旧市街をサクッと回る
Pros:

Galleの旧市街、海も街並みも見所の真ん中で、選んでよかったです。部屋はレトロだと思えば楽しめました。建具の鍵など使い慣れるのに時間がかかります。
水圧もよく熱いお湯が出ました。

Cons:

初めに担当してくれた女性のスタッフは疲れてついたばかりなのに、次の日の車の手配はしたかとか食事の時間はとか、焦らせたうえに、お支払いのお釣りは持ってこないので、後でかと思うと帰ってしまい次の日もこなかった。チップだと思えばいいのだが、、、だとしたら納得しないチップでした。
その他のスタッフは皆さんとてもよかったです。

Pros:

We had a great stay at Dutch Wall in Galle Fort. The location is excellent, right inside the fort and within easy walking distance of the ramparts, restaurants, cafés, and all the main sights.

The property has a lot of character and fits perfectly with the historic atmosphere of Galle Fort. Our room was clean and comfortable, and it was a nice place to relax after spending time exploring the area. Being able to step outside and wander through the streets of the fort, especially in the early morning and evening when things are quieter, was one of the highlights of staying here.

Breakfast each morning was excellent. The table was filled with fresh fruit including papaya, watermelon and pineapple, along with fresh juice, coffee, toast and fried eggs. We were also served hoppers with a potato curry and a lentil curry, both of which were delicious and the potato curry in particular had a really nice spicy kick to it.

The hosts were welcoming and helpful throughout our stay and were happy to offer advice about places to visit and things to do around Galle.

Overall we really enjoyed our stay and would happily recommend Dutch Wall to anyone looking for a comfortable and well-located place to stay inside Galle Fort.

微妙......
Pros:

ロケーションは最高によく、施設の雰囲気はとても良かった。

Cons:

チェックインした時にタオルがなく対応してもらったが、その後ベットメイキングができていないことを知った。すぐに対応を依頼したかったがチェックインの対応をしてくれたスタッフも不在(帰宅した様子)でレセプションエリアの照明も落としていたために我慢した。汚れたマットで使用済みと思われるシーツで一夜を過ごした。

Quirky hotel in the old part of Galle, with delightful hosts
Pros:

This was a very quaint hotel of 4-5 rooms in the old Dutch part of town, very close to the lighthouse. It had some very quirky features. The owners were very helpful and kind. It was near restaurants and souvenir shops. Aircon was needed as it was very hot and steamy, and it worked well. Breakfast was a mix of Sri Lankan curries, fruits, eggs, bread.

Cons:

All the rooms were upstairs and of course, no lift. Also no tv, nor kettle etc. .

Pros:

Die Besitzer sind sehr nett und hilfsbereit! Er trug uns sie Koffer hoch und wieder herunter. Sie machte uns Sandwiches zum mitnehmen, weil wir so früh abreisen mussten, und half uns, zur frühen Stunde zwei Tuktuks für den Weg zum Bahnhof zu bekommen.

Cons:

Wir haben bei der Abreise vergessen, Trinkgeld zu geben.
