Old boutique hotel with lots of charm, excellently located within the fort. Lovely garden and grounds located at the rear. We were the only guests there so it was very peaceful.

Charming and colonial . Hidden garden. Perfect to relax Lovely pool Lovely space to sit on the sofa and relax .

These are just comments that we felt needed addressing - orchard house is lovely and we enjoyed our stay ! We arrived to find the men looking after the orchard house watching tv- I am unsure if this room with the books and tv were for guest use . Our room was very charming but very little attention to detail - the lamp didn’t work - huge spider and cockroaches residing ! Most surfaces were a little dusty and unclean . The mosquito net was musty and unwashed with lots of rips / holes . The listing needs to be changed as orchard house does not offer a restaurant as stated - so no evening meal option . We didn’t mind as plenty of options in the fort - but it was a shame you were unable to buy / request a coffee or a cold drink . Breakfast was very nice . Odd the Christmas tree was still up in the entrance hall ! Feel Orchard house is slightly over priced .

Inside the fort area. Perfect with nearby sea and also one of three places with pool inside the fort area

Pas de parking pour les motos 🤔

Very refreshing to have a pool to cool off in. Location was great, right in the centre of the fort. Bed was comfy. Lovely old building and traditional style decor, could do with a little touch up in places. Nice breakfast in the garden.

Nothing else

abbiamo soggiornato a fine gennaio 2024 e siamo soddisfatti della scelta fatta, in zona centrale ma silenziosa della città vecchia, palazzo antico ristrutturato con poche camere e un giardino interno affascinante, colazione buona, staff gentile e disponibile, puoi visitare a piedi città vecchia e passeggiare lungo le mura osservando la gente o aspettando il tramonto, puoi anche scendere in spiaggia e fare il bagno. Nessun problema per mangiare, ci sono ristoranti e caffè per tutte le tasche, io consiglio il PUNTO CAFFE si mangia bene e non si spende molto ma attenzione perché ha pochi tavoli.

Le camere sono piccole e ricevono poca luce, i mobili antichi scuri le rendono un po' dark, sarebbe necessario rinfrescare i muri e risolvere il problema delle macchie di umidità presenti in alcuni punti della stanza.

Location was perfect Staff were incredibly helpful Garden was beautiful Pool was lovely

The garden is beautiful and full of little birds and things to watch. It was a highlight of the stay. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The hotel is centrally located but still quiet.

Sadly, there was a power cut in much of the Galle Fort area which also affected the hotel our first time. Of course, this was out of the control of the hotel. Still, they were very considerate to give us a discount for that night. We really appreciated this small touch as of course it was quite unpleasant to have a night without AC or fan.
