The Closenberg Hotel

Closenberg was a truly lovely property, offering a relaxing and comfortable atmosphere from the moment we arrived. The surroundings were peaceful, the ambiance was warm, and the overall setting made the stay feel very special. What stood out the most, however, was the staff. Every team member we interacted with was genuinely friendly, attentive, and incredibly helpful. They went out of their way to make sure we were comfortable and well looked after, which made the experience even more enjoyable. Overall, it was a wonderful stay, and I would be happy to visit again.

Location is great , just near to beach and galle fort, staff were very friendly and helpful, managers are very helpful and supportive. No confusion regarding anything , just easy to stay and comfortable. Good swimming pool and lawn.

Nothing to mention as such

Friendly staff, always welcoming people with smile

No clean i felt like i was in hunted room , first of all inside the room was unclean and everywhere we found insects including bath tub . Feel disgusting to use bathroom . Specially with children we cant stay even one day because of dirty and insects . Cupboards and doors are difficult to lock and some of that broken . We cant use the balcony at night time because of insects , we should close the door immediately after the sun set. Poor maintenance. Food was ok but no more special.

Room and beds comfortable

The hotel check in time is 2 pm. I arrived at 2 pm after travelling a long distance and we were very tired. By that time none of the rooms were ready for checking in. It took further 30 min waiting in the lobby.

Place with b3ach. Swimming pool.

Food options were limited.

It has a superb view of the panoramic setting of the Galle coast and fort, and breakfast is not an excellent offering, but we could enjoy; pool and surrounding landscapes are not kept well to enhance satisfaction and experience.

maintenance of the floor, interior, and outdoor garden, which deteriorate the ambience of such a wonderful hotel. It critically needs proper conservation and renovations to ensure the quality experience in a heritage landscapes.

The staff were super lovely and accommodating. The hotel itself was a really wonderful historical experience, with the outdoor pool overlooking the beach was amazing. It’s quite an old building and could do with some TLC and maintenance. Otherwise we loved our stay, it’s in a wonderful location too!!

Infinity pool and location

Rooms aren’t made up daily

Fabulous location on a headland. Lovely old Dutch House and mature gardens

The hotel overlooks a bay which is popular with surfers- and some of the beech bars play techno beat well into the night.

Just terrible

The hitel is just terrible.There arr ants in the room and even in the bed.In the morning I woke up with ants’ bite on my body.The room ead dirty the toweld are dirty almos no water in the shower.Originally I booked 4 nights here ut after the first night we escpaed from here.This hiotel should not be on booking.com

The staff and location of the hotel were excellent.

The photos of the hotel were really outdated,there was no bar and limited food options.

Dis nou 'n hotel met 'n ryk geskiedenis en laat dink my ook aan 'n toneel uit Jurassic Park. Dis die tipe plek waar flieks gemaak word. Dis 'n ou gebou en omdat dit so mooi is, maak dit die plek ekstra spesiaal. Die swembad is so lekker en die uitsig op die see ongelooflik mooi uit die kamer. Die tuine met die apies wat in die bome baljaar gee die plek nog meer karakter. Dis uniek en bekostigbaar. Die badkamer het warm water die lug verkoeler werk heerlik. Ons het ons tydjie in Galle baie geniet in die hotel en sal graag wil teruggaan.

Die badkamer het muf in, maar ek het dit maar mis gekyk, die hotel is in geheel net te spesiaal. Ek hoop die eienaars beplan om verbeteringe aan te bring voor hierdie juweel van 'n plek meer verwaarloos.

We loved the old charm of Closenburg. We were invited to join in celebrations for New Year and made to feel very welcome. Beautiful views over the bay.

the VIEWS!! and old world feel…

needs some maintenance…. bathrooms need a lick of paint and plug for bath..

Only the view and staff was good

Suuuuper dirty

View from the window

Room was extremely dirty. Stained sheets, mold andspiderwebs in the bathroom, dirty floor, dust everywhere, food with no taste. Extremely overpriced.

Exceptionally friendly and polite staff. Loved the colonial charm of the property. Lovely sea view and comfortable bed. Good breakfast serving both western and sri-lankan food.

Does need a major make-over. Whilst I loved the charm of the hotel a lot of work needed to bring it up to a standard. Bathrooms need an upgrade and wi-fi is intermittent

good location, nice stuff, old property and furniture.

Lovely view. The front desk lady was really positive and sweet.

Old tatty and dirty bathroom. Seriously needs updating or some industrial bleach. When I asked for an extra blanket and some water brought to the room I waited and waited and nothing came.

nice view and the original building was impressive

the rooms and bathrooms were incredibly dirty and the property was littered with rubbish - we were quite shocked this was a 3 star hotel
