Staff are efficient and friendly. The regular rooms are evocative and very comfortable, with choice of fan and air conditioning. The lack of a television is more than compensated for by the eclectic collection of books in rooms, and communal areas. I was lucky to stay in the Galleon Suite, which is the size of an apartment, with a shower and outdoor bath! An evening dip in the pool, followed by drinks at the bar was the perfect way to end the evening. The rates are unbelievably low. Highly recommended! ##### Saliya Stayed 1 night in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Amanda 28 Jan 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Welcoming and unique boutique hotel We had a fantastic two nights at The Sun House, located up the hill from the buzz of Galle. You can easily get a tuk tuk to the forts/cricket ground. The staff are friendly and very helpful. The food was fantastic and we booked an experience with the chef to cook some Sri Lankan food. What a feast we made. The pool was a welcome rest at the end of the day. The room was comfortable with a big bathroom, balcony and a helpful mosquito net over the bed. The property is surrounded by trees for you to spot some amazing birds or even some monkeys. The lounge areas are comfy and have lots of fascinating history. A unique place to stay in Galle. ##### Amanda Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Yuvaraj 13 Feb 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Absolutely breathtaking Villa My wife and I had the most amazing experience in this hotel. From the staff, the food, the cocktails, the amenities, everything was splendid. They really do go the extra mile to make your trip wonderful. Kudos to Ronald and team for making our stay great. We stayed at the Taprobane Suite which had an outdoor bathtub which we sadly didnt use as much as we wish we did. The Gallean cocktail by their bartender with an infused arrack was my daily poison. The sri lankan breakfast followed by a dip in the pool was a great way to start the day. Overall, its 10/10 ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/58B838CCD4C3112414CC9E72AAAF7717DD005CAC1707827338377.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/5E608A0B597F5B6C1F21576A24DC5D37B26CC5E31707827344178.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/D78D38B4CFF907A2FA90B0FE9D9E44E387A58C541707827378594.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/D6768A3D5170C741F2C1CAD32203F021A9514F061707827376202.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Yuvaraj Stayed 4 nights in Feb 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Anita 17 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Ganz viel Flair, wunderbar zum Ausspannen Wir hatten einen wunderbaren Aufenthalt im The Sun House. Das Personal ist liebenswürdig und herzlich. Das geschichtsträchtige Haus wurde aufwändig renoviert und hat ganz viel Flair. Die Räume sind liebevoll dekoriert und alles ist sehr stimmungsvoll. In dieser ruhigen Anlage kann man wunderbar ausspannen und ist in 10-15 min zu Fuß in der Altstadt. Wir konnten direkt von unserem Balkon aus Affen und einen Falken beobachten. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/120c3eb2-8403-4ebd-86f0-af1510c59520-1755412704777.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/b5bde219-b7ea-4be4-b09f-d427c93f4a8c-1755412700366.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/b4ac06d1-8347-4b2b-a8b7-f3c69420d077-1755412711627.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/6b210977-f766-4d1c-a7e8-68f0c8a80565-1755412708519.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Anita Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Wolfgang 27 Mar 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities friendly, attentive staff / clean, comfortable rooms / good breakfast / nice garden and pool / a gem in galle ##### Wolfgang Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Felisa 29 Apr 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Paraiso Un lugar precioso Decoración exquisita y cuidada de un gusto extraordinario La atención y el trato son impecables La Ubicación magnífica por tranquila y sin embargo, muy accesible a los lugares que hay que visitar ##### Felisa Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Felisa 27 Apr 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Paraiso Un lugar exquisito en cuanto a decoración , comodidad atenciones y trato Precioso Un remanso de paz y belleza ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/EF47F2BA095753889278A6E18B487059D9AE1F601714250199699.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/C01033E0770A3357B565BB1B8E04E8EE6AAEAACF1714250241024.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/2EA6A1E02D579A2569EDF959032615068C4EC41F1714250260255.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/9A7E26F51ED3BE5C1E2D4EAEC35119094E2D6F5A1714250284726.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Felisa Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Georg 27 Jan 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort \+ Schön renovierte Anlage im Kolonialstil; schöne Pool- und Gartenanlage; netter Besitzer und Personal; super Frühstück - Zimmer eher klein ##### Georg Stayed 1 night in Jan 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 19 Feb 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities This is the most beautiful old house originally owned by a Scottish spice merchant. The furniture is attractive, the gardens and setting gorgeous and the food delicious. There are loads of books you can borrow.You wish it was your own house! The staff are so helpful and kind. Our son told us to visit as he had been there last summer. We are so glad we followed his advice. This was quite the best place we stayed in in Sri Lanka and we hope we can go back for longer next time. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 5 Dec 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities Excellent boutique hotel in a very beautiful and historic house ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Nov 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 10 Sept 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities We stayed here on the recommendation of a friend and it went beyond expectations!

