    Exceptional villa, wonderful staff, comfiest bed in Sri Lanka!

    Couple of minor things to feedback - The mosquito net was quite dusty where the aircon blows onto it - needs cleaning. Hairdryer missing in our room which was a shame. Aircon was good but it is stuck blowing directly onto the bed which isn’t ideal for us and in the night it started making a super loud high pitched noise which we eventually got to stop - would suggest that aircon unit might need replacing or servicing soon. But none of these things took away from the good stay we had.

    One of the most beautiful hotel rooms I’ve stayed in, spacious, beautifully decorated/furnished, super comfortable bed with buttery soft sheets and squishy pillows. We stayed in the sea view room with bath and It was such a treat to have a hot bath! Shower was also excellent. Breakfast was delicious and huge - little things like having proper strawberry jam and good bread made all the difference - pool small but beautiful, our trip was made even better by a group of monkeys playing in the tree by the pool! The staff at this place are impeccable, super friendly and helpful, little things like putting ceiling fans on by default if we sat down on the sofas made all the difference. If we could have stayed longer we absolutely would have.

    Minor point but would have liked a kettle in our room.

    Fabulous small hotel right in the centre of Galle Fort. Service was exceptional with the team looking after everything. Breakfasts were very good (try the Sri Lankan). Rooms are modern and well equipped. Located in a quiet area, away from the tourist streets but walkable to everywhere.

    The location was superb, we could walk across to the Neptune Bastion, and also to the streets filled with cafe's restaurants, and small boutiques. The staff and the chef were superb and quick to respond to our expectations. Both dinner and breakfast were delightful especially the Sri Lankan cuisine, which the chef explained in great detail. It was like staying in our own home, and a luxury to come home to, after a hot day out in the sun.

    The location is excellent to pop into Galle. Supper was absolutely delicious. Some friends joined us and they had been travelling around for 2 weeks and they said it was the best meal they had had in Sri Lanka.. Breakfast also excellent. The room was very comfortable right next to the swimming pool. Bathroom large and spacious we were only then for 1 night but would love to have stayed longer.

    Beautiful historic property in the heart of Galle Fort

    • Premier Garden View Room
    • Stayed 2 nights

    There were three very small things: 1. I requested the Sri Lankan breakfast the night before, as instructed, but this wasn't passed on to the kitchen team, which meant it was not available. Communication between staff could improve in this respect. 2. I had a slight issue with payment after my bankcard was swallowed by an ATM machine. I think a business of this size should be set up to take American Express. 3. As a suggestion, it would be great if the hotel could work with a local provider to offer massages in rooms.

    Absolutely beautiful property, wonderful room, gorgeous gardens - I never wanted to leave! Staff were very kind and hospital and food was delicious. I would absolutely stay here again.

    At 4 rooms, this is a tiny hotel that feels more like having your own private Villa and household staff. Shanikat and his team both provide excellent service and anticipate so many potential needs that it sometimes makes your trip planning feel obsolete (think candles, lunchboxes, and arranging travel). The interior spaces and courtyard are beautiful and invite you to spend your days lounging here. We enjoyed watching monkeys, lizards, and various birds in the garden. Chef Manjula and Sous Chef Lucky always impressed us with their cooking. Dining in was one of the best food experiences in town.

    Splendid villa with spacious rooms, attentive staff and excellent food. Bed was very comfy and bathtub was a nice touch. lovely light. On arrival asked for jackfruit curry and they went 8 km outside town to find some and then prepared 6 different styles of jackfruit,..and served chilled fresh jackfruit next day. Also served tasty mangoes. 5 mn walk go to Lanka spa for fantastic massage.

Fort Dew Inn next door has a nice rooftop restaurant/bar with excellent curries...made to order but worth the wait while gazing over seascape

    The unfortunate dates that we chose because they clashed with noisy days at the school next door. Not the hotel’s fault, I know! I had to ask for the bathroom conditioner to be refilled as it was empty on arrival and the shower drain needed cleaning. These were promptly dealt with. Having to ring the bell to enter the hotel - the bell can be heard from the rooms. None of these caused us any trouble but for the price of the stay it’s worth considering how to improve upon these areas.

    The exceptional staff who were so friendly and welcoming, the beautifully decorated room, the lush bedding, the cool pool, the delicious breakfasts. The oil burner in the room. The whole ambience. Late checkout.
