    We loved staying at the property. Although our booked room wasn’t available because of renovations, they kindly gave us a lovely better room with a great view over the sea. Breakfast was delicious and samitha did everything in her power to help us. Suggesting good places to eat, arranging the laundry as well as booking a tuktuk to get us to the station at an early time. We loved staying here and we cannot wait to come back.

    The only comment would be the mattress. I would recommend a mattress cover.

    The property has lots of character and is in a very good location for exploring the fort area.

    The hotel should make it clear in booking details that they charge 3% fees if you pay by CC.

    The location is right in the old fort but very quiet. The hotel itself is beautifully designed. Very clean room and the bathroom has huge windows that we keep open to let out the humidity. Great sitting area. breakfast is beautiful. The staff is lovely. Good value

Excellent breakfast served in the garden. Super friendly staff especially the lady overseeing the property. They accommodated our luggage until we left to catch the train.

    The humidity of the climate can make the rooms feel a bit stuffy but you do have air con and a fan to help. The mattresses looked rather old and worn.

    The location is perfect, very close to all the attractions of this beautiful place. Great atmosphere, very stylish and historic, in keeping with Galle.

    Parawa House is a beautifully renovated house on a picturesque, quiet street In Galle Fort. The rooms are thoughtfully designed and comfortable with a peaceful outdoor space. The breakfasts are delicious and set you up for the day. The staff are friendly, attentive and helpful. I had a great stay at Parawa House.

    Location was fantastic inside Galle fort, just off Peddler Street. Kids loved the bunk bed style room, and beds were comfortable. Bathrooms clean, and the whole place was adorable with lots of rustic charm and a beautiful courtyard and nice places to sit and read & relax. Breakfast was lovely and staff were very helpful and friendly.

    The AC needs to be on the whole time while you go out in the day. Otherwise, the hot air will stay at mezzanine and it will be very hot. Wifi dont work well until we put the router from a corner of the floor to the table. Parking is 2 streets away.

    We booked a room of 4 with the mezzanine with 2 beds on top. The location is fantastic.
