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.

Excellent gem 💎 of a hotel in Galle , personalized service right from the time you enter the hotel , with a great welcome , overview explanation of the room and services , nice breakfast service , staff are amazing , very hospitable , right staff for right job -something you don’t find in Europe nowadays 😅. Will definitely recommend and come back in future . Just a small observation- the metallic door stopper in the bathroom is a safety hazard , I almost cut my feet on it and upon arrival the towels could be hot instead of cold … 😆

We had a great stay at The Sun House. The staff were very friendly and helpful, the property was beautiful and the food was amazing (especially the homemade coconut ice cream!). We would love to come back!

One of the best hotel stays I've ever had and one of the highlights on my Sri Lanka trip. Comfortable accommodation, great restaurant and lovely staff. The people were very attentive and nothing was too much trouble. The front desk also helped me organise a wonderful day trip and transfers. The Sun House is also on a good location - in the hill area so it's quiet but close enough to the fort. Thoroughly recommend!

Gorgeously situated in a beautiful ex-colonial mansion, serving excellent food. 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!
