Agnus Unawatuna

We’ve just returned from a second, 2 week trip to Sri Lanka & spent 6 of those days at the wonderful boutique Agnus Hotel. Our room was clean, well equipped & comfortable, the hot water does take a bit of forethought though. The food was great especially if you eat from the Sri Lankan section of the menu. They do drinks very well, be aware there’s an inclusive 10% service charge included. The hotel provides a free Tuk Tuk service to Jungle Beach which includes a beach towel & a bottle of water. The roof top bar, balcony & pool give uninterrupted views of the bay & has ample seating & very comfortable sun beds with cushions & towels. The small retinue of staff though are off the chart, I cannot praise them highly enough. Front of house, poolside, housekeeping, waiting on & reception staff where incredible & that in itself is worth a return visit alone. Thank you everyone at Agnes for a wonderful & memorable holiday 5 ⭐️

A little slice of paradise! Firstly, every single member of staff who works here were incredible. So friendly, lovely and helpful and they were so nice with my little boy. The hotel is beautiful! We had room 6 which had panoramic views from jungle beach to Galle fort. So beautiful and perfect for watching the sunset. The room was really modern, clean and comfortable and plenty of space and nice touches. The infinity pool on the roof was beautiful, amazing views - especially at sunset! Breakfast is amazing! 4 courses every morning. In fact all of the food is delicious, we had half the menu and it was all amazing, especially the Sri Lankan currys and homemade ice cream. One night they had a bbq on the roof top for sunset which was so good, as well as an amazing singer. The location and views were perfect. Free tuktuk to jungle beach and back which is the best beach for swimming, lovely food and great little boat trips. The spa was also so good and the ladies that came were brilliant. I’m running out of adjectives now but book this hotel, you will not regret it!

Wow, an incredible stay. The pool was beautiful, and the sunsets from the rooftop are incredible! 10 min walk to Jungle Beach or they do a free shuttle. Unawatuna beach is 5 min tuktuk away, Galle fort around 15 mins. Totally worth being up on this tranquil cliff out the way of the busy beach areas. The staff were so lovely and helpful, offered a refreshing welcome drink and we checked out early to get the train and they packed us a breakfast. The menus are extensive and the drinks were the best I’ve had in Sri Lanka! The room was beautiful, we had a corner room with 180 views and a balcony! While it’s slightly more expensive than other hotels, its absolutely worth it and looks even better in person.

This hotel is an absolute gem, nestled on a serene hill that offers breathtaking views of the historic Galle Fort. From the moment you arrive, you're enveloped in tranquility and treated to stunning surroundings that feel like a dream come true. The rooms are nothing short of spectacular, with an enchanting view that perfectly complements the tasteful and elegant decor. The culinary experience is equally impressive. With a menu filled with mouthwatering dishes and refreshing drinks, every meal is a delightful journey of flavors. Whether you're enjoying breakfast with the sunrise or savoring cocktails as the sun sets over the Fort, the dining experience is unforgettable. For anyone looking for a perfect blend of luxury, comfort, and beauty, this hotel is a must-visit. A hidden treasure that promises relaxation, indulgence, and memories to cherish forever.

Excellent location out of the hectic Unawatuna and away from the busy centre of Galle. We had a scooter and could get to the old fort in 15 mins and Unawatuna in about 10. If you don't have your own transport this could be an issue. Otherwise staff were great...Ranjith the manager on the front desk is always happy to help with info and entertaining stories. Food was good. SriLankan Breakfast recommended. Rooftop was great to check the view and to have a dip. Very peaceful up there with a nice breeze too. The room was really well appointed and cleaned to a high standard. We stayed in August, price was very reasonable for the quality we received.
