I would HIGHLY recommend staying in the Fort area when visiting Galle. That being said, Fort Bazaar was the perfect place. Great service and perfect location. Bed and pillows were comfortable and shower pressure was great. Laundry service reasonable and same day. Good happy hour. Quiet for a good nights sleep. We booked a Double Bazaar Bedroom and it was a large room and only a few stairs (Room 12).

Perfect location; great staff; great breakfast. Did not eat dinner there but I’m sure would be lovely. Pool was a great amenity on a hot Galle afternoon.

Galle Fort

This Dutch colonial fort is Galle’s most popular attraction, and for good reason – a stroll along this UNESCO World Heritage Site showcases streets brimming with old-time charm and stunning sea views. It takes an hour or two to walk along the fort, with plenty of opportunities to stop at cafés, museums and shops along the way.

Lovely but quite a touristy trap.

Lovely but quite a touristy trap. The exorbitantly priced food was what I was aghast about. About 5 to 10 times more expensive than most restaurants and eateries elsewhere in Sri Lanka. Also, most eateries were not as clean as in the rest of SL. The town is great to walk through but lack of fairly priced eateries with good food is a clear deterrant.

Serendipitous is a great word to describe this place.

Serendipitous is a great word to describe this place. There's aways something pleasantly surprising around the corner. Be it an influencer trying to get a good shot without the crowds or families walking the ramparts.

This is an excelent hotel, the best we stayed in during our 3 week stay in Sri Lanka. It is beautifully designed and furnished. All the people working there are friendly, helpful and quickly respond to any request. It is in a quiet location only a short tuk tuk ride from Galle Fort. All the food was excellent quality both breakfast and dinner. I would dedinately recommend staying here.

Great location, with good restaurants and bars within a few minutes’ walk. Just down the road from Galle Fort. Staff are relaxed and friendly. Completely non intrusive and they make you feel like nothing is a big deal. There was a good shower in the bathroom. And at breakfast the coffee was good quality and came in nice china cups. Usually with budget hotels you just get Nescafe!

Right in the midst of Galle Fort and very clean and comfortable. The hotel breakfast is traditional Sri Lankan food. It was delicious and the staff were very helpful with explaining how to eat it. The staff were all lovely and also helped with day planning and recommendations.

Dam , the host is very helpful and hospitable.He gave information on sightseeing at the Galle Fort.He transpoted us to and from the railway station and to the Galle Fort free of charge.He even accompanied us to shop for food during our late arrival from the train station. The apartment is by far the best lodging we have at Sri Lanka.It's spacious with cooking facilities. I really recommed to stay at Dam's place if you are at Galle.

The staff was welcoming, helpful, and friendly. The hotel is located in a prime spot—just a short walk from the Galle Clock Tower, popular restaurants, museums, the lighthouse, and even bathing spots. Galle Fort is a stunning location in Sri Lanka, and staying here gave us easy access to everything it has to offer. Breakfast was a simple yet satisfying English breakfast, served with a fresh fruit platter and coffee. And all of this came at a very reasonable rate. Until we meet again, Thank you, Sunset Fort Galle!

Really stunning property in Galle Fort - maybe the fanciest place I've stayed in Sri Lanka, it felt like a 5-star hotel. Clean, modern, comfortable room with really nice furnishings. The rooms look out over a beautiful garden/courtyard. The breakfast was also delicious! This place is on the pricier side but definitely worth it.

One of the best hotels we’ve ever stayed at! Wonderful staff, stunning property and beautiful clean rooms - we stayed in one of the villas as a family of 4 and were so comfortable. Breakfast was delicious, esp the Sri Lankan one. Less than 10 min drive to Galle Fort and we also enjoyed going to the Turtle Sanctuary nearby. We loved our stay so much we went back for another night at the end of our trip. Will be recommending to anyone we know going to Sri Lanka.
