location within Galle Fort, clean bathroom, hot water with good pressure

No place to sit in the room!!! Small char would make a big difference. The unfinished areas, like falling plaster and leaking shower, cheapen the overall experience!!!

mosquito presence

lack of seating

The room was incredibly clean and featured excellent air conditioning, which was a relief from the heat. it was quite small with no windows, only a door leading to a balcony, and I found it uncomfortable to sit on the bed while wearing outdoor clothes. there were quite a few mosquitoes around the property, which made my experience less enjoyable.

shower seal

The location is fantastic, tucked away in a quiet alley just inside Galle Fort. The room was clean, comfortable, and very well equipped with a cozy sitting area and a lovely balcony. The hosts were exceptionally gracious, even providing umbrellas when it rained. A seasonal breakfast featuring traditional Sri Lankan milk rice was a delightful surprise!

Shower seal needs attention.

great stay with excellent service but minor wifi issues

The location is perfect, nestled quietly in a charming area. The staff members were exceptionally friendly and made our stay enjoyable. The room had a refreshing separation of the shower and toilet, and I appreciated the hot water and good water pressure during my stay. The landmark view from the hotel added a picturesque touch to our mornings.

The wifi connection was spotty at times, which can be frustrating.

Just a great fit for shopping in Galle with extraordinarily good value for money. The room was remarkably clean. Avoid the ground floor if you're not keen on mosquitoes.
