Hotels near Yatagala Raja Maha Viharaya, Galle

The hotel is still relatively beautiful, the service is very warm, the room is large, the bed is relatively high, the lady may be slightly troublesome, but the hotel as a whole is still very beautiful, it is recommended, the location is better, the location is good, the location is not in the ancient city, because the ancient city is not big

Strategic location Ctrip’s positioning is accurate The breakfast is rich and attentive, and the juice is quite awesome! There is a washing machine and a drying rack. The only drawback is that you have to hurry up to eat the desserts, otherwise they will be crawling with ants.

Departed for Sri Lanka on September 28, 2023, and checked into the Amangalla Hotel in Galle Fort. It was the sixth Aman hotel to check in. It felt great. Amangalla was built in the 17th century. It was formerly a military command in the Netherlands. It later became the first hotel in Sri Lanka. It was acquired by the Aman Group in 1995. The hotel is not big, but it is well-equipped with swimming pools, massage pools, yoga rooms, etc. , you can experience local shaving services and foot massages. Amangalla is the smallest Aman I have ever stayed in. It is in the middle of the ancient city of Galle and a 10-minute walk from the lighthouse. The surrounding area is very convenient for eating, drinking and entertainment. There is the Tuna and the Crab restaurant, which is a brother restaurant of the one-Michelin-star restaurant in Colombo. If you have enough money, you can try it. Be sure to choose his tea plantation tour, which will also take you to see the sea turtle hatching base and stilt fishing. It was very interesting. Although I fell off and stepped on a rock while fishing on stilts and was injured, I gained interesting photos and a rare life experience. The ancient city of Galle is also worth visiting. Amangalla can arrange cars and tour guides. The hotel is right in the center of the ancient city. The location is good and it is very convenient to go everywhere. Although I fell into the sea while fishing on stilts and cut my feet. All in all, it was still a very interesting experience. The two Amans in Sri Lanka are different from the ones we stayed in before. They are far away from Colombo and do not provide free airport pick-up services. The airport pick-up fee for the five of us was about US$400 in a large amanganla. It should be noted that if two Aman activities are booked for consecutive days, they generally need to be booked from the official website, not Ctrip agents.

Clean, good service, beautiful environment, very convenient to travel, just near the ancient city new gate and bell tower, watching the sunrise and sunset, swimming, going to the bus station train station can walk, the price in the location of the fortress is very conscience! Recommended! I stayed for six nights in total and liked Galle very much! I will stay here next time!

Hotel is contemporary design just outside the fort area 15m walk great pool overlooking the ocean if it was not so rocky they would have their own beach rooms are very large some with a plunge pool excellent breakfast great choices veg if you prefer the staff are polite and will do anything to help if you like the old colonial style stay in the fort wall's

Overall, it was an enjoyable stay although in some respects it was inferior to other hotels I stayed in on the holiday. The pools were great and so was the view from the room. The room itself was alright - quite basic but sufficient. We did have problems with a leak in the ceiling which was promptly addressed by staff but still a little annoying. In general the staff were lovely: in particular Chamindu in the restaurant, a security guard who called me and my partner over to show us turtles on the beach (sorry, can't remember his name) and the guy working the sunloungers at the lower pool. The weakest part was probably the food. It wasn't bad exactly, it was just worse than the food in all the other hotels I stayed in.

A very comfortable trip, must go to the beach! The beachfront hotel is really the highlight of the trip. Because it is an environmentally friendly hotel, remember to ask for disposable utensils such as toothbrushes from the front desk in advance.

The hotel is very good. It is an all-inclusive hotel. After staying in the hotel, you don't need to worry about any food and drink.

This was a last minute booking. On Friday morning we found out that both of us were free in the second half of the day. Looked for a place relatively closer to Colombo and made the reservation. Didnt do any research. Only knew it was run by a sister brand to Resplendent Ceylon. It started off on high note. On arrival we were welcomed by the property manager, by name, which we thought was quite a nice touch. The price point was somewhat similar to Cape Weligama where we got something akin to a suite. Compared to that the immediate reaction to the room was that it was quite small. But it was tastefully done in lovely shades of blue, had all the amenities and luxuries. Must especially mention the rain shower (the best I have seen anywhere), and the HD TV which was again of a much higher quality than many we've come across before. And the best part was that the veranda was almost on the beach with lovely views of the sunset. The perfect alternative if you are too lazy to actually get on the beach;) The next highlight was the food! The best we have ever had anywhere. (I had another favorite before, but this surpassed it;) Special mention must be made of the pastry chef. They had the softest buns and the fluffiest crossiants! But do take note that portions are quite large so you need to plan a bit if uou are ordering a four course meal. They have their own cocktail mixes which we found to be ok. They had a lovely pool which we were too lazy to use. The beach was public and small but not at crowded. The service was excellent! The check in check out process was very smooth. Servers were very efficient and the property manager kept checking on us regularly. All in all, perfect place if you want to just laze around with excellent food, service and comforts.

Lunuganga is an extraordinary and deeply personal place created by Bawa over many decades. Staying at Lunuganga allowed us to experience its potency through the day and into the late evening to better grasp its beauty, complexity and his masterful vision. It's now a few weeks since we left and I think about it constantly. It isn't like anywhere else. We stayed in Bawa's bedroom with outdoor bathing courtyard, which for us was worth the additional cost. The staff were so very thoughtful and attentive - it could not have been a better stay. Thank you to the Lunuganga Trust and Teardrop Hotels for taking such good care of this unique piece of Sri Lankan architectural heritage. You've adapted it elegantly to allow it to be used successfully as a small hotel which we hope will ensure access to Lunuganga for decades to come. I will of course recommend it to anyone with an interest in C20 art, architecture and landscape - make this pilgrimage.
