This Galle hotel is in Galle City with many amenities, restaurants, fruit, vegetable and fish markets, 3.3 km from such natural sights as Jungle Beach.

Location

Located approximately 5 minutes' walk from the Remodeled ancient Saint Mary's Catholic Church, the hotel lies nearly 30 minutes' walk from shopping venues such as the Old Dutch Hospital Shopping Precinct. At the Le Grand, you'll be within a 2-km distance of Galle International Cricket Stadium.

Guests might as well visit Magister Square, which is about a 25-minute walk away. There is the historic Dutch Reformed Church around 2.1 km away, while Galle Public bus station is just moments from the property.

Le Grand Galle hotel is situated 20 minutes on foot from Galle train station.

Rooms

The premium rooms comprise a balcony and a terrace featuring a flat-screen TV with satellite channels along with air conditioning. The private bathrooms offer a separate toilet and a shower. Guests can enjoy majestic views of the ocean provided in the room.

Eat & Drink

2 onsite restaurants, among them Taste and Blue, serve seafood, international, and local dishes. The restaurant serves international cuisine for lunch and dinner. There is also a pool bar that overlooks the poolside. You can visit a restaurant situated close by and taste American cuisine.

Leisure & Business

The Le Grand Galle has an outdoor swimming pool as well as a steam room, a Jacuzzi, and a sauna. At this Galle hotel, guests can take part in fitness classes offered at a fitness centre.

“Le Grand Galle certainly wins on location, with its proximity to the Dutch Fort and those striking views overlooking the beach. The artful décor, intended to showcase local culture, is a definite plus, as is the exclusive private beach access. However, I would expect more polished service at this price point.”

adequate stay

lovely pool area attentive staff locked gate orange squash
the pool area was lovely, it had beds right next to the sea. the staff were friendly, attentive, and professional, i thought.
i wasn't able to walk to fort area because the gate was locked. orange squash was only served at breakfast, i felt it was weird for a hotel like this.

fantastic stay with great views

private pool really good staff top comfort
the location impressed me greatly. it overlooks the sea and sits right next to the fort. i booked the private pool suite, and it was spacious. the washroom's size was comparable to many normal hotel rooms. the room features and overall comfort were top class. the staff were really good and super attentive.
the approach to the hotel is down a somewhat grungy side road, a slight let down.

loud music poor housekeeping
The christmas carnival next to the hotel blared loud music until 1 am. it made sleep impossible. the bedsheets also seemed short and maybe not so clean. The housekeeping seemed to miss a few spots, i think? the food could have been better too. It was sort of a letdown, honestly.
