優點:地理位置好,在古城內,距離燈塔3分鐘步行。設施齊全,裝修雅緻。早餐豐盛,服務親切。 缺點:蚊子較多,哪怕噴了防蚊液,點了蚊香,拉了蚊帳,半夜依然被蚊子咬醒了。

Great place to stay in the centre of Galle Fort. A beautiful setting, rooms were clean and spacious and the staff were so helpful. Breakfast was also fantastic - fruit, hoppers, pancakes and a delicious fruit smoothie. Definitely recommend

Loved this place. In the heart of the old fort, close to the beach. So location was good. Tastefully decorated. Beds and pillows v comfortable. Breakfast was lovely, a different traditional breakfast each morning was well thought out and tasted delicious. I have no idea of value for money as most places in this area are pricy but I was v happy with this place.

Nice place to say. The location was good. The rooms were clean and generous in size. One minor was to do with a noisy air conditioner in the room. The staff did their best to make our stay comfortable. However, it was obvious the staff lacked training. This is of course a management issue rather than a staff issue. Having said the above, I would recommend the Fort House for few days stay.

Great place to stay very close to the lighthouse. Love the small, intimate, boutique-style feel to it. Make sure to have the egg hoppers for breakfast! Delicious!

We were upgraded to an upstairs room. Breakfast was educational and very tasty. Great location with easy walking around the fort. Manager organised a driver for us to Ella. Would definitely recommend- 5 stars.

UNPLEASANT STAY- the whole experience of staying in this property was poor. From the inexperienced staff to the breakfast was a total let down. We had informed the hotel that we will be checking in late between 10-11pm due to our late arrival time at Colombo and keeping in mind the drive, for which we got told off the next day by the lady in scarf (rude) at the breakfast for checking in late.The breakfast was a joke, with no options given, we were given a small portion of traditional food. For the price you pay for the stay, you could easily find a better stay around Galle fort area with a better customer service. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone.
