Really great.
Pros:

Centrally located, in the middle of Galle. The staff especially were super friendly and helpful. Interesting building and room design.

Cons:

A few very minor things - sink tap in the bathroom was really loose and the outside private terrace area from the room could’ve done with a smarten up, but these were small things. Breakfast was really nice but would’ve been good if all the cooked breakfast items came together rather than separately. But the above are tiny details and my stay was lovely. Would thoroughly recommend.

Vriendelijk personeel. Mooie, schone kamer. Top locatie.

We sliepen naast de generator, dus als de stroom uitviel hoorden wij een tijd een heel hard geluid.
