I decided to have my last lunch in Sri Lanka before I headed back to India, at the Amangalla. I'd been here the previous year for drinks but hadnt dined here - so was looking forward to the dining experience. I was adament to have Lankan food but unfortunately the selection for vegetarians was limited. I opted for a detox... More

Stayed at Amangalla for 3 nights and had a wonderful stay. Service very good and the hotel is so peaceful. The Spa and pool area were lovely. Book room No 1, views to front and over the old Dutch church. Only issue was that as there is only one restaurant the menu is a little limited. Nathchantha, our butler, was... More

We went only for a dinner, but definitively is a place to visit in Galle. The Lobby is gorgeous . The staff is very friendly and elegant! This place was the main Hotel in Galle for many generations. It is a very exclusive place (and also the price!)

I can't understand anyone giving the Amangalla a one star either, you obviously need a good spanking and sent to bed without any dinner for being a spoilt brat and throwing your rattle out of the pram. I have never stayed in the hotel but I have eaten in the restaurant on many occasions, the last time was at the... More

We stayed at the Amangalla during our recent tour of Sri Lanka for the Cricket, and find it very hard to fault anything. I cannot understand the previous reviewer who gives the hotel only one star without having even stayed there. That seems very mean to me. The hotel was full to bursting when we were there, but the staff... More

After several nights at the Ceylon Tea Trails it was a bit of let down to experience the service at the Amangalla's restaurant when we got to Galle. Our attempt at an afternoon tea resulted in a one hour wait for a mere slice of cake and two cups of tea. No one ever offered us a menu so we... More

Arriving in this hotle after a long travel feels like being darted back to colonial times. The building and ambiance is so authentic, one can hardly imagine something more fitting in the setting. The hotel restaurant is excuisite and refreshing. The staff is very friendly, although sometimes a bit slow. However, everything gets done.

visited the hotel for luch every day during the cricket a great building and great atmosphere a bright oasis in an otherwise grim drab area very clean and a pleasure compared with the dust and dirt of the cricket ground it proved that hygeine can be maintained inspite of the surrounding area excellent

We came here on two seperate occassions for afternoon tea and for evening dinner. The building and decor emulate its elegant colonial history. It is a superb place to take in this fine atmosphere. Having a Cream Tea seemed like stepping back in the past and being rather decadent. It was absolutely lovely and some american tourists looked on in... More
