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 ⭐️

Excellent hotel. Absolutely beautiful. Incredibly friendly and helpful staff that made us feel so welcome. Food was delicious, we had breakfast every morning and it was the best we've had in Sri Lanka. The scenery from all parts of the hotel is Wonderful. The pool is gorgeous and the rooftop bar is great. We enjoyed live music on the Saturday night which was great. We can not say enough good things about this hotel. It was our longest stay in Sri Lanka (5 nights) and we wish we didn't have to leave. The hotel has everything you need but if you do want to explore Jungle beach (free shuttle from hotel), Galle or Unawatuna it is just a short tuk tuk ride away and costs less than a couple of dollars each way. Definitely 10/10 and would highly recommend to anyone coming here.

Nothing, it was exceptional.

The hotel is on a hillside, which is a tuk tuk ride away from everything. This wasn't an issue for us as it meant it was quiet and peaceful at night and we could get a proper sleep. The tuk tuk into Unawatuna is less than £3 and to Galle less than £5 so definitely worth the effort. The staff are extremely friendly and the pool area is lovely with chillout music playing in the background. The food variety is very good and the kottu roti was a particular favourite of mine.

The breakfast options are decent but the kitchen staff need to work on their timings as the toast was warm bread toasted on 1 side and it was brought out too quickly prior to the cooked breakfast. Very minor but meant a lot of food was wasted as it was cold and inedible.

We enjoyed our stay at Agnus so much that we didn’t leave !!! We were going to visit Galle for the evening but stayed and enjoyed cocktails at sunset beside the pool and a delicious dinner at the in house restaurant. There was plenty to choose from, Delicious Sri Lankan curry and European for my teenage son. From the warm welcome to the stunning views we were really blown away. The manager went above and beyond to ensure our stay was perfect - Thank you. The pool bar tender was lovely and made delicious cocktails. The roof top infinity pool was stunning and the boutique nature of the hotel made our stay feel special. Our corner room had spectacular views of the Ocean and the room was clean and tidy, with a nice tiled bathroom. I highly recommend Agnus for an enjoyable place to stay. Many Thanks to all of the staff, regards Rachel

The only negative was it was so nice we didn’t want to leave

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.

Location could be an issue if you don't have transport.

I had a fantastic stay at Agnus Unawatuna.This is my second time here.The room was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped with all the necessary amenities. The location was perfect, close to jungle beach. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, making sure everything was perfect throughout my stay. The sri lankan breakfast, ocean view, pool made the experience even better. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great place with amazing view, pool and food.

Exceptional facilities and view! Lovely sized room, balcony overlooking the water towards Galle Fort, big bathroom. The staff were super friendly and accomodating. The pool was a highlight, perfect place to cool down on hot days. The hotel offers free tuk tuk rides to Jungle Beach which is on the same road. There isn’t much else around the area that you can walk to, but Galle Fort and Unawatuna are a short tuk tuk drive away. Only 15 rooms in the whole hotel, so it’s nice and quiet!

Beautiful pristine hotel. The staff were excellent we felt so looked after and they were so friendly. The pool area was very cool offering amazing views of the sea. Breakfast was tasty and dinner, while it not being too cheap, was also tasty. The room was big in size with a lovely balcony and an amazing view. Shower was very relaxing too.

The only issue would've been the noise. There was some drilling that woke us up that we didn't know was happening. Also because our room was near the reception desk we could hear talking/moving around clearly from our room. However I would stay here again.

From the moment you arrive, you are captivated by the breathtaking ocean views. The rooms are spacious, modern and stunning balconies overlooking the sea. The highlight of the hotel is the rooftop infinity pool, where you can enjoy a spectacular sunset. The restaurant offers delicious meals. The staff is incredibly friendly and attentive, offering a free tuk-tuk service to nearby beaches like Jungle Beach and White Sand Beach. Big thanks to Chaminda for the best service.

The property was set in a picturesque landscape overlooking the Indian Ocean! The views from both the rooftop pool and our room were stunning. We would really recommend the room with panoramic views, it was so nice. The staff were so lovely and went above and beyond for us. It was my friend’s birthday and the staff were kind enough to provide her with a small cake and a bed decoration, which really made her day. The food at the restaurant was also delicious, couldn’t fault it at all. Would definitely recommend a stay.

Nothing 😊
