Great location inside the fort walls, so close to shopping, dining and historic sites. Staff very so nice and helpful, and the breakfasts, which were different every day and were freshly made local food, are probably the best breakfasts we've had in any country when travelling overseas. Beautifully restored building with tasteful period style decor. Good a/c plus a ceiling fan"

Taru Villas Rampart Street - Galle Fort

"This is a Beautiful old Villa right in the heart of Galle Fort. Room was amazing very generous in size and beautifully styled in colonial manner, huge balcony and excellent bathroom leading off the balcony all 100% private we loved it ! A beautiful small pool which I enjoyed a lot. Full service for fools and beverage should it be required. Breakfast was a real treat served in the dining area overlooking the garden and pool. Staff were 1st rate and helped make the stay special. I will be back !"

Cara Galle Fort
