The Lady Hill Hotel

I recently undertook a two week tour of Sri Lanka in a group of six and we stayed in 8 different hotels during our trip. This hotel was my favourite and I can unreservedly recommend it. It is situated on a hill about 20 mins walk from the scenic Dutch Fort district and has superb views across the city. The staff went out of their way to welcome us on arrival and throughout our stay the service we received….reception, housekeeping, restaurant and management…was warm, friendly and efficient. Nothing was too much trouble. The room I stayed in was spacious, clean and although the hotel itself is colonial, (once a vicarage for the head of the CofE in Galle) the rooms are bright, modern and comfortable. There were lots of English channels available on TV should you wish to relax and watch something other than BBC news which is what was available in most other places. The restaurant cooks food to order so we had a plentiful supply of freshly cooked food of a high standard and we were entertained by a lovely young singer/guitarist while dining in the evening. As it was my birthday whilst there the group leader arranged for a delicious birthday cake presented to me after breakfast. A group of about six staff came to see us off on our departure which was a nice, personal touch which we appreciated. Do not be put off that it is up a hill. The walk down is easy but some might find it a bit of a pull back up when it’s hot. Tuk tuks are absolutely everywhere and from the fort district the fare for two people was only 200 rupees (50p!) if you didn’t want to walk the return uphill journey. Just agree the price first and insist if it seems any higher. And once back to the hotel, take a dip in the pool - clean and like a warm bath - a real delight as the sun sets.

We came from Australia and stayed for couple of days in Galle.stayed at Lady Hill. Location is close to the town and Galle Fort. The hotel is located at a hill and Very nice view from the rooftop restaurant. Clean place. Very friendly staff and good food .

Beautiful hotel in a fantastic location. Wonderful lunch on the roof top over looking Galle. Nice and breezy on a hot humid day. Food was lovely. Couldn't have asked for better service. Lots of colourful fish in the reception area. Can't recommend highly enough!

Lovely hotel on top of the hill. Amazing views. Short walk to the fort. Really friendly and helpful staff. Rooms very clean and great aircon. Food is lovely. Pool nice clean and refreshing. Would definitely come back if staying in Sri Lanka!

I recently had the opportunity to dine at a restaurant with a broad menu, boasting a variety of options suitable for various palates. The overall experience was 'ok.' Although the quality of the food did not quite match the high prices, every interaction with the staff was a delight due to their friendliness and professionalism. Adding to the restaurant's charm was its lovely view, which made for a pleasant visual experience. It's also worth mentioning that the atmosphere was quiet, as we were the only guests there apart from a woman who was enjoying her beer while engaged in a phone conversation.

We stayed here as it was closer to Galle fort. The hotel is a bit older but the staff and the pool makes up for it. Very attentive staff at the restaurant and the view is fantastic. If the hotel can be renovated a little, it will be a 5 star hotel for sure!

Breaky was fantastic and the males loved to get some bacon. Fruit was fabulous and all the staff were smiling. Great location. Easy walk to beach. Fantastic view from balcony to watch the sunrise. Quirky room design with everything you need.Highly recommend

The culinary journey at the hotel was nothing short of extraordinary, with each dish offering a tantalizing explosion of flavors that danced harmoniously on the palate. From the first bite to the last, every dish was meticulously crafted to perfection, showcasing the chef's artistry and dedication to culinary excellence. What made the dining experience truly exceptional was the backdrop of mesmerizing vistas that greeted diners with every glance. As we savored each mouthful, we were treated to panoramic views that stretched as far as the eye could see, painting a scene of unparalleled beauty that captivated our senses. The interplay between the exquisite cuisine and the breathtaking surroundings elevated our dining experience to new heights, transforming it into a symphony of flavors and sights that left a lasting impression. It was a rare opportunity to indulge in gastronomic delights while being enveloped by the natural splendor of the surroundings. In those moments of culinary bliss, time seemed to stand still as we immersed ourselves in the enchanting ambiance, savoring every moment and every flavor. It was a dining experience unlike any other, one that will be cherished in our memories for years to come.
