Central

Ok place to stay - central and with food beds

Odd layout - very little daylight- there is very little space outside the small dark room. There is very little service from the hosts - has a bed and breakfast fell - but without the breakfast…

Lovely welcoming stay here, location perfect directly within the fort itself. Husband and wife welcomed us so kindly, letting us make cups of tea whenever we wanted. We were especially grateful of their kindness in dropping us at our next location as they were going the same way. Basic accommodation but perfect for what we needed!

A few hundred metres away from the Buddhist temple in the fort, this is a great location and easy for drivers to find. The aircon, wifi and shower all work perfectly and the couple running this place are lovely welcoming and helpful. Hard to imagine a better stay in Galle

Nothing to dislike.

Disappointing

I was offered a room on the uper floor, less noisy but on arrival I was put on the ground floor,the man gave me some vague reasons concerning cancellation and other bull stories, anyway it was only for one night, so no big fuss. ; the ground floor room could have been all right if the owner would not have spoken from 14hoo hours to 22h30 hours on her cell phone, on a sofa in front of the room. in the reception area. Otherwise she was very helpful, WC cover old and dirty, hotel noisy, I will not reccomend it.

very nice experience in the heart of Galle fort, and wonderful hosts

Dr. Dileepa was welcoming from the first moment, she helped me check in, took me in a ride with her car to show me the main attractions, and when I was leaving she drove me with her car to the bus station (I was lucky in both cases because I was in her way) the place is super nice and cozy, I had the ground room, it was smooth. the location is amazing, in the heart of the old city of Galle, everything within a walking distance. perfect if you want to capture the essence of the city.

The ground floor room was close to the entrance, so it was noisy sometimes if people were talking or loud TV. but it isn’t that annoying, and usually during sleep time no one is there and no one is in the streets so it isn’t that much of a noise

Great location in the center of the fort in Galle

Nice location in the center of the Fort of Galle. She gave us good advice how we could travel to our next location. she also gave us good advice and offered to drive us around to escape the rain.

In our opinion the room was not clean. There was also a flickering light in the hallway which was pretty annoying.

Poor

The pics on the site is not right . The balcony is hardly there. The owners are nice but they are not at the property. For a female solo traveller i felt it was lonely and dark. The room doors had creeky sound and other weird sounds so felt not safe and checked out in 2 hrs , headed towards Unatuwana hotel but paid full amount.

The friendliest hosts we've met. Really went out of their way to sort things for us such as onward travel, promoting the cheapest options which was really genuine and friendly. We also had really interesting conversations in the evenings and advice on where to visit. The room is basic but great. Good WiFi and fast air conditioning! Such a central location in the fort as well, everything is on your doorstep.

Facilities are relatively basic but all you need and more than made up for by the location and generosity of the hosts.

Simple room in a perfect location with very kind people!

The owners of Fort Sapphire are amazing! They really made our stay incredible. The lady helped us get to the right bus by bringing us herself by car to the busstation.

The rooms are fine and in a perfect location, but it could be a little cleaner. But fine for backpackers ;)

Very good

The location was perfect, room really clean (maybe a little smaller than we expected it to be but doesn't really matter), hosts were very kind!

It was really hot in the room but that's only because of the powercuts. When the a/c worked it was fine :-)
