High-end property in Galle
Pros:

A beautiful, luxury property. Huge bath and very comfortable bed. Air conditioner worked well.

Cons:

Due to the layout of the property, the sound travels from the kitchen and reception area into the room. Ie Don’t expect a sleep-in as they make the (excellent) breakfast.

Amazing hotel in Galle Fort
Pros:

This is by far the most beautiful hotel we had in Sri Lanka. The hotel itself is a heritage building with a lovely courtyard. The building and the room were beautiful and comfy. We got a tasty mango juice as welcome drink. The breakfast is delicious and freshly prepared. The staff is really kind and helpful. We could even fill our water bottles in the hotel since they had filtered water. The location is great. The attractions of Galle Fort all are in walking distance. There are amazing restaurants and coffee shops around. There is just a little traffic and it is forbidden to honk in Galle Fort, so we had a very quiet night.

Cons:

There is nothing to complain about!

Fantastic locationn in Galle
Pros:

A couple we met on our trip told us about this place. It’s a fantastic location, right inside the fort, but quiet. Great breakfast - one of the best we had in our 3 week holiday. Make sure you visit The Bungalow restaurant when you’re here!

Cons:

We would have loved a pool - there’s room for one in the courtyard!

Pros:

Tolles, kleines Hotel mit einem wunderschönen Innenhof und sehr stilvoll eingerichtetem Eingangsbereich und sehr schönen Zimmern. Super Lage im Fort mit vielen Möglichkeiten (Restaurants, Shops, Sightseeing).
Großartiges Frühstück mit riesigen Portionen (hatten die lokale Version mit Roti, String Hoppers und verschiedenen Curries), dazu gab es eine riesige Fruchtplatte sowie Joghurt mit Müsli. Unglaublich freundliche und zuvorkommende Mitarbeiter. Wir würden jederzeit wieder kommen!

Cons:

Die Klimaanlage ist in der Nacht leider mehrfach ausgefallen und musste neu eingestellt werden.
