10/10 Exceptional

I don't know where to begin when everything about The Fort Printer exceeded expectations...and I already had high expectations. If you're considering this hotel you're probably looking at the property and I can assure you that it's every bit as beautiful as it appears in the photographs. On top of that, the service is unparalleled in Sri Lanka. The staff are personable, friendly and attentive. The food and options for dining are fantastic. I enjoyed my a la carte dinner of Lobster curry, and the Sri Lankan breakfast was wonderful as well. The Fort Printers is well located within the Galle fort with clothing and tricket shops close by, as well as other fine dining establishments like The Merchant and Pedlar's Cafe. The ramparts are a short walk in either direction of the hotel. Book a stay here. You won't regret it!

The Fort Printers in Galle
The Fort Printers was totally renovated during the pandemic. The public spaces are tastefully appointed and the room was nice (polished concrete floors and walls and minimalist furnishings). We’d liked the hotel although the food was just ok, especially for the price. We’d been traveling in Sri Lanka for a month and generally had better food elsewhere but overall a pleasant stay.

This is an excellent, stylish boutique hotel located right in the heart of the fort. Great shopping all around, very friendly and helpful hotel staff, quality and charming restaurant for dinner as well as a high end a la carte breakfast that was included. The property is very well decorated and the staff went out of their way to make the stay enjoyable. They even organized us a PCR test to come to the lobby and take care of it for us prior to our flight so we didn't have to go to the hospital.
