Galle Fort Hotel

Fabulous hotel with fabulous service! We spent two nights here on our tour of Sri Lanka and had a wonderful time. When we arrived we had been upgraded to a loft room which seemed good, however the bed was upstairs and the toilet was down rather steep stairs which we had concerns about. Prochane the duty manager fully understood this and arranged a different upgrade for us so that we were on one level. We would have been happy with a lower grade room but he went out of his way to honour the upgrade. Could not fault this. Everything about this hotel was first class from the service, pool, breakfast etc. It is a delightful oasis in an ideal location in the quirky and charming town of Galle. The only small downside for us was that the evening menu was a bit limited for us and we felt it could have had a few more classic dishes on it. |We had a brilliant young waiter serving us most of the time, he was cheerful, smiled and had a great sense of humour. Sadly I can't find his his name and he was such a great ambassador for the Galle fort.|Highly recommend this hotel and would certainly stay again.

Highly recommended. My room was beautiful (I stayed in the Library) and comfortable, and the food was impeccable. I had breakfast, lunch and dinner at the hotel and each meal was done perfectly. The entire staff was friendly and helpful. Kalpani was especially engaging, considerate and charming. I spent a splendid afternoon sitting on the shady front porch under the ceiling fans, drinking chilled lime juice and watching the world go by.

The hotel has a veranda onto the street where you can sit and sip your drink watching the world go by. The hotel staff are very helpful and the rooms are luxurious and spotlessly clean. There is plenty of choice for breakfast and the dinners we had were delicious. The service is 5 star, loved the turn down service with the thoughtful gifts. The pool was an oasis of calm in the garden, beautiful relaxation area away from the busy streets of the fort. You must try the Arrack cocktails. This hotel is friendly and well organised.

We stayed for one night in the admiral suite. The hotel is amazing, staff very professional and courteous. The hotel has 11 rooms only, so all staff are hands on making sure you are comfortable and well looked after. My favorite part is the courtyard pool which we had it all for ourselves. The food and drinks menus have a good diversity and everything we tried was tasty and thoughtfully prepared. ||The only minus which we had informed the staff about was the bed which was extremely squeaky, that it woke us up several times once one of us would turn sides. Hopefully staff have fixed this issue before next guests come in. Otherwise an amazing hotel and 5 star hospitality.

Beautiful renovated building with the absolute best pool.. breakfast and dinner were excellent. All the staff are lovely helpful and attentive and make the stay more enjoyable. We stayed in a terrace room 2 story with bed upstairs..absolutely hilarious ..set of stairs are so noisy I’m sure rooms 5 doors away can hear us!

We loved our short stay here. The authenticity, the location in the heart of Galle Fort and the wonderful staff and service. The breakfast was excellent and we had a wonderful Arrack tasting experience supervised by Claire, the hotel manager. Will definitely come back here....

We stayed at Galle Fort Hotel for two nights and had a wonderful experience. The place is stunning, with amazing attention to detail. The pool, especially under the sunlight, was absolutely beautiful. The service was excellent, making our stay even more enjoyable. Sitting at the bar for an arrack before dinner was a perfect touch.

A beautiful historic hotel in the centre of galle fort. We had an incredible stay at this hotel and cannot fault anything about our experience. We stayed in the garden suite and have no words to describe! |We used the pool many times it was great to cool off in especially after a day of sightseeing, it was great and the hotel provided towels so using it numerous times a day was not a problem it is placed in the pretty gardens in the centre of the hotel grounds with immediate access from our amazing suite. There are sun loungers around the pool should you wish to relax but there was so much to see and do in the area we didn’t have time ! The staff kept all areas clean and were so pleasant and helpful everyone was exceptionally kind. The breakfast was so good with lots of choices.|We cannot recommend this hotel enough and would definitely stay again when visiting Sri Lanka. We particularly liked to sit on the outside area and people watch while enjoying a leisurely drink at the end of the day.|Thank you so much
