Harshana “Wonderful boutique hotel in a great location in Galle Fort”
07 Sep 2025
The staff are incredibly helpful and pleasant. The room was larger than expected - which was a good surprise, and was very clean. The daily cleaning was done really well, and the bathrooms are also in a good state with decent hot water. The location is fantastic - maybe sometimes it gets loud during peak season, but for us we had no noise issues at all. The hotel has been built to keep in line with the surrounding architecture and they've done a great job. It's also very close to get everywhere in the fort by foot - which was very helpful when travelling with a young child. The restaurant has good quality food - a bit expensive - but, had the best pol roti here with a great chicken curry + parippu! I would definitely stay here again - if we're travelling on our own, or with one other family. Keep a look out for the squirrels that you can see scurrying around in the mornings, they're a fun sight to watch for the kids.
