    I cancelled a booking due to Internet issues. And swiftly booked up this place, after testing out their Internet over a cold beer. The staff were absolutely incredible. Can't commend them enough. So friendly and welcoming
    Nothing. Perfect.

    Wonderful
    The breakfast was great, there was a big choice of options. The food we chose was tasty and well presented. The staff were very welcoming upon arrival, which was appreciated after a long wet day of travelling. Quiet and in a fantastic locations. We were able to take a walk around the Dutch fort wall early before breakfast.
    Generally great however we had dinner at the hotel in the evening, while the food and drinks were tasty we ended up not being served what we had ordered. We decided not to make a fuss and ate what we were given as it looked great and was tasty.

    Quality hotel
    Right in the heart of the old fort with everything within walking distance. Great restaurant and super breakfast offeringit is also served to you which is always a bonus. We got a last minute reduced rate so value was high. At the regular rate I would not have considered the hotel in my shortlist so my review is based on the rate of $80 we paid. I think it was great value at this rate perhaps less so if $120 was the full rate. High quality linen and comfy bed. Room very clean, on the smaller size but very adequate.

    Charming Hotel with a lot of Character in the Centre of Galle Fort.
    This is a lovely hotel in the centre of Galle Fort. The staff was fantastic, the breakfast is really good (there is a Sri Lankan Curry or several European brunch style, they also have Barista coffees which is a definite bonus if you like to start your day with a coffee. The rooms are tastefully decorated and comfortable.
    The room we had was a good size but had a lot of furniture in it. More of an observation than a complaint. If you eat there just bear in mind that taxes and service charges (totally 25%) are added on to the menu price, it is mentioned on the menu and the food quality is good as is the service, so again more of an observation than a complaint.
