Luxury hotel with very friendly staff
The rooms, the staff and the pool

This hotel was relatively small and was originally a grand colonial house. The air-conditioned rooms are very impressive with large four poster beds. You really feel like you are living in luxury in this hotel and the staff are so attentive to any request you may have. They will never walk past you without saying hello and asking how you are which makes for a lovely comfortable atmosphere. The only negative for this hotel is that it isn't really walking distance from the city of Galle and is actually about 2 km west from the centre. However, this did not really impact us as we just got a tuk tuk into the centre. We highly recommend this hotel as it is so relaxing and feels pretty luxurious for the price you end up paying.

We spent two nights at Tamarind Hill. It is only 10 mins to the Galle Fort by Tuk. The room is huge, especially the room. Each room has a mini lovely garden. The room is very comfortable. A/C works without much noice. The bed is huge. the Staffs were very helpful.

Profile photos do not do Tamarind Hill justice
The rooms, the design of the buildings, the pool.

If you want a beautiful colonial villa, slightly off the beaten track but still close enough to the beach and Galle that you can splash in the sea, or wander round the small fort, then this is your place. It is not glitzy, but why would you want that. It is elegant and understated, and there are only a dozen rooms. There is not much to do in Galle, but that is not why you are here. This is the place to sip papaya juice on the terrace and write your memoirs. Our only criticism, and it is small, was the blue neon lighting in the bar. It simply didn't fit the place at all. With time, too, the track to the villa will be updated so that it is slightly easier to pop out for an evening stroll. Don't come here however if you want to be able to pop out of the villa and find a buzzing metropolis on your doorstep. This is all about total escape and relaxation. We cannot recommend Tamarind Hill enough.

Love the hotel, its not located in the Old Galle City, however its about 4 kms away from the city and easily accessible from TUK TUKs. The Hotel is a 250 years old colonial house that is converted into a boutique hotel with all modern amenities without losing the charm.
Love the courtyard, pool and the relaxed environment that this hotel offers. If you are looking for excellent food, typical 5 star impeccable service then this place may not be for you.
The breakfast is great, basic snacks like sandwiches, fries, burgers are pretty edible and reasonably priced.
Would love to go back to this hotel for sure!

Our one night stay in Hotel Tamarind was memorable. It is a boutique hotel converted from a very spacious colonial bunglow. Staff was very polite willing to go an extra mile to keep you comfortable. Very nice experience indeed.
