Fantastic hotel. Beautiful rooms, lovely property, friendly and effective staff. The location just outside Galle Fort is perfect, a short walk or even shorter tuk tuk ride up the hill and the peace and sanctuary of historic Sun House.
Just wish we could have stayed longer.

Absolutely amazing one night for the last night in Sri Lanka for our honeymoon. The staff and the manager were absolutely brilliant and looked after us so well. I have to compliment the chef too, we had dinner there and the prawns were some of the best we’ve had. Such a gorgeous end to our trip. Thanks Taru villas!

Incredible stay at the Charleston. The service is unbeatable and the staff were incredibly thoughtful and kind. The complimentary laundry was a most expected.

The location of this accommodation was ideal and the staff were excellent! They were incredibly friendly and helpful, which made the stay very welcoming and comfortable. Breakfast was incredible and I was even offered more, despite being totally full!

The house was beautiful. Prasad, our concierge, was super helpful. All staff at their sister hotel were friendly too. We had full use of their restaurant and facilities.

Mohan, the manager was extremely accommodating making gorgeous breakfasts and real cinnamon tea. The homestay is a really nice place to stay, in a quiet location but easily accessible to walk to the Fort and other local attractions. Tuk Tuks are made available with local drivers at a reasonable price to access the beach areas etc.This is the place to stay on anyone's plans visiting Sri Lanka. Finally many thanks to Harsha for his Hospitality.

The Dutch Bungalow in Galle Fort is perfectly located with easy access to everything in the old town. The rooms are clean, spacious, and very comfortable. The staff are extremely polite and hospitable, making you feel genuinely welcome throughout your stay. The local Sri Lankan breakfast served in the courtyard was excellent and a real highlight. Highly recommended for a relaxed stay in Galle Fort.

We loved our stay at Ceylon Olive. Kumudu & Era could not have done more for us during our stay, even when I had made a mistake about booking the wrong room; they quickly helped us move to another.
They helped us book excursions and recommendations on where to eat or visit. We would love to come back and visit in the future! Thank you for making our first trip to Sri Lanka so special!

Huge characterful and comfortable room in the converted old building.
Very well located in the Fort area.
Staff and service were very good.
Nice bar area and cocktail menu. We didn't use the restaurant except for breakfast (which was OK but basic).
In the library suite there is a huge bathtub (advised on arrival beyond the capability of hot water supply to fill) as well as a good shower.
There is a slight privacy issue with this suite, seating in the restaurant area is the other side of the...

The hotel was absolutely excellent, very comfortable, lovely staff, amazing breakfast and a beautiful pool area. It’s slightly out of town but a short tuk tuk ride away from the main sights and worth it for the historic building and setting.
