This was the best way to end our holiday in Sri Lanka - a real treat, especially after all the other very basic accommodation we had. Fabulous hotel (in the old Fort), very tastefully decorated, huge rooms with his and her bathrooms, clean. Staff extremely friendly and helpful. Breakfast good (you can even ask for muesli). Very central, but the... More

The Fort Printers was one of the best hotels we stayed in Sri Lanka - the staff were amazing and could not have been more welcoming - my four young children loved them all. The location doesn't get any better and the food was the best we had during our 3 week holiday. I researched all of the hotels inside... More

My husband and I stayed for a few days over Christmas and cannot rate the place highly enough. The rooms are fantastic and very large, only slight problem is the lack of hot water. There is a lovely courtyard restaurant which served the best lobster ihave ever eaten. Last but no least the staff were fantastic, the best we experienced... More

The Fort Printers is a lovely boutique hotel in the heart of Galle Town. It has five rooms - all large and spacious, with an interesting concept for the bath area. There is a separate shower area and toilet cubicle behind the bed. However, both the shower room and the toilet area do not have ceilings (while they do have... More

The staff very excellent, and the room we had, The Headmaster's suite was huge. The only issue we had with the hotel was the noise. The call to prayer from the nearby mosque was very loud, and woke us up very early! We had spent one night at a sister property in Thalpe, and moved back after the one night... More

To my mind this is the best hotel in Galle Fort......not large by any means, a beautifully restored old Print Works, with class. I stayed in a room named Headmaster's which had a huge bathroom/dressing area, a first class shower and then a wonderful and very comfortable bed with great pillows. Fan and a.c. I was in heaven here, lying... More

My husband and I stayed for three nights in 'History'. The best room is very basically furnished with a hard matress and oversized wooden bed frame - which is actually dangerous. My husband is now bed ridden because of the three times he caught his leg on the corner of it, in the night. He has contracted Cellutitis and will... More
