One of my favourite places in the word.
Amazing guest house overlooking a green which feels like an English village with the kids playing cricket. Relaxing atmosphere and only a short walk into the main part of the Fort. Beautiful place to watch the sunset and friendly staff.

Great value stay in the Fort
Great guest house in the fort, ideal position with good views from the balcony outside the room and restaurant. Staff were very attentive and we felt well looked after, especially after our son had an accident (outside the guest house). All the food we had was really tasty, highly recommend the Sri Lankan breakfast, which you need to order the night before.

Value for money
Loved our stay at this family run hotel right opposite the walls of Galle Fort. Sit on the balcony and watch the locals play cricket or football. Swing gently in the hanging chairs and listen to the monks in the Temple next door. Room was great with a safe and a fridge. Comfy beds. All meals were lovely and the owner is great fun and all staff are really friendly and helpful.

Lunch break
Stopped for a quick bite and ended up staying longer than expected. Great view and wonderful breeze in this third storey restaurant. Calamari was perfectly grilled and served with a fresh salad and rice. Gazpacho soup was freshly made and also delicious. Beers were super cold.i peeped into one of the hotel rooms and it looked very nice.
