    Property was nicely decorated, I truly enjoyed the stay.

    The hotel was clean based in a Colonial style building with caring staff. Had well-equipped room with a very comfortable mattress on a 4 poster bed, and I couldn't ask for more. No complaint, the venue exceeded high expectations.

    Make sure you stay in the family room with the view of the church. It was near to Ablution Pool. Moreover, the free wifi was available. This hotel is equal to 5 stars...

    Lovely Hotel in Galle Fort

    Had a fantastic stay at the hotel in Galle Fort. The room was beautifully decorated with plenty of character, and the wooden flooring and high ceilings added to the spaciousness. The hotel's interior, especially the courtyard, was truly amazing and reflected the rich history of the place. The highlight was definitely the food - we had the best Sri Lankan cuisine here, particularly the mouth-watering white fish curry. The staff were friendly and attentive, making us feel warmly welcomed throughout our stay. The library was a bonus with its vast selection of excellent books. Although there was no alcohol license, we were able to enjoy a refreshing drink at the neighboring hotel. I highly recommend this hotel for its charm, great location, and delicious food.

    This hotel is located in a stunning historic area, perfect for exploring the city. the room is very spacious with a lovely balcony overlooking the surrounding streets. the bathroom is modern and clean and the staff is helpful and professional. Breakfast is delicious with many food options. Afternoon tea is a nice touch and the availability of local newspapers is a plus. the hotel offers luxurious spa services and the free access to a nearby hotel’s pool is helpful in the hot weather.

    The hotel does not have its own pool which can be inconvenient for some guests.

    We recently went on a romantic escape and stayed at a small boutique hotel in the heart of an historic town. We loved that the hotel was located close to tourist attractions and restaurants, making it easy to explore. the room was comfortable and had a cozy atmosphere. We also enjoyed the soft and hot drink bar that was open all day long.

    One thing that could be better is the lighting in the room. It was too dim, which made it difficult to read at night.

    The hotel I stayed in provided excellent service and food. Its location was very convenient for exploring the area and getting around. The hotel had a beautiful layout and the staff were extremely friendly and professional.

    The price of the hotel was quite expensive compared to other hotels in the area. the lack of a pool made it difficult to cool off during the hot weather.

    the staff were friendly, attentive, and always ready to help. the hotel itself was beautifully decorated and offered some serious style inspiration. the food and coffee were superb, and the spa was relaxing and professional. the location in the middle of the Fort was ideal for exploring the area, and being right next door to Galle Fort Hotel was a bonus. This was by far the best property we stayed in during our entire trip to Sri Lanka. Cons: For us, it was ideal! 😊.
