    Rooms lock and washrooms need little renovation.

    Location is great inside the old city fort. You could access to fort and nearby easily from here. Good view from hotel.

    Steep steps to access rooms.

    Great location for seaview sunset and people watching although you have to accept that you will also be a subject for all passers by to see you too from the ramparts. Great Sri Lankan breakfast. Asked what we would like so we were able to try different things.

    Cleanliness wasn’t great. Smell as you enter probably from a drain. Access is vis a narrow staircase and would have been a problem if mobility was an issue. En-suite facility it a bit cramped and shower needs modernisation.

    Location was very convenient to our needs.

    The accommodation is pretty sparse and needs/would benefit from an upgrade- more of a hostel standard at present. - mattress/ pillows/ bedding all seen a lot of use and need renewing - shower/bathroom needed an update or at least a good scrub to be clean. - lots of ants in the room .

    The location was perfect Great sea / rampart/ sunset views. Conveniently located for all the sights within the Fort. Good breakfast on the balcony with views of the sea / rampart. The owner very kindly took us to the railway station at the end of our 2 day stay.

    Great location but being so central can have its drawbacks as it was on one of the more important roads. Also the long weekend meant the fort was very busy which again contributed to the noise. But this is not their fault! A simple but clean room Happy with My stay

    The property could use some updating and the sheets and towels were stained.

    The location is great. The rooftop terrace is wonderful for sunset and people watching. The owner very kindly drove us to the train station at 6:30am.

    We were okay with the place so nothing to comment here.

    The place initially looked run down a bit. However many lodges inside the Galle Fort have similar view from outside. The room itself was clean and comfortable. The host is very accommodating and pleasant. We enjoyed our stay. The breakfast was really good and substantial.

    Very basic room needs renovation.

    Probably the best located hotel (guesthouse) in Galle right next to the Indian Ocean which you can see from the room s windows. The balcony where the breakfast is being served is fantastic. Even if it was very windy and rainy I sat there quite a lot time and enjoyed the view.

    Room states a balcony which is present, but is communal and quite small. Roof top balcony has good views but nowhere/nothing to sit on.

    Great location right by the sea. Very friendly and welcoming staff, Sri Lbreakfast was delicious. Room was a great size with air-conditioning, a fan and tea/coffee facilities. Just for info - It wasn't clear how to get in, they use a small metal door on the Rampart Street side, I would knock on this and wait for someone to open it.

    The shower head could not be fixed to the wall, which made taking a shower a bit awkward. The shower cabin doors were a bit rusty and did not open and close easily. The sink leaked. On the whole the bathroom could do with a renovation, but fixing the shower head and the sink is the least they could do.

    The location near Utrecht bastion is very scenic and the balcony overlooking the ramparts is superb. We enjoyed sitting there in the shade during the heat of the day, caressed by a cool breese from the sea. Staff was very friendly and the room was spotless.

    The building is old style like windows and door. It is afraid to break them.

    The location is excellent. It is inside the Galle Fort and beside the beach. Or you can go to the top floor to see the beach for the sunset or the sunrise. The breakfast is rich and good.
