I recommend this hotel highly and would stay again. Also their Roti shop next door to the restaurant was the best food I had in Sri Lanka.”

“Had one night here during our two week trip around Sri Lanka. So glad we stretch our budget a little extra to stay here. Hotel is gorgeous, staff great and food lovely. Hotel is in the middle of the fort area which is very chilled out and has lots of quality shops many in association with different charities. Went to Galle things Roti for dinner (new restaurant attached to hotel) and had some very tasty, good value Sri Lanka food.”
