An excellent location in Galle Fort. Most of the main shops, restaurants, and cafes - albeit geared for tourists - as opposed to being Sri Lankan, are so close by to this hotel. And the rest of the areas of interest in the Fort are all a slightly longer walk away - which is still not far, anyway. The layout of the hotel is well-designed. 18 rooms, all in 2 blocks. The rooms themselves are relatively spartan - with no carpets, and basic furnishings. The bed is comfortable. Essentially, the rooms are not really intended to stay-in for long periods except to sleep. My main frustration is the lack of space for storage of clothes - just a few hangars to hang clothes - so be prepared to live out of your suitcase. The pool area - albeit small - is quiet and a good escape I recommend the Spa for a really good massage. Seems that there is only one staff, but she is excellent The bar is lovely with good colonial feel. The restaurant has tables in and outside. The menu offers a range of international and a few Sri Lankan selections. This is the trend at Galle Fort. The patrons appear to be Western and market demand has resulted in relatively bland food to cater to tastes which are not accustomed to spicier Sri Lankan offerings. But Fort Bazaar’s Sri Lankan selection is probably better than the others, but still below the normal Sri Lankan flavours The standout feature is that they have a few staff at Reception who play an excellent concierge role. One in particular is Lihini - she really makes that special effort to please Ultimately, this is an average hotel which stands out due to their staff
