Geen aanrader
Pros:

De locatie in het fort.

Cons:

Kamers zonder buitenraam, trap via keuken. Zeer brandgevoelig, lijkt me niet toegestaan.

Pros:

We spent one night in Le Jardín du Fort and it was lovely. The location is absolutely incredible and the staff working here are all so lovely and welcoming. They made sure we had everything we needed from the start to the end and provided us with the best service. Would recommend this place to anyone. Rooms are lovely and clean with hot showers and working air con. The vibe of the place is also very nice. The breakfast was excellent.

Charming place with wonderful staff and fab location.
Pros:

Such a charming place to stay. Loved the quirky style, lovely rooms and kindness of all the staff we met. Sanjay in particular was really attentive and helpful to us. The breakfasts (& lunch/dinner options) at their restaurant “Puppets were really tasty and great value. All in all, we thoroughly recommend staying here - if you want to be somewhere with bags of personality and in the charming heart of the Galle fort area - choose here!

Cons:

Nothing. All was lovely.

Quirky bijou hotel with lovely staff
Pros:

Quirky and cute. The rooms were comfortable. The staff were polite , friendly and helpful. Central location was good for walking out. I had the breakfast granola bowl with fruit which was delicious.

Cons:

The rooms were cute but lacked space if you wanted to unload your suitcase. A couple of days was perfect.
