"Great location, beautiful hotel"

8.0

Amazing location, right in the centre of Galle fort. Room was beautiful and very comfortable, we particularly loved the bathroom and the shower especially. Breakfast was delicious and there was a lot of it.

We were above the kitchen and could hear them setting up in the morning.

"Great, central stay with excellent food in the heart of Galle"

8.0

Really central location in the heart of Galle, with spacious rooms and amazing facilities. The breakfast was also excellent and the hotel restaurant is probably one of the best places to eat / enjoy a drink in Galle. Overall really recommend the hotel.

Housekeeping is a bit of a drawback at this property - there was only one person doing it across the 14+ rooms and that means that it takes a long time to get the room done. We asked the staff to do our room twice at 9:30am and 11am and got told yes, but the room was only done in a rush at 2pm after we raised it for a third time at the reception.

"Great location, excellent air con and room but average restaurant"

8.0

Excellent air conditioning and the room was very clean and comfortable. The location was great too

The breakfast onsite was very average for the price paid and compared to all other breakfast offerings we have experienced in Sri Lanka. We had an early departure and the hotel offered us a takeaway breakfast which was very disappointing
