10/10

My wife and I stayed here for 5 nights at the end of a 6 week tour of Southern India and Sri Lanka. It's a beautiful small hotel that has retained the building's history, yet is comfortable and has modern facilities. It has an lovely calm atmosphere which was exactly what we were looking for. The staff we engaged with were all excellent and friendly. It's in a great location, right in the middle of the Fort. 10/10

Very welcoming staff, nothing was too much trouble.They had a very good restaurant with Moroccan and Sri Lankan food. Rooms are large as are bathrooms and right in the middle of the fort so walking everywhere is easy. We would return.

Beautifully designed hotel with excellent food in a central location. But there’s a lot of road noise and dogs barking so you don’t get a good sleep. There’s no car park despite parking being listed. The Wi-Fi doesn’t work in the bedroom.

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 was asked to pay for the room when I checked in, which we had already paid. The staff left the room key outside the room without telling us. The wifi connection was extremely poor, there were bugs in the room and it was very noisy. Not recommended at all.

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
