The staff at bungalow were very welcoming. The room was super clean and had all the required amenities in the room. The bungalow also has a restaurant which is open all day. If you ever like to spend a night at the fort, stroll down the beautiful hidden lanes inside the Galle fort, The Bungalow is the best place to be. From the ambience to quality of the room to quality of the service to accessing shops, everything was so in line and convenient during our stay at the Bungalow. If I ever decide to stay in Galle again, The Bungalow will definitely be my first choice.

Pros: The building is charming!!!! Our room was tucked in a quiet corner, very peaceful and serene. People are fantastically polite, helpful, attentive and friendly!!!!Wonderful stay in this place and highly recommended!!!!

Pros: Central location in the fort, beautiful & luxurious furnishings.

Pros: The accommodation was in a fantastic location inside the fort & within walking distance to everything! The staff were extremely helpful, and Gavin even helped us get to the airport via public transport and ensured we made it all the way there. The breakfast was also fantastic, and rooms very luxurious.

Pros: Nice and friendly stuff, perfectly located in galle, awesome breakfast

Pros: The property has been beautifully renovated and the decor is lovely. Great location too, you can walk everywhere within the fort. The breakfast was amazing! I only have good things to say about this place.

Pros: Our one-night stay at The Bungalow was nothing short of perfect. Gavin’s attentiveness and attention to detail ensured we were happy and comfortable at all times. The property is gorgeous!!! A renovated 17th century bungalow, it showcased the best from the past in the communal areas, and the best of contemporary styling in the private rooms. Our room and bathroom were both spotless, spacious and beautifully decorated. The king-sized bed was super comfy and we had a great night’s sleep. We ate both breakfast and lunch in the restaurant, and both meals were amongst the best we’ve ever tasted. We even used the two bikes available to guests to explore the fort for a couple of hours! There is absolutely nothing we would change about The Bungalow; we hope to return in the near future!!

Pros: Amazing hotel, with great Staff, that will do everything for you. When our charger was broken, they tried to get a new one and then repaired it!! The Food and the Cocktails were excellent! A pitty we didn't stay longer!

Pros: The restaurant staff were very nice and caring, it was a pleasure to have breakfast in the morning. The hotel aesthetics were lovely and the location great.

Pros: Breakfast was incredible! You can choose between continental and Sri lanka breakfast! Very good attention and helpful!

Pros: We had a great night staying at Antic - the owners were so friendly and helpful, giving us tea and letting us leave our bags when we arrived on the early train from Columbo. They also upgraded us to a bigger room free of charge as it was available! The property is really stylish and has everything you need, plus the Sri Lankan breakfast was huge and tasty. The guesthouse is located right in the centre of the fort, about a minute from the lighthouse- perfect. We hope to return to beautiful SL and would definitely stay here again.

Pros: Pretty check-in/breakfast area. Artsy feel to it.

Pros: The owner is the perfect host. Nothing was too much trouble. Breakfast was delicious. The rooms were airy and spotlessly clean. The towels were thick and luxurious - ( not seen previously in SL). The Sri Lankan breakfast was extremely generous and scrumptious. The staff were so helpful and even brought up breakfast for my mother who was struggling with the stairs. Cannot recommend this place more highly. Thank you Antic Guest House - we loved our two night stay in Galle Fort

Pros: The way the place is decorated and styled is just the most pinterest-able. Beautiful. The breakfast! First you get a massive platter of absolutely everything that functions as breakfast food in Sri Lanka and even though you'd promised yourself a light breakfast you eat everything, it's just so tasty. Fine, you think, you just won't eat for the rest of the day. But you will, and immediately, because as soon as you clean the first plate they bring another, this time with this nicely arranged, colourful and juicy fruit selection. Why wouldn't you have dessert after breakfast? Check out till noon and breakfast till 11. It's your holiday and you can sleep in if you want to. The staff were lovely, nice to chat with and v.helpful. It was fun to watch them work on jewellery and gem stones and learn about the uniqueness of Sri Lankan sapphires. Free bottled water. Very good location.

Pros: Beautifully decorated, amazing Sri Lankan breakfast - what a spread!!

Pros: We loved Antic! The room we had was amazing with such a wonderful view of the lighthouse. The staff were wonderful, so friendly and accommodating. Delicious breakfast too!

Pros: Ambience lovely. Very friendly and welcoming staff. Breakfast was amazing. Clean rooms and any small issues dealt with very promptly. And the jewellery in the shop is fantastic!

