Spent a couple of nights at Mango House, which is a clean, comfortable and well-placed hotel to explore the Galle Fort from. While they have their own restaurant on-site you also have many options to select from just a walk away. My room was very nice overlooking a peaceful neighbourhood to which peacocks seem to be frequent visitors.

Beautifully decorated boutique hotel in an old house off the main tourist road. Quiet and serene hotel with beautiful antique furniture. Service was wonderful, great reception and hospitality. Breakfast in the courtyard is nice too- order the Sri Lankan version.

Fantastic old style hotel with beautiful courtyard garden and restaurant. Room was excellent, very spacious and well equipped. Staff is very friendly and kind. The location of the hotel is excellent as it is pretty much in the middle of Galle Fort and close to the shops and magazine.

Visiting Galle and found this restaurant. The service was great and the food was brilliant, clearly freshly cooked. The setting was brilliant in the covered garden an really enjoyed a lovely afternoon. The desert of fruit salad and ice cream was to die for We are definitely coming back.

Really lovely meal with hubby . I had lasagna it was home made really tasty and a big portion nicely presented . Hubby had mango chicken skewers with rice and salad chicken had a small kick to it v tasty . Staff were lovely very attentive . We could see into the small kitchen from where we sat kitchen looked clean chefs working hard . Place got busy after we arrived about 6.30 a few families, couples, friends atmosphere was good . Prices are reasonable . It's up a side street you wouldn't necessarily walk down we got out tuk tuk to take us straight there .Recommend the mango house and would definitely go back well done to all the staff great experience tonight x

The hotel is boutique and part of a restaurant in the centre of Galle Fort, so the location is great. Our room, however, on the ground floor let us down. We could smell damp as soon as we entered, and this came from the bathroom, which had mould on the door and was probably down to having no extraction fan. We spoke to the manager and tried to move but they only have a few rooms and were full, so we had no choice to stay put, however I was not happy about having to sleep in a damp room. It was shame as apart from this and one of the electric points not working, we would have been happy. The breakfast was fine and the restaurant area is full of beautiful plants

We loved our stay at Mango House! The hotel has an old world charm. The rooms were clean, quiet, and comfortable. The staff lovely: friendly and helpful, and the breakfast was delicious, with several choices. For us, the location was perfect- right in Galle Fort. We enjoyed wandering the streets in the evening. There was music, art, lovely shops, and good restaurants. I would definitely recommend this hotel!

Highly recommended simple hotel tucked away but in the heart of the fort area. Eco friendly touches and extremely attentive staff. The food in the little bar and restaurant was outstanding. We were entertained by the monkeys visiting us during breakfast! This was a perfect start to our holiday in Sri Lanka!
