As the front door closed, the sudden, contrasting peace of the house inspired me to open it again, just to check I really was at the epicenter of a busy town. Galle Fort, bywords for chic in these parts, is worthy of a few off-beach days to meet its characters, explore alleyways and party a little. Elegant suite-rooms, sweet service and effortless class fit well with the fact that everything actually works here, a rare bonus in an otherwise gorgeous country! Huge comfy bed, efficient plumbing, pin-drop quiet air-con plus, a really sumptuous breakfast delivered on time to where I wanted to eat it. Thanks for taking care of me guys, and for waking up in the middle of the night to open the door! I loved this characterful house and its charming staff, and will return one day.

Perfect respite.

My husband, parents and I stayed here for two nights during our recent trip to Sri Lanka - I had chosen the hotel due to the good reviews on TripAdvisor. 

The hotel is tucked away off a small street in the centre of Galle Fort, and as soon as you go through the front door it is an oasis of calm. Once in the hotel, you couldn't hear the hustle and bustle of the town,  and it felt very tranquil.  

The hotel only has 4 rooms, and decor is very stylish, suiting the colonial style of the hotel. The bedrooms are a very good size, and there were a number of seating areas dotted around the hotel that you could relax in.  After walking around the town, it was a good place to come back to relax in when it became a bit too hot for sightseeing!

The staff are very discreet but are there if you need them, and we were served up a very tasty and filling breakfast each morning.

I would definitely recommend this hotel, and would stay again if we visited Galle.

A unique hotel

I was very Lucky. I visited this wonderful colonial style hotel! I ate a deliciοus vegeterian meal in such a beautiful setting. Prince very reasonable. Dont miss it! The stuff very kind and warm. Enjoy! 

Do not miss this wonderful place! 

We were literally blown away by how gorgeous this property is.  Sitting unassumingly in the heart of the fort with no real signage the doors open onto an enormous central living space, with library & huge inner courtyard.

It's a small colonial villa with only 4 rooms & no pool but perfect to explore Galle Fort.  Our room was huge and so authentic, wifi was brilliant and we had freshly made breakfast at the huge dining table in the courtyard.  If there is a group of you travelling together it would be wonderful to take over the whole house.  The staff were discreet & friendly & we would absolutely go back.

Gorgeous Find

We stayed at Number 48 Galle Fort for two night during our recent trip to Sri Lanka. The property is absolutely stunning, the location perfect if you want to explore the Fort on foot. The team took such great care of us, they were super lovely, helpful and attentive. Breakfast was delicious and gave us enough energy to explore the sights. We wouldn't hesitate to stay here again and can highly recommend this property to anyone wanting to experience a few nights in a beautiful historical building.

Can I just ask where you got the elephant dinner set from?
I have been searching all over the internet.... I just love it!!
Thank you again for making us feel very welcome 🙏😊

What a find!!!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this colonial style hotel.  A really charming boutique hotel vey centrally situated.  The staff were very pleasant and helpful.  We spent two nights there and if we should ever return to Galle we would definitely want to stay there again.

A lovely little oasis

We spent 2 nights in this colonial style stunning property with very tastefully furnished interiors.  It’s like a home away from home situated in the heart of Galle. The property is very tranquil and peaceful despite the crowded streets.  The bedrooms are large and spacious.  The breakfast was excellent and served by very friendly and helpful staff who are always there when required.  There are a lot of culinary options around to suit every taste.  Wi-fi is available throughout and communication is no problem at all.  There is a good library for those interested in reading.  We had the whole mansion to ourselves and had a great holiday.  Would definitely look forward to coming back again.

Amazing stay in the heart of Galle

Very happy with our stay in this  boutique hotel in the middle of Galle Fort.  The hotel is tastefully decorated and has a couple of pleasant sitting areas with a selection of books so you're not confined to your room. There were no other guests during our one night stay so we had the entire place to ourselves. The room was large and comfortable with spacious bathroom. Breakfast was good quality.

Excellent small hotel

A tastefully furnished colonial mansion in the old fort city of Galle. Fortunately we had the place as our private residence for 2 nights. I guess we got there right before the season kicked in. We mainly ate out, as Galle has a lot to offer in terms of culinary options. However, breakfast every morning was delicious; prepared and served, by a pleasant and courteous staff. No television anywhere, which was a pleasant change from the generic fare, for us at least. WiFi is available though, so no issues when it comes to communication. A comfortable library adds a classy atmosphere, that compliments the house very nicely. One gets the impression that this is a private home and the staff are almost invisible, except when required. Lovely airy rooms and clean and hygenic facilities. One word to describe our stay would be, "splendid"!
