"Clean bathroom and facilities. Beds were comfortable, linen was soft and clean, and location was great. Air con wasn’t the greatest provided a doona instead of a top sheet which was odd with the heat, and the bass from the stereo of the restaurant downstairs/attached to the property was quite loud making it hard to sleep between 8 and 10pm. Staff were very kind and helpful."
"Leijay provided excellent convenience and service on my second visit. It was the only accommodation that I went to twice in Sri Lanka, and it was worth it. "

Galle Fort was a great home base for exploring the many beaches around Southern Sri Lanka. Its the perfect place to stay with great restaurants, shopping and places to peacefully stroll and see the historic town.

Great atmospheric old Fort City. Lovely to experience at any time of day. We saw monkeys and woke up to a wild Peacock parading on the building opposite.

There does not seem a whole lot to do in Galle besides surf and explore the fort, but easy to get to your next destination from here.

Loved this little town. Nice to walk around and really enjoyed the roti hut around the corner that opens at 4pm.

They should charge to enter the Fort and use the money to enhance the place
"Wonderful, friendly and attentive staff. Beautiful, well-laid out rooms. Excellent food at the Fusion restaurant. Pool was one of the best we’ve experienced at any resort. We would highly recommend to all and look forward to returning again soon. "
"This is a lovely historic house presented with style and charm, and high standards. The staff provide the best service and are very attentive. Setting is just gorgeous with visiting shy groups of purple-faced leaf monkeys and peacocks passing through along the high walls and trees from time as you sit in the cool palm filled courtyards. And added, an excellent menu with both traditional and modern mix so well presented and tasty served in a lovely restaurant-bar setting on the deep verandahs. "
"The atmosphere is quiet, and the hotel is located right in front of Galle Old Street. The decor is nice and chic, but the linens and carpets are a bit worn. Breakfast is good."
