split-level room

Had a great time with friends exploring the historic sites and enjoying the refreshing courtyard pool. The staff was incredibly accommodating, even arranging special treats for us. Breakfast was fresh and delicious, with plenty of healthy options. Highly recommend staying here for a relaxing getaway.

One thing to note is that the Headmasters Room has a split-level setup, which might not be suitable for everyone, especially if you have mobility issues.

beautiful historical building, charming atmosphere, courtyard pool

The lack of standard room features like a fridge or kettle was disappointing!!! The air conditioning in common areas could be improved as it felt uncomfortably warm!!! Additional soundproofing between rooms would enhance privacy!!!

The room was spacious and had a super comfy bed, which was a dream after a long day of exploring! Loved the modern bathroom and cool decor. You could totally chill there. Plus, the location inside Galle Fort was perfect for just stepping out and wandering around. A bit noisy with some kids playing outside one night, but overall, a really enjoyable stay!

great atmosphere but minor noise issues

The hotel features stunning interior design that enhances the historic charm of the building! I really appreciated how the staff were always accommodating, smiling, and eager to help. The delicious meals served in the restaurant, especially the fresh juices at breakfast, were a delightful highlight of my stay. I enjoyed the lovely garden view from my room, which provided a peaceful retreat after a day of exploring.

The noise from children playing outside my room was a bit disruptive on one night.
