Fantastic small hotel in the middle of Galle Fort. For the life of me I don't know why it is a three star - it behaves like a five star. Excellent.

I booked a two nights and had to leave after one night because it was absolutely unpleasant. The front desk staff, especially a young woman that checked us in was very uncomfortable and unprofessional in her demeanor. She never greeted us when she saw us on a number occasions just gave us distant, dirty looks. Upon check in she never explained anything about the room or how things work except the breakfast. The room was very uncomfortable - there were giant bugs and a lot of mosquitoes. At night noises from upper window in the roof of a rat or cat or some other animal sliding and scratching the surface. It was scary to wake up to that noise a number of times. The bed is way too low and uncomfortable for sleeping. For someone with a knee injury like mine it was very very uncomfortable to get on and off and sleep. Constant fuel/smoke and smell from the tuk tuks and cars driving pass as the room faces directly a busy street. Too much noise snd smoke. Plus windows cannot be opened for that reason of the smell and privacy. There are no amenities in the toilet and a gigantic big had to be removed. We felt dirty and unpleasant in the hotel so even though we booked two nights and it was non refundable we decided to take the financial loss and leave early the next morning after breakfast which wasn’t great either. We booked another hotel and felt much more comfortable there. Also upon check out, the same young woman who check us in was super ignorant - did not greet or even us leave.

Beautiful property in an amazing location. Gorgeous spacious rooms & bathrooms and a lovely pool. However, the service was quite slow at breakfast and the dinner in the restaurant was very expensive.

Beautiful historical hotel
Wonderful hotel with the best service and breakfast we have received anywhere, during a month of travelling. The prefect room was large, two sinks, beautifully kept, with instant access to the pool. Our early departure meant we received a wake up call with a take away breakfast: a nice touch

Highly recommended!
Beautiful room, well appointed, the staff were lovely. Breakfast was excellent. The hotel is located right in the middle of the old fort area, despite this the rooms were quiet. The pool was lovely & great to escape the heat of the day. The meals at the restaurant were excellent. Great value for the quality of hotel. Highly recommended!

Beautiful colonial building, very kind staff that let me stay much later for check-out. Perfectly located in the middle of Galle Fort. The only problem was the key to open the room, ancient and beautiful, but very fiddly.

Excellent boutique hotel in Galle Fort
We booked 3 nights on 2 separate bookings. For the first 2 nights we were upgraded to a room in the main building.Thoroughly well run hotel with attention to detail. Nothing too much trouble for them. They seemed to be falling over themselves to be nice to us.Hotel situated in the centre of Galle Fort. Tastefully converted building. Super pool, great for cooling off. Good breakfast included - we opted for the Sri Lankan Hoppers with mango lassi etc.
