This hotel is located on a very secret mountain road. It is difficult to find the location for many protruding cars. It is indeed not ideal, but the environment inside is still very good and very original.

We really enjoyed our time here in such a beautiful and historic building. The rooms are spacious with lovely furniture and giant beds. The hotel is in the middle of a longer term refurbishment programme and they are upgrading each room at a time so some facilities are a little more old fashioned than others and they are currently awaiting their drinks licence so you are allowed to bring in your own alcohol free of charges it is a training hotel so there are young, enthusiastic staff trying their best, always welcoming you with big smiles. The pool is very large and at night surrounded by wild peacocks..they are in the process of adding a screen to block of their unsightly neighbour but it didn't bother us. Breakfasts are tailored to your needs and they are happy to prepare anything you need for supper it's 3 kilometres from town but we liked the peace this afforded

We had an excellent stay in this historic Dutch admiral's house from the 17th century. Most agreeable was the very welcoming and efficient staff, totally committed to our needs. The room we had was giant with a private patio and leading to the well maintained large swimming pool. Breakfast was delicious and included in the price. They are continuously refurbishing the whole place but discreetly, hence it's a very quiet boutique hotel. Highly recommended

Such a shame. Beautiful building steeped in history but run down beyond belief. We moved out after one night which was a shame. Some aspects were downright dangerous. I had to keep my foot on a plug so my wife could dry her hair. The AC is incredibly noisy and old. The grounds are generally kept in pretty good condition but the pool area is horrible. I will attach a picture of the view. A picture of the rubbish below. The check in was really just weird. You do the niceties and then are asked what do you want for dinner tonight! Menu? No, we don’t have one. You’ve just arrived and have no idea of your surroundings! Just wrong and quite intimidating. We were the only people who eat there that night, not a sole about. The service was over attentive and the guy just watched us have our meal. Very claustrophobic. If you do stay, eat in Galle.

Just stayed at Tamarind Hill and the service we received was way above our expectations.. All the staff without exception were friendly, helpful and couldn’t do enough for us.. The building is beautiful with lots of colonial character and history with a really nice pool and is situated about a 5 min toktok ride away from Galle Fort which was great as it was much more peaceful than being in the Fort area.. The food was exceptional…. definitely can’t beat the Sri Lankan chicken curry… If you’re looking for a hotel that offers incredible service this is the place.

Food was amazingly good , specially the Sri Lankan taste and the place is well maintained with a historical touch. Definitely a Gem of a place is this beautiful masterpiece Tamarind Hill , loved every bit of the time spent here ❤️
