“Great choice in Galle Fort”
08 May 2025
I loved this hotel, the welcome drinks were amazing. The size of the room, the aspect, the bed and the bathroom were really lovely. It was a comfortable stay all round. Breakfast was great, plentiful and fresh, made to order. The location was so good, right in the centre of Galle Fort, easy to walk the entire Fort area. I was interested in shopping at Barefoot although the shop in Colombo is much better. I had a massage at the Spa Ceylon branch on the corner from the hotel. It was a fantastic massage experience. We had dinner at 'The Archives' a short walk from the hotel and it was amazing, would recommend. I really enjoyed this hotel. before dinner we went for a drink at the Galle Fort Hotel, we sat on the verandah and enjoyed the history of the Fort. For a one or two night stay the absence of a swimming pool was not an issue. The hotel room was very comfortable as were the common spaces.

Breakfast was very good . Major plus point is the location . If one wants to soak in the culture n stay inside the galle fort , this is a great choice
