I enjoyed staying at Le Jardin du Fort - a quirky boutique hotel located in the heart of Sri Lanka’s stunning coastal fort of Galle. The property is wonderfully styled in a French baroque aesthetic, and of course, quirky puppets to match the restaurant named Puppets downstairs! There’s such playfulness to the spaces here - my bedroom was huge, with a real sense of faded grandeur, and thoughtful amenities provided such as tea, coffee, milk, sugar and a mini fridge with free bottled water. The bathroom was fantastic too, powerful water pressure, a surprisingly difficult feature to find in many accommodation options in Sri Lanka. The team at Le Jardin du Fort were incredibly hospitable throughout my stay, eager to help, and always with such warmth. It was a pleasure staying here!

Galle Fort
This Dutch colonial fort is Galle’s most popular attraction, and for good reason – a stroll along this UNESCO World Heritage Site showcases streets brimming with old-time charm and stunning sea views. It takes an hour or two to walk along the fort, with plenty of opportunities to stop at cafés, museums and shops along the way.

Serendipitous is a great word to describe this place.
Serendipitous is a great word to describe this place. There's aways something pleasantly surprising around the corner. Be it an influencer trying to get a good shot without the crowds or families walking the ramparts.

I stayed here 18 months ago on my last trip to Sri Lanka.
The location in Galle Fort is perfect for the restaurants and for walking around the interesting narrow cobbled streets..
A lovely little boutique style hotel with a friendly manageress.
We liked everything about Yara Galle Fort. The historic building, the location, the size and style of the room, the delicious and generous Sri Lankan breakfast and the friendly and helpful staff. We could walk everywhere from the hotel and it was quiet and comfortable at night. We thought it was great value for money for the quality of the accommodation.
Fabulous small hotel right in the centre of Galle Fort. Service was exceptional with the team looking after everything. Breakfasts were very good (try the Sri Lankan). Rooms are modern and well equipped. Located in a quiet area, away from the tourist streets but walkable to everywhere.
This was our first visit to Sri Lanka. We booked last minute and could not prepare this holiday. The hotel is run as a bed and breakfast, which was exactly what we like. The owner and staff were super friendly and helpful to make our little trip very special and helped create amazing memories. Galle fort, actually a walled little town, has beautiful restored colonial houses turned in very good restaurants, hotels and shops. Beaches are close-by for sun bathing and surfing.
Very nice and cozy boutique hotel in Galle Fort, just seconds away shops and restaurants. Loved my room. Sri Lankan breakfast just superb - the best I had since travelling across this country.
Brilliant location right in the centre of Galle Fort. Quite, scenic colonial hotel with everything on its doorstep. Most wonderful restaurant and the best "full Sri Lankan" breakfast.
Our time at the Sun House was a great experience. We stayed in the Dumas Suite, which was very comfortable and quiet. The staff are very attentive and friendly and try very hard to look after guests. The location is perfect, in a peaceful location surrounded by nature but close to the sites in Galle Fort. We had a lovely time at the hotel and will definitely stay again when we return to Sri Lanka.
This is a lovely hotel in the centre of Galle Fort. The staff was fantastic, the breakfast is really good (there is a Sri Lankan Curry or several European brunch style, they also have Barista coffees which is a definite bonus if you like to start your day with a coffee.
The rooms are tastefully decorated and comfortable.
Great location and closer to everything around Galle fort. We got a free upgrade to an upstairs room with a balcony and we really loved our stay. Room was fully equipped with everything we needed and the hotel looked amazing with all Sri Lankan interior designing. Friendly staff and great breakfast.
Deltora Vila was one of our favorite stays in Sri Lanka. The interior is beautiful as well as the pool. The room was very nice and comfortable. Breakfast was super tasty and you could choose between 3 types of breakfast. Location was not so central,but 5-8 minutes with tuktuk from the hotel to Galle Fort. They aslo provided us with1 free tuktuk drive to Galle Fort per day! Staff was super super friendly and helpfull. We had an amazing time and we would recommend this place to everyone!
