Olinda Galle

Hotel in Galle City, Galle

Ideally situated in the centre of Galle, Olinda Galle features air-conditioned rooms with free WiFi, free private parking and room service.

Olinda Galle is an exquisite hidden gem down a quiet lane near the centre of the city. From the minute you walk in the rustic wooden doors, your breath is taken away by the beautiful central pool and surroundings. The decor is full of incredible antique pieces and thoughtful touches everywhere you look. This hotel has clearly been built by a very accomplished architect and interior designer. Our room had a wrap around balcony with both large sliding doors and teak shuttered windows. In the morning we opened up both and the room was filled with light and a breeze with the sound of birds in the surrounding palms. The bed was amazingly comfortable with crispy white sheets and gorgeous soft pillows. When we came up to bed (after a truly delicious supper of octopus and prawns) we found that the room had been prepared for us with the Roman blinds pulled down and the mosquito net closed around the four poster bed. No stone is left unturned here and the attention to detail from the staff was second to none.

This beautifully restored property brings you back in time in the most elegant way. We loved every minute of our stay and our room and surrounds were unparalleled. It’s an easy still into the bustling town, but to be honest we almost felt like we didn’t want to leave. The staff were as welcoming and friendly as you could possibly imagine.

We really enjoyed our stay at Tabula Rasa. The hotel is built on a mountain in the jungle and offers an amazing pool with ocean view, very tasty food with reasonable prices and beautifully designed rooms. We loved the “digital butler” app which allowed us to order food, spa or anything else very easily with our phones. Also, the Dutch owners are wonderful and the entire staff was very kind at all times. The hotel is a 20 minutes ride to Galle. You can get a tuk tuk which will be about 15 USD for the roundtrip. In summary, we can only recommend this hidden gem.

We stayed here from December 31, 2024-January 2, 2025 and had a wonderful stay. The check-in was seamless. The rooms were spacious with clean and modern bathrooms and very charming decor full of little touches, comfy beds and our kids loved the loft in the family room! The cafe associated with the hotel had delicious western and Sri Lankan breakfast options, good coffee, and an extensive lunch and dinner menu. We had a great time playing at their foosball table. The location was the perfect walking distance to the fort walls, lighthouse and other historic restaurants and shops. The owners, Maneyika and Charles, were super friendly and went above and beyond by helping us with a small medical issue and recommending nearby attractions. Highly recommend staying here for families or couples.

Galle as a city can be quite hectic, so this property kind of is the type of place you need to relax and cool down. Elegant, spacious room and a shared pool surrounded by a beautiful garden with huge trees providing much needed shade. On top of that, fantastic host and staff :)

    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.

    Galle is a beautiful coastal city that blends colonial charm with tropical vibes. Walking through the Galle Fort feels like stepping back in time, with its cobblestone streets, vintage buildings, and ocean views at every turn. The atmosphere is peaceful yet full of character, with cozy cafés, art shops, and friendly locals. A must-visit destination for anyone exploring southern Sri Lanka!

    This is a cool city to visit. The cobblestone streets inside the fort take you back centuries & add to the fantastic historical charm of this town. There are great restaurants around Peddlers St and plenty to do exploring the fort & the nearby beaches. Unfortunately, our stay here was too short & we were unable to explore further outside the fortress walls. Save that for next time.

    We loved this small cozy hotel which was really worth the money. The pool was clean and wonderfully framed by vegetation. The monkeys jumped around in the trees and we got wonderful pictures of them. The 5 minute tuktuk ride to Galle fort, a beautiful area with lots of sights, eateries and shopping was free. At the hotel they had an unusual number of breakfast options. Everything from Sri Lankan breakfast to different pancakes and waffles and fresh fruits. The beds were comfortable and the area around the hotel was very quiet!

    I spent two weeks exploring Sri Lanka & in Galle I stayed two nights in the delightful & perfectly located, small & homely, classic style Arches Fort Hotel. The staff under the direction of the the very personable Manager Wasantha made me feel welcome - a lovely environment to be based in to explore this fascinating historic old town (& don’t miss the delicious Sri Lankan style breakfast!) I highly recommend Arches Fort Hotel for your visit to Galle.
