10/ 10
The place is very simple but couldn't expect more from them as all area is same style but the staff were super nice and the location in the middle of the fort where you can see all the fort easy by walk and at night you in the middle of all good restaurants and bars. But i would say the price is quite expensive per night compared to the status of the facilities

    “This was a great stay for a short break in Galle. The location could not be more central, situated in the heart of the Dutch Fort. The hotel is clean and well maintained offering rustic charm. The staff gave a warm welcome and were very professional. Recommend dining at the restaurant Puppets, the breakfast fish curry is outstanding”

    “Alojamiento coqueto en Galle. Ubicación excelente. Desayuno de lo mejorcito de Sri Lanka. Personal encantador. Habitación bonita, pero tal vez pequeñita para una familia de 4 como nosotros. Poco espacio para dejar los trastos. Pero hay que tener en cuenta el tipo de alojamiento que es,un hotel boutique con muchos años de historia. Para pasar una noche más que suficiente. Gracias por vuestra hospitalidad.”

  • Nous avons terminé notre voyage à Galle en beauté.
