ガレ フォート ホテル

旧市街の中心地に立地する素敵なホテルです。 部屋数も少なく静かで、邸宅に招かれた雰囲気を楽しめます。 日本語で挨拶してくださるスタッフもいて安心して滞在できました。 暑いGalleの街歩きに疲れても、すぐに戻って来られる立地の良さです。 次回は2階のお部屋に宿泊してみたいです。

This hotel is for people who need silence and peaceful moment. Wonderful historical building and decoration. the manager is very caring to the guest to explain the history of the hotel. You can enjoy tranquil moment by swimming pool. Room is large enough, food is nice. I really respect the effort for maintenance. One thing I concerned is ...generally staffs are very kind and nice. Well educated. As Asian custom goes, they ask me many questions like where I live, what is my job, where I am from. I told many times I am not Chinese but they don't listen. I think It's better not ask about nationality unless you are very clear of geographic maps. Please remember some Japanese speak English. If I speak English it does not mean I am Chinese. STOP calling me Chinese please. Other issue is once they know I live in Singapore, some staffs approached me to say "Will you marry me ? I wanna live in Singapore" "If you marry me, can you give me visa and work in Singapore ?" "Give me your email address in Singapore , I want you to give me job" "I love you, please give me work in Singapore" etc. I felt honestly little bit scared and offended. Staffs are not aggressive, but many times I have to tell some particular staffs that they are ruining the reputation of this hotel. Although the staff who took care of my room was wonderful. Pls do not think all staffs do, just only few.

The room was clean but small. It was a bit noisy, due to the wooden ceilings, stairs and rooms above.

Huge characterful and comfortable room in the converted old building. Very well located in the Fort area. Staff and service were very good. Nice bar area and cocktail menu. We didn't use the restaurant except for breakfast (which was OK but basic). In the library suite there is a huge bathtub (advised on arrival beyond the capability of hot water supply to fill) as well as a good shower. There is a slight privacy issue with this suite, seating in the restaurant area is the other side of the bathroom wall with an auditory implication. Swimming pool is cute, probably best for use by the suites on the ground floor adjoining it. Side note to the hotel, there could be better occasional lighting options (we had to move the bedside lamps around). Overall, despite the small notes, a 5 star stay and excellent value for money.

We absolutely loved our stay at Galle Fort Hotel. It was a beautiful property in the middle of the fort town which had lots of restaurants and shops. The hotel itself was unbelievably beautiful and felt very luxurious. The staff were so attentive and kind. The breakfast was my favorite I’ve ever had at a hotel! Beautiful fruit and delicious cooked food. Cannot recommend enough! We will be back.

Very much enjoyed my stay at the Galle Fort Hotel. Beautiful rooms, highly attentive staff, great food and drinks.

Loves the hotel, room, staff, bar and restaurant. Perfect stay!

The Galle Fort Hotel is a truly lovely boutique property set within the walls of Galle Fort. We stayed in the Grand Apartment room which was gorgeous with fabulous furnishings. The Bar and lounge areas are both lovely and the pool, loved the tiling, was a must to cool off. Breakfast was included in our rate and it was great, wasn't keen on their coffee bean but other than that faultless. All of the Staff are lovely however Shalimar stood out he was always there when needed, extremely helpful and a great character.

The hotel was spotless, the staff friendly and helpful. Try the coconut pancakes or the arrack drinks from the bar. Absolutely delicious! The pool was wonderful and very clean.

Amazing location, staff, and service....don't miss!

My fiancé and I stayed at this hotel, and had a great seven days stay. The room was spotless and was cleaned twice a day, the pool was a welcome treat to escape the heat, and the large various of food was incredibly tasty. The people working there, Dilan and Sherman, made sure we always had everything we needed, and even went as far to prepare a take away breakfast for the days with an early start. Shamika was always ready to answer any of our questions and give amazing advice regarding different activities that were close by. All in all, we had one of the best stays we've ever had, and would love to be back soon.

This property is architecturally brilliant. It's a wonderful and thoughtful conversion of a historic building into comfortable hotel rooms. but the hotel service is quite poor. I think it's a government-run hotel and it shows. Many of the staff are not well-trained, and do not seem to have much of a hospitality background. As one example, I sat down for breakfast, ordered quickly, and immediately explained that we needed to catch a flight, so we were in the rush. We didn't get our main food after 35-40 minutes of waiting. And it wasn't just me asking: all the staff could clearly observe that I rushed to get my suitcases down AFTER ordering food. But it did not seem to matter to them. I explained to both front desk staff and restaurant staff that we were risking missing our flight, and that they could just give us everything in a takeaway box. They first agreed, but then came out and said that it would take another 15 minutes to get ready. So we just left not eating the breakfast we had paid for. The staff explained that because there was one other table (who sat down after us), they were overwhelmed. Two tables (6 people total) somehow overwhelmed their cooking capacity. The check-in process at this hotel was quite good. The service quality here is such that if you are paying around $100-$120, this is a fine hotel. If you are going above that, then Galle offers other better-run hotels.

I got food poisoned from the food there. They were the last stop and restaurant i dined at. I have been at a hospital for two days with a stomach infection from the burger I had the last night at Galle Fort hotel. Terrible. I have been extremely sick since. Will not recommend whatsoever!

Positives: location, walkable to all that old Galle Fort has to offer. Interesting history of the hotel itself. Pool to cool off in . Room was large. Bed was comfortable. Breakfast was great (did not eat any other meals here) Negatives: pool has a dreadful old drain/sewerage smell at the far end (not in the pool itself- but could be from the drainage vents on the end/side?). Shower and sink in the room could do with a really good clean. Sink had a crack right across it. Mosquito net is looking really shabby. Feels rundown rather than heritage. Table in the Main lounge area was actively being eaten by insects while we were being checked in. requested transport to the train for early morning to be told no problem tuktuks here all the time . Did speak with a driver who did not turn up ( the only transport arrangement we had in 3 weeks of travelling that did not turn up). And no other vehicles in sight. Did send a staff member down the road to try to find something . Fortunately we had time to spare.

Stylish historic hotel in the middle of Galle Fort, great amenities, fantastic food, large accommodating room, and incredible and personable service.

Old needs renovation and the rooms are a bit small. Also bathroom facilities are out dated and in dysfunction.

Beautiful building and very comfortable room. Felt like we were getting a very unique and authentic Galle Fort experience.

Very nice boutique hotel in a historical building and perfect location in Galle. Fantastic breakfast and friendly staff. Very nice restaurant and perfect gin tonic
