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

Enjoyable return to Galle
Pros:

Location, beautiful historic villa, well decorated room. Comfy bed. Breakfast was very nice. Staff were friendly.

Cons:

Mosquitoes in reception on arrival. Got a lot of bites upon check-in made for an itchy few days. Had to change rooms as 1st room smelled of paint. Rubbish piled outside on neighbouring derelict building. Not their fault but the area needs a tidy up.
