We stayed at this hotel for the first 3 nights during our small tour of Sri Lanka with my family. The main building is a stunning old colonial style house and the rooms are at the back in a new building. The rooms have great views and it was large enough for a family (we had a triple room).

We came for a drink here, as it had been recommended by the manager of one of our previous hotels. We thought it a very atmospheric place, as the 'original' building is an old colonial vicarage and the pool was very well situated. We were also there for the mosque call to prayer at sundown. Most of all though, we... More

The hotel was quite basic, but had nice views. The staff were friendly and helpful, accommodating our need to use a computer and confirm ticket bookings online. We took a walk down to the sea, very nice but do we aware that locals are not shy to ask for money and will expect tipping if you allow them to accompany... More

Located up hill amongst the nicest hotels, it looks very impressive when you enter: An Old colonial house. BUTT.. then you find out that the actual hotel is at the back. A basic, elementary 2-3 star hotel, no elevator. Nice helpful staff, low average ayurvedic massage, better to go elsewhere. Reasonable for one night stay if no better alternatives... (like... More

Context one night during the literature festival of Galle before 2 days business trip in Colombo (3rd time in Sri Lanka). It was hard to get a room for the weekend at a point I could not remember how I found Lady Hill Hotel. Anyway that was one of the poorest experience in Asia over 10-yr in terms of value... More

We stayed here for one night as part of a tour. The rooms are basic but provide some lovely views. The staff are very friendly and food was good. Basic hotel but a comfortable stay.

We stayed in Galle for the last night of our recent 8 day tour of Sri Lanka. We didn't choose the Lady Hill (it was booked by our tour company) and we were dubious about previous reviews (we never choose the lowest ranked place!) but our abiding impression is of a characterful property with lovely staff who work hard to...

We chose to stay one night in Galle and opted for Lady Hill to avoid paying extortionately rising prices inside the fort. The local rate is killer cheap. I learned the hotel was previously a "mansion" the owners have now converted into a hotel. By International standards I would say this is an EXCELLENT 3 star hotel. Rooms are clean,... More

Hotel is 10 min walk up hill from Galle new town and only 200 rupee tuck tuck ride away. Slightly older hotel than most we have been too so the rooms are smaller and bathrooms slightly jaded. The roof top restaurant is lovely though very breezy - I would recommend this hotel and Galle which is quite different from other... More

We stayed one night here as part of a tour. It has a great view from the restaurant and it is within walking distance of the town. The rooms, however, are small and rather tired - there is room for improvement.
