Parawa House

We stayed at the Parawa House at the end of our two week stay in Sri Lanka. Not only was the room incredibly comfortable and well designed, the staff was the most helpful we experienced the entire time in Sri Lanka - which is saying a lot! We had a family room with a king sized bed and two twin beds above it in bunks. The a/c worked great, the shower was first rate and the mattresses and pillows were super comfortable. The morning breakfasts were excellent. They even showed us how to mix up some of the meals in the authentic Sri Lankan way. The Parawa House is located in a perfect section of the old fort. You are about one minute from the western facing ramparts, making sunsets easy every night. The staff helped arrange for trips to Unawatuna beach and gave helpful tips on what to see in different parts of the area. We had a late flight out and the staff held our bags while we explored the town and then arranged for a great driver to take us to the airport. While we were waiting for the driver, they took us to their next door property and gave us access to a room with a washroom so we could wash up before we began the trip back. At each point they went above and beyond. Would stay here again and can’t recommend it highly enough.

Charming Guesthouse in the middle of the Fort in Galle. Service was excellent. Very nice staff. We spent 2 nights, and both mornings a different breakfast with explanation how to eat a Sri Lankan Hopper. Rooms not too big but we did have nice balcony. Definitely good place.

Really amazing hotel. Calm, beautiful and the friendliest staff. You are really being treated as you are in a 5-stat hotel! Breakfast was great and location too. WiFi was quick and there is plenty of room in their garden to enjoy a cop of coffee.

I was a bit on the fence with regards to giving this 4 or 5. But accommodation without a generator during the power cuts crisis, means a point is lost. I appreciate not everyone could have one, but it meant having to be outside the place from around 730-10 each evening depending on when the power cut was on. The rooms were very nice and spacious, with a useful seating area outside the rooms (if you like the heat). Staff very friendly and helped us arrange a driver for two trips we required.

Excellent stay. We were upgraded to higher category room and got free breakfast since room we booked was occupied. Very nice surprise at the end. Rooms are excellent, stylish and management helpful - they arranged vehicle for us to colombo quickly and reasonably.

Wat een ontzettend gezellig en sfeervol hotelletje midden in het fort van Galle. Hele lieve en behulpzame mensen die ons helpen met de bagage en ons de kamers laten zien. Wij hadden met onze drie kinderen twee aparte kamers geboekt. Tussen deze kamers zit een heel gezellig ‘gangetje’ waar je lekker kan relaxen of een spelletje aan de tafel kan doen. De kamers zijn mooi, schoon en van alle gemakken voorzien. Bij onze slaapkamer zat ook een balkon met veel ruimte, waar je uitkeek op een gezellig straatje. Prijs kwaliteit is zeer goed!
