They seem to have 2 buildings, the owner's house, and the old building right opposite, across the street. I was offered a room in the old building, facing the street. The room was below moderate level. Dark, with mosquitoes, given a net though; no writing table, except a very old n dirty dressing table; no proper chair. Simply just a... More

This was the best accommodation during our stay in Sri Lanka. The room is absolutely wonderfully decorated, with a comfortable four post bed - with fresh flower petals on the bed cover. It was good value for money. The service was average - we felt that the owners / family tried to take advantage of us staying there by offering... More

I have travelled to Sri Lanka several times. I have stayed in all levels of accommodation from sand floored huts to five star resorts. The Frangipani is a lovely old building in the fort and the proprietor is very helpful, friendly and runs what feels like a home stay experience. It is in a great location. I'll definitely stay again.... More

Due to the Test Match we booked and paid for our room 6 months in advance. However when we arrived we were informed that there wasn't a room for us but they had sorted out alternative accommodation. Both of the rooms we were offered were substandard and not worth the money we had paid so we refused them. We were... More

We found the Frangipani Motel on the internet - we'd not read any reviews but later read the favourable review in 'The Lonely Planet' guide. We completely agree with the review; this is a charming family run guest house. Everybody was very welcoming but especial mention must be made of Ajith, who was enormously helpful in offering advice, sorting out... More

We stayed 3 nights, large room, guesthouse in great location, had one meal which was really great. They also serve beer! However when it was time to check out we were charged again for our room even though we had paid on the day we had arrived, I guess our fault as we handed the money to the owner who... More

Very central motel in the fort area of Galle. We stayed for one night which was enough. Everything was clean and comfortable, although you wouldn't want to spend much time in the rather uninspiring room. Decent value for money overall. More

I stayed at the Frangipani Motel for 2 nights in January 2012- what a lovely experience! Galle is a lovely town- it is so beautiful to just walk the streets all day. We payed 3000 rupees for a air conditioned room with private bathroom, which was more than we wanted to pay for accommodation, but well worth it! The room... More

It was a stoke of luck that we were able to get accommodations here, as they always appear to be full. We have been treated with the utmost of genuine hospitality during the 3 days of our stay here, and they have have gone out of their way in helping us to do some valuable groundwork research for a future...

This is a great place to stay in Galle: clean rooms, very friendly staff, and the price (30K) was a good value for the area. More
