Cute boutique stay in the middle of Galle Fort
Pros:

This is a very cute, 6 room boutique hotel right in the middle of the Galle Fort area. Both the room and bathroom were small, but very well appointed. The bed was super comfortable and my room (5) also had a very pretty outdoor terrace. The breakfast, which was served in the internal courtyard, was generous. There is some ambient noise during the day from an adjacent-at-the rear cafe, but it wasn’t obtrusive. In any event, the cafe in question closed at 8pm. Housekeeping was slightly haphazard, but that was also no big deal. All up, it was great value and I would happily stay here again.

Pros:

Loved the location, friendly staff and breakfast. They even gave us a takeaway breakfast to eat on the train when they realised that we would be missing breakfast on the second day.

Cons:

The room had so many mosquitos. There were also no mirrors except in the bathroom. The upstairs bed was very uncomfortable.

Pros:

外觀漂亮

Cons:

房間冷氣漏水嚴重，無法處理。晚上被蚊子咬，房間沒有驅蚊用品。早餐分量不清晰，以致多叫了食物。跟職員需求要咖啡，卻拿來了茶，而好像聽不懂也沒在跟進。職員留意到我們在搬行李下樓梯，卻沒有幫忙。

Kiva hotelli hyvässä paikassa
Pros:

Erinomainen sijainti Gallen vanhassa historiallisessa osassa. Kauniisti remontoitu ja toteutettu hotelli. Hyvä aamiainen. Ystävällinen henkilökunta.

Cons:

Huoneessa oli safety box jota ei oltu pultattu kiinni mihinkään. Oli pieni ja suht kevyt, olisi helposti lähtenyt jonkun matkaan.
Huonosti tilaa matkalaukuillle. Ainoa paikka oli pitää avoimena lattialla (olimme vain yhden yön joten pidimme tavarat laukussa).
