Guest Reviews
- Marjorie (6/5): Très bien si ce n’est le prix par rapport aux autres logements existants - Très bon emplacement, le personnel etait très aimable et a l’écoute La chambre n’a pas de fenêtre (toute petite sans vue) on s’est senti un peu enfermé, le drap housse était usé c’est même déchiré , nous avons branché nos 2 téléphones et la prise a sauté … bref rien de grave mais trop cher pour ce logement
- GEOFF (9/5): -
- Janine (8/5): Excellent accommodation, staff great, location excellent - The location was one street back from rampart walls and the lighthouse. The Sri Lankan breakfast was great. The air conditioning worked perfectly which was needed as hot during afternoon. TV and kettle didn’t work. The multi plug adapter was a little rusty. It didn’t matter but just take TV out.
- Tim (9/5): I thoroughly enjoyed my stay and everyone was most welcoming and helpful. Many thanks, Tim - It was very comfortable in an excellent location. Breakfast was great taken outside in the street which was ideal for people watching. The bathroom was slightly small and could have benefitted from a squeegee to remove water.
- Claire (10/5): Very special place to call home for 4 days - highly recommend - We loved our 4 night stay at the charming family run Antic Guesthouse managed by Ifran who with the team went above and beyond to make our stay memorable.
Aliment restaurant/cafe onsite - lovely staff serving great breakfast daily & we also enjoyed some delicious Sri Lankan Curries.
Jewellery shop also onsite - bought a beautiful ring which was reasonably priced.
We were lucky enough to be taken out on the first local sight seeing tour in their brand new tuk tuk which was a lovely experience 🤗 Nothing
- Henry (8/5): - The room decor. TV didn't work.
- Catherine (9/5): Recommend a visit here and would come here again - A great location. An excellent breakfast across the road at the cafe.
Very clean, great shower and comfortable bed right in the middle of Galle Fort.
The local residents were very friendly and the owners had a lovely jewellery shop beneath the guest house.
- Harry (10/5): - Great location in the old fort. Very friendly owners.
Beautiful breakfast next door. Good size room.
- Callow (9/5): -
- XIN (9/5): 舒适,干净,服务优秀! - 早餐简单美味,闹中取静。位于古堡,逛古堡,酒吧都很方便。 房间隔音效果需要加强。
- LAETITIA (10/5): -
- Carolyn (10/5): A great place to stay at a reasonable price - We were able to easily access the ramparts. The room was spacious and provided everything we needed.
- Marianne (9/5): Tolle, saubere und farbenfrohe Unterkunft - Unser Zimmer mit dem kleinen Balkon war mit hübschen Möbeln sehr individuell eingerichtet. Wir haben uns sofort wohl gefühlt. Die Matratze war sehr bequem und die Dusche die Beste, welche wir auf unserer Sri Lanka Reise bis anhin angetroffen. hatten. Alles hat gepasst. Auch das Personal war zuvorkommend und sehr nett, inklusive das Frühstück im gegenüberliegenden kleinen Restaurant. Das Zimmer war ein wenig hellhörig. Durch die Zimmerdecke hat man den Fernseher des oberen
Gastes gehört. Der Besitzer hätte uns freundlicherweise ein anderes Zimmer angeboten, aber wir wollten nicht wechseln. Mit Ohropax in den Ohren verbrachten wir eine ruhige zweite Nacht.
Wir würden diese künstlerisch gestaltete Unterkunft wieder wählen.
- Francesca (10/5): Antic Guesthouse in Galle was the perfect stay, peaceful, beautifully kept, incredibly welcoming, and in the best locati - We had the most beautiful stay at Antic Guesthouse in Galle. The location is perfect, peaceful but still close to everything, and just a short walk to the beach and Galle Fort. The rooms were spotless, comfortable and full of charm, with thoughtful little touches that made it feel homely rather than just a place to sleep.
- Matt (7/5): - Clean tidy staff were very helpfull Quite loud outside
- Ruth (9/5): So glad we chose this little hotel. The room and bathroom were spotless with very quiet air conditioning. So enjoyed o - Perfect location and quirky bedroom. Enjoyed our breakfast in the cafe opposite as part of our room deal. There wasn’t anything not to like!

- WENHAO (10/5): -
- Tom (9/5): Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt und würden wieder kommen. - Die Lage mitten in der Altstadt von Galle war perfekt um 2 Nächte in bester Lage die Stadt zu erkunden.
