Just back from a honeymoon week in Galle, Sri Lanka. We stayed the whole week at the Sun House in Galle. It was wonderful. The hotel was a tropical sanctuary, the food was divine and the staff couldn't have done more to make our stay a happy and content one, with charming service, helpful local recommendations and a sense of... more

Just returned from Sri Lanka, and must say out of 5-6 fantastic hotels, the Sun house is the one I'd most like to go back to. The location, staff, Henri the manager and Galle's atmosphere, give it the edge over some pretty stiff competition. However, having read the other reviews below, its true to say no place is perfect; but... more

The Sunhouse in Galle is a truly wonderful experience. The friendly staff are really there for you, but not overbearing. The rooms are simply lovely, and the food is exceptional. The hotel has terrific management and they try so hard to fill your every need. As a seasoned traveller who mixes up luxury and budget this hotel, while not budget,... more

I really liked the Sun House. It has all of the basics - it's clean, lovely pool, a very interesting library (books and dvds), free wireless which is a bonus, and the assistance is fantastic.

On the second day of our stay I realised that my mobile (cell) phone was missing and I have good reason to believe it had been taken from our room the previous evening, while we were having dinner in the hotel restaurant. It's highly... more

prior to arriving i was a little perturbed as we wanted to arrange a late check out and have a shower at the hotel about 5pm prior to getting a 4 hour taxi to the airport. unfortunately we had to pay for a full night, the price of which had been inflated for christmas and the cricket. despite this and... more

Just arrived back from a 5 night stay at The Sun House over Christmas and it was wonderful. Its a charming boutique hotel in Galle. Henri the manager was ever so helpful and put us in touch with all the right people in the area (Herman the tea plantation owner - a highly recommended visit), Alex who runs the bike... more

Our definition of the perfect place to stay - somewhere luxurious but homely with every comfort and no formality. Terrific food and a great welcome from Henri the manager. Sri Lanka is deserted at the moment because of Western Governments issuing travel warnings. There are virtually no tourists, - we were the only guests staying at the Sun House and... more
