I stayed 3 times in Lighthouse and it is one of my favorite hotels. The reservation has been made by our organization and I used to check-in after 7pm to the hotel due to my travel. The staff understand our long journey and they never put us waiting and whenever we go the room keys are ready to check-in. I... More

I booked this hotel for my parents and family whilst they visited Sri Lanka. It did not disappoint. Having stayed here before I knew the quality was high and nothing had changed in that respect. The rooms were lovely - spacious, comfortable and amazing views. The staff could not be more helpful and the general way in which the hotel... More

This hotel is something else. My main attraction was to stay there as it is designed by the legendary architect Geoffery Bawa. I was very excited about staying here. To say that the hotel is superb is underestimating. The views are amazing, and the rooms are great. All come with their own private balconies. The property has two huge pools,... More

Galle has a remarkable history which extends to ancient times. The Galle Fort was built initially by the Portuguese and then by the Dutch East India Company (VOC). The financing techniques and legal doctrines developed by the VOC basically created the modern commercial world- the world’s first `stock exchange’ was created in Amsterdam to enable trading in VOC shares.

The rooms are absolutely beautiful, and the most comfortable beds. The room is done up so nicely, with handmade soaps, and during tea time, someone comes around offering you tea and cookies. Each room comes with a balcony with lounge chairs. It also has a nice view of the pool, just lovely for reading a book and watching the sunset... More

A group of us stayed whilst on a work trip. We all arrived separately and were welcomed warmly. The staff were very helpful in accommodating our group in the restaurant as well as helping out with some last minute printing etc. The hotel has 2 pools which are spotlessly clean, there is also a pool bar which sells good snacks....
