Pros:

The vibe, the dutch style architecture made the place look truly surreal. The pictures on booking.com don't do justice to how beautiful the hotel was. Our room, the corridors and frangipani trees is what I will remember from this stay. Though Gall fort town itself is not too big either but this hotel.was very centrally located from all key attractions!

Cons:

Breakfast was set menu and quite nice, however, simple things like pancakes too them half an hour to make. Rest of the breakfast was quite delicious and presented like a Michelin star restaurant 😋

Perfect choice for last night of our holiday. Beautiful hotel and location and enormous breakfast. Thank you!!!
Pros:

Fantastic choice for our last night in Sri Lanka. Very welcoming staff and welcome foot massage! Beautiful room, very clean and cool. Excellent location, great choice of restaurants nearby and lots of shops for last minute gifts. Really enjoyed the breakfast, we opted for a mix of continental and Sri Lankan and there was a very generous amount!
