Araliya Villa Fort Guest House

This was a really good place to stay! The location was great, I'm glad we chose to stay in the Fort since we were away from the busy bustle of the town. Our room was comfortable and air con is always a plus.

The staff at Araliya were very friendly and helpful. We had breakfast there once and enjoyed it. It does take a little while so try to order an hour before if you have somewhere you have to be.

I would definitely recommend this place!

Love this place! Surrounded by chic-y and more expensive, this is a diamond in the not so rough at a very fair price. Our room was upstairs, large and a bit quirky, but with good a/c and a very comfortable bed. Again, I can't stress the value of location, and this place was a gem. Walking distance to the port, amazing restaurants, everything. They arranged a cooking class at Mama's- a 15 minute walk away. If you've ever been intrigued by Sri Lankan cooking, you must take this class. 

Good value for Money, got an excellent room, very clean, Good services friendly staff, I would say a very safe place to stay, very close to some attractions, the included breakfast can be improved a bit

Great accommodation in the Fort

A cast of characters and a wonderful experience

Very good value for Money

Araliya Fort is a restored old house. While it looks lovely, it is in dire need of improvement. There is no restaurant, and the breakfast service is quite slow. The generator broke down when it was needed the most, that is, during a power cut. And putting it mildly, a Sri Lankan summer without fan/A.C is not the most comfortable. I was told upon inquiry that cards would be accepted. The night before check-out, though, I was informed the card machine is out of order and I need to pay in cash. These are hassles which could have been avoided with a little more attention. Generally the place is clean, staff is polite, and the location is great. All it needs is a bit of will and attention from its owners.

Good, But Much Room For Improvement

Booked a night stay at this guest house and when we arrived in Galle Fort on 14 Dec 2017 to check in, we were rudely shocked that the owners has vacated and the place is CLOSED! A neighbor confirmed that the place was vacant for at least one month! 
We had to scurry to look for alternative accommodation. Bad experience with booking agent as well as this guest house.