Gastgeber sehr freundlich, gutes Frühstück im Restaurant direkt gegenüber. Nix

- Laura (9/5): A nice, comfortable stay in a nice en suite room with a large bed. Great value for money. - A traditional beautifully maintained building. Very good value for money right in the middle of Galle Fort. I was en route, so arrived late and left early and the hosts were welcoming and helpful by providing a take away breakfast in and arranging a taxi to take me to the station early the next morning. Nothing.
- LUCIANO NICOLA (7/5): Piacevole - Posizione
- Gareth (10/5): Charming relaxing stay - Location brilliant and the staff were great, breakfast was delicious. Nothing
- DAVID (9/5): - Ubicación
- Ramasamy (3/5): - Waste of money
- LAURENT (8/5): ANTIC GUESTHOUSE: Comfortable yet basic room in good location in central Galle. - Breakfast was OK (served across the street), very good location in central Galle (inside fortifications). Hammock inside the room. Stairs (No elevator) and busy street but quiet room. Very friendly manager ! Very light (glass) and not sound-proof door. Just door with a lock. Basic amenities and room has no window. Good for 1 night if you are only looking for a place to crash.
- Tharinka (10/5): -
- Christian (8/5): - Meget venlige værter og en juveler butik hvor man får virkelig god service og vejledning. Ligger centralt i Galle fort og har en rigtig god resturant tilknyttet.

- Jan Jurjen (9/5): Fantastische plek om Galle te ontdekken - Galle is prachtig en de accommodatie is midden in het oude fort. Leuk personeel dat ook erg behulpzaam is. Lekker ontbijt Onze kamer was gehorig
- Rami (10/5): -
- NEHA (1/5): Not worth the money and they will spoil your mood. Better avoid - The location was good . But the stairs and the room was uncomfortable The room had a slanting roof and hence they are smaller than pictures. they didn’t clean the room for 2 days. Breakfast wasn’t available until 9 am and the staff is very rude. They made comments about my country and made me feel unwelcome. I checked out early as I was feeling unsafe.
- Daniel (8/5): Unterkunft liegt wunderbar im Kolonialstädtchen, alles ist fussläufig zu erreichen. - - hat guten Charme, sehr schön gemacht
- tolle Lage in schöner Gasse
- Bezahlung mit Kreditkarte möglich - sehr schwaches Internet, Seitenaufbau braucht ewig
. sehr kleines Zimmerfenster
- Eingangstüre verglast, somit in der Nacht teilweise Licht von Gang
- sehr ringhörig innerhalb des Gebäudes
- Tanja (7/5): Schönes Zimmer, aber nicht viel mehr - Schönes Zimmer, nette Frühstücksoption im Restaurant gegenüber (inklusive) W-Lan hat in unserem Zimmer überhaupt nicht funktioniert. Zimmer wurde nicht gereinigt, obwohl wir drei Nächte da waren
- Jeanne (9/5): -
- bernardkruger (9/5): All the historic charm of the Fort itself - The small town inside the walls of Galle Fort is a charming place, and this guesthouse exudes all its historic character. I loved my room -- spacious, tall ceiling, historic accents -- and a very comfortable bathroom. Breakfast was served across the road at a little restaurant affiliated with the guesthouse, where I also enjoyed dinner and excellent service.
- César (8/5): - Great location. A bit noisy
- Max (9/5): - the location is great and the people are kind. With the restaurant, you can sit right at the street, which makes for a nice experience. The food is also good. The host can teach you a lot about precious stones, which is very interesting.
- Konstantin (10/5): Благостно. - Отдыхали 4 ночи. Отличный отель! В старой части города. 100 метров и пляж, правда не совсем приспособлен, но в этом месте и не пляжный отдых. История! Отель в старинном здании, персонал супер. Узнали что у супруги день рождения и уже на завтраке поздравили - тортик, цветы, песня! Просто супер! Единственно надо быть готовым что в номере нет шкафа для одежды, но есть комод, и сейфа. Все понравилось!
- Phillip (9/5): Great stylish stay in the heart of Galle. - This place is the epitome of shabby Chic, an old building restored with charm and a lovely modern bathroom.
The location was fabulous right in the heart of the old fort, opposite a very popular restaurant. It was perfect for a stay in Galle.
