Best location of the fort,near the light house beach and close to the busy pedlar street, however calm and quiet in the property ensuring good rest. Breakfast choices were many, we had sri lankan and french breakfast each, couldn't decide wich was the best. Tasty, appetizing and authentic. Rooms were clean and comfy. Overall great use of space. Old dutch house turned into a beautiful hotel while keeping the original soul.

The welcome was charming and jazz piano playing from the first floor. We had the King’s suite which was really lovely on the top floor. They left delicious coffee for us on the beautiful balcony overlooking the lower floors. It was perfect for our one night stay. The staff were very accommodating.

    If you're going to Galle, stay inside the Fort.

    If you're going to Galle, stay inside the Fort. Lots of charming little villas and boutique hotels where you can drop your bags and go walkabout, soaking in the colonial charm and enjoying the relaxed vibe. Great food options, live music and incredible sunsets.

    The vibe that Galle fort shares during anytime of the day is marvelous. It is a super child friendly place with amazing shops and places at every corner. It has the ambience of a unique blend between antiquity and modernity filled with aesthetic taste of rich culture and art. Seems its potential is still untapped fully. Loved the eateries and little cafes designed with elegance and charm. It showcases the serenity of a typical European port city with Dutch colonial architecture.

    We originally had one full day planned at Galle but we ended up being there for longer. We didn't need to be there any longer than one day. The walk around the Fort was lovely but there were not really many good shops to see and it was a little touristy in the Fort. Unfortunately they still let cars and motorbikes and Tuk Tuks in the street of the Fort which was difficult to navigate. Not really much to do in Galle except for the Fort.

    Galle is a beautiful coastal city that blends colonial charm with tropical vibes. Walking through the Galle Fort feels like stepping back in time, with its cobblestone streets, vintage buildings, and ocean views at every turn. The atmosphere is peaceful yet full of character, with cozy cafés, art shops, and friendly locals. A must-visit destination for anyone exploring southern Sri Lanka!

    This is a cool city to visit.

    This is a cool city to visit. The cobblestone streets inside the fort take you back centuries & add to the fantastic historical charm of this town. There are great restaurants around Peddlers St and plenty to do exploring the fort & the nearby beaches. Unfortunately, our stay here was too short & we were unable to explore further outside the fortress walls. Save that for next time.

    This accomodation was amazing. Very beautiful garden, pool and rooms. Breakfast was very good (one of the best we had in Sri Lanka) and all the stuff was super lovely. We stayed with small kids and they all loved it. It is very quiet there and peacefull. It is about 15 minutes by tuk tuk to Galle or to the beach, so the location was also convenient. We enjoyed our stay there very much. We choose it as a last relaxing place at the end of our Sri Lanka stay and it definitelly ticked all the boxes.

    It’s in the thick of Galle fort, we wanted a taste of a small European style coastal stay and that’s exactly what we got. You can literally stumble out of bed and be sitting at a sidewalk cafe in a matter of seconds. It’s the perfect location to explore the fort without any additional travel time needed. The breakfast that is served is traditional Sri Lankan style breakfast and the staff and the staff talk you through it and how to eat it. Which felt both educational and empowering.

    I spent two weeks exploring Sri Lanka & in Galle I stayed two nights in the delightful & perfectly located, small & homely, classic style Arches Fort Hotel. The staff under the direction of the the very personable Manager Wasantha made me feel welcome - a lovely environment to be based in to explore this fascinating historic old town (& don’t miss the delicious Sri Lankan style breakfast!) I highly recommend Arches Fort Hotel for your visit to Galle.
