Incredible views directly to the ocean. It couldn’t have been better. The sound of the waves was like a meditation to me- I slept really well. The space downstairs was perfect for the yoga session- really calming, with relaxing views and I truly enjoyed the yoga class. The owner is very friendly and helpful and advised us about beach and where we could park. In the hotel there’s a parking for 1 car only, so book in advance.

The staff compliments the story behind this Colonial Masterpiece and they were Excellent. Service, Quality, Food and Drinks.

    Galle is a city with a combination of a Dutch period fort and beach with all modern facilities. Dutch Fort is a very live well, reserved place with excellent attractions and choices. Walking over the museums and art galleries located in preserved ancient buildings is an excellent experience. fairly good nightlife available with ample choices of fine dining. within Fort, they charge higher prices due to high tourist demand. yet affordable eateries, supermarkets and facilities are available out of Fort within walking distance. Also people in Galle are very friendly, professional and helpful .

    Coming from a young Country (New Zealand circa 1840), but aware of Sri Lanka's varietal Dutch, Portuguese, British, Colonial Histories, I found the Buildings left behind by the long ago passing presence of these Nations, amongst the reality of present day life within the confines of the Galle Fort, an alluring, appealing and enticing cocktail of fortuitous personal experience, and would encourage all who might be so disposed and contemplating a visit, to definitely list Galle as a Priority, Not to be Missed...

    we just love every details in this area, it’s just amazing, and unique, it’s like you really live inside the fort , but it’s too much overpriced, l means when l spent 300 dollars on 2 nights, this is too much expensive in srilanka, therefore i expect a 5 stars service, but the luxuries inside the hotel is not very good, it’s not really a clean hotel , we change our bathrobes two time, because it’s wasn’t too much clean, but the experience is worth it, they should work more on the cleanliness of the place

    Lovely owner, great vegan breakfast that was especially provided for us. We got awesome Sri Lankan breakfast and also an avocado toast, which was really very delicious. Never thought it would be possible to get such a good avocado toast in an Asian country :-) The room was big and clean, everyone was very helpful and the location was good as well. Near to every place we wanted to visit and also the price was good compared to other hotels directly in Galle Fort. Highly recommended

    We had a wonderful stay at Villa White Queen that still is one of our best stays in Sri Lanka during our 3 month travel. Chamara’s attentiveness, together with the facilities really made for a personal and luxurious boutique experience. Even though the hotel is situated outside of the old town the stylish 5 min TukTuk ride just added to the experience. we have already booked our next stay here together with family and friends.

The food, and we had great Sri Lankan breakfasts every morning. The price, which was very reasonable given the quality of the room, breakfast, service and location, especially compared to what I saw from other hotels with a similar colonial aesthetic.

Room is very clean and tidy with all basic amenities such as mini fridge, locker etc. The bed was so comfy with clean linen. Specious and clean both rooms. Galle Fort is just 3 minutes tuktuk ride from the villa. Service was excellent. All in all, the best place we stayed in Sri Lanka in our entire trip.
