The main down side of this place is staff who speaks absolutely no English. They seem to be willing to be helpful however it is a challenge to communicate most basic issues to them. Fortunately we didn't have many issues. The room was great with all amenities like ac, boiler, fan, safe, etc. It even had an umbrella, however I... More

Given all the good reviews we did hv some expectations about Fort Bliss. It does look pretty on the outside but scratch the surface just a bit and things r less than blissful. Hot water wasn't working (although this was fixed by the second day - problem with the switch), stains on the bedsheet, half hearted attempts at making the... More

Fort Bliss was our 5 th stop on our trip around Sri Lanka. It is situated inside the fort and right by the edge of the ramparts overlooking the sea. It's an attractive and original Colonial building with 4 rooms so a nice homely feel to it. As you entered there was a large 'living area' where we ate breakfast.... More

A lovely small guest house within the Old Fort, our room was immaculate, clean and nicely furnished. The breakfast was nice and the staff were friendly and helpful. Would stay there again if visiting Galle.

We stayed at this charming B&B recently & absolutely enjoyed it. We had a room with a view of the beautiful ramparts & the ocean, the sound of the sea most pleasing, finely furnished, clean linen & a well appointed ensuite. An early morning stroll just outside offers magnificent sunrise views. Being a house with only 4 bedrooms, it has... More

Convivial communal space where you have breakfast, with pretty clean and comfortable en suite rooms in colonial house next to the ramparts. Service warm and friendly, but low-key and reactive. Overall very good value.

At a stone's throw away from the Indian Ocean, the location can't be beaten. The hotel has only four rooms, which means the service is personal. The location makes a walk along Fort Galle quite easy. The room was wonderful with modern amenities except for a telly, which was located in the foyer. There're many restaurants in the vicinity. The... More
