Nettes Hotel zentral gelegen in Fort Galle. Gutes Frühstück und freundliches Personal
Pros:

Nettes Hotel im Herzen von Fort Galle, gute Lage, die Altstadt zu erkunden. Die Mitarbeiter waren sehr freundlich und das Frühstück war gut und reichleich. Wir hatten zu zweit vier Zimmer, also reichlich Platz.

Cons:

Die Zimmer waren sauber, jedoch vieles etwas abgenutzt. Preis etwas zu hoch für die Unterkunft, jedoch der Lage entsprechend.

Extremely disappointing so much that we cancelled our second night
Pros:

Not a lot
Very friendly staff & a lovely breakfast

Cons:

This is definitely a hostel rather than a hotel. No hot water, the cold tap with the top detached very basic in every way. I take responsibility for booking it when the very reasonable charges should have made me realise that it was not the sort of accommodation we would book.

Perfect location - friendly, clean and affordable
Pros:

Location is amazing! This is one of the best, affordable stays right in the centre of the fort town.
The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful, and the breakfasts are good.
Again, the location is perfect!

Cons:

The bathroom was gorgeous, but the plumbing is a bit iffy! Nothing that upset our stay, but be prepared.

Pros:

The location is perfect - everything is close by. The breakfast is good. The room was small but it's ok for 1-2 days in Galle. For this price, it's a pretty good room.

Cons:

The music from the cafe was noisy. The room and Wi-Fi could also be improved.

Good but could bebetter.
Pros:

Great location, central to tourist streets of Galle Fort. Nice laid-back atmosphere.

Cons:

Bathroom was a bit deficient. Toilet not attached to floor so moved noisily every time used. No proper drainage from shower - bathroom often smelt of the drain and water spread across the floor.
