Typique du fort mais c'est tout.

Isolée au fond d une toute petite impasse cette guesthouse est protégée des bruits de la rue. Accueil souriante de la gérante un bébé dans les bras qui pleurera toute la nuit événement isolé évidemment. Première nuit dans la chambre du RdC sans fenêtre ou il a fallu réclamer la clim pourtant comprise dans ma réservation, plutôt bruyante donc. Deuxième nuit a l étage dans un petite chambre avec balcon plus calme, mais sans rideaux occultants. J ai un gros doute sur le fait que les draps aient été changés après le départ des précédents clients et le ménage vu en live plutôt expéditif. Les articles de toilette sont inexistant. Personne pour préparer les petits dej donc ces derniers sont servis dans un hôtel à 500 m du même proprio semble t il. Mise a part la localisation ultra centrale du fort, cet hôtel convient pour 1 nuit sans être exigeant.

Very good value for money in Galle Fort

Excellent location (right inside Galle Fort) and value for money. The owners were really welcoming, nice and helpful. B&B located in a smaller street of the Fort, thus providing calm. Room with a large bed, A/C, mosquito net and small balcony. We definitely recommend it! We got our breakfast in another hostel managed by the owners.

Fairly secret, not really a palace.

The place is right near the south end of the Fort area in Galle. Excellent location. Easy to find if you are on the right street; you just look for the sign and go down the long alley. Our room was a larger room and a smaller room connected, with a double bed in the larger room and a twin bed in the smaller room. The larger room was only slightly larger than the double bed!

room not clean

The pillows are very smelly, blanket also not really clean. Water pressure very low so that sometimes cannot turn on the heater. I got a cold shower.
