“Excellent accommodation, staff great, location excellent”
The location was one street back from rampart walls and the lighthouse. The Sri Lankan breakfast was great. The air conditioning worked perfectly which was needed as hot during afternoon.

“Very special place to call home for 4 days - highly recommend”
We loved our 4 night stay at the charming family run Antic Guesthouse managed by Ifran who with the team went above and beyond to make our stay memorable. Aliment restaurant/cafe onsite - lovely staff serving great breakfast daily & we also enjoyed some delicious Sri Lankan Curries. Jewellery shop also onsite - bought a beautiful ring which was reasonably priced. We were lucky enough to be taken out on the first local sight seeing tour in their brand new tuk tuk which was a lovely experience 🤗

“Recommend a visit here and would come here again”
A great location. An excellent breakfast across the road at the cafe. Very clean, great shower and comfortable bed right in the middle of Galle Fort. The local residents were very friendly and the owners had a lovely jewellery shop beneath the guest house.

We had the most beautiful stay at Antic Guesthouse in Galle. The location is perfect, peaceful but still close to everything, and just a short walk to the beach and Galle Fort. The rooms were spotless, comfortable and full of charm, with thoughtful little touches that made it feel homely rather than just a place to sleep.

“A nice, comfortable stay in a nice en suite room with a large bed. Great value for money.”
A traditional beautifully maintained building. Very good value for money right in the middle of Galle Fort. I was en route, so arrived late and left early and the hosts were welcoming and helpful by providing a take away breakfast in and arranging a taxi to take me to the station early the next morning.

“Perfect stay in beautiful rooms with amazing staff”
Everything was great. The room is cozy and nice. Everything was clean and done very well by the staff. Location was great, within 10 minutes walk of everything, and staff was so helpfull with everything, allowing us to check out late because the new guests was expected to arrive late. I can only recommend this place, truly exceptional.

“ANTIC GUESTHOUSE: Comfortable yet basic room in good location in central Galle.”
Breakfast was OK (served across the street), very good location in central Galle (inside fortifications). Hammock inside the room. Stairs (No elevator) and busy street but quiet room. Very friendly manager !
