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I have to admit it was a little outdated than on the pictures.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.

Parawa House is 99% there to being 5 star
Pros:

Location, breakfasts, friendly staff. I believe I was the only guest for three days. Sri Lanka, like most tropical Asian countries, is the best post dawn,, around 6.30am. Sitting in the quiet and cool with a cup of tea and watching the crows and squirrels going about their morning business is a delight.

Cons:

My front balcony room was always hot.(Even the balcony in the afternoon sun). A back room may have been cooler. No onsite laundry service or send out and return laundry service.

Breakfast was phenomenal, the staff were lovely and so helpful, rooms were adequately clean and location was centralised and easy to get around

Aircon could be stronger to combat the heat during March and felt it was too expensive for what it was.

Great location and comfortable rooms - perfect to explore the sights of Galle fort.
Pros:

Parawa house is in a great location inside Galle Fort and close to all the main attractions. We loved the conversoin of the old colonial style merchants house into a hotel and the breakfasts were excellent.

Cons:

Not that keen on been asked to pay in advance for the rooms on arrival, pretty unusual and not that welcoming but otherwise any issues that we had were dealt with promtly and with a smile.