- Marie (10/5): Great guesthouse in good location - Lovely guesthouse in a fantastic location within Galle Fort. Easy, safe walking around to all attractions and restaurants. Basic rooms with good aircon and comfortable beds. The breakfast at the restaurant each morning was the highlight - lovely food and great staff. Will defintely stay again. only issue was Wifi was a bit hit and miss in the rooms, but good at the restaurant.

- Andrea (7/5): -
- Benjamin (10/5): -
- Arif Uz (10/5): - Everything Nothing
- Ana María (9/5): Hotel muy bonito y fenomenal ubicado en Galle - Ubicación.Amabilidad del staff.
Decoración de la habitación. Podrían poner una mesita a los dos lados de la cama.
La cama es muy grande y no sé puede enchufar nada en los laterales de la cama.
Wifi de la TV no funcionaba.
- Simone (10/5): Our accommodation was comfortable and the town was vibrant and interesting. - The staff (and in particular Sampat) were absolutely amazing. They went over and above our expectations to help us out in any and every way possible. They are the most friendly and approachable people.
- Francesco (9/5): - Posizione ottima, camera pulita e curata e staff super gentile, che ci ha preparato una piccola colazione al sacco vista la nostra necessità di partire presto il giorno successivo. Un peccato esserci fermati così poco.
- Rebecca (10/5): A Charming Stay in the Heart of Galle Fort - Antic Guesthouse is a true gem in historic Galle Fort. The rooms are spacious, clean, and comfortable, with air conditioning and a quaint charm that fits perfectly with the surroundings.
The hosts are incredibly welcoming, relaxed, and helpful, making you feel right at home from the moment you arrive. There’s a lovely sense of community and calm here that sets it apart.
Breakfast is served at a café just across the street, and it’s fantastic—delicious food with excellent service.
The location is unbeatable—perfect for soaking in the atmosphere and watching the world go by from this unique and historic setting.
Highly recommend for anyone wanting an authentic, peaceful Galle Fort experience.
- Meggie (10/5): - Bonne situation géographique et loterie confortable
- Todd (10/5): Exceptional - Excellent location, great host. Very helpful and friendly. Lovely room
- Clare (5/5): Pleasant. The staff are great but the room needs a little work. - Great location. Staff are very nice and the breakfast is delicious. The room I was in was literally under the roof space and it was very hot. The aircon didn’t work properly so this was an issue. A desk in the room would have been good.
- Tirion (10/5): Exceptional - Very friendly staff, great location and very comfortable room. Thank you!
- Warren (10/5): The True Heart of Galle - This is probably the best location in ALL of Fort Galle. Everything is a couple minutes away at most. Family is extremely accommodating, the room is beautifully designed, and its really comfortable.
- Benjamin (7/5): Good -
- Damien (8/5): Very good - The room was very good and comfortable.
- Fathima (10/5): Excellent guesthouse - Everything is perfect,staff looked after us very well.
Facilities at the hotel was excellent,heart of Galle fort and convenient for everything.
- Liam (10/5): Exceptional - Staff were very helpful, giving bits of advice and arranging transport to next destination at a fair rate. Nice room, clean and tidy. Breakfast was brilliant There was nothing not to like!
- Jaroslaw (9/5): Super nice and cozy stay - Location is top, in a most desired part of Galle. We liked stylish design of this historic building. Room was clean, with everything to make for a comfy stay. But what really made our stay special was hotel manager, taking special care of us, and helping with some travel re-arrangements when our travel plans changed.
Oh, and breakfast was simply the best.
- Tamara (8/5): Gorgeous Antic in the heart of this the quant Galle Fort - Loved the location, friendliness of staff and the look and feel of Antic.
The environment was quaint with a gorgeous cafe in close proximity. The bed was a little hard and the internet was weak,
- Tania (3/5): Extremely disappointing and hugely overpriced for what was offered. - The breakfast was good, without being exceptional, but I very much appreciated being offered a Sri Lankan breakfast, as opposed to just a Western one.
The location was great, being near the Fort and the beach. But apart from that, I really didn't like the place or feel comfortable or welcome there. I will NEVER return there; I will NEVER recommend anyone to stay at this place for one important reason: internet connectivity totally SUCKED!!! And unfortunately, I really needed it to work, but it didn't! This absolutely NOT a value for money place. Having to share my room and bathroom with resident geckos was SCAREY! The stairs to the rooms are not exactly user friendly for older people. I really felt the lack of a balcony where one could sit and enjoy the scenery and catch some fresh air.
