    We had a wonderful stay at a hidden gem in Galle. The room was cozy with all the necessary amenities and a comfortable bed. The owners were kind and went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable. The location was perfect, right in the heart of Galle. The terrace offered stunning views and the common area was a great place to relax. Excellent value for money and we would definitely stay again.

    Can't recommend highly enough this hotel.

    The guest house is conveniently located in the heart of the city, close to restaurants, shops, and the beach. The rooms are comfortable with clean linen and towels. The breakfast is delicious, with a variety of fresh fruit and Sri Lankan curries. The owners are incredibly kind and accommodating, providing excellent service throughout our stay.

    The shower could be more efficient.

    During our stay, we found the location of the hotel to be very convenient. It was situated close to the beach, which was perfect for enjoying some relaxing time by the water. We also loved that there were plenty of restaurants and shops nearby, allowing us to explore the local cuisine and indulge in some retail therapy. Additionally, being in the city center made it easy for us to navigate and explore the surrounding areas.

    We did experience some issues with the cleanliness of the rooms. While the accommodations were generally satisfactory, we noticed that the beds weren't as clean as we would have liked.

    Great breakfast options, including a variety of local dishes and fruits. The location of the hotel was perfect, right in the heart of the city with easy access to shops, restaurants, and attractions. The staff were friendly and always willing to help with any queries or requests.

    The rooms were a bit worn out and could do with some refurbishment. The Wi-Fi was unreliable and often slow, making it difficult to stay connected.

    Great value for money. Clean and cozy rooms with comfortable beds and hot water. Excellent customer service from the owners who went above and beyond to make our stay relaxing. They even took us on a tour of the local area without expecting anything in return. The breakfast was delicious with a variety of fresh fruits and a hearty serving of eggs, toast, and tea. Convenient location near shops, cafes, and sights.

    The building is dated and the rooms can be a bit dark with limited space for luggage. The bathroom was basic.

    We had a fantastic stay at this hotel. The central location was a major advantage as it was close to restaurants and shops. Being in the city center made it easy for us to explore this city and enjoy its attractions. Additionally, the hotel facilities were great and the cleanliness of the rooms exceeded our expectations. The staff were friendly, helpful, and provided excellent service.

    Nothing to mention, all was good.

    The value for money at this hotel is excellent. The room was comfortable, with a large bed and good air conditioning. The location is fantastic, with beautiful views from the rooftop room. The staff were energetic, helpful, and spoke English well.

    Breakfast delights, but could benefit from a better variety of options.

    I recently stayed at a cozy guesthouse in Galle for a few nights. The Secret Palace, a lovely annex of Fort Inn, is centrally located on a quiet side street. With two terraces, I enjoyed waking up to the sound of birds singing and the spacious and comfortable room. The staff, a wonderful family, was always helpful with anything I needed.

    Totally recommend this hotel.

    Stayed in an annex of a centrally located guesthouse. Excellent room with A/C, fridge, comfy bed with mosquito net, and spacious bathroom with hot water. Friendly owners provided complimentary local phone call. Common living room with comfy sofas. Great value for money. Would stay again.

    Nothing to mention.

    The guest house is centrally located within the vibrant area filled with restaurants, shops, and attractions. Guests can easily explore the city center and enjoy proximity to the beach. The rooms, although small, are adequate and offer air conditioning for a comfortable stay. The owners are attentive and provide excellent service, arranging transportation and meeting all guests' needs. Breakfast on the balcony is a delightful experience, with a good selection of dishes.

    Some guests mentioned issues with water pressure in the morning, which affected the shower experience.

    As longer term business travelers, we found the Secret Palace guesthouse to be centrally located and in a quiet side street. The spacious and comfortable rooms had a terrace on both sides, allowing us to wake up to the soothing sounds of birds singing. The staff was incredibly helpful and accommodating, making our stay feel like being part of a great family.

    Felt very cared for, no complaints.

    The hotel provided a comfortable and interesting stay. The rooms were clean, cozy, and comparable to a 5-star hotel. The hotel had a 5-star rating on TripAdvisor, which is well-deserved.

    The hardware in the rooms could use some attention, as some doors and windows were ill-fitting and hard to open or close. Mosquitoes were a problem due to gaps in the windows and doors, despite the presence of mosquito netting.
