Zamran was super nice. The location was phenomenal, close to everything in the fort but only 5 minutes by tuktuk from the train station. It's a beautiful old building with a ron of charm amd character. The AC was crazy effective at cooling down the room. Beds were nice and firm, and the room was blessedly quiet, so I slept like a log every night. And the price was incredibly affordable, especially considering the world-class attentiveness of the staff, the facilities, and the location. Galle is a world treasure, amd there's nowhere there I'd rather stay than Muhsin Villa. I can't wait to go back.
I didn't like that I had to leave before I wanted, but that's life!

A beautiful dutch style Villa run by Zahran and his family boast of 9 rooms which is well suited especially for a group bookings. The vibe, the heritage experience of the Villa is at premium level. Every room has wardrobe, study table, side table, good mattress, has attached neat bathrooms and have amenities like towel, shower gels, soap are provided. The location is the highlight of Galle with the entire street feels like dutch/ french colony with boutique cafes, shopping , spas and hotels. Few mtrs from the Villa is the ocean view and the landmark fort, lighthouse located nearby. Stayed here from Mar 21 to 23, 2025. Overall a peaceful stay and value for money!

My second visit to Muhsin, a simple but lovely hotel/pension inside the fort. Staff are great and have very good English. Bed was comfortable and the shower had a strong flow. Breakfast made to order with tea, fruit and a delicious omelette.
There was nothing I didn't like, but no TV or kettle in the room may put off some guests.

Was initially hard to tell it was the correct place as looks like a jewellery store Couldn’t get the hot water to work Found a dead cockroach next to the bed Single bed was a bit uncomfortable

The immediate warmth and welcome extended by the owner, followed by a comfortable stay in a very convenient location at Galle city
I had a very short stay and I definitely got everything I was looking for. I don't have anything to say in terms of dislike.

Muhsin Villa is a great budget, central spot in the middle of Galle Fort. The hosts are so kind - they live downstairs and have the guesthouse upstairs. The room was simple but had all of the things I needed for two nights. And the rooftop hang spot was very nice to spend time on during evening power outages. The location is perfect for finding good spots to eat, shops to explore, and for watching the sunset from the fort wall. And lastly, when I forgot my entire toiletries bag in my room, the hosts arranged to have it brought to Colombo the next day and I am so grateful for that! This is a business that really cares about their guests and I would definitely stay again if I go back to Galle!
The mosquito net didn't seem to fit the bed super well and the room was a little musty.

Best guest house in Galle!! I found this place recommended in many guides and discover why the first moment I arrived at this place. -the guest house is perfectly located in the center of the old town, which was very convenient to visit the surrounding by foot -I received the most welcoming ever arrival by Zanhran with whom I had great conversations about the local life and he also helped during all my stay with great tips on places to go, where to find my little souvenirs before leaving the country and didn’t hesitate to do few calls to arrange things for me or find the best options for all my enquiries -The room was comfortable, and had a private bathroom. I appreciated the fact that I was close to the rooftop with a great view on all the town from there. I was a bit reluctant to go to a guest house on my own as I was travelling alone but felt reassured and very welcomed from the moment I arrived. I would highly recommend this place for all these reasons!!

The place is less then 10 minutes from the Deniyaya busstation in a very quiet surrounding. Big confy rooms.Good wifi. Bundula does the tour to the park for nine tausend,everything included. The National Park is UNESCO-SITES, not the animals so don't think seeing lots of anmals but Bundula does what is in his power and brings you to 2 waterfalls. Don't miss the upper one.
