Olinda Galle is a small, super charming, very well located hotel just a 20 min from Galle center. The rooms are very spacious and cozy, the baths which were built to incorporate nature are a true privilege experience. The delicious breakfast, served on the terrace area outside of the room is also a highlight . The owner and host is super kind and attentive. Every minute of our stay was truly special. C’est digne d’un hôtel 5 étoiles

Breakfast was amazing, it was very plentiful and the chef made everything himself, including all the little cakes and the bread. Chilli eggs with tomato was exceptional. Fruit platter was always so well presented.

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! :-)

Amazing hotel, with the best bathroom we ever had in Sri Lanka. Comfortable bed. Perfect location, in the fort, close to so many restaurants and shops. Even if you are right in the center, the room was super quiet. A/C and ceiling fan, very useful. Would definitely recommend!

It was an amazing stay, biggest thanks to the owner Kumudu and his staff. The location of the property is great - everything is easy reachable by tuk tuk - the Galle center, great beaches, restaurants and so on. We really loved our superior deluxe room with jungle view, we even saw monkeys up close from our terrace! Room had an amazing outdoor shower which we loved very much, room was very spacious and equipped with everything that you might need like the shampoo, shower gel, soap, hairdryer, high quality mosquito net, tea kettle etc. We also loved traditional Sri Lankan breakfast every morning. Overall it was a very peaceful, relaxing stay with a beautiful surroundings and a feeling like you are staying in the middle of a jungle. Thank you once again Kumudu, our biggest recommendations to stay in Ceylon Olive Galle when in Sri Lanka.

The breakfast was to die for and the room was so nice and clean! The design and shape of the room is unique but as a design enthusiast, I really enjoyed it! One of the staff members ran after my tuktuk because I left my water bottle. They were all so kind! Would stay here again 100%

    If you're going to Galle, stay inside the Fort. Lots of charming little villas and boutique hotels where you can drop your bags and go walkabout, soaking in the colonial charm and enjoying the relaxed vibe. Great food options, live music and incredible sunsets.

    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 cannot enough stress how much we loved staying with at this hotel. Indika is a fantastic host, he cooks the best fish, and really makes you feel at home. The location is amazing and the whole family loved it. It is 4 inutes from a turtle farm, 4 minutes from elephant riding and 20 min from Galle and really fun surfing. It is really REALLY good value from money. Would def go back next time I come to Sri Lanka,

    Lovely colonial hotel in the heart of historic Galle! Standard rooms are small but very nice and comfortable. Shower was great, good pressure. The staff was very friendly and helpful. There was kettle for tea/coffee, drinking water and ice available. We ordered Sri Lankan breakfast and it was delicious, with fresh coconut roti, dahl, eggs, fresh fruit salad, curd…

The owner of the hotel was great, very helpful and he made sure our stay was good. The breakfast was amazing, the choice of Sri Lankan breakfast, and the classic one. The room was spacious and had all the amenities we needed.

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.
