I would HIGHLY recommend staying in the Fort area when visiting Galle. That being said, Fort Bazaar was the perfect place. Great service and perfect location. Bed and pillows were comfortable and shower pressure was great. Laundry service reasonable and same day. Good happy hour. Quiet for a good nights sleep. We booked a Double Bazaar Bedroom and it was a large room and only a few stairs (Room 12).

We loved our stay at the Mer.Chant. The flawlessly designed hotel is built around an old market place and staff is happy to tell visitors about the history of the place. Everyone was very welcoming, our room was beautiful and the food delicious. We will definitely miss the coconut water and local fruit for breakfast just as much as hopper night on Wednesday!

Although I only stayed for one night, I still want to stay a few more nights. The location is very convenient, right in the old town of Galle. The room is very clean, the bed is very comfortable, there is hot water and air conditioning, and there is a restaurant downstairs

Incredibly beautiful small hotel in the Galle Fort area but with access to more amenities (pool etc) at the main hotel's residence only a few mins walk away. Lovely staff available to support with anything you may need also.

Galle Fort

This Dutch colonial fort is Galle’s most popular attraction, and for good reason – a stroll along this UNESCO World Heritage Site showcases streets brimming with old-time charm and stunning sea views. It takes an hour or two to walk along the fort, with plenty of opportunities to stop at cafés, museums and shops along the way.

Lovely but quite a touristy trap.

Lovely but quite a touristy trap. The exorbitantly priced food was what I was aghast about. About 5 to 10 times more expensive than most restaurants and eateries elsewhere in Sri Lanka. Also, most eateries were not as clean as in the rest of SL. The town is great to walk through but lack of fairly priced eateries with good food is a clear deterrant.

Serendipitous is a great word to describe this place.

Serendipitous is a great word to describe this place. There's aways something pleasantly surprising around the corner. Be it an influencer trying to get a good shot without the crowds or families walking the ramparts.

Dam , the host is very helpful and hospitable.He gave information on sightseeing at the Galle Fort.He transpoted us to and from the railway station and to the Galle Fort free of charge.He even accompanied us to shop for food during our late arrival from the train station. The apartment is by far the best lodging we have at Sri Lanka.It's spacious with cooking facilities. I really recommed to stay at Dam's place if you are at Galle.

Beautiful small hotel- amazing pool. Extremely friendly owner and his family and staff run it. Go out of their way to help with anything you want to do during your stay. Great recommendations for restaurants and activities. Boutique hotel at great price. By far the nicest place we’ve stayed in Sri Lanka and we’ve been staying in meddle to top end places. Highly highly recommend. 5 min tuk tuk into Galle Fort.

The staff was welcoming, helpful, and friendly. The hotel is located in a prime spot—just a short walk from the Galle Clock Tower, popular restaurants, museums, the lighthouse, and even bathing spots. Galle Fort is a stunning location in Sri Lanka, and staying here gave us easy access to everything it has to offer. Breakfast was a simple yet satisfying English breakfast, served with a fresh fruit platter and coffee. And all of this came at a very reasonable rate. Until we meet again, Thank you, Sunset Fort Galle!

Really stunning property in Galle Fort - maybe the fanciest place I've stayed in Sri Lanka, it felt like a 5-star hotel. Clean, modern, comfortable room with really nice furnishings. The rooms look out over a beautiful garden/courtyard. The breakfast was also delicious! This place is on the pricier side but definitely worth it.

One of the best hotels we’ve ever stayed at! Wonderful staff, stunning property and beautiful clean rooms - we stayed in one of the villas as a family of 4 and were so comfortable. Breakfast was delicious, esp the Sri Lankan one. Less than 10 min drive to Galle Fort and we also enjoyed going to the Turtle Sanctuary nearby. We loved our stay so much we went back for another night at the end of our trip. Will be recommending to anyone we know going to Sri Lanka.

We chose this hotel because it seemed a nice place to recover from our long flight. We were not disappointed! We had a room with a lovely patio/balconny and we really enjoyed the pool and garden. The room was huge and looked great. Same goes for the bathroom. We loved the whole set-up. Sri Lankan breakfast was great too. Egg hoppers and fruit! The hotel arranged airport transport for us as well as a great tuktuk driver at competive prices. Galle fort was a bit of a walk. But then again, we knew a great tuktuk driver.

Clean and spacious apartment. Air conditioning was very good. Good location in a residential area. It’s a bit away from Galle fort but can be easily accessed (2 km walk or short ride by tuk tuk). The host Mr Renuka was very kind to offer a Sri Lankan breakfast and was very helpful in providing advise and arranging of transportation. Overall, a pleasant experience.
