Fabulous accommodation within the fort.

Fabulous! Staff were friendly and helpful, breakfast was delicious. Room was spacious, clean and attractively furnished. Convenient location within the fort. We were concerned before arrival about the lack of glass in the windows but this wasn’t an issue at all as the windows have shutters, so don’t let this put you off.

Sheets were a little rough.

Overall a pleasant stay

Great location on a quiet street. Staff were friendly & helpful in giving advice on where to eat and how reach certain locations. We booked a family room but were provided with two separate rooms which was great. Master bedroom had balcony facing the fairly quiet street, which was lovely. The rooms are a decent size with some wear & tear & were fairly clean. The place has good feel to it despite needing some TLC. Breakfast was plentiful with coffee/ fresh fruit/local and European offering.

The second bedroom - had one decent double bed with a balcony bunk arrangement which looked great, but was hard to access for kids as it was steep & narrow climb. Plus limited air circulation as the heights of the bunk was above the air con/fan location. Had to leave bathroom windows open at all times as it smelt bad after being shut for a while. The breakfast first day was lovely and was told they change it everyday just to be served same again next day ( banana pancakes/ hoppers with daal). Were told for 2nd time we will be served roti and different variation to be served fried eggs/sausages/toast & no SriLankan option. Wouldn’t have minded the same again for 3 days but was looking forward to trying a variation local cuisine. The sheets/pillow/towels are very worn and some had holes/stains on it. First day we had to take our bin to them to be emptied but next day rooms were cleaned and bins emptied/fresher towels provided. WiFi - was very patchy so if you wanted do some work it was a bit of a challenge. The service can be described a bit laid back, but at all times very friendly.

Poor experience

Location, flower arrangement

The owner's attitude, rudeness, impatience and lack of professional competency towards food request, poor infrastructure of lack of a basic handle on toilet door, shaky main door to room, hole in ceiling and walls, poorly maintained linen

Great rooms and an even better location

The overall experience was quite amazing. First time I visited the property and they were extremely accommodating throughout the stay. We arrived quite late and when we called to check whether this was okay, Lahiru volunteered to stay late to make sure we got in okay. Rooms were quite spacious and the property is clean and beautifully maintained. All amenities provided were working and as it was a working-holiday for me, there were plenty of nooks and crannies around the place I could sit and work from. Would definitely be going back.

The food served at the property could do with a bit of variety, and keep with the overall vibe of the location. Some of the plug points inside the room were not functional, which was a bit of an issue when we wanted to charge our devices.

Superb

Cozy, clean and beautiful rooms. The staff was friendly. It was very close to Pedlar streetand the fort. ( As I travelled alone, easy and quick access to these two places were important for me) Loved the breakfast too. It was very calm and quiet. Will go back again. Loved the overall vibe there.

In the heart og Fort Galle

Nice located in the heart of the Fort, lovely breakfast, lovely staff.

The room felt very damp and smelly locked in basement. There was a mosquito problem in the room even with a AC. It could have helped with a mosquito net over the bed. Ask for a room 2. Floor, we was at the 1.level.

Passable

Friendly staff and lot of good places to eat at a walking distance.

One day one there were a lot of mosquitoes in the room because of which we couldn't sleep all night. The following day staff smoked the room to get rid of mosquitoes. But, the smoke was so heavy that it made difficult to breathe and all our clothes were smelling because of the it.

Beautiful little boutique hotel perfectly located. Our stay in Galle was surprisingly pleasant and the host helped us with many things including transportation.

Breakfast could have been a bit better in line with others we had in Sri Lanka but still good. Though the breakfast table setting was one of the best.

Value for money is doubtful.

We booked this hotel, but we’re taken to the sister hotel called Parawara House which is exactly the same as Small House and only two doors away. It has the same owners. The owner offered us downstairs rooms because my friend has mobility challenges and we appreciated that. It was central and had a small garden and a pet rabbit. Outside seating was comfortable. AC and ceiling fans were great.

My friend’s room was double the size of mine, but we were charged the same and the fee was actually higher than quoted on Booking.com. We were charged in US dollars that were converted into rupees and this did not match the currency conversion. The difference was about 2000, so I let it go. I only realised later that I had not been given my change after I paid. This is the first place that hasn’t provided us with a welcome drink and when we requested juice, we were charged for it. In the morning, we saw no one until our breakfast arrived and we went out and bought our own coffee and milk so that we could have a hot drink. Teabags and creamer are provided. Breakfast was good but we were not offered a choice. My friend’s shower only ran with tepid water, although mine was hot. She also had an issue with the sink tap, but this was fixed. The top sheet on my bed was torn. The internet did not work in my room and even my phone struggled to get a signal. There was only a few pieces of toilet paper left, and none in the cupboard. Fortunately, I’m okay with the spray hose. There is no refrigerator in the rooms that I saw.

the hosts are amazing! they go out of their way to make you feel comfortable and happy. They kept us updated with government power cuts throughout our stay.The building itself is stunning and full of charm! Breakfast is the best we have had in Sri Lanka with loads of local fruit. Finally the location is insane, so close to everything you would want to see.

Beautiful and romantic, the perfect place to stay in Galle fort

The whole place was stunning! We loved our room, it was spacious and beautifully decorated with colonial style furnishings. The bathroom was huge! Everything was spotless! We also had a beautiful outside courtyard seating area and access to a kitchen too! I would highly recommend this hotel! The staff at the hotel were kind, helpful and genuinely cared about our stay! Everything was also walking distance to all of the main sites in the fort. We can't wait to come back and stay here again!

Pictures and reality were different. Be careful

The breakfast was tasty, cafe service was great.

Photos on booking.com and the real rooms are different. We booked room with bath (it was important and bath was the only reason to choose this hotel), but when we arrived - we saw small room with shower, and the host told us, there is no bathes anymore. Then we faced with power outage for hours. It was hot and scary. We couldn’t charge our devices, air condition didn’t work, and also THERE WAS NO WATER during the outage. We were hardly disappointed because while we were staying there — the power and the water were only for few hours. So, sad and dirty, we continued our trip to another location.

Great location!

Great location (although really hard to find initially, no signs and it looks like someone’s home!) - just off the main shopping street with a great restaurant opposite (Lucky fort) Really clean rooms Super helpful staff

There was no generator so no power during the government power cuts No choice at breakfast (although plenty of it)
