Super location and very nice Staff ! Original deco and their "Puppets" restaurant is worth the try 👍
Nothing really. Rooms are very clean, like recently renovated

The hotel is located inside the Galle Dutch Fort, which was very convenient. Very good location for a good evening walk by the ocean. Restaurant has a wide variety of food and coffee was really excellent. Loved the atmosphere and the friendly staff. The chicken curry was marvelous; even though it was spicy, it just hit the right spot!!!

Best location of the fort,near the light house beach and close to the busy pedlar street, however calm and quiet in the property ensuring good rest. Breakfast choices were many, we had sri lankan and french breakfast each, couldn't decide wich was the best. Tasty, appetizing and authentic. Rooms were clean and comfy. Overall great use of space. Old dutch house turned into a beautiful hotel while keeping the original soul.
Not having another day or two for explore around. This place definitely need 3 days minimum

Absolutely everything! First up, the ambience! It has a unique aesthetic - very artistic. The puppets add a unique look and feel. They’ve designed and decorated the place very artistically. The rooms like something out of a fantasy - they look like rooms from a dollhouse! Very unique. Staying here was an experience in itself. Not to be missed if one is ever in Galle, Sri Lanka. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. You get service with a smile! The staff makes sure that your stay is comfortable. Dimutu, the manager, even offered us a packed breakfast on the day we were to check out early. The kitchen is an open kitchen where one can see the meals being prepared. There is a water dispenser outside the rooms for the guests to use.

My partner and I loved Galle Fort! Definitely a highlight of our Sri Lanka holiday. Le Jardin du Fort was excellently situated in the heart of the fort. The rooms were clean and well-decorated, and the staff were very accommodating. Would recommend!
3.5 / 5.0
The rooms were beautifully furnished and comfortable. The bathroom is not totally private with a swing door to separate it from bedroom. The location is fabulous and the owner and her staff are friendly, professional and very helpful. We ate dinner there on the first night which was delicious.
I personally did not like the puppets which I found spooky and the dark corridor leading to the bedrooms but that’s personal taste and did it decline from our very comfortable stay.

What a lovely little hotel! Everything is decorated with a lot of love and the room was very comfortable and clean. The staff and the owners of the hotel were very sweet and helpful, organising a taxi to the airport and communicating with us before our arrival. The food was also very tasty. At our arrival, when the owner realised we only booked a second night so that we could freshen up in the evening before driving to the airport, she offered us the breakfast after the first night, which we thought was a lovely and kind gesture. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a place to stay in Galle.
Everything was great!

The most memorable feature of this beautifully curated and remarkable small boutique hotel is the warmth and friendliness of owners Maneyika and Charles. The staff and service levels are exemplary and the breakfasts, ordered directly off the a la carte menu, especially delicious and accompanied by Maneyika’s own handmade croissants, baked freshly for you. Oh, and the best coffee, yes truly, in all Sri Lanka. Take note that this charming little place is in the heart of a colorful heritage neighborhood and strict limits are imposed on what can and cannot be done in converting the building into an hotel. Please don’t come with expectations of luxury hotels with all the trappings and expect instead the feeling that you are an honored guest in the company and home of genuine and creative friends.
Our bedroom was perhaps a little dark but that is outcome of restrictions imposed on a heritage building project and the rest was just perfect.

The hospitality of the owners was true hospitality! They made me feel like a long time family friend and took their time to chat with every single guest, you don't see that everywhere anymore!
The decor of the room was super cute. And the bed was very comfortable.
The WIFI wasn't working properly, probably due to the telecom situation when I was there. But the owner came out and apologised and took action immediately.

The owner. The decor with the puppets. Breakfast one of the best in Sri Lanka (and competition is fierce). Better internet than most places in Sri Lanka. Unlike some guesthouses, they actually use their reserve generator during power cuts.
Slightly odd layout of rooms where toilet is only separated from main room by a curtain.
4.0 / 5.0
Good location in the middle of the fort,, beds are confortable, hosts are nice. The guesthouse communicates a lot with you before which is quite appreciable (giving some information so you cannot be disappointed by the size of the room, the fact there's no door btw bathroom and bedroom. It's important to know before booking indeed)
It's a great place but a bit overrated - the space is quite humid in the backyard, breakfast is not that good (we had the "french breakfast"). It's nice but I was expecting more confort.

This boutique hotel is just perfect and is a gem in the middle of Galle Fort. Not to be missed. The hosts Maneyika and Charles are amazing, kind, friendly and so knowledgeable about the area. This was our second time to visit and we shall return. Thank you so much Maneyika and Charles.
