    Great Last-Minute Stay in Galle

    We needed a place to stay in Galle at the last minute after a terrible experience at our previous accommodation. Luckily, Ivy Lane had rooms available. I have to say, this place exceeds expectations for the price. The rooms were very clean, spacious, and functional, all with a modern flair. With working AC and hot showers, I was sold! The staff were really helpful. The location is convenient and close to the action. I would definitely stay here again if I return to Galle.

    Charming hotel for short stays

    The room is small and charming, and while the bathroom is pretty cramped, the hotel overall has a cute vibe. It's ideal for a stay of one to two days. The staff is friendly, and the breakfast was quite nice. The pricing is just right!

    Memorable Stay at Ivy Lane Galle Fort

    Our experience at Ivy Lane Galle Fort was unforgettable. The property is stunning, impeccably maintained, and beautifully designed. A major highlight was the food. We visited on the very day they opened their in-house restaurant, and the quality exceeded our expectations. It was among the best meals we've enjoyed. The staff truly deserve recognition for their friendliness and professionalism. They made our stay seamless and ensured our privacy was always honored. The rooms were immaculate, the toiletries were top-notch, and every bit of it was worth the cost. We created countless memories here and will absolutely return. If you're searching for a place to stay in Galle, look no further.

    Wonderful stay at this hotel

    Our experience at this hotel was fantastic. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive during our time there. They recently opened a restaurant, and the food was simply delightful. We highly recommend it! As a couple, we stayed in a room featuring a bathtub, which was both comfortable and relaxing. We genuinely enjoyed our time and would certainly come back again.

    Great family stay in a charming location

    We enjoyed a delightful family getaway here for three nights. The loft rooms are fantastic—spacious and very comfortable. The staff members are friendly and accommodating, and the breakfast offers a nice variety. We appreciated the colonial architecture, and the location is ideal, situated within the fort and close to the best restaurants and attractions.

    Comfortable stay in Galle Fort

    We had a very functional and pleasant stay in a great location within Galle Fort. Our family of four occupied the King Suite room. The staff were essential, friendly, and attentive. The room itself was spacious, and the king bed was quite comfortable. The rooms are intended for three guests, and while families with small children can manage, four adults will find it cramped. The stairs leading to the loft's third bed are quite steep, so caution is needed when navigating them. The third single bed isn't as plush as the king bed, but it's adequate for kids. Additionally, the TV is located on the upper level, which isn't very practical. Breakfast was tasty, and the prices for food were reasonable compared to other nearby restaurants. Overall, I highly recommend this place for a stay in Galle.

    A great stay at Ivy Lane

    I had a fantastic experience at Ivy Lane in Galle Fort and would definitely recommend it to other travelers. The rooms were quite spacious and well-maintained, especially considering the price—it felt like a great deal. The location is a major advantage, being right by the seaside, which makes it easy to enjoy strolls and soak in the coastal vibe. One aspect I really valued was the security. The entrance is locked at 10 pm, which provided extra peace of mind, but if you're out later, it's not an issue at all—you just call upon your return, and the staff will let you in right away. It was comforting without being restrictive. The breakfast was ample and tasty, offering plenty to savor and a wonderful way to kick off the day. Additionally, the hotel is adjacent to The English Cake Bakery, which serves the best crème brûlée cheesecake—a must-try, especially after breakfast! What really impressed me was the remarkable honesty and kindness of the staff. We accidentally left behind a Lacoste baseball cap, and the team reached out to confirm if it was ours and carefully kept it for several days until we returned to the area to pick it up. That level of attention and integrity really meant a lot to us. Overall, Ivy Lane is an excellent choice for travelers—comfortable, secure, well-situated, and managed by genuinely caring individuals. I would not hesitate to stay here again.
