This delightful villa, just outside the city centre ($2 tuk tuk ride) is a stylish, incredibly welcoming and comfortable oasis from the heat and mayhem of Galle. The staff will consistently go the extra yard to ensure that you are comfortable and feel welcome and relaxed. The property is undergoing some extensions which certainly had no impact on my stay and look as though they will be a wonderful addition to an already magnificent property. I highly recommend and it would certainly be my only choice should I return in the future!

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.

Amazing villa in galle
An unusual property with beautiful gardens. Our room was huge. We are are family of 4 and there were 2 floors for us. Wonderful. Kanagaraja looked after us well. Very helpful. A generous breakfast and strong coffee- marvellous! We walked to Galle Fort- roads aren’t so easy to walk on in Sri Lanka but tuk tuks are easy to pick up, cheap and quick. And fun!

Decent villa outside of Galle Fort
We stayed here for two nights in February. Its not really a hotel in the conventional sense more a shared villa. There is always a staff presence on-site but English is limited at times. We booked a suite and the room was vast and split over two floors and was clean although lacked sufficient lighting. All in all it was a very nice room. The hotel itself doesn't really have any services or facilities so it made booking onward travel a little tricky but we still managed it. Its location is outside of Galle itself so you really need to get a tuk tuk although they are cheap (about £2 - £3 to Galle Fort) and everywhere. All in all its a decent option for those who don't want to pay the premium for staying in the fort area. We paid about £50 a night which was just about OK as Galle does seem to be more expensive than other Sri Lankan cities.

Fantastic stay!
This place was a classy 11/10 type of stay! Amazing place run by wonderfully helpful people. The Villa and rooms are immaculately kept and the breakfast was delicious. These guys were eager to please and super helpful with arranging tuks for us and giving us the low down of the area. I would highly recommend this place to anyone.

The villa and its ground was beautiful. The staff were friendly and helpful. The room was comfortable and clean. However the villa is near a mosque which had regular broadcast to prayer from as early as 4.30 am in the morning!

Best Place to Stay in Galle!
From the moment we entered Villa White Queen our every need was attended to. We were greeted with a refreshing welcome drink, and shown to our lovely private room. The place had a great air-conditioning system, the bathroom was big, with a hot shower and plenty of room to get ready in the morning. The bedroom was spacious with a nice bed and great television viewing options. There were ample electrical sockets for us to charge all our electronics, it was perfect. Despite all these good features, the best thing about the place is the Host. He is very kind and really goes out of his way to make sure all your needs are accommodated. He even ran two beach towels all the way to us at the train station after we accidentally left them on the balcony, after we had checked out. I would definitely recommend this to a friend, and if I return to Galle would 100% stay here again!

Lovely Villa
We had a lovely stay here for 2 nights. The villa is beautiful and the room clean and comfortable. It's has so much potential to be a little bit more though. We had doors out into the garden from our room, but there was nowhere for us to sit out. Just a little suggestion. Owner was there during our stay and was very helpful with tips etc. Even drove us out to Jungle Beach. Very kind and attentive staff too.

Amazing villa - great hospitality
We had an amazing time at Villa White Queen. It is the most stunning building, beautifully designed. Our room was spacious, beautiful, tastefully furnished with a lovely view of the garden. The hospitality was unbelievable. Our room and the bathroom was decorated with fresh temple flowers everyday. We got pots of tea and complimentary water, the breakfast was great. An oasis of calm in a bustling city. Very easy to get to the main attractions of Galle Fort - either by a 10 minute tuktuk ride or a 20 minute walk. We enjoyed our stay thoroughly.

Très belle villa pour visiter Galle
Hôtel bien placé pour visiter Galle. La villa est située dans un grand jardin paysagé clos de murs. La chambre était immense avec une mezzanine, très propre et décorée dans un esprit contemporain. La villa présente de grands volumes avec bassin intérieur, de grandes colonnes. Le personnel est très agréable et disponible.

Voor verbetering vatbaar
Villa White Queen is, zoals de naam al doet vermoeden, een prachtige, grote villa, met dito tuin. Wat we als storend hebben ervaren is de gebrekkige communicatie met het onwennige personeel, een groepje jonge knapen. Slechts een enkeling sprak verstaanbaar Engels. Verder hadden de grote kamers gebrekkige verlichting, geen koelkastje en geen koffie- en theefaciliteiten.

The villa is built as an old roman villam with an open patio with pillars untill the roof and a pond in the floor. The rooms are spacious. Super safe and quiet. A lovely garden in which you can have breakfast.

lugn oas som bas
det var skönt att ha detta stilla boende som bas för att upptäcka Galle. vi promenerade fram och tillbaka till Fort-omtådet, men en trishaw kostar 300-400 lkr och då slipper man svett och motion. väldigt behaglig personal, vackert hus, vacker dukning. Nästan meditativt
