ArtNEST Gallery Stay , Pedlars St , Galle Fort

Hotel in Old Town, Galle

Located conveniently in the center of Galle, ArtNEST Gallery Stay, Pedlars St, Galle Fort has air-conditioned rooms with free WiFi, private parking and room service.

ArtNEST is more than just a hotel, as you'll be staying in a space that's filled with art and lots of character. The common spaces serve as a cafe/art studio/gallery and are filled with paintings, prints and books. If you like surrounding yourself with colorful art inspiration, this is the place for you! The rooms are simple but clean, comfy (including a duvet as bedding, which is rare in Sri Lanka) and very thoughtfully decorated. Sandeepa is a lovely host - he showed us around the fort, shared pictures he took during the tour he gave, and was always quick with replying to any questions I had. And Yunee was a delight to be around, too - she was always smiling and very sweet.

When we opened the door, it was a big wow. It felt as if we had stepped into a place you normally only see in your dreams. My family and I love to be surrounded by beauty. One of my daughters is an interior designer for hotels all over the world, and even she was completely speechless. The photos on Booking.com do not capture the true beauty of this place. Every detail is perfect. Normally, when our family checks in somewhere, we immediately go out to explore the surroundings. But after arriving at Olinda, we stayed the entire day. We played in the pool together, relaxed, lounged, and simply enjoyed being with each other in a place that gives you such a wonderful feeling. The food and drinks were, of course, of the same excellent quality. After a perfect night’s sleep in one of the four rooms we had booked, we decided to take a tuk-tuk tour. It was a joyful experience. Galle is a beautiful historic place, and the ancient Buddhist rock temple is truly worth visiting a very old, pure, and peaceful place. We celebrated New Year’s Eve in Galle and had a lovely time. Leaving Olinda was hard. We truly felt at home, wrapped in warmth created by the wonderful crew. They are present with open hearts and that is exactly what you feel in this house. We are very gratefull to be here on our Sri Lanka tour

Design: The hotel has a stylish and luxurious feel, that carries through to the rooms which were very thoughtfully and elegantly furnished, with slightly different colours and moods in each room. Bathrooms were outstandingly spacious with large shower areas and nice attention to detail. The rooms look as good as or better than in the photos! Service: We stepped into the hotel and were warmly greeted by the manager Ismail and his welcoming team, who promptly brought our bags upstairs. Throughout our stay, service was very personal and attentive.

We had a superb trip to Galle staying at the Sun House. It is the perfect base for exploring the town and being able to come back to a small slice of paradise to relax by the pool, in the gardens or around the house. The food was brilliant, staff incredibly friendly and the cocktails were brill.

It takes about half a day to explore, and the must-see spots include colonial-era buildings like churches, castles, and the Dutch hospital. If you want to take the train from Galle to Colombo, you need to check the train schedule in advance, as there aren't many express trains each day. From Galle bus station, you can take a bus to see the stilt fishermen and the popular swing

The Fort area (streets) where nice with plenty of eateries a d things to look at. Rich in history with some amazing old buildings. We enjoyed our motel and our dinner venue. The letdown is the polution, it is quite bad and its a shame.

If you want to take whale watching at Mirissa, then stay one night at Mirissa and enjoy Weligama beach as it is much more beautiful that Galle beach where you cannot enjoy water but have to goto Unawatuna (6 km). Also, you have to be early (6 am) at the port to board boat, so it is better to be staying in the area. however the evenings inside Galle fort are very lively with all food joints and music. However it is very expensive compared to other places, probably because of the tourists.

Galle Fort was magical, so much history preserved, so easy to get around on foot. Lots of choices for eating and drinking. We recommend Ama Nissa for authentic Sri Lankan, the Ropewalk Bar for the best cold beer and Arrack Sour and Secret Garden for Kottu.

Galle itself is a big bustling town with lots of traffic, however Galle Fort is an absolute delight. We stayed for 2 nights just outside the Fort and that was enough time to thoroughly explore the Fort with it’s history and lots of tea shops, restaurants, jewellery stores and individual boutiques. After a few hours of exploring we had a very welcome foot and leg massage which was fabulous. We came out walking on air.

Unique stay in authentic, beautifully decorated Sri Lankan home of the owner of the Barefoot boutique shops. Only two rooms so it is like staying in your own private villa in the best location, right in the heart of Galle Fort. Seconds from shops and restaurants, yet very quiet and peaceful. Just a few minutes walk to beach and incredible sunsets. Room was nice, with comfortable beds and good A/C. We stayed one night, which we felt was enough for Galle Fort.

Everything! I've never felt so relaxed or taken care of in a hotel, all the staff were so lovely, Bernie was so wonderful: I unfortunately was ill for part of my stay and she checked in on me and brought me a herbal tea to make me feel better! The pool is beyond words, and the massage I had was so needed. An easy walk to Galle Fort and easy to get tuk tuks and/or Ubers from too. If I'm back in Sri Lanka I'd absolutely stay here again.

We cannot enough stress how much we loved staying with at this hotel. Indika is a fantastic host, he cooks the best fish, and really makes you feel at home. The location is amazing and the whole family loved it. It is 4 inutes from a turtle farm, 4 minutes from elephant riding and 20 min from Galle and really fun surfing. It is really REALLY good value from money. Would def go back next time I come to Sri Lanka,

Really stunning property in Galle Fort - maybe the fanciest place I've stayed in Sri Lanka, it felt like a 5-star hotel. Clean, modern, comfortable room with really nice furnishings. The rooms look out over a beautiful garden/courtyard. The breakfast was also delicious! This place is on the pricier side but definitely worth it.
