This beautifully restored property brings you back in time in the most elegant way. We loved every minute of our stay and our room and surrounds were unparalleled. It’s an easy still into the bustling town, but to be honest we almost felt like we didn’t want to leave. The staff were as welcoming and friendly as you could possibly imagine.

We loved our stay at the Mer.Chant. The flawlessly designed hotel is built around an old market place and staff is happy to tell visitors about the history of the place. Everyone was very welcoming, our room was beautiful and the food delicious. We will definitely miss the coconut water and local fruit for breakfast just as much as hopper night on Wednesday!

Beautifully renovated building in the historic Fort area, helpful friendly staff and an excellent breakfast. The hotel surprises with nice little details, like coffee ready for you outside your room in the morning or an excellent home made ice tea as a welcome drink. It is worth staying over night within the Fort as the area is showing its magic at sunset and early in the morning.

    The vibe that Galle fort shares during anytime of the day is marvelous. It is a super child friendly place with amazing shops and places at every corner. It has the ambience of a unique blend between antiquity and modernity filled with aesthetic taste of rich culture and art. Seems its potential is still untapped fully. Loved the eateries and little cafes designed with elegance and charm. It showcases the serenity of a typical European port city with Dutch colonial architecture.

    We originally had one full day planned at Galle but we ended up being there for longer. We didn't need to be there any longer than one day. The walk around the Fort was lovely but there were not really many good shops to see and it was a little touristy in the Fort. Unfortunately they still let cars and motorbikes and Tuk Tuks in the street of the Fort which was difficult to navigate. Not really much to do in Galle except for the Fort.

    Galle is a beautiful coastal city that blends colonial charm with tropical vibes. Walking through the Galle Fort feels like stepping back in time, with its cobblestone streets, vintage buildings, and ocean views at every turn. The atmosphere is peaceful yet full of character, with cozy cafés, art shops, and friendly locals. A must-visit destination for anyone exploring southern Sri Lanka!

    This is a cool city to visit. The cobblestone streets inside the fort take you back centuries & add to the fantastic historical charm of this town. There are great restaurants around Peddlers St and plenty to do exploring the fort & the nearby beaches. Unfortunately, our stay here was too short & we were unable to explore further outside the fortress walls. Save that for next time.

    We chose this hotel because it seemed a nice place to recover from our long flight. We were not disappointed! We had a room with a lovely patio/balconny and we really enjoyed the pool and garden. The room was huge and looked great. Same goes for the bathroom. We loved the whole set-up. Sri Lankan breakfast was great too. Egg hoppers and fruit! The hotel arranged airport transport for us as well as a great tuktuk driver at competive prices. Galle fort was a bit of a walk. But then again, we knew a great tuktuk driver.

    It’s in the thick of Galle fort, we wanted a taste of a small European style coastal stay and that’s exactly what we got. You can literally stumble out of bed and be sitting at a sidewalk cafe in a matter of seconds. It’s the perfect location to explore the fort without any additional travel time needed. The breakfast that is served is traditional Sri Lankan style breakfast and the staff and the staff talk you through it and how to eat it. Which felt both educational and empowering.

    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.