- Marta (10/5): Exceptional - The personal were very gentle.
- Andrew (8/5): Excellent location with charming local cafe opposite - I ate breakfast at the cafe opposite. Great hoppers and fruit platters. Coffee variable The breakfast service got slower and slower
- Andrea (6/5): Honestly not recommended - Location Bathroom: a small hole!
Lazy staff: instead of making breakfast, the guy was buying the tickets for the lottery. I had to leave at 9:00AM, breakfast was supposed to be at 08:30 but got mine at 08:45. An old messy man prepared the bill with uncertainty. Nice people but lazy
75 USD per night isn’t worth staying here
- Brendan (9/5): Superb -
- Aleksei (10/5): Exceptional -
- Isma (10/5): excellent - their services and all i like it
- Susan (8/5): We appreciated the location, the delicious breakfast and the staff who were keen to ensure that our stay was enjoyable. - Excellent breakfast. Friendly staff. Easy, quick check in. Perfect location to explore Galle Fort. I didn’t love the ‘wet room’ bathroom. Even though the water from the shower drained quickly, I’m not a fan of wet surfaces on the sink and toilet.
- Diane (10/5): Wonderful stay in a great location with lovely staff and a special shout out to Sampath! - We really like the location within the fort area with lots of little shops and restaurants nearby to visit. Sampath the hotel manager, was the friendliest and most helpful person and even arranged a little evening soirée on our balcony for us to celebrate my birthday. The hotel is a little quirky with a gem store underneath and a cafe opposite for breakfast. This is our second stay here and we would definitely stay there again if we were in Sri Lanka. Our room was on the first floor and the noise of people walking in the room above was quite loud in the morning.
- Jed (10/5): Exceptional - Loved the whole vibe, the rooms are so nicely appointed
- Yeliz (10/5): Exceptional -
- Haley (9/5): Excellent stay - This was a perfect, cozy little room right in the middle of everything you want in Galle fort. The staff was super friendly and helpful.
- Seyit (9/5): Superb - Good location, comfortable room Poor wi-fi, poor breakfast
- Yuchen (8/5): Very good -
- Graham (9/5): Superb -
- Helmut (10/5): Top - Very nice room, perfect service, in the Center of the fort.
- Hannah (9/5): Great Location. Delicious Breakfast -
- Cannane (9/5): Superb -
- Raymond (6/5): Basic accommodation in a good location - The room was up stairs, but help available with suitcases. The room was rustic with limited power points for chargers. The location was convenient being in the old town Fort, with many small shops and restaurants and quite close to sea wall walking area. staff were helpful. Availability of power or USB points and the wifi was quite weak. Comfortable in room seating would be appreciated and the room doors had rather primitive locks prompting slight security concerns. Included Breakfast was across the road, basic and limited to “Sri Lankan” food, which surprised us.
- Deanne (8/5): Very good -
- Seyit (10/5): Exceptional - Nice location, nice room
- Dave (6/5): Very poor value at this price! - Great location Couldn’t get any help whatsoever on arrival about where the dialog store was (my phone had been disconnected making life difficult).
My bed had only 1 thin sheet so was too cold with a/c or too hot without.
Reception was closed morning and afternoon during my stay.
The included breakfast was revolting.
The WiFi was unusably bad.
The electric kettle was in dangerous condition.
- Matthew (8/5): Very good -
- Mavipelikan (6/5): Great location, authentic building, definitely needs a big renovation... - The location of the facility was great. It was an old, very well designed, clean building. Everything in the room looked like antique; the doors, ceiling, furniture... The room was smelling very nice. The room was ok for 2 people. The bathroom was clean. The breakfast was nice, traditional one. We booked a room for 3 three people but they offered us a mattress on the floor for our daughter and it was a very old and damaged one. We decided to sleep on the double bed altogether. (She is 15) The water heater was broken and caused a hand burnt. The AC was so loud, although we didn't use it, since the other guests used them every half an hour it made a huge noise; we couldn't sleep all night long. You also had to listen the people walking upstairs and using the bathroom.
The facility definitely needs a renovation and the Acs must be changed.
