value for money, location, owner

Great little family run guesthouse. Very central in the middle of the fort. the breakfast omelettes are nice and the family that runs the guesthouse is very responsive to every request. wifi is a bit on and off but this seems to be the case everywhere in galle.

We intended to stay only for a couple of nights in Thenu and then move to the Unavatuna beach but we liked the place so much so instead we hired a motorbike and took it to the beach in the morning and sometimes to eat there in the evening also.It's only a 10 min drive.
The family that runs the guesthouse is really friendly and helpful.
You can also observe the familys daily life.They will try to fix anything you ask for.
We bought crab and prawns by the fishermen on the roadside and we cooked it together.yummy.
The fort is a nice place to walk around in but very quiet after 22.

Ideal for exploring Galle
Location, location, location
7.7
We were only in Galle for a night so were just looking for a base to explore the place from. Therefore, our expectations and demands weren't high, and this place was perfect for what we were looking for.
The staff were quite welcoming and attentive and gave good advice about travelling to our next destination. The room was basic but functional. The breakfast reasonable and quite plentiful. If you too are in Galle and looking for a reasonably priced guest house from which to explore Galle for a short time, I would recommend this place.

Must do confirm reservation before travelling.
Good location on the fort
5.3
Un-satisfied when we arrived, our group have 4 member book for 2 rooms separate bed
as available on Agoda website but they arranged us only 1 room, the reason is they do
note down on their record wrong then they separate our group to another guest house
for 1 more room. They have not been the guest house business professional yet so please
be careful when you would like to do check in here.

From the start, everything that had been listed on this site about the hotel was contradicted by the manager. There are plenty of nice hotels run by people who know what they are doing in the area, just have a walk around.

Friendly family run hotel with good location
Well located, this hotel is run by a friendly family. We really felt "at home". Rooms are simple / basic but clean. Good breakfast. Overall good value for money.

Nice stay at Thenu Rest
location, staff, mosquito net
9
Family run guest house in a great location within Galle Fort. Both husband and wife were very friendly and kind, they had a small dog that was really funny (they live in the same building). Place was clean, breakfast was good (standard Sri Lankan accomodation breakfast with eggs, jam, bread and fruit juices), room although old was comfortable. The mosquito net on the bed was a real plus: we had several hours of undisturbed rest.
Good value for money (~38USD)

Ok to stay for 1 night
The location was central. The bed was comfortable enough
6.7
This place was ok to stay for 1 night. Galle fort it more expensive to stay than elsewhere and I don't think sells alcohol. The room was clean. Bed was comfy enough although a bit short to sleep on and sheet wasn't really big enough for both of us. Bathroom was okay but pretty old. Breakfast was nice- a tasty omelet, toast and smoothie although we were waiting for over 30 minutes for it to arrive.
