We had a wonderful 2-night stay at this property; the staff were extremely helpful and knowledgeable.
From the exiting hustle of the fort, the quiet and calmness of the property is just what is needed.

The property is very nicely renovated - but the staff really make the experience, Supun and his crew are some of the best hosts I have come across. Strongly recommend.

Thambilli House was just terrific, rooms, staff, open areas, pool and location ideal for a Galle Fort visit. This was our 3rd stay at The Fort and by far the best accommodation so far. Only surprise was that the room did not have a bar fridge, quite unusual from our perspective.

a true example of dutch colonial house. beautifully restored with the right balance of number of rooms (we counted 3 only) and the shared spaces. A fantastic open space breakfast space under the arches. Small pool that nobody uses, friendly and efficient staff, eager to please and be of service. recommended if you want to have the best stay in Galle

When we arrived, the top management has messed up our room. Instead of sea view room, we got another room. After spending more than 2 hours arguing with the management, the property Manager Malindu managed to get us our room. He was amazing. Making sure property is running smoothly with no hassle. And made sure guest were taken care of at any expense. Overall cleanliness and services were top notch! Hats off to Malindu and the in-house chef for making guests welcome, even though the top management is treating the guests like garbage!

Ideal location. Front room had view of the sea through lovely frangipanis. Pool swims at night refreshing.
Be sure to tell the staff the night before if you want a Sri Lankan style breakfast or you will be stuck with a continental breakfast. Helpful staff. Lovely old building tastefully decorated with great air conditioning.

Staying in a 300 year old beautiful villa that once belonged to a spice trader. The courtyard swimming pool was lovely.

GreatStayed with family · For friends and family
This is a beautiful very small boutique hotel. Perfect for a romantic get away. Excellent service and great breakfast as well. AC super cold for hot humid days.
No bar, and it was a little weird having to have them open and close the main door each time you came and went. They were prompt in doing so, but still a little weird.
The fort area of Galle is small but unique. You could walk all the streets and do all the shops in a couple of hours.

Had a wonderful stay at Thambili House. We stayed in The Ginger Room which was very spacious, spotlessly clean and had a nice balcony over looking the small pool. Ideal place to relax and cool off in after a morning exploring the Fort. Mr Lakmal was exceptionally accommodating and made our stay very comfortable. The house is a fine example of an old Spice Traders House. Our only slight disappointment was we couldn’t sit and see the sea from the house. I had mistakenly thought we could but this is just from the other room. However, the house is ideally located in the Fort and seconds away from all the restaurants and other amenities the Fort and surrounding area has to offer.
