Fort Dew Guest House and Restaurant

Very overpriced restaurant. Waited nearly an hour in an empty place for a quesadilla and a chickenbreast. And what restaurant doesn't serve any greens or salad with a main dish? The food we got served was decent but boring, making the whole experience far below expectations.

Lovely Dutch colonial guest house. Perfect for walking in the old town. Hosts very helpful. Roof top restaurant and bar excellent.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this guest house. A small boutique family run place. They were so welcoming. Great location. Would stay here again.

The staff is very welcoming and has been attentive to our requests — they kindly kept our luggage until the afternoon after we missed our train. The room is simple but spotlessly clean, with a large bed equipped with a mosquito net, some storage space for clothes, and a safe. The traditional Sri Lankan breakfast is delicious, and it’s very convenient to enjoy it on the terrace with a view of the sea. This guesthouse is well located within the fort, close to shops and amenities.

A beautiful old house. Though the building is very old but so well maintained that it seems a newly built house on old model. The interior is well decorated with old fashioned furniture but everything is sparkling like brand new. The entire house, rooms and bathroom are very clean. There is a beautiful decorated balcony with swing, chairs and tables, where you can sit and have a coffee with a view of the street in front. Nice restaurant on the top floor of the hotel. Breakfast is provided there. The breakfast has a fixed menu but there are various options to choose from. If you wish to stay overnight in Galle, I would say it is better to stay inside the fort. The atmosphere of Galle Fort is completely different from any other city. But for those who prefer a very quiet and peaceful environment, the environment of the fort will not suit them and most of the hotels in the fort are in very crowded places, inside small alleys, in a slightly dark environment. Compared to that, this hotel is in a very empty environment. Big open space in front. Very close to the main gate of the fort. Street view from the balcony is nice. I liked it.

Excellent location close in the Fort close to the ramparts. Easy to walk and explore. Swimming by the Lighthouse about 5 minutes' walk away. Bed clean and comfortable. Hosts kind and accommodating. Food available but we were out and about and ate as we went. Interesting busy street by day but quiet all night after 9pm.

Beautiful relaxed location in the heart of Galle. Good breakfast with sea view and very friendly staff. ☀️🙂☀️

Cute place We took the whole place for ourselves. I think all four rooms . It’s ok for an overnight stay not for long . One issue is that outside people can come and sit in the balcony Infront of your room and have their drinks etc . Just next to your room ! They should only be allowed in the restaurant area To keep your privacy . Food is good but one of us got sick for four days because this dinner in this place . Nice place to walk around . Have an umbrella with you always :)
