Beautiful property
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.
