Sirène Galle Fort, hotel in Galle

Featuring free WiFi and a sun terrace, Sirène Galle Fort offers accommodations in Galle, 656 feet from Dutch Church Galle. Certain units feature a seating area where you can relax.

We stayed for two nights, and the manager, as we had a night flight at the second night, charged us half for the second night! Nice budget hotel, located in the old city of Galle, nice breakfast. We had a good time!

Deltora Villa - free drop off to Galle Fort by TukTuk, hotel in Galle

Deltora Villa - free drop off to Galle Fort by TukTuk offers a hot tub and spa facilities, as well as air-conditioned accommodations in the center of Galle, a 5-minute walk from Mahamodara Beach.

We loved our stay here so much that we booked again for our return to Colombo stay. The staff were so lovely and enthusiastic and helpful. The villa is gorgeous, so small and intimate. Only 4 rooms so we basically had it to ourselves as it was nearing the end of season in late April. We had a free tuk tuk ride to Galle Fort and this way we met a wonderful driver who ended up being a large part of our travels and a friend for life ! We caught the train from Colombo Fort to Galle and the villa is only a 5 minute tuk tuk ride. . Highly recommend 👌 👍 👏

    I had an excellent stay at this guest house. Its proximity to a major highway interchange made travel easy, yet the surrounding greenery provided a peaceful and quiet atmosphere. The place was impeccably clean, and the breakfast was both delicious and affordable. The hosts were very friendly and helpful. I highly recommend this guest house for its convenience, cleanliness, tasty breakfast, and warm hospitality. I'll definitely return.

    Love this place, relaxed vibe, clean, comfortable rooms, lovely friendly, quietly attentive staff, good food in a fantastic roof terrace restaurant, lovely spaces to hang out. Our host could not have been more accommodating or kind. The location is perfect to catch sunsets and sea breeze and an easy walk to sights, shops & cafes. Monkeys, iguanas, kingfishers and the hilarious crows hanging out too (not in the property!) Everything you'd want of a guesthouse. Highly recommend

    This guest house was in a great location, just 5 mins walk away from the train and bus stations and 10 mins walk to the fort. Clean and very comfortable - great air con and a quiet location. The host was friendly & helpful and we enjoyed a lovely homemade breakfast each day. Great value. The shared bathroom is only shared between 2 rooms so never an issue & right outside the room. Thoroughly recommend to others.

    The room was super nice, quiet, and with the air conditioning always comfortably cool. Ravi, the host, takes very good care of his guests and makes you feel very welcome. Breakfast is served on the balcony with a lovely view and includes a wide variety of fresh fruits, tea, toast and so much more. The guest house is perfectly located as it's close to everything you could want and need. All in all we had a wonderful time and can't recommend the guest house enough.

    In the heart of Galle, but on a very quiet street. I actually stayed in the next door guesthouse. Nicely furnished and spotlessly clean. Definitely have breakfast, it’s delicious and pretty substantial. The host and staff are all very charming and super helpful. I’ll stay again next time I’m in town.
