requested the first floor room. tired and dreary room. foam mattresses hot and uncomfortable, small windows with no ventilation, bathroom tired with a little surprise in the bin for us! luckily we could spend most of our spare time on the balcony, with Rasika a great host and she can cook.

The hosts were helpful to me and my travelling companion. They fed us, helped us arrange accomodations in Negombo, and scheduled a car to take us there. The food was plentiful and delicious, the room was clean and pleasant. Everything was charming. A home away.

Free wi-fi and air-con were big pluses for us in booking this hotel. It was comfortable, very nicely located inside the Fort area and easy walking distance to local restaurants and sights. Breakfast was lovely, with fruit, bread and eggs. Overall, a positive experience.

The young couple who run this guest house are very friendly and helpful. They came out to greet us when we arrived and made us feel very welcome. As they had no A/C rooms they put us up around the corner, and the room was clean and comfortable. You really did need the air conditioning. Their small restaurant was good... More

Great spot to stay after busy traveling schedule. Location very good. Owners were delightful. They organised side trips for us - price was good - get your laundry done here - whites come out whiter than white. We had breaky on the balcony - it was good.

I stayed at the Galle Fort Inn for one night and had their famous Sri Lankan Breakfast which was memorable. The room, location and friendly service is better than I expected it to be. The Inn is safe and tucked away on Pedlar's Street which is part of the heart of Galle Fort so its easy to walk around and... More

Great location, first rate Sri Lankan food and friendly, helpful and honest owners. We had three rooms for the family and started our vacation with a quiet stay here. This is an old building with character but it is well cared for. We would have liked maid service for the rooms each day.

Our hosts came out to the car to greet us when we arrived. That was very nice after a long journey. We really enjoyed staying inside the Fort. We spent our time exploring it. Our hosts were very attentive and met our every need. The guest house is old and the rooms are very small, but adequate. The bathroom is... More
