The communication from Silver Rail was excellent and when we arrived we knew we had made a good choice. The hosts are so warm, friendly and kind and we immediately decided to stay an additional night. The room was exceptional and the bed is so comfortable with new sheets and pillows. The ceiling and ground fans helped to keep the room at a nice temperature but it was also so pleasant to sit out on the balcony and watch the world go by. The shower has a heater so hot or cold water is available and the bathroom is a very good size. Plenty of plug sockets around to charge your electronics and a lovely side light by the bed is a nice touch. Silver Rail is adjacent to the Train line but we found it fascinating to watch people commuting up and down the line. We had a very good sleep for both our nights. There were chairs, a table and some stools and we were offered a pot of tea which was very welcoming. All in all this is a wonderful accommodation hosted by some truly lovely people. We are so glad we stayed here and were made to feel at home straight away. Thank you and we hope to stay again if we ever return to Galle. We wish you only kindness for your future plans and success

Large room just 15 minutes walk from the Galle old town. Really friendly host who made us tea and cake in the morning. Host family also own a shop under hotel so convenient for essentials whenever you need.

The host was very friendly and was always ready to help. The room is very big and the beds are equipped with mosquito nets and ventilators. You hear the trains passing by, but not that often and for a very short period of time. They served me a small breakfast for free in the morning. I was very happy with the stay and would stay a second time.

Had a lovely 2 night stay here. The family is really carrying that you are feeling good. The room was spacious and very clean. There is a small shop downstairs too that sells snacks and water. Totally recommended.

It’s a massive and clean room. If you stop by in Galle, do yourself a favour and book at Silver Rail. The hosts are so kind and friendly. We enjoyed every min and would def be back

I loved it all

About a 10 minute walk from Galle Fort station. The room was completely magical! Surrounded by trees, fireflies (at night) and overlooking the train (where you could watch the different trains and people travelling). Very big bed with mosquito net, and fans meant we slept very well despite the heat. Really clean. Hosts were genuinely incredible, providing a teapot and snack in morning (when she was bringing our tea, a monkey appeared behind her and she had a little fright but we all giggled.)

Nothing, it was perfect.

Amazing stay. Lovely room and great facilities. The family who own here were so welcoming and friendly. Our best stay in Sri Lanka 🇱🇰. A fifteen minute walk from Galle Fort and great value accommodation for the area.

Couldn't ask for better. The family is lovely and very accommodating. I had medication with me that had to be kept in the fridge and this was no problem even though there was no fridge in the room. The breakfast was delicious and plentiful. She even allowed us to take some away with us! The train provides a great atmosphere and the location is perfect.

Good location and friendly staff

The room is really big for 1 person. The family owns the property. Everyone is so friendly and I feel very comfortable. They even gave me wood apple juice. And made tea the next day in the morning but since I was rushing for the train back to Colombo I couldn't drink. Felt so bad. If you don't mind like me to listen to the train passes by go for it.

The room was vers big, the beds were really good too, and the both the breakfast and the service were excellent. I left my phone charger there and they told me and then when I went to pick it up the owner brought me in motorbike to the bus station, which was a big help because it was a hot day. I recommend everyone to borok this place!

The best accommodation I have stayed in my trip..Hospitality is very high and value for money.Room is very clean and big.There are two electric fans and no need for ac..Very close to railway and you should know that when you arrive. But it didn't bother me..the owners informed about it...

Stayed in May 2024

The location wasn't great and there isn't much around. I had no AC in my room, just fans.

The breakfast (3-4 USD) was absolutely amazing and the owners were very kind people. I had a nice stay here for one night before moving on to Unawatuna.
