I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The location was fantastic, just a short walk to the beach and lots of shops and restaurants nearby. The rooms were clean and comfortable, making for a relaxing stay. The staff was really friendly and always ready to help. However, I found the breakfast options to be somewhat limited, which was a bit of a letdown. Overall, it's a great value for the money, with just a few small areas for improvement.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel, located right in the heart of the Galle fort, which made it super convenient to explore. The rooms were spacious and modern, providing a comfortable atmosphere. The staff were friendly and accommodating, adding to the overall pleasant experience. However, the dining options were a bit limited and could definitely use some improvement. I also found the Wi-Fi to be an added cost, which felt a bit inconvenient.

I had a lovely time at this hotel, which is beautifully situated within the Galle fort, making it easy to explore the area. The staff were friendly and always ready to help, which made my stay enjoyable. The rooms were clean and comfortable, but I expected a bit more in terms of amenities. Dining options were decent, but there weren't too many local dishes available. Overall, it's a great spot, especially for those who want to experience the fort's charm.

I had a lovely stay at this hotel, which is set in a beautifully renovated house within the fort, making it feel very special. The location is unbeatable, just a short walk to the ramparts and close to downtown Galle. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, but I noticed some areas could use a little updating. Overall, it’s great value for money, though the dining options left me wanting more variety.

I had a lovely stay at this hotel, which was situated in a charming renovated building right in Galle downtown. The room was spacious and well-kept, and the staff was incredibly welcoming and friendly. Although the dining options were decent, I wish there were more variety, especially at breakfast. The location is a standout, just a short walk to the beach and close to the Ramparts, but I did find the Wi-Fi a bit pricey since it wasn’t included in the stay.
