The Bartizan

Charming hotel in the centre of Galle Fort. Well equipped and clean room and a private terrace with fantastic view. We were able to watch the sunset over the ocean. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was excellent.

We loved our stay at this hotel, the location was great!

Excellent location with friendly service

Beautiful hotel and fantastic service

The hotel staff is what makes this stay the most comfortable and relaxing. The location couldn't be better and we were excited to have breakfast every morning because of the quality of food and service.

The staff were so friendly and attentive. Helped us get a taxi to the airport and allowed for a late checkout, since no one was staying in our room after us. The rooftop terrace is the perfect place to enjoy the sunset, breeze and watch the people walking on the fort paths.

自分たちのバルコニーがありとても優雅でした。 ただ、トイレと洗面エリアが半透明のガラスで上下も空いているので友人とではちょっと恥ずかしいかもしれません。

Wonderful service, grdat atnosphere in a rhoughtfukky restored old building, such friendly staff, right in the heart of Fort, great breakfast

This is a nice place to stay in Galle, centrally located for restaurants, shopping and sights, with sunset views in the evening.

The Bartizan's rooms were spacious and clean. The bathroom was gorgeous. The breakfast was generous, and we were given a packed breakfast on the day we left early. The staff were very attentive. It is located on the coast and walkable to loads of shops and restaurants. It was our favourite hotel in the two weeks we spent in Sri Lanka.

The hotel has character and can't beat the location within the Fort. The room we had is West facing, so great sunset from the room and the rooftop area, but conversely the rooms get hot and the a/c in the room (we had Family Suite, 1 Bedroom, Ocean View, Oceanfront) just didn't seem to do the job. The hotel is expensive given the facilities are limited. Staff are welcoming supportive and friendly. We did end up taking our own suitcases downstairs when we left. Would recommend if it fits in your budget, but maybe just 1-2 nights if you are a family looking for more comfort on an extended stay.

To call this a 3-star hotel is an absolute understatement. This boutique hotel is full of charm and character, offering an experience that far exceeds its rating. We stayed in the Deluxe Ocean Front room, which was stunning. The room was spacious, the bathroom was modern and spotless, and the private balcony was the icing on the cake. The staff went above and beyond to ensure our stay was comfortable. They accommodated our early travel schedule by packing us a breakfast to-go on the first day and served breakfast on our balcony the next. Whether it's the front desk or the 24/7 security guard, you're always greeted with a warm smile. The shared oceanfront terrace offers a spectacular view of the sunset — a perfect place to unwind. Highly recommended.

Great location- close to the coast so there is a nice breeze and on edge of the fort so not too busy. A very pretty courtyard and well appointed rooms. Staff were very attentive and helpful. Will definitely recommend.

A lovely and atmospheric property. We were upgraded to a large room with a terrace and a sea view which was appreciated.The room was extremely comfortable with a complimentary mini bar. We loved the roof terrace with its great view over the fort and the sea. Although there is no pool, a small, safe beach is just steps away with beach towels provided by the hotel.

I loved this hotel. It was old with lots of charm and located just across the street from the fort wall. It was next to Pedler Street with great shopping. Breakfast was really good with an amazing array of fruit. Overall, this is a great hotel.

The Bartizan is a really nice hotel with a great view over the ocean. I had the tower room which was small and gorgeous. However, it was not perfectly clean (the fan was super dusty, my bedsheets did not smell very fresh), plus the water pressure in the shower was super low and the water cold. Breakfast was really good and was served in the courtyard - or on the terrace upon request (only advisable in early morning hours, otherwise it will be too hot).

I've just returned from a two night stay at the Bartizan and it was nothing short of splendid! The only downside was that stay was too short. My room was stunning and incredibly spacious. It had a very comfortable bed, cold AC, a beautiful balcony with dining table and comfortable chairs to sit and watch the sea. Breakfast could be delivered to the room or you could dine in the private courtyard downstairs. You choose daily from several options/styles. The two I tried were both delicious and quite a big meal. The hotel has been beautifully renovated and the staff were exceedingly kind, friendly and accommodating. They really went out of their way to help me have a wonderful stay and really contributed to my experience visiting Southern Sri Lanka. It is a boutique hotel, privately owned and in a historic building, so if this isn't your thing and you are looking for something more bland and more like a big standardized US chain then this might not be for you, but if you are drawn to Galle because of the history, the beauty of the architecture and the sea then I highly recommend.

The hotel was really beautiful and our room incredibly spacious and well appointed with a fabulous balcony with views out to sea. It is located in the heart of Galle Fort with easy access to all points of the fort and to a couple of beaches. The breakfasts were delicious and the staff could not have been more accommodating helping us to arrange a cooking class and arranging a visit from a barber. We had a really excellent time.
