What a lovely place. One of the nicest rooms we had on our trip through Sri Lanka. Very spacious, spotlessly clean with a huge bathroom. We loved staying there. Lot's of very good places to go for breakfast in the area. The staff was very nice and helpful. I totally recommend. Very good value for money...

We loved our stay at the Mer.Chant. The flawlessly designed hotel is built around an old market place and staff is happy to tell visitors about the history of the place. Everyone was very welcoming, our room was beautiful and the food delicious. We will definitely miss the coconut water and local fruit for breakfast just as much as hopper night on Wednesday!

As we returned to our daily routines, it took us a while to revisit(unfortunately ony in our memories)this wonderful place and share our opinion. Ultimately, we highly recommend it, but more on that in a moment. We found the hotel somewhat by accident, searching among many on Booking.com. We loved the view from the private pool in our room, as well as the view of nature from the hotel pool. In reality, we saw exactly what we saw in the photos on Booking.com. The location was excellent, and for those who are apprehensive about it, I should add that we traveled with our 10-year-old son and had no problems getting to and from the hotel in the middle of the jungle, even in the evenings. We could always count on the helpfulness of the hotel staff. The location is picturesque, the cottages are of a high standard, and the hotel staff keep them impeccably clean. The hotel staff are very helpful, the food is excellent, and the chef cares about the customer and is also able to adapt to any situation (allergies, child). We tried many restaurants, and this one proved to be one of the best in terms of food quality. A place where you can relax surrounded by nature, which is right at your fingertips. A true haven for those seeking peace and complete relaxation (with extras like a swimming pool and massages—these are available upon request) and superb cuisine, surrounded by the sounds of nature. We highly recommend this place and will happily return in the future. We thank the staff for their dedication and smiles.

From

United States

We stayed here from December 31, 2024-January 2, 2025 and had a wonderful stay. The check-in was seamless. The rooms were spacious with clean and modern bathrooms and very charming decor full of little touches, comfy beds and our kids loved the loft in the family room! The cafe associated with the hotel had delicious western and Sri Lankan breakfast options, good coffee, and an extensive lunch and dinner menu. We had a great time playing at their foosball table. The location was the perfect walking distance to the fort walls, lighthouse and other historic restaurants and shops. The owners, Maneyika and Charles, were super friendly and went above and beyond by helping us with a small medical issue and recommending nearby attractions. Highly recommend staying here for families or couples.

Johann

From

South Africa

Beautifully renovated building in the historic Fort area, helpful friendly staff and an excellent breakfast. The hotel surprises with nice little details, like coffee ready for you outside your room in the morning or an excellent home made ice tea as a welcome drink. It is worth staying over night within the Fort as the area is showing its magic at sunset and early in the morning.

The Galle Fort in Galle is my absolute favorite place — it has a vibe of its own. It’s completely safe at any time of the day, even for solo travelers. There’s so much history within the Fort walls to learn about and beautiful architecture to explore. The hosts at the restaurants and hotels inside the Fort are amazing, and the service is truly of international standard. The view of the Indian Ocean from the Ramparts is simply breathtaking. There are plenty of restaurants offering a wide variety of cuisines and dishes to try. Outside the Fort, I highly recommend visiting the beaches at Unawatuna, just a few kilometers from Galle City Centre. While you’re there, don’t miss the Japanese Peace Pagoda at Rumassala — you won’t regret it! Yaddehimulla Road in Unawatuna has everything from surf schools and restaurants to gem shops, gelato spots, international cuisines, and everything in between. For quick bites and essentials, SPAR Supermarket at Galle City Centre is your go-to place. You’ll find tasty rice and curry meals, ready-to-eat options, mosquito repellent, basic medical supplies, snacks, good-quality fruits, and other everyday necessities.

quaint and charming place, with a relaxed pace of life -- besides the Galle fort, peace tower, handloom factory, silk showroom, and spice garden, there lots of good places nearby with treks and forest trails-- mahamura, sinharaja, yala, ,kanneliya-- boon for nature lovers ! watch out for the leeches though !

The vibe that Galle fort shares during anytime of the day is marvelous. It is a super child friendly place with amazing shops and places at every corner. It has the ambience of a unique blend between antiquity and modernity filled with aesthetic taste of rich culture and art. Seems its potential is still untapped fully. Loved the eateries and little cafes designed with elegance and charm. It showcases the serenity of a typical European port city with Dutch colonial architecture.

We originally had one full day planned at Galle but we ended up being there for longer. We didn't need to be there any longer than one day. The walk around the Fort was lovely but there were not really many good shops to see and it was a little touristy in the Fort. Unfortunately they still let cars and motorbikes and Tuk Tuks in the street of the Fort which was difficult to navigate. Not really much to do in Galle except for the Fort.

It’s in the thick of Galle fort, we wanted a taste of a small European style coastal stay and that’s exactly what we got. You can literally stumble out of bed and be sitting at a sidewalk cafe in a matter of seconds. It’s the perfect location to explore the fort without any additional travel time needed. The breakfast that is served is traditional Sri Lankan style breakfast and the staff and the staff talk you through it and how to eat it. Which felt both educational and empowering.

This is by far our best stay in Sri Lanka for this trip. The hotel is brand new and every feature has been carefully selected to give you a sense of luxury. The room we stayed in is secluded and has no road, neighbor's disturbance. The beds are really, really comfy. The shower has good hot water and good pressure too. The cleanliness is exemplary. The location within the rampart means that you can walk everywhere without the crazy traffic. The breakfast was a 5 star level.
