Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is situated in a brilliant location right in the heart of the old Galle Fort, which made exploring the area super easy. The rooms had a charming Italian palazzo vibe and were quite spacious. The staff, especially Krishni, were incredibly friendly and accommodating. On the downside, the dining options weren't that impressive, especially considering the price we paid, and could use some improvement.
The hotel is perfectly situated right in the heart of the old fort, allowing for easy exploration on foot. The service I experienced was top-notch, as the staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. However, I found the rooms a bit smaller than expected for the price, and the dining options didn't quite live up to my hopes. Overall, it’s a good place for a short stay if you want to be close to the sights.

The room was a good size with a huge comfortable bed and excellent pillows, although the plug sockets were a bit tricky to access.
