Cons:

Die Unterkunft hat unsere Reservierung am Abreisetag mit der Begründung, dass das Hotel vorübergehend geschlossen ist, annulliert.

Als wir dann vor Ort waren, war das Hotel normal geöffnet.

Très confortable mais séjour rendu triste par le manque de sourire et d’attention du personnel
Pros:

L’emplacement, le confort et le calme

Cons:

Le personnel peu attentif. Aucun service ou presque. Tout est silencieux. Ça manque de sourire et de chaleur humaine, d’attention. Les hommes qui sont là attendent patiemment que ça se passe, ils sont assis en bas et dorment parfois. Un très bel hôtel « fantôme »

Beautiful hotel! I’d stay again for certain!
Pros:

Beautiful hotel with a gorgeous, spacious room. Friendly welcoming staff. Great location in Galle Fort. I noticed in previous reviews that people mentioned that a small fridge would be a good addition to the room….they’ve taken this suggestion on board as we had a small fridge.

Soggiorno gradevole
Pros:

Struttura in cui respiri la storia : una gran bella villa dal sapore coloniale, con arredi del periodo.
Posizione ottima per girare il centro di Galle

Cons:

Qualche ammodernamento in più non sarebbe male , ma siamo stati anche fortunati 😊 I primi ad avere un frigobar in camera (vuoto perché era stato appena installato, ma c’era )

Fantastic central location, gorgeous building, huge room
Pros:

One of our best stays in Sri Lanka. We had a huge twin room (2 double beds) in this beautiful historic building. The location is amazing - right in the middle of everything. We were working remotely and the communal spaces (sofas and dining areas) were a bonus - this place would be great for a group rental with all the open plan communal space. The lack of breakfast was not an issue for us at all as Galle is full of lovely cafes within easy walking distance, there is a kitchen in the house we could have used. The staff were lovely and helpful with laundry etc.

Goed centraal verblijven
Pros:

Goede locatie, mooi gebouw, vriendelijk personeel

Cons:

Onze kamer stonk naar mottenballen. Heel sterke vieze lucht, kwam uit klerenkast. Moet nodig wat aan gedaan worden.
