The location is very good, on the west side of the old city of Galle fort, close to the city wall. The hotel building itself was originally a fortress barracks. It is said that it was later used as a post office. Now it is a hotel, but the owner cannot change the original structure.
The hotel has two towers, north and south, each with a terrace. The terrace of the north tower is private to the room, and we booked this one. The room is not big and suitable for two people, but the terrace is amazing, overlooking the west coast and the nearby city walls, fortresses, and lively neighborhoods. Sit on the terrace for a while in the morning and evening, blowing the breeze of the Indian Ocean, comfortable.
The other rooms on the third floor of the hotel are larger, and you can overlook the west coast through the corridor. The courtyard on the ground floor is full of green plants, the mottled courtyard wall tells its history, and the blue and white decoration has a Mediterranean style. It feels like living in a museum.
We brought children with us, and the store upgraded us to a larger room for free, but we still chose a small room with a terrace. The service is good, basically accommodating. On the day of departure, we had already checked out and were wandering around the old town. It was raining heavily and we got soaked. When we got back to the hotel, the owner immediately gave us clean towels and opened a room for us to change clothes.
The richness of the breakfast exceeded our expectations, with fresh fruits, various fried eggs, staple foods, drinks and yogurt. We ordered too much again 😅 and packed up what we couldn't eat, which became a simple lunch.
Interesting travel experience, it seems like being in a Mediterranean town.
