Fantastic boutique hotel in wonderful spot
Pros:

Fantastic location in the middle of beautiful Galle fort. Character filled rooms and surrounds, friendly and helpful staff and a wonderful breakfast. A spacious room with good air conditioning and bathroom and comfortable beds. The mezzanine works really well for families. Very good value for money.

Cons:

Nothing -only wish we could stay longer as we loved the hotel and really loved Galle-a wonderful place to wander, relax over a coffee or a drink, eat beautiful food and shop. Atmospheric town with very friendly people.

Right in the heart of everything!
Pros:

Parawa House is lovely, right in the middle of the old fort district. The rooms are beautifully decorated and furnished although the bathrooms could do with a deep clean / refurb. The staff were very welcoming and cooked an amazing breakfast! We really enjoyed staying here.

Pros:

My stay at Parawa House was phenomenal! The central location in Galle Fort was unparalleled. The staff was beyond expectation and cannot recommend enough. It was phenomenal. Do keep in mind it is a smaller, local with the exact cultural charm one looks for. 10/10

Cons:

Nothing!

ロケーションは良いが・・
Pros:

スタッフの対応は良かった。ウェルカムドリンクや朝食は満足できた。ゴール旧市街の観光にはロケーションは良い。

Cons:

ロケーション的なものかもしれないが、スリランカで宿泊したほかのホテルと比較するとコスト的に満足度は高くない。

Exploring Galle Fort from the inside
Pros:

The breakfast was plentiful. We had Sri Lankan breakfast the first monring with fruits and pancakes. The second morning we asked to skip the dahl but they forgot the eggs.

Superb
Pros:

Self and wife stayed for two nights. Deluxe Double Room with access to adjoining private lobby was very comfortable. The staff; Samitha, Rumeshika, Lahiru, Madusanka and Niroshan, all were welcoming, cheerful and very helpful. We had three breakfasts. Though limited items were served in the breakfast, the qty was sufficient. It was delicious. We also liked the fresh fruit and fresh mixed fruit juice. Excellent location in the center of Galle Fort, next to Pedlar Street.

Cons:

All good. However, instead of serving Pan Cake in every breakfast, there could be some alternative for the guests, as per their liking, if possible. (Suggestion only)

Amazing location, lovely stay
Pros:

The location was amazing, the breakfast was also amazing. The staff was very helpful and kind. There was power outage and they brought me candles. There was good water pressure and everything was clean.

Cons:

I have to admit it was a little outdated than on the pictures. Still beautiful. It is quite small, but I was staying just one night, so it was ok.
