I almost didn’t rate this so it is not fully booked next time I visit. What an amazing hotel, such a big and clean room, staff are super friendly and I wish I could have stayed for more than two nights. Only a few minutes on a tuk tuk from the Fort (if you can get one!)

This place was heavenly. Close enough to Fort for tuk-tuk far enough a way for a lovely peaceful space. Pool area was lovely. Rooms spacious and comfortable with everything you need.
Breakfast was also perfect and served up to 11.30
They didn't offer dinner but that was no problem as we were able to order Uber eats and they gave us plates
Wonderful massages too
A lovely chilled oasis

Fabulous hotel in a quiet convenient part of Galle. Easy quick tuk tuk ride to fort and great restaurants. Beautiful spacious clean room with classy furnishings and super comfortable bed. Pool area is lovely to relax and unwind. Breakfast was fantastic and served just outside the room on the terrace. Staff really helpful. Totally recommend this hotel.

Beautiful family suite & service
A wonderful 3 night stay in the family suite with two double beds. Service from all the hotel staff was wonderful from the moment we arrived, and they went above and beyond from giving us a takeaway breakfast on our last day when we left early, as well as helping with our hired tuktuk! Hotel is further out of Galle Fort (about a 10min tuktuk drive/25 min walk), but setting of buildings onsite is lovely, centred around the main pool and communal outside area. There is a mosque nearby so you can hear the call to prayer, but didn't disturb us.

Excellent Food/Setting and Accomodations
Excellent/wonderful. Beautiful facility/setting and the staff are wonderful. The breakfast was the best I had in all of Sri Lanka. The dinner choices were wide ranging an excellent. The bed was very comfortable. Excellent water pressure with plenty of hot water. About a 10 minute Tuk Tuk ride to the Fort. Highly recommend.

We had one night in Galle, and were lucky enough to get the ENORMOUS family room - an amazing experience for the entire family.
As it was off season (late October), the hotel was quiet and there was some renovation going on, but it was beautiful and peaceful. Would definitely recommend!
One thing I have to mention: The bedframe extends beyond the mattress and since it's dark wood, it's impossible to see in the dark - two of us came home with some pretty bad shin scrapes :)

Review of Villa White Queen Hotel
The service at Villa White Queen Hotel was absolutely fantastic, without a doubt among the best I have ever experienced. The receptionist showed incredible care for the guests and ensured that our stay was as smooth and comfortable as possible. Despite arriving very early, at 9:30 in the morning, they prepared our room while we had breakfast so we could check in right away, get a few hours of sleep, and then enjoy the rest of the day exploring Galle.
The rooms at the hotel were spacious, clean, cozy, and equipped with excellent air conditioning, as well as a fantastic bathroom and shower. The garden was lush and well-maintained, with a lovely pool where we could relax. Being able to enjoy breakfast and have a drink by the pool made the stay even more memorable.
In summary, our stay at Villa White Queen Hotel was an incredible experience, and I can warmly recommend this hotel to anyone planning to visit Galle!

This delightful villa, just outside the city centre ($2 tuk tuk ride) is a stylish, incredibly welcoming and comfortable oasis from the heat and mayhem of Galle.
The staff will consistently go the extra yard to ensure that you are comfortable and feel welcome and relaxed.
The property is undergoing some extensions which certainly had no impact on my stay and look as though they will be a wonderful addition to an already magnificent property.
I highly recommend and it would certainly be my only choice should I return in the future!

Das Hotel ist sehr nett angelegt und hat uns vor allem aufgrund seiner wenigen Zimmer und dsdurch Persönlichkeit überzeugt. Die Zimmer sind groß und gut ausgestattet. Das Personal ist sehr zuvorkommend und freundlich. Das Frühstück war sehr lecker.
I booked this for my best friend and her husband and i was amazed at how great their service and the place was! recommend this warmly and will surely visit this place once i am down! Thank you so much!
Taken over by Lakmal and his business partner in July 2018 after a couple of years being left to run down by the previous owner this hotel is a gem. Architecturally designed the building is light and airy with huge rooms and ensuites. The suite, should you choose to book it, is enormous. Located away from the centre of Galle it is only s 20 to 25 minute walk or, alternatively, enjoy a tuk-tuk ride - only 300 rupees (£1.30) to Pedley Street in the heart of Galle Fort where many if the restaurants, shops and galleries are found. However, despite all the good points mentioned above, the best feature of this hotel is the management and staff who can't do enough to make your stay the best it can be.
