I came to Sri Lanka for the first time expecting the accommodation to be very basic but i was pleasantly surprised by this fantastically run hotel, the staff are extremely friendly and cant do enough for you. We enjoyed some meals in which were of great quality and also enjoyed an excursion by the hotel for our group, they came... More

Closenberg has become my perfect escape from the busy city and hectic worklife. It is located on a headland and the view is breathtaking. It is only five minutes from the country's cultural capital Galle and one of the most happening beaches Unawatuna. With that said I have access to various activities around the area while relaxing at this intimate... More

The Closenberg! Remembering the countless trips down drums up many a nostalgic memory. The food is to die for, offering a wide range of Eastern and Western cuisine.

I'd definitely recommend Closenberg, it has great food- fresh and healthy, the service is helpful and the location is nice and tucked away- a great find!

Wondeful location and excellent service. Some things could use renewal or repair (window blinds) but the cheery and helpful staff made up for any shortfall.

The hotel is on a quiet peninsula away from the busy road. Awesome ocean views. The staff were some of the most friendly I met on my Trip to Sri Lanka. If you can not stay here I would at least stop by for a great lunch and take in the view.

Reliable wifi (in common area only) and hot water. Food was simple but good and fresh. Good value for the money and we slept really well here - better than... More

The rooms were clean but very old fashioned. the view from the balcony was great but it didn't make up for the rest of the hotel. The restaurant was atrotious! the sandwich at lunch time was stale and... More

I was fortunate enough to stay at the Closenburg hotel for 2 nights and I encourage all those considering Sri Lanka for a vacation to check it out! It is a wonderful, colonial, villa style building with a historic charm that is rare and unique. The rooms overlook a gorgeous view of the ocean and you will wake to the... More
