to get started.

The location was perfect and the manager and concierge Sidath Ranasinghe made our entire experience magical. He went above and beyond to procure difficult dining reservations and a premium train ticket through scenic Hill Country at the last minute. He was friendly, courteous, and could not have been more helpful. Highly recommend the property—beautiful, clean, good value, and across the street from Galle Fort Hotel and other top dining choices.

The hotel was completely booked when we checked in so the manager upgraded us to a suite. What a pleasant surprise! The suite had 2 king beds, one long bench for your belongings, a spacious bathroom with a double vanity, bathtub and shower. The hotel has been open for 3-4 months so the room and facilities were clean, modern and pristine. The grounds were also appealing.

Ana, United States of America

Everything is done right! Fast check-in(60 seconds);large ,quiet rooms;strong air-con and ceiling fan ;ample warm shower water ; gracious and smiling staff. Elevator is speedy-though there are only 3 levels. When I mentioned I did not eat eggs or diary milk,they were kind enough to make me high quality porridge with soy milk/bananas for breakfast all 5 mornings. Hotel is located in Galle Fort -yards from 3 of the top -rated boutique hotels/restaurants . They replaced 2 glass bottles of drinking water each day in room.The hotel staff appears well -trained,and the hotel well -managed. Strong wifi in room and restaurant. Blooming Frangipani trees in hotel courtyard add to the enchantment.

Friendly staff, great food. Lucky to find this place right inside fort itself.

Shamin, Sri Lanka

Very comfortable rooms in a beautiful building, immaculately restored. Best hot shower of all our rooms is Sri Lanka. Great and helpful staff. Try to get a room on the upper floors, overlooking the Frangipani trees in the garden, they are nicer than the ground floor rooms.

Restaurant is very slow. Waiting time is between 30-60min. The only minus points I would give to the room is that it’s very dark since there is very little daylight and the WiFi is very slow.
Very good location! Loved the big bed 😊 great with kids. Good value for money! Stuff was very friendly!

Breakfast wasn’t included in the price which was already a little steep in comparison with everywhere else we stayed in Sri Lanka. However, I think Galle Fort prices are just more expensive generally than other parts of the country!
Beautiful building in the perfect location right in the heart of the fort. Staff were friendly and helpful and our room and bed were huge! Breakfast was your choice of either western style or traditional Sri Lankan, both were yummy and massive portions!

Generally it was all good however the double double beds while very comfortable aren't really romantic; would have been better if they had of supplied a single kingsize bed.
Breakfast was excellent, Sri Lanken food almost as good as it gets Location was perfect

This property is a heritage property located a short walking distance to the lighthouse within Galle Fort. All restaurants and shops are easily accessible on foot. It was a very comfortable stay and wifi was very quick in the room. They have a on site restaurant as well. The hotel price is great value and short tuk tuk ride to beautiful beaches.

The room is a little too small. We asked the hotel staff to give us one more chair, otherwise, there is only one stool in the room that the other person needs to sit in the bed.
The location is great. So close to all the museums and you can wander around the old town easily. There are so many shops, restaurants and interesting spots. The staff are really nice and kind. The room is clean. I love the terrace and the atmosphere. You actually feel you are in the heritage.

I can’t really complain about anything. We loved this place. The only thing it didn’t have was conditioner.
This place is a total gem. My friend and I had been traveling for a week and a half through Sri Lanka and stayed here for our last night before flying out of Colombo - to treat ourselves to a little bit of luxury. And luxury it was! The A/C alone was divine and the room clean and spacious and well appointed ... but the entire property is gorgeous and so well kept and the staff super friendly. And the manager was terrific. Our flight out of Colombo was in the evening so we didn’t have to leave Galle til about 3:30 and he not only quickly arranged a driver, but also allowed us a late check out so we could explore the town (in 40 degree heat!) and then come back to our room for a shower and to gather our things before meeting our driver. Would DEFINITELY recommend!!
