I recently stayed at GFH for five nights and thought it was one of the very best hotel experiences I've ever had. It was really more like staying in someone's beautiful, exotic home than being in a hotel. The location is historic but very quiet inside the walls of Galle Fort, but only a short tuk tuk ride to magnificent... more

If you get an opportunity to go to Sri Lanka there is only one place you should stay and that is the Galle Fort Hotel. I have travelled extensively in Asia and I demand very high standards but this hotel beats all expectations. I was exceptionally lucky as I had the Hotel to myself and I was treated like Royalty.... more

it is a nice hotel, and we mostly appreciated how the owners managed to refurbish this old building into a nic boutique hotel. Ask the management to show to you the album with pictures about all the work they have gone through ! We have read that the food served at it's restaurant is very good. We personally did not... more

Having travelled in the beautiful Sri Lankan wilderness--jungle treks and mountain hikes-- for three weeks, we wanted some affordable luxury to finish off the trip, which found us staying at the GFH for three nights. Well, the hotel exceeded our expectations because it was luxury in a most friendly and casual atmosphere, a combination almost impossible to find in any... more

Galle Fort Hotel exudes colonial splendour and deserves to be considered a destination boutique hotel. From the remarkable and urbane host Karl, to the friendly and professional staff, to the stylishly and individually furnished suites (the Grand Appartement is truly sumptuous!), to the superb Asian-fusion cuisine, oh, and the nightly frangipani art on the bed-linen - just perfect. more

This was my third visit to GFH, and on this occasion I invited 6 friends to share a special celebration there. As expected, everything was perfect - all the rooms were sensational (especially the suites) and the beautiful bed linen topped it off. The food was fantastic and the service first rate. Nothing was too much trouble for Karl and... more

My husband and I stayed at the GFH for only one night. We just wanted to get away from Colombo and relax. I have lived in Sri Lanka for almost three years and this was our first time to stay at the GFH. When we arrived we were immediatley greeted by the staff and Karl, given a drink, and where... more

I visited galle fort as part of my trip around the south coast of sri lanka with my husband and 2 young kids aged 13 and 10. I had some reservations about staying in a heritage hotel filled with antiques without any high street shop brands nearby or anywhere in sight. We originally planned a 3 day stop but by... more
