Hotel fantastico pero habitaciones algo ruidosas
Pros:

Fantastico hotel en Galle Fort. Tanto la habitación como el baño están genial y son muy grandes, se ve bastante nuevo y de buena calidad, tiene ventilador de techo y airea acondicionado.

Cons:

La habitacion tiene un problema y es que las puertas son muy antiguas y acústicamente están muy mal aisladas, se cuela mucho ruido y si necesitas silencio para dormir puede ser molesto, necesitan mejorar ese aspecto

The tap in one bathroom was a bit dodgy
