This hotel in the fort was a great find! The location was perfect, right in the heart of Galle fort. We loved the quaint wooden staircase that led us to our room, which was cozy and had great aircon. The staff was friendly and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed. Breakfast was delicious, a perfect way to start the day. We thought the price was very reasonable for the value we received. this hotel exceeded our expectations and we would definitely stay here again.

Great location and helpful staff. The hotel was conveniently located close to restaurants, shops and other basic amenities. It was easy to navigate around and explore the neighborhood. The staff was quite helpful and attentive to our needs. The room was quite comfortable with a good view of the surroundings. the room was cleaned regularly, and fresh towels were provided.
Rooms were too small and overpriced. Although the room was clean and had necessary amenities, it was extremely small.

We recently stayed at a boutique hotel in the heart of the city and had a fantastic romantic experience. the location was perfect, situated close to many top attractions and nightlife spots, yet tucked away in a quiet street. the room was spotless and cozy, with French doors that opened up the room and made for a pleasant atmosphere. One of the best aspects of our stay was the complimentary coffee and tea service, which we enjoyed several times a day. We also appreciated the helpful staff who went out of their way to book us a special romantic dinner under the stars.
the room was somewhat small, which made it difficult to move around freely. we found that the bathroom was a bit cramped and could have used more space.

The hotel's location was excellent; it was just around the corner from the main Pedler Street, close to everything and very close to the city's historical fort. The room and bathroom were cozy, clean, and well-maintained. The hospitable hosts were incredibly helpful and friendly, serving breakfast upon request, free of charge, and providing excellent service.
The hotel could benefit from adding mosquito nets to its rooms to prevent insect bites.

This hotel had everything I could have wanted for my stay. The location was perfect, close to everything yet amazingly quiet. Being situated right in the center of the old town and away from the busy streets was a definite plus. The staff went above and beyond in offering transportation options for exploring the city and nearby areas. Additionally, the hotel facilities were outstanding and the cleanliness was top-notch. The breakfast provided was a great way to start the day.
No negatives from this hotel. I was impressed by every aspect of my stay.

The hospitality at Fort Sapphire was truly exceptional. The owners went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and ensure our stay was comfortable. They were incredibly helpful and friendly, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The breakfast, a delicious traditional Sri Lankan meal, was a delightful start to the day. The room was clean and well-maintained, with provided toiletries for convenience. The location was ideal, being within close proximity to all the attractions in Galle Fort. Despite its central location, the hotel was peaceful and quiet, providing a serene environment for a good night's sleep. I highly recommend Fort Sapphire for a pleasant stay in Galle.

I recently had a fantastic stay in a hotel located in the heart of a historic area. The hotel's location was perfect, just a stone's throw away from the bustling main street, yet tucked away in a quiet back street. The room was small but clean and comfortable, complete with essential amenities like hot water and air conditioning. The staff were friendly and provided excellent service, making us feel right at home. The breakfast, a traditional Sri Lankan spread, was delicious and satisfying. it was a great value for money and a highly recommended place to stay.
Nothing to improve. Everything was perfect.
