We ate twice in the restaurant once at dinner and once for lunch. Our dinner experience was excellent but the lunch menu not quite so good. My wife had an expensive crab curry for lunch and there was really not a great deal of crab to be found. A lot of legs but little meat. Service is first class and... More

We stayed at the Amangalla for three nights between xmas and new year and it was the best. We had a beautiful chamber with a large balcony overlooking the garden, which meant lots of privacy, as the pool is further down. The balcony came with daybed and dinner table. The room was spacious with a large bed and separate sofa... More

This hotel is bliss. Totally luxurious yet retaining a great deal of its original character. An oasis of calm in the bustling fort. Charming staff, the best food we had in Galle, gorgeous pool. As with all the other hotels organised for us by our agent at Passepartout, Amangalla is somewhere we could not fault. More

We went to Amangalla only for dinner, which was recommended by the manager of our hotel (we were staying in Tamarind Hills). The place did not have much of options for vegetarians, however, the chef made a delectable vegetarian spaghetti for us. The bread was warm and mushroom salad had the most flavorful oyster mushrooms that I have ever tasted.... More

This hotel is truly heavenly despite the following issues, and I would highly recommend staying here for the general ambiance, design, service, pool and location. We expect internet access in our rooms when staying in this class of accommodation. Good WiFi is available in the Library, but not in the rooms. We were originally provided with a 3G dongle that...

Amangalla has been a wonderful place for a two night stay. We've been tempted to walk around Galle Fort and to see a slice of the local culture and scenery, but it's been hot and way more tempting to relax in this wonderful building. We booked a suite, which is nicely proportioned and the sitting room is a most wonderful... More

Sri Lanka has some of the most competitively priced boutique hotels in the world. You can stay at an amazing small boutique hotel for the fraction of the price you would pay elsewhere in Asia. That stops with Amangalla. You pay the Aman premium! It was worth it. The manager, Olivia Richli, floats glamorously and effortlessly through this hotel which... More

We ate here in November 2011 because the food in our hotel (Jetwing Lighthouse) was a little uninspiring. This place has an old colonial vibe and is classy but not snobby. The hotel looked charming but we went only for dinner and it was lovely. We were entertained by an unobtrusive flute player as we had an aperitif in the... More
