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 Sun House in Galle is fantastic, a short walk from the old fort but hidden away enough for privacy. Our suite even had an outdoor bathroom! It is the perfect place romantic getaway- peaceful, beautiful and charming. The staff- including manager Henri are completely fantastic! Compliments definately go to the chef- each meal was perfection! We loved our stay... more

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. 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

This is a pretty little boutique hotel--the rooms are nice, and the pool and the main lounge are comfortable--but the staff is mostly at a loss andthe food is just so-so. more

My wife and I stayed three nights at the Sun House over the New Year holiday. 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
