The property itself is really beautiful with nice decor and many places to sit. The pool was nice but in the shade so quite cool. The room was very large and comfortable. The staff were very friendly. We were the only people at the whole property so it felt a bit empty and it is a bit out of town - ten minute trip to Galle but we had already stayed in Galle and just stayed here for one night to enjoy the hotel. There are nice views to the ocean etc but one cannot really walk to it from the property easily. The food menu was a bit limited but understandable considering it is a small hotel, and unfortunately when we were there the cook was ill so they got a local person to cook and the food was fine, just limited choices. The prices of alcohol were reasonable for this type of hotel. Overall it's a very nice hotel in terms of decor and the building, but there is so much competition in the area of other hotels that score highly on food, location and decor.

There are a lot of mosquitos at night in the outside area even when wearing full length clothing and using mosquito coils, but it was fine in the room.

Very nice building, great service, nice comfy rooms ; very good service ; excellent welcome cocktail ; people willing to help and make you feel comfortable . Many thanks we'll come again

Could provide list of surrounding activities ; also pool was very nice, water was just OK at the time we were there (could be more clear). Watch out with spicy food ! Could tune up the piano ! Watch out for mosquitos !

Staff were very friendly and welcoming. The views were amazing overlooking the bay.

My room was very basic for the price better cheaper hotels in the area , this is clearly a chain of hotels overselling by marketing.

Lovely hotel overlooking the sea. Very stylish and large rooms. Helpful and friendly staff

The setting and architecture was English colonial style, it felt very aristocratic. The rooms were very big with a comfortable big bed and pillows. We had a swimming pool in our bathroom, which we did use several times, the bathroom was massive with a fantastic powerful shower and double sinks. The property and a really lovely calm and serene feeling. We came back early most days just so we could relax in the quiet of the gardens, watching the sea eagles, mongoose, monkey and squirrels. Ajith Kamara, the Manager at the hotel is absolutely fantastic. He definitely went up and beyond what is expected of a manager, for us personally and with other hotel guests. Ajith is what makes The Postcard Galle the fantastic place it is today. The breakfast, lunch and Dinner was really good also. Great views from the balconies of most rooms of the river and the sea beyond. The swimming pool was also really great to cool down in during the hot days. All the staff were great they couldn’t do enough for any of the guests, making sure you had everything you needed.

The Postcard Hotel is about 6km from Galle Fort where the bars and restaurants are. Galle town is further away. A tuk tuk or taxi is needed each night to go down to where the restaurants are. 1500 rupees one way in a tuk tuk. No beach as such, just a small jetty with sand and a pontoon which is on the river.

comfortable 4 poster bed, fine linens and beautiful mosquito nets. Excellent staff and service. fantastic Sri Lanka breakfast - the best in Sri Lanka. beautiful decor…

nothing except that it was completely empty and also a 15 min tuk tuk ride from the fort.

Absolutely beautiful property and rooms with every attention to detail. What made this stay particularly special was the manager Ajith and his staff. he was so professional, helpful and attentive with anything that we needed. Nothing was too much trouble. We couldn’t have asked for more!

beautiful hotel just a short Tuktuk drive down the coast from Galle Fort. stunning sunset views over the sea. staff went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable, despite very weird circumstances (I was the only guest for my entire stay!)

Amazing staff, great food, a beautiful little spot we never wanted to leave.

Nothing, perfect stay

The hotel is absolutely beautiful. It is just a short tuktuk ride away from the fort and main attractions. The hotel team, especially Ranjan took care of my husband and I from before we reached the hotel until we left. They have great attention to detail and are very adaptable. You really feel the warmth of the staff from the minute you walk in. You can spend hours enjoying the views from the hotel. We loved all the seating areas around the hotel. The chef always cooked delish food and breakfast is perfect as it has variety. The room is huge and comfortable, we luckily were upgraded and got the room with the jacuzzi, highly reccomend getting this room. I would stay here again if I were to visit Galle and will look into other postcard locations. Thank you so much for an incredible stay

The people were great. lively building

The best staff in the world! Beautiful rooms! Stunning property!

Everything

Nothing

Exceeded all exceptions. VERY peaceful. Staff always kind and helpful. Actually went beyond any expectations. Room was spacious and lovely. It was our 25th wedding anniversary and they surprised us with a beautiful cake in our room.

I loved it all.

Beautiful, peaceful, clean property - homely feel and polite staff. No check-in/check out times and no set meal times set it apart from other hotels and make the stay truly relaxing.

The hotel organised a taxi with their regular driver Madu to take us to Galle Fort (one way 5 minute drive) - I asked the rate in advance from the hotel manager and was told it’s not much as he is a regular driver. The driver charged us Rs.4000 at the end of this 5 minute journey which was more than the 45 min taxi journey from Colombo BIA airport to Colombo city centre. What’s more we had to wait 25 minutes for this car to arrive. An Uber would have cost Rs 1200. While tourists can afford this and I would not argue over it, it is insulting that the driver took us for fools and the hotel recommended this driver. Disappointing end to this stay.

AMAZING STAFF! Very helpful, easygoing and friendly! The hotel itself is also amazing, very beautiful and relaxing. Tasty food, cocktails and COFFEE! We enjoyed our stay.
