Had a beautiful time at the Sun House. Very friendly staff, the room was clean with wonderful views over Galle and the surrounding countryside. We had the Cinnamon Suite which I can only recommend - it was awesome. Some of the other rooms may be small though. The English manager is very cheery and has great ideas for offbeat sidetrips... more

It's a long journey for sure, taking us just under 24 hrs, but when met with an ice cold towel and a refreshing pineapple cocktail we just knew we were in for a treat. We stayed in the Cinamon suite, mainly because we read the Conde Nast review which stated that this room was one of the best on the... more

The Sun house is by far the best place I have ever stayed. The gardens are just stunning with frangipani trees and dropping flowers everywhere and a lovely sparkling secluded pool. We had some of the best food in the whole of Sri Lanka here with very imaginative recipes. The staff could not be more helpful or happy and there... more

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. Especially the travel tips. More importantly, however, the vibe is friendly but if you want to curl up on a sofa but not be in... more
