Gin on the veranda - just seemed right

We stopped here for a cocktail and beer while wandering the streets of the incredible Galle. Sipping drinks on the wooden veranda in 30-degree heat just felt right. The hotel is a colonial beauty and its hard not to imagine yourself in some kind of Agatha Christie film while you sit and drink here. Next time we visit Galle, we will definitely stay here. Very stylish.

Colonial splendor

A wonderful place to stay, we had a large loft suite which was perfect. The food was very good and we were looked after very well. A gin on the terrace is a must. The courtyard has a lovely pool...a very easy place to relax.

In the heart of Galle

A very nice hotel with tremendous style, you really feel that you’re getting a true Galle experience. Rooms were very good as were the breakfasts. Not sure what I thought of sharing the pool with water monitors! Interesting!

COMFORTABLE AND PLEASANT

We spent two nights here. The place is very well situated in the old part of the fortress area. The service is impeccable and the staff just could not be more friendly or helpful. The room which was on the garden beside the pool was comfortable but the configuration was not great as this is a converted old dutch colonial building. The food was top class and beautifully presented and served. I will have no problems staying here again.

Dear Orry L, Thank you so much for reviewing the hotel and I am pleased you enjoyed staying with us in one of our garden rooms by the pool. They are located in a quiet and tranquil area of the courtyard and the pool is a great way to escape the heat. Indulging in tasty Sri Lankan and western food is an essential part of our guest experience. And I'm highly impressed that our staff was looked after you very well during your stay and service and the attentiveness of the staff is the most outstanding fact in the Galle Fort Hotel. There is no better time to explore Galle Fort and enjoy its mixture of culture and architectural styles, explore old buildings and experience its fascinating colonial history. We look forward to welcoming you back for a longer stay on your next visit. Regards, Chamara Dedduwage

Very Special

Beautifully restored, old Colonial property - very conveniently located. We were put in a beautiful room adjacent to the pool. Unfortunately other guests in the room above were breaking the rules & smoking in their room, the odour leaking through to ours. So for our second night, the sympathetic & apologetic Management upgraded us to “Porcelanosa”, an even grander room. Very comfortable bed & super shower. Nice free snacks (nut crunch & biscuits) provided FOC on coffee tray. In the morning, it was a treat to be served one’s breakfast at the table rather than having to go to a buffet to collect oneself. The only slight disappointment was our restaurant meal in the evening. A very small red snapper, with few vegetables on the side. At a good restaurant one would have expected the waiter at the table to have the skills to take the meat off the bones for one, but our chap declined to undertake this. Don’t blame him - there was more bone than meat! Also there was little choice of wine & it was of poor quality, although not cheap. Nice barman let me taste several! So our recommendation is to stay here, enjoy the bed & breakfast and wonderful attention from the staff, but to eat elsewhere (? At the Bungalow - 10 mins walk) …

Dear johncD7128GH, Thank you so much for writing to us and sharing your comments and thoughts about the hotel.So glad you enjoyed your Porcilane suit. It is popular because it is full of character and overlooks our colonnaded pool courtyard. At the same time, We are happy to learn that you enjoyed the room snacks, and those are homemade sweets for our valuable guests. It is most generous of you to comment about our food and especially about the red snapper and the wine menu and We will take your points very seriously and we will be looking for new options to make changes of what you mentioned. We are pleased you had such a relaxing time with us. Kind Regards, Chamara Dedduwage