Beautiful interior, secluded, excellent service and very good food. Beautiful small pool in private garden. Dinner on the verandah was a highlight. 10-15 mins walk to the fort and the old town. Steep on price for the facilities on offer compared with other places we have stayed so far on our trip. But you will not regret staying there. ##### Verified traveller ### 8/10 Good #### Natalie 17 Feb 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort #### Super hotel in great location Fantastic spot with great staff. We very much enjoyed the cinnamon suite and the super breakfasts. We felt the hotel was starting to need just a Little Love around the edges to bring it back to its rightful place as one of he best places to stay in galle. It’s in a great location - away from the hustle and bustle of the fort but yet just a very short and cheap tuk tuk ride away. Beach also accessible with v short tuk tuk. Fantastic interiors and lots of wonderful books ##### Natalie Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2018 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Cinnamon Citadel Kandy](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kandy-Hotels-Cinnamon-Citadel-Kandy.h4031542.Hotel-Information) > > [Cinnamon Bentota Beach – Signature Selection](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bentota-Hotels-Cinnamon-Bentota-Beach.h36466861.Hotel-Information) > > [Sun Siyam Pasikudah](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pasikuda-Hotels-Sun-Siyam-Pasikudah.h9272270.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Sigiriya](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sigiriya-Hotels-Hotel-Sigiriya.h1609730.Hotel-Information) > > [Pandanus Beach Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Induruwa-Hotels-Pandanus-Beach-Resort-Spa.h11289546.Hotel-Information) > > [Vivanta Colombo, Airport Garden](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Seeduwa-Katunayake-Hotels-Vivanta-Colombo.h526350.Hotel-Information) > > [Sheraton Kosgoda Turtle Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kosgoda-Hotels-Sheraton-Kosgoda-Turtle-Beach-Resort.h48743974.Hotel-Information) > > [Thaproban Pavilion Waves Unawatuna](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Unawatuna-Hotels-Thaproban-Pavilion-Waves-Unawatuna.h20583896.Hotel-Information) > > [Avani Kalutara Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kalutara-Hotels-Avani-Kalutara-Resort.h4031708.Hotel-Information) > > [The Fortress Resort & Spa Galle](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Koggala-Hotels-The-Fortress-Resort-Spa.h7821441.Hotel-Information) > > [Kahanda Kanda](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Angulugaha-Hotels-Kahanda-Kanda.h11263998.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Riu Sri Lanka - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ahungalla-Hotels-Hotel-Riu-Sri-Lanka-All-Inclusive.h14754284.Hotel-Information) > > [Taj Bentota Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bentota-Hotels-Taj-Bentota-Resort-Spa.h581365.Hotel-Information) > > [go camping](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Go-Camping.h23256271.Hotel-Information) > > [Weligama Bay Marriott Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Weligama-Hotels-Weligama-Bay-Marriott-Resort-Spa.h19413442.Hotel-Information) > > [Cape Weligama - Relais and Chateaux](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Weligama-Hotels-Cape-Weligama-Relais-And-Chateaux.h11470023.Hotel-Information) > > [Ceylon Tea Trails - Relais and Chateaux - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Norwood-Hotels-Ceylon-Tea-Trails.h4045356.Hotel-Information) > > [98 Acres Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ella-Hotels-98-Acres-Resort-Spa.h15504051.Hotel-Information) > > [The Westbury Palace](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nuwara-Eliya-Hotels-The-Westbury-Palace.h48402950.Hotel-Information) > > [Shangri-La Hambantota](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hambantota-Hotels-Shangri-La-Hambantota.h15083331.Hotel-Information) > > [Amaya Beach Pasikudah](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pasikuda-Hotels-Amaya-Beach-Pasikudah.h6780993.Hotel-Information) > > [The Sandhya](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ahangama-Hotels-The-Sandhya.h18099343.Hotel-Information) > > [Cinnamon Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Habarana-Hotels-Cinnamon-Lodge.h1854476.Hotel-Information) > > [Habarana Village by Cinnamon](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Habarana-Hotels-Habarana-Village-By-Cinnamon.h4031747.Hotel-Information) > > [Shinagawa Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Balapitiya-Hotels-Shinagawa-Beach.h7672790.Hotel-Information) > > [Heritance Ahungalla](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ahungalla-Hotels-Heritance-Ahungalla.h1526822.Hotel-Information) > > [Anantara Peace Haven Tangalle Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tangalle-Hotels-Anantara-Peace-Haven-Tangalle-Resort.h11229814.Hotel-Information) > > [W15 Weligama](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Weligama-Hotels-W15.h11560777.Hotel-Information) > > [Talalla Retreat](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Talalla-Hotels-Talalla-Retreat.h7088443.Hotel-Information) > > [Cinnamon Bey Beruwala](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Beruwala-Hotels-Cinnamon-Bey-Beruwala.h8256226.Hotel-Information)
