Amangalla

Beautiful, old hotel, beautifully renovated and decorated. Of course everything is very well maintained and clean. Very nice pool, where you'll want to spend a while. Also remarkably friendly and attentive pool staff, we were shown all the different species of birds that visit the garden. A visit to the sauna and steam bath is highly recommended, which you can use for 30 minutes a day free of charge. Spacious, quiet rooms with all the comforts you could wish for, only a kettle in the room would be a nice addition. We were a little disappointed with the kitchen. The evening meal and breakfast were not bad, of course, but not remarkable or exceptionally good. During our trip through the country, we ate much better in much cheaper hotels and an Aman should strive to stand out in a positive way. Overall, very friendly and hard-working staff who take great care of their guests. If you love old, historic colonial hotels, you should definitely stay here!

I like it very much. Very nice hotel

Overall it meets the standards of Amman, the service is good, and the room facilities are relatively old

All OK, great service!

Amangale is highly rated overall, especially in Sri Lanka, where its cost-effectiveness and level are particularly magnified! The meticulous and subtle service that is not easy to be discovered, the best location and the best view of Galle in the room are all reasons why it is worth checking in! I was also upgraded to a suite👏

Good hotel worth experiencing

There is no doubt about the quality of Amangal. Being immersed in the centuries-old houses and antiques of Amangala and enjoying the meticulous butler-style service, caring and non-intrusive, make this holiday very complete.

Departed for Sri Lanka on September 28, 2023, and checked into the Amangalla Hotel in Galle Fort. It was the sixth Aman hotel to check in. It felt great. Amangalla was built in the 17th century. It was formerly a military command in the Netherlands. It later became the first hotel in Sri Lanka. It was acquired by the Aman Group in 1995. The hotel is not big, but it is well-equipped with swimming pools, massage pools, yoga rooms, etc. , you can experience local shaving services and foot massages. Amangalla is the smallest Aman I have ever stayed in. It is in the middle of the ancient city of Galle and a 10-minute walk from the lighthouse. The surrounding area is very convenient for eating, drinking and entertainment. There is the Tuna and the Crab restaurant, which is a brother restaurant of the one-Michelin-star restaurant in Colombo. If you have enough money, you can try it. Be sure to choose his tea plantation tour, which will also take you to see the sea turtle hatching base and stilt fishing. It was very interesting. Although I fell off and stepped on a rock while fishing on stilts and was injured, I gained interesting photos and a rare life experience. The ancient city of Galle is also worth visiting. Amangalla can arrange cars and tour guides. The hotel is right in the center of the ancient city. The location is good and it is very convenient to go everywhere. Although I fell into the sea while fishing on stilts and cut my feet. All in all, it was still a very interesting experience. The two Amans in Sri Lanka are different from the ones we stayed in before. They are far away from Colombo and do not provide free airport pick-up services. The airport pick-up fee for the five of us was about US$400 in a large amanganla. It should be noted that if two Aman activities are booked for consecutive days, they generally need to be booked from the official website, not Ctrip agents.

Excellent location, excellent service, very beautiful hotel
