The Heritage hotel in Galla is situated in the old town of fort and so much to see if you venture ou

Location was in the old town and lovely narrow streets to walk with so many small shops. The staff at the hotel were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was lovely and a lot of choice to order

Perfect for our short getaway with friends

A charming heritage property in the heart of old fort area of Galle. The room was functional, clean, spacious and perfect for us - a group of 4 friends. The location is perfect for exploring the area and the old fort area by foot. Most restaurants close by 11 pm inside Galle Fort area. The balcony that wraps around the room was perfect to sit & chill and enjoy a cup of coffee in the morning. The bed and bedding was super comfortable & we had a good rest each night. The staff was really helpful and prompt in addressing our requests specially Suneth & Hiruni. The service speed in the restaurant is a bit slow but considering we are on holiday it was ok. The airport transfers and local day trip was arranged with the hotel and our driver Udaya was very courteous & polite. He gave good suggestions of the beaches to visit in the southern coast.

The is no alcohol other than Beer/Wine available at the property so BYOB

Perfect hotel to explore Galle Fort.

This is a very charming hotel perfectly located in the heart of the Fort area. Large rooms with huge beds kept up very well. Unique in that it takes on the Dutch colonial style. Breakfast was excellent as were the people that work there.

Nothing .. hotel pictures and descriptions were true to form so no surprises.

Bestes Hotel ( Preis-Leistung) für’s Sightseeing!

Das Hotel ist mitten im Dutch Fort und somit ein toller Ausgangspunkt für das Sightseeing. Die Zimmer sind groß und sauber, die Betten sehr gut. Es war ruhig und erholsam! Das Frühstück für den Sri Lanka Standard super!

Der Spiegel im Bad sieht nicht mehr gut aus, müsste erneuert werden.

Galle Fort Stay

The staff is very friendly and responsive. They communicate clearly. Old style hotel but it is comfortable enough for three-star facilities. They have a van anyone can rent with a chauffeur. That is reasonable for the comfort you are getting. Good drivers.

There was a leak in the bathroom and after a day we realized it was actually the toilet. I believe they knew it but they must have thought we would be okay with it. When we complained they gave us another room. The restaurant food was cold and of low quality. Long waiting. Sri Lankan style food was not too bad. Egg yolks were pale yellow.

Beautiful property, great food!

Breakfast! Best breakfast we had in SL! The property also beautiful and the staff really kind.

One of the more expensive places we stayed, but commensurate with similar properties in this area. We arranged a tuk tuk early the morning we left which didn’t materialise, meaning a 15 min hike to the train station at 6.30am

Overall a lovely stay with really nice staff!

Spacious Rooms Friendly and helpful staff Early and late check in was allowed Location excellent Beautiful grounds

Although the grounds are beautifully kept and it’s a lovely hotel, I wouldn’t rate this as a 5 star. The cost is super high compared to other hotels we’ve stayed in Sri Lanka recently. The beds were comfy but had some sort of plastic protection sheet underneath the linen so felt a bit like you were sleeping in a hospital bed. The bathroom looks nice in photos but in reality need an update, the fixtures and decor need some work. The breakfast- staff were so nice but the food needs a little updating and there was no fresh coffee available- only Nescafe….. It was nice but not what you would expect from a 5 star hotel.

Best Sri Lankan breakfast around.

Excellent location for wandering around Galle fort. Fantastic air conditioning. The best Sri Lankan breakfast we had during our 2 weeks in Sri Lanka. Staff happy to help and signposted to a cheaper tuk tuk for our travels.

Brilliant location and breakfast, if I stayed longer - would have asked to change rooms.

Breakfast outstanding and location ideal. Building and garden beautiful. Warm welcome.

Room very dark and lacking air. Sheets didn’t seem super fresh. Not the loveliest room.

Stunning and excellent value hotel

The Heritage Hotel is set up in old Dutch style colonial accommodation in a great location within the Galle Fort. the staff were very friendly, helpful and looked after us very well. The room was lovely and clean with the biggest double bed I have ever slept in and was very comfortable. The breakfast served each morning was of a very high standard. The hotel organised a trip for us to visit Uda Walawe national park and assigned a driver to take three of us there in a very comfortable car. The driver looked after us and went on the safari to ensure we got the best trip possible. The hotel’s laundry service proved to be an excellent service for us as it was very hot and humid during our stay. The hotel also organised to drive us to the airport using the same comfortable car used for the trip to Uda Walawe. The hotel was excellent value for the quality and service we received.

Great hotel, great location with amazing staff

Great location and amazing staff. Rooms were a good size and aircon worked very well. Great breakfast with extra special Sri Lankan treats for Sri Lankan New Year. Staff allowed us a very late check out at no extra cost that we didn’t expect but greatly appreciated. couldn’t praise them enough for their kindness.

Excellent hotel in a really good location

Excellent location in the heart of town, 10-15 min walk from the train station or couple of mins by car. Convenient to everything in Galle Fort and for day trips outside. The staff were excellent, very accommodating and friendly and even arranged a packed breakfast for us as we were leaving early before breakfast started

No swimming pool unfortunately

Authentic experience In a good location but property lacking heart and soul

The hotel is a partly original old renovated Dutch building used as the dining etc area dating back many years and a 3-5 year old new hotel main building. The rooms had lots of character and were tastefully appointed throughout with wooden furniture and antique style decor, wooden chairs on the verandas and wooden shutters for an authentic experience. The location of the hotel is good on the main road in from the Fort entrance and is very walkable for all areas within Galle Fort.

WiFi in the room didn’t work at all. Reception had to bring us our own router for the room which then fixed the problem. Hotel was clean and well appointed but we felt it had no “heart or soul” - maybe due to the layout with an external reception and the rooms just arranged like a motel with external doors. The dining area was more like a mess hall being open sided - this allowed for a “open air experience” but birds were flying in and out and leaving little “gifts” on the tables and chairs.

It was enjoyable, relaxing and I enjoyed every minute of my three weeks vacation

The staff and in particular the Manager was very helpful. Nothing was too much trouble. Whenever he was asked for advice he went out of his way to help. The hotel was in a wonderful old Dutch building with a lovely garden. It was located in the centre of Galle fort close to wonderful restaurants and cafes and shops. I felt safe, I am 77 years of age and spent the first week on my own. I felt safe wandering around at night on my own. I had a suite in the hotel which was spacious and charming.

I have no complaints whatsoeve.r
