Pros: The staff are incredible; they appear almost as if they can read your mind, and were so discreet that most of the time it seemed that we were alone in this huge, beautiful villa. The food and service were incredible and was the highlight of our month-long trip. I would come back to Sri Lanka JUST to have the privilege of staying here again.

Pros: We stayed for 4 nights in the family villa which was luxurious and had doors opening straight out onto the pool area. The grounds are meticulously maintained and Thusitha went above and beyond to make our stay special and memorable, nothing was too much trouble. Dylina the manager was hospitable and friendly and even bought in a yoga mat as I mentioned I like to do yoga in the morning, the next day one was in my room. We had 2 beautiful meals cooked especially for us which we had out in the gardens, everything was amazing, the food, the service, the setting, again nothing was too much trouble. On our last day Chaminda the owner drove us to the train station and help organise our tickets to Colombo. I’d thoroughly recommend this villa it made our last days in Sri Lanka very memorable.

Pros: The hotel is really beautiful and the staff is great. A very quiet and beautiful place in Galle
Cons: Do not take the soaps from the bathroom!! My little daughter took them, a employee checked before we went and he said from the window to the manager when we were leaving. We had to take them out of the suitcase even if it was already inside the car. They told us that the boats were ceramic. It is diferent from other hotel that you can take them. The situation made us feel a little bad and uncomfortable.

Cons: Fab stay, but if I had to criticise one thing it would be the mattress; it was very soft, probably at the end of its use. Also, there was a small damp patch on the wall but in a tropical climate this is a constant battle. However everything else more than made up for it.

Pros: The Bungalow was our last stop on a 3 week trip in Sri Lanka. We just loved this place! Gorgeous decor (very colonial / modern), welcoming staff and the most comfortable bed. It was the perfect place to relax and unwind before a long flight home. We loved the location in the main fort of Galle - easy to walk around to visit the shops, and at night to grab dinner and return home. The breakfast was delicious and the first place in Sri Lanka where we had a choice of mains to order from - definitely get the waffles with strawberry compote.. amazing! The coffee is also incredible (we had daily cappuccinos). If you're looking for a clean, fresh and welcoming place to enjoy your time in Galle.. this is the spot! The bathrooms are gorgeous.. with probably the best shower we've had on the trip. I liked the decor so much that I took photos for inspiration to decorate my new home! Thanks for the great hospitality!

Pros: This is a nice place to stay in the Fort. Very good restaurant with attentive and super-helpful staff. The staff went out of their way to make my stay pleasant. Comfortable bed and room. Good breakfast. Highly recommended.
Cons: The property uses a solar hot water heater--wonderful for the environment and great during daylight hours, but the hot water cools down (a bit) after dark. Courtyard rooms do not feel private unless the curtains are drawn. The property is located in the Fort--which means that prices are higher than outside, and PickMe and Uber drivers are reluctant to pick up passengers due to the aggressive reputation of Fort tuk-tuk drivers.

Pros: Staff are very helpful The food is excellent - a menu of local, Asian and continental food. We ate at the hotel all 3 nights - it was that good! Rooms have an old world feel - high ceiling, lots of space, lots of wood. The hotel premises itself is beautiful. Being able to walk onto the verandah and courtyard is amazing. The bathrooms are huge! Our room its own small courtyard with a bench and frangipani tree. Nice touch.
Cons: We were told upon arrival that the spa is closed for renovation. It would have been nice to be informed of that in advance. The hotel is a 10 minutes drive from Galle Fort, and off the main road. You'll need a car to get around (which we did).
9.6 Excellent
Pros: Excellent and obliging staff. They went over and above to make sure everything was ok.
Cons: The food. Basic breakfast wasn't up to mark. The omelettes were absolutely tasteless and the pancakes were raw inside.
7.9 Good
Pros: The bilding was very impressive.
Cons: The swiming pool was cold. The TV was too far from the bad. They didnt serve alcohol in the bar. Everything was very expensiv (room service, laundray, restaurant)
10.0 Excellent
Pros: We loved our stay. The staff were wonderfully warm and welcoming (our 5 year old said he missed them)! The pool is the stuff of dreams. Our room was lovely with air con and a huge bathroom (perfect for families). The breakfast was awesome (hoppers for everyone!) And Galle just an exciting tuk tuk ride away. Can't fault our stay. We will be back!
Cons:
10.0 Excellent
Pros: The hotel was lovely and relaxing with top class facilities. Loved the historic setting. Swimming in the pool whilst monkeys climbed overhead in the trees was a magical moment,
Cons: Everything inside the hotel confines was exceptional, however, the approach to the hotel along the scruffy road could have been better. But that is the one downside of Sri Lanka, rubbish everywhere. Obviously not at or in the hotel.

Pros: The hotel is a magnificent structure with much History. A truly beautiful boutique hotel with limited rooms, which we loved. The food was excellent and we had 2 dinners and lunches and 3 breakfasts. The staff were very helpful and we felt very welcome! We would happily return!!
Cons: Maybe they could put a Nespresso Machine in the room, next to the Tea Pot..... for when you need a caffeine fix. And Watch Out for mosquitoes!!

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.

Cons: The pool is great, but ideally the water should be cooler! Difficult to manage in the heat, I know. Also, I'd like to see the hotel reduce the use of plastic water bottles by providing refillable bottles.
