Best rooms
Request a room on the first floor or higher facing the rear garden. These are quieter and catch the afternoon breeze away from the main road.
Requests for rooms on the higher floors (4th and above) are recommended, as they tend to be farther away from the Main Street, which can be lively with traffic and pedestrian activity. These rooms will also have a higher chance of having a partial sea view.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid ground-floor rooms near the entrance or the front wall—they pick up street noise and dust from passing tuk-tuks and traffic on Galle's main coastal road.
Rooms on the lower floors (1st-2nd) may experience more noise from the street and the hotel's service entrance, which is located on the ground floor.