Pros: Personal hotel in the heart of Galle. Helpful staff. Best coffee in Sri Lanka! Large room.

Pros: A nice place, rightly decorated and located in a quiet street right in the middle of Galle' Dutch Fort. Add to that a friendly and helpful staff (they organized any visit and other taxi that came to my mind during my stay with them) then why would you like to go elsewhere?

Pros: We enjoyed the lovely breakfast every morning, one of the best on our stay in Sri Lanka. The owners were very helpful organising onward transport. The room was clean and had artistic flourish

Pros: Beautiful setting, lovely staff and wonderful pool.

Pros: We LOVED the glorious style of the hotel, it was absolutely all my expectations and more. It is THE most beautiful old style tropical hotel with ceiling fans, shade shutters, polished wooden floors, huge and very comfortable four poster beds with mosquito nets, magnificent architecture and decor, perfect location in the the centre of Galle Fort, fabulous food and wonderful breakfast. We loved it. We also loved the touch of turning down our beds and finding a pot of beautiful skin care moisturiser on the pillow and the flower petal decorations on the cover. If you love elegant old world style in the heart of a World Heritage town (which is so astonishing), this is THE hotel for you. Staff were delightfully friendly and obliging with the perfect mix between good service and respectful of privacy. We will definitely be back! Pricey but worth it it us.

Pros: Beautiful colonial building. Gorgeous pool and inner courtyard. We stayed in one of the smaller rooms, the Portugese Barracks, and it was nice but a bit dark since it only had small windows. The hotel staff were very attentive and the cleaning of the room perfect with flowers on the bed and a special night cream provided. The breakfast was amazing! Good coffee, eggs Benedict, pancakes, nice breads...luxury. Great to have a tea and coffee maker in the room.

Pros: Staff were all incredibly helpful and friendly Building is a lovely piece of history and very well maintained

Pros: The staff was so friendly and nice. Food was very good. Really enjoyed the Sri Lankan breakfast! The rooms were clean, the bed comfortable, and I enjoyed the cookies that were put in the room. The hotel was such a unique gem, carefully restored to its original state. It was a very unique experience staying there. The location was central to everything. You can walk everywhere and see all the historical sights.

Pros: The ambiance was lovely. Garden room was very comfortable. Great bed,nice bathroom products.

Pros: Incredible place. Immaculately maintained, excellent service and beautiful old world charm. Great attention to detail with the furniture and interiors. Beautiful pool. Great food. Truly unique.

Pros: Gracious living in an historical building .. The Porcelain Suite having a fascinating collection of chinaware, dating from the Portuguese and Dutch period to admire in a wall cabinet within the room. The stone lined pool retained the heat and an after dark swim a must in the warm-as-a-bath water. Situated in the historical Galle Fort, perfect for early morning wandering along the ramparts or sunset viewing in the evening. The staff were focused on ensuring we had the best experience - nothing was too much trouble.

Pros: Loved the quirky history and design of the hotel. Staff were super-accommodating, helpful, and very nice. Our room was spacious, comfortable and had great appeal. We really enjoyed the outdoor seating for evening meals and the cheerful way that our needs were met. Congratulations to the hotel for reducing the use of plastic in the room / bathroom. Refillable ceramic jars of lotion, shampoo etc. were appreciated.

Pros: The service with a smile!

Pros: Friendly smiley concierge

Pros: Rooms are big and attractive if a little dark

Pros: Fantastic location and great food

Pros: I have stayed here quite a bit a few years ago. It is very similar to before but showing a bit of age - some renovation would be beneficial. We had their best room i think - the Sun suite at the front upstairs - spacious, light, balcony. The bathroom has a dais which i assume was for plumbing reasons - functional. Water pressure and temp are good. Staff are excellent. It's probably the best value place in the Fort with a pool - pretty necessary after a few hours walking around the Fort.

Pros: The location was perfect, right in the middle of Galle Fort.

Pros: Staff and service Location Balcony and spacious room

Pros: We arrived on Christmas Eve and enjoyed a very good gala dinner with complimentary wine( bottle each!) Live music with some interesting covers, all great fun. On Christmas day we were invited to go with the owner and staff to the local orphanage to give presents to the children, very humbling experience. On boxing day we joined the staff outside at 09.26 to light candles and have a minute silence to remember the victims of the 2004 sunsmi. The team at Decco are lovely people with good humour and kind hearts, loved this place and would highly recommend it.
