The Fort Printers

Stayed here recently at the end of our Sri Lanka holiday and would highly recommend. The rooms we booked were well appointed and spacious, although the lack of a head board meant some pillow movement. The pool, while small, was a welcome cool during the heat of the day. The food was excellent at breakfast and dinner. The quality of the cooking at dinner was superb, even if the portions weee not huge. Our stay was only one night - had we known how good it was, we would have booked for longer. Well impressed!

We simply loved our two days here. We stayed in a wonderful room which was really large. So charming with good, wooden floors and beems that looked really authentic. There was an area with nice chairs and a sofa. The beds were comfortable, and the AC and WIFI worked perfectly. There was real tea (that is no tea bags) both black, mint and Green to choose from. |There was this big ante room with wash basis and a huge mirror where we also kept our luggage. The shower had wonderful pressure and the water was steaming hot (if you wanted). |The breakfast was served at the table. There were quite a few choices - but it did take some time so you better not be on an hurry when coming to eat. |Wonderful location in the midle of the old town with a lot of restaurants and bars just around the corner

A really wonderful and unique hotel in a perfect location in Galle, a warm welcome, lovely staff who could not do more for you. The rooms were exceptional, we stayed in Headmasters and our daughter’s Geography. The place is full of history, previously a school, a bank, a printers press. The pool area is picture postcard and whilst there are only 2 sun-beds (get in there quick!), it provided a welcome and cool relief from the sweltering heat out in the town. Location is perfect and just a few minutes walk from the fort walls in either direction. Plus right at the intersection of the 2 main shopping streets. 2 nights was a great stay. We didn’t have time to eat in their restaurant/ by the pool for dinner but breakfast was excellent. They also accommodated a 4.30am departure with someone on hand to help with bags and provided a pack up breakfast bag each. Many thanks, super place to stay.

From the time we stepped off our bus we knew this was going to be somewhere special. This was our last two days in Sri Lanka after an amazing two weeks touring the country and what a way to end! We stayed in the heritage building in the Art, History and Headmaster rooms. All very different and incredibly special. Any property is only as good as it's staff and Rhe Fort Printers prided themselves on their personal service- and so they should; everyone was exceptional. Breakfast was provided from a menu and was lovely. It included specialty coffees which many were very pleased about! The pool, although small, is perfectly adequate and the area was surprisingly cool considering how hot it was outside the hotel walls. They scent their rooms with cinnamon essential oils which helps keep bugs at bay. You can purchase the oil from them and it is cheaper than anywhere else and they tell you how to use it. A fabulous stay.

This was our first hotel on our first visit to Sri Lanka and we really had no complaints at all. ||It’s perfectly placed for a stay in Galle. Right in the centre so you walk out the door and you are in the fort area. We loved this. ||Great staff. They were very warm and welcoming. We chatted with many of them and they were very helpful. ||Our room was great. Air con was prefect as it was very hot and humid outside. The room was huge and we bathroom was well set out and loved the shower. We bought the cinnamon leaf oil. Smells great and it was good on any bites. ||We only ate breakfast at hotel. Enjoyed this a lot - both western and SL breakfasts. ||Calm place to stay to enjoy the wonderful Galle.

We stayed three nights at Fort Printers. The hotel is very centrally located within the fort precinct, and easy walking distance to all of the many shops and restaurants within the fort. as well as a short walk to the fort ramparts. |After checking in we were given a brief history of the property which was originally a school and then a printers. |The staff were very helpful and accommodating. The quality of the food was very good. |The only negative, if there is one, is that the internet was very hit and miss and often took several minutes to download content from the web even when it was available. |All in all we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the hotel and would have no hesitation in recommending it.

Stayed for two nights at the start of our tour of Sri Lanka. The hotel is perfectly placed to visit the local area. Staff were very friendly and breakfast offered lots of choices. We tried the fish curry one morning which was amazing - has to be done.

So charming, great location, lovely restaurant, great breakfast. The rooms are unbelievably charming and nice. Such a relaxing feeling getting back into the room after roaming around in the day. Lots of attention to detail.
