This is a beautiful boutique hotel in Galle. The whole mansion is an completely renovated colonial house. They kept all the original charm though, it's really beautiful. It's right in the centre of Galle, but in a very quiet little street, which makes it ideal (centre & quiet!). The rooms are amazing, and you can see monkeys just outside your window! There is also a great swimming pool. Very highly recommended!

The building is exceptionally beautiful! We had the luck to be upgraded to a room with garden view. The whole team was super kind and supportive. The chef prepares very delicious food, both for breakfast and for dinner, in case you chose to visit the connected beachclub across the road in the evening. Thank you for the hospitality!

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%

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.

quaint and charming place, with a relaxed pace of life -- besides the Galle fort, peace tower, handloom factory, silk showroom, and spice garden, there lots of good places nearby with treks and forest trails-- mahamura, sinharaja, yala, ,kanneliya-- boon for nature lovers ! watch out for the leeches though !

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.

Arches Fort was very welcoming providing access to our room very early when we arrived after overnight travel from the UK. The room was compact but well equipped with a nice bathroom and very cofartable bed. Good wifi. The Sri Lankan breakfast was excellent. The hotel manager put us in touch with a driver to take us to our next destination at the same rate as Uber. The location is in the centre of Galle Old Fort so there are many restaurants, shops etc nearby but our room in the rear courtyard was very quiet.

This was a very comfortable and excellently located hotel. The outstanding element to our stay were the hotel staff led by Hirudima. They were delightful and Hirudima went out of his way to be helpful and friendly. He even organised a courier to deliver a bag we left behind to our next location. The hotel staff made our stay in Galle a real pleasure and were among the very best we have encountered throughout our many hotel stays in Sri Lanka.

Lovely little hotel with a perfect location in Galle Fort. We booked for one night without planning on sleeping here, instead storing our bags and using the room to rest/freshen up ahead of a late evening transfer up to Colombo for our flight home. The wonderful owner made this a memorable last stop in Sri Lanka with warm hospitality and great recommendations. We would highly recommend staying here!

This is a hidden gem in beautiful Galle Fort. The staff are exceptional, helpful and very caring. I had a bad foot whilst here and they sourced me some lotion as was concerned about my welfare. Above and beyond for a hotel. If I am ever lucky enough to return to this stunning part of Sri Lanka, I would without hesitation stay here and would definitely recommend it.

Olinda is a family run business. Every member of staff were incredibly helpful and attentive. The Hotel is a beautifully designed and decorated boutique place, a little gem and haven away from the busy streets of Galle. The meals were amazing quality & presentation exceptional. Was the best way to end our trip to Sri Lanka - thank to to all at Olinda!
