"Friendly and happy staff in all areas which says a lot about how the hotel is run. Had my room unexpectedly upgraded on arrival due to a fault found with the originally booked room.

Highly recommend staying here to anybody wanting a few days of relaxing peace after touring the country."

"Lovely stay at the Mango House. Very central location and easy to walk everywhere on foot. My room was comfortable, elegant and great for 2 night."

Yara Galle Fort

8/10 Good

"I’d like to say thank you for the staff but the hotel needs to make sure about the manager’s approach with the whole crew. It’s not about working by pressure but work happy. It’s not about you have a perfect service but it’s about to see no pressure in the staff’s eyes. If any guest ask to perfection and the solution will be pressure, that’s clear to no work."
