As avid followers of trip adviser reviews, we were inclined to stay at the Galle Ft Hotel in Galle to enjoy the rustic, historical aspect of our first trip to Sri Lanka. Wrong choice. We knew it the minute we checked in; it just wasn't the right fit for us to celebrate a post Christmas birthday...so off we went to... more

We stayed at Amangalla for 2 nights whilst on our honeymoon but I definitely wish we could have stayed longer. The property is simply stunning. I want to redocorate my house to look like this hotel! We stayed in a 2 room suite with amazing views and the service was aboslutely amazing. Granted, we were the only guests in the... more

Whilst I do agree with everyone's comments on the hotel and the location etc.... I just want to say BEWARE!!! To all my fellow travellers to take care of your belongings in this hotel and don't leave your personal things open to temptation in your room. Ensure you lock all your valuables in the safe provided. Whilst I stayed at... more

My wife and I stayed at Amangalla for three nights as the first leg of our wedding anniversary trip to Sri Lanka in September. We felt completely spoiled by every one of their staff, from the houseboy and butler, up to the manager. The presence of Amangalla added much charm to the historic city of Galle Fort, which is an... more

We regret only staying in this hotel for only 1 night. When we were planning our trip, we thought that a city stay in Galle should have only been worth 1 night. However, upon arriving, our initial reaction was to instantly book another 2 nights. Contrary to what another reviewer had said about it being pretentious, we did not find... more

We spent 3 nights at the Amangalla and were very impressed. The building, the former Dutch Governor's residence, has been beautifully and stylishly restored and is now a gracious and luxurious hotel in a good location within the fort. Our room was extremely comfortable with large sitting bedroom and bathroom areas, all in one large room. The quality of the... more

We had a wonderful couple of days here. The service was fantastic - we had our own butler - Maraka - who was really kind and helpful. I would not recommend this hotel for anyone who has difficulty with mobility however. There are steps up to the entrance and many steps to the pool and spa area - no hand... more

This is a beautiful hotel within Galle Fort. It has luxurious rooms and a magnificent, peaceful swimming-pool. I didn't use the Spa but recommend the haircut and shave which is done by a guy who looks about 12 years old (he swears he's 25) but was tremendous. I ate here one evening and the food was good but not exceptional,... more

Stayed at Amangalla for two nights. Physically the hotel has been restored beautifully, but it has completely lost the true character of what was a formidable hotel in Ceylon/Sri Lanka. Even in its state of shambles a few years ago it had genuine character. It is now just another expensive member of a hotel chain, which can only be described... more

We stayed at the Aman during a week long break for our Honeymoon in Sri Lanka and it was truly amazing. The Staff were so attentive and our every need was catered for by a personal butler (Malaka) who was fabulous. The rooms are beautiful and furnished to exceptional standard The Spa treatments are to die for as is the... more
