    The restaurant was wonderful with fantastic friendly staff, we ordered fine dishes. The bed was comfortable; and there was a bathtub. The location itself was prime, just a walking distance from Dutch Church Galle.

    Exceptionally attentive staff and sensational breakfast.

    Location not far from the center of the fort in Galle as well as the fort-everything. Also, right in the centre of town...

    My husband and I spent a romantic night at a beautiful hotel in Galle and were blown away by the amazing hospitality. From the warm welcome with refreshing smoothies to the comfortable room, we felt pampered throughout our stay. The hotel's history and architecture added to the charm, and the Sri Lankan breakfast was absolutely delicious. We highly recommend this hotel for a romantic and charming experience in Galle. I will definitely recommend this hotel to others.

    Everything was superb, exceptional hotel, the location was best possible very close to the centre of the Galle Fort area on Pedlar Street as well as the whole old Fort. We had wonderful breakfasts with more delicious food and properly cooked poached eggs, as example. The property was in the centre of the city.

    Nothing at all.

    The property has a stunning combination of colonial and modern design, creating a unique and elegant atmosphere. The recently renovated rooms are beautiful, clean, and stylish. The central location in the fort is perfect for exploring the historic sights, and there are shops and restaurants nearby. The staff are friendly and helpful, making you feel at home. The breakfast is delicious and the pool is a nice bonus.

    We got great value for our money at Fort Printers - the room was beautiful, elegant, clean, and very unique. The location was perfect, within walking distance of all the Fort's sites, and the staff treated us like royalty. We felt welcomed and well taken care of throughout our stay.

    Breakfast delights, but could use more variety.

    I recently stayed at Fort Printers in Galle for a few nights and it was fantastic. The location was perfect, right in the heart of the old fort. The colonial-style decor added a touch of luxury, and the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. The pool was a great way to cool off, and the complimentary soft drinks were a nice touch. The restaurant served delicious food, and the breakfast was comprehensive and beautifully presented.

    Couldn't recommend this hotel more.
