"Great place to stay very close to the lighthouse. Love the small, intimate, boutique-style feel to it. Make sure to have the egg hoppers for breakfast! Delicious!"
"Leijay provided excellent convenience and service on my second visit. It was the only accommodation that I went to twice in Sri Lanka, and it was worth it. "

Great atmospheric old Fort City. Lovely to experience at any time of day. We saw monkeys and woke up to a wild Peacock parading on the building opposite.

There does not seem a whole lot to do in Galle besides surf and explore the fort, but easy to get to your next destination from here.

"This was like a piece of tranquil paradise in the middle of Galle Fort. It’s excellently located for exploring the fort and the building is beautifully preserved and offers excellent and spacious accommodation. We loved the room with a garden balcony, as we could watch and hear the world go by from the comfort of our room. The staff are so kind and offer many great tips for places to see inside the fort and were always in hand to make our stay extra special. Breakfast is very sizeable with many options. We will definitely be back!"

"This place was a true gem for my wife and me. Tharanga and the rest of the staff blessed us beyond and always with an infectious smile. The meals prepared were amazing too. The pool and garden area was very well taken care and perfect for swim laps. When we return to SriLanka, we will want to make this a another stay:)"
