Taken over by Lakmal and his business partner in July 2018 after a couple of years being left to run down by the previous owner this hotel is a gem. Architecturally designed the building is light and airy with huge rooms and ensuites. The suite, should you choose to book it, is enormous. Located away from the centre of Galle it is only s 20 to 25 minute walk or, alternatively, enjoy a tuk-tuk ride - only 300 rupees (£1.30) to Pedley Street in the heart of Galle Fort where many if the restaurants, shops and galleries are found. However, despite all the good points mentioned above, the best feature of this hotel is the management and staff who can't do enough to make your stay the best it can be.
