    Lovely, artistically done . The staff was very kind. They even helped us arrange last min local accommodation when we were running late for our next leg. The place is close to everything worth going to. Highly recommend

    Great choices. Fantastic and attentive staff. Wish that hoppers were cooked after we placed our order. Riswi, Mithun, Arkansas and other staff were so helpful and friendly. Served us with a smile. Will be back definitely.

    If there was something I didn’t like, the room I was in was near the kitchen so I could hear most things also could hear the guests in the adjoining room clearly.

    A beautiful decorated boutique hotel in a good location away from the busy part of the fort but walkable all around. All the staff were very friendly and always happy to help with anything. It was good to see the hotel is making an effort to reduce the use of plastic - water bottles and toiletries. Sri Lankan breakfast was very filling and tasty.

    Nothing really. Everything was perfect.

    Everything. Perfect service, food and perfect room. It was much better then we expected. We totally recommend. Very well located in the middle of the fort. You can visit everything by foot in few minutes. A great breakfast, western and sri lankan as you wish. A very confortable room with very nice bed, perfectly cleaned and hot water. Good wifi. Free water if needed. A nice small hotel where you will feel welcomed and could relax. Thank you to all the team.

    It was centrally located and within a walkable distance from the Galle Fort. The property was beautiful. The rooms were nice and clean and the staff were very warm and welcoming! We really enjoyed our stay and look forward to staying again.

    Beautiful design, gracious hospitality, located in a less dense part of the fort. Appreciate the avoidance of single-use plastic in the room (drinking water). Favorite eateries nearby include Elita Seafood and XIXI cafe.

    Nothing!

    This hotel was beautiful and perfectly located within the fort (not too close to any noise but within the fort walls). The service was exceptional and so friendly, we had great breakfasts, had laundry done and they arranged a driver for our onward travel. The rooms are tastefully decorated along with the whole hotel interiors and comfortable.

    Nothing - we enjoyed our stay very much.

    Excellent location on the edge of all the busy Galle Fort area - but only a couple of minutes walk away. Beautiful building and a very comfortable room with all amenities needed. Charming and attentive staff ( Thank you Mohammed and Thank you Hiroshi ) and the management team were also on hand. Really well appointed in style. The courtyard is gorgeous. It is quite deceptive as to how lovely the hotel is inside from the street.
