This hotel is in the Fort area of Galle in on old house which is renovated. It is very nicely decorated and our room had a view of the old wall around the city. The beds are comfortable, the breakfast is good and the staff is friendly. There is free WiFi but the signal was too weak to pick it... More

We stayed two nights in this wonderful little place and cannot recommend it enough! The rooms are beautifully decorated and the sheets were fabulously soft and comfortable.Great shower too. We were put in the largest 'master bedroom' because we were travelling with a small child and the bed was enormous, plenty of room for 3. Maybe the best thing about... More

My boyfriend and I spent two nights in Fort Bliss before heading along the coast, after a long flight from the UK and car journey from Colombo, Fort Bliss was a complete haven. Our room was large and beautifully decorated with gorgeous wooden furniture & four poster bed. The shower is great with plenty of hot water and strong water... More

We stayed at Fort Bliss for one night in early February. Great little guest house in an ideal location with just four rooms which were clean and comfortable. We stayed upstairs and there's a view to the sea from the veranda. The boys who ran the place were really friendly and served up probably the best Sri Lankan breakfast we... More

We spent one night at the Fort Bliss Guesthouse in Galle and loved it. They are located at the end of Lighthouse St, where you can walk to all the shops and restaurants in the fort. They have only 4 rooms with A/C, fan, hot water and free Wi-Fi. The rooms have typical colonial wood furniture. The bed was comfortable... More

The place has potential but it wasn't really thought through when the place was turned to a hotel. The airconditioning unit in my room was installed to take the air from the bathroom, which meant that when you cool the room the bathroom ends up boiling hot. The windows from the bathroom open to the main reception room with no... More

We sincerely apologise for any inconveniences that you have experienced. The air conditioner has been relocated to a more appropriate place. The window in the bathroom could have been closed easily, a task that the staff would have done for you. Concerning the mosquitoes, a miscommunication had taken place as they would have been pleased to help.Regarding Fort Printers, it... More
