Beautiful hotel interior. All staff are very friendly and always smiling. It was nice that there was beach access. The attentiveness of the staff is what really made it stand out like contacting us before we arrived to ensure we were all set and they helped organise our activities. We really enjoyed our stay and recommend it to others

The Merchant is perfectly located - basically a five minute walk from any point in Galle Fort. The rooms are lovely, big and modern. The restaurant downstairs is one of the best in Galle, and one of the few places that is still lively past 9 pm. The breakfast was great too.

We were welcomed by the host who was so friendly & professional. We arrived earlier than check in as our flight was at an earlier time but the hotel were great & offered us breakfast whilst they prepared the room…it was ready for us 3 hours prior to check in which was perfect as we were tired from our long travel. We had a little frog in the room when we arrived but the staff came quickly as soon as we told them & they removed it carefully. Everything was perfect during our stay, the facilities, the staff, the food…it was all so lovely. We loved that we could see monkey’s jumping from tree to tree around the property & big lizards roam around the grounds occasionally which was very cool! Yoga mats are kept on a rack by the pool, which you can use freely when you wish…nice touch! The price of the food in the hotel was a little more expensive than other places in Sri Lanka but actually was very reasonable price for the quality of it. We were celebrating our anniversary & the hotel went the extra mile to make our stay special. We had a private dinner in the sky bar and had the burger & tuna dishes. The burger was one of the best burgers i have ever had, so delicious! We also visited the spa & enjoyed our time there with massage/ facial/ herbal bath looking out to the sea, so wonderful. I can’t recommend this hotel enough, I hope we can visit again in the future! :-)

The hospitality of the owners was true hospitality! They made me feel like a long time family friend and took their time to chat with every single guest, you don't see that everywhere anymore! The decor of the room was super cute. And the bed was very comfortable.

What a gem of a place to stay. From the moment we arrived Kumudu and team couldn’t do enough for us. A taxi transfer from Colombo airport to Galle was easily pre arranged and meeting the driver was slick. We stayed in a superior deluxe room with jungle view for 4 nights. Facilities great and outdoor shower lovely. There was the added personal touch of having breakfast every morning served on your own terrace. Lush planting made for secluded spaces and good to have a pool too. Although the location is slightly out of the fort it’s easily accessible using a tuk-tuk and it’s only about 40-50 minutes walk if you’re feeling energetic. Special mention needs to go to Eran, the Olive’s on site tuk-tuk driver. It was so easy and reassuring to be able to message and he’d be there to pick up/drop off within minutes. It’s also possible for him to take you further afield. We did a round trip to Koggala lake, a turtle sanctuary, tea plantation and saw stilt fishermen. An absolutely wonderful introduction to Sri Lankan hospitality and we can’t wait to return.

This is a quaint and charming building located within Galle fort. The hotel exudes a strong heritage character and offers a beautifully designed space. I particularly enjoyed the iced tea served upon arrival, and the breakfast was exceptional. The hotel is conveniently within walking distance of numerous shops and restaurants, yet it remains secluded enough to ensure a peaceful night's rest. Also love the music playlist of the hotel :)

I enjoyed my stay in Galle.

I enjoyed my stay in Galle. The place was very clean and the environment was relaxing. It’s a good location to explore the city and enjoy the beach. The staff was friendly and helpful. The only downside was that the beds were a bit old and already broken, so it wasn’t very comfortable. If they fix that, it would be a much better stay. Overall, a nice experience and good value.

Plenty to do in Galle, well worth visiting.

Plenty to do in Galle, well worth visiting. Just DON’T use the White Queen, as the manager will make it very difficult for you to get any redress if there’s a problem (I was charged for a five night stay instead of Four, and only realised after payment had been taken-silly me!) Enjoy your stay, just elsewhere in Galle.

Absolutely filthy city.

Absolutely filthy city. Litter everywhere, all around the fort was dirty and had rubbish , plastic waste and broken bottles strewn around and piled up in bags. They should revoke the UNESCO rating for the fort so the government clean it up. It was months of rubbish or like a field after a festival and not just rubbish after a weekend. There were just a few rubbish bins around the ramparts but they were overflowing and broken By far the dirtiest city we have visited in Sri Lanka

The Galle Fort in Galle is my absolute favorite place — it has a vibe of its own. It’s completely safe at any time of the day, even for solo travelers. There’s so much history within the Fort walls to learn about and beautiful architecture to explore. The hosts at the restaurants and hotels inside the Fort are amazing, and the service is truly of international standard. The view of the Indian Ocean from the Ramparts is simply breathtaking. There are plenty of restaurants offering a wide variety of cuisines and dishes to try. Outside the Fort, I highly recommend visiting the beaches at Unawatuna, just a few kilometers from Galle City Centre. While you’re there, don’t miss the Japanese Peace Pagoda at Rumassala — you won’t regret it! Yaddehimulla Road in Unawatuna has everything from surf schools and restaurants to gem shops, gelato spots, international cuisines, and everything in between. For quick bites and essentials, SPAR Supermarket at Galle City Centre is your go-to place. You’ll find tasty rice and curry meals, ready-to-eat options, mosquito repellent, basic medical supplies, snacks, good-quality fruits, and other everyday necessities.

The hotel is in a small jungle. The location is super, within walking distance (around 20min) both to Wijaya beach and to the bus station (to Galle). You can also walk to several supermarkets and seafood restaurants. The breakfast is tasty, they have fresh fruits, eggs, bread with butter and jam, coffee and tea. The time when we arrived, we had welcome drink from Andrey. He is very friendly and offered us tipps traveling in and around Uwanatuna. We will definitely come back when we visit Sri Lanka again. Thank you very much, Andrey!

Warm welcome from the staff (fresh fruit juice on arrival). The hotel is in a beautiful building on a peaceful street, and only 2 minutes walk from the sea walls. The room was lovely and there is plenty of outside space to relax in. Huge bed! Great fresh Sri Lankan breakfast, and varied each morning. We would definitely stay here again if we return to Galle.

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.
