Nice big old colonial house with spacious room.

We stayed at Fort Bliss for 2 nights. We had a great room with lots of space, big bathroom and very clean. The location is perfect for walking around town and it was quiet. Breakfast was abundant and delicious. The service was terrific. Overall, we were very happy with our selection. The hotel is in a big, colonial dutch house. The high ceilings add an extra nice touch.

Möchte ich bebingungslos empfehlen. Perfekte Lage für das Fort und Sonnenuntergang, tolles (westliches) Frühstück, angenehme und sehr saubere Zimmer und der Chef selbst kümmert sich bemüht um alles. UND natürlich ganz wichtig, man hat morgens und abends kaum Tagestouristen, weil man ja vor Ort ist.

Great convenient location on edge of the old city in the quiet section of town. Small boutique colonial style hotel full of charm at an acceptable cost for Galle. A trifle difficult getting large suitcases up narrow stairs if staff unavailable. Rooms a little cramp but clean and well furnished, only downside no curtains on above window fan windows letting in lots of night lights that will bother a light sleeper. Good professional staff, great breakfast and good prompt service.

Great Stay, Great Staff, Great Location

とても雰囲気の良い宿泊施設です。 スタッフのスニールさんがとても親切に対応してくれました！ 他のスタッフの方も非常に親切です！ 朝食はフルーツがかなりボリューミーなので、あまりフルーツが得意じゃない方は、少なめにしてもらった方が良いです。 もしくは、フルーツジュースのみ。 スリランカ風のオムレツは最高でした！スニールさん特製の"ジャパニーズソース"を掛けて食べると最高です。 ホテルは海のすぐ近くで、灯台も歩いてすぐです。ぜひ、早起きして日の出を見に行かれるのをオススメします。 また、ホテル周辺（300m圏内）にはカフェやレストランがたくさんありますので、散歩がてらで色々と回れます。 Barefootもすぐ近くにあるので、コロンボに行く暇がない方には便利かと。 とにかくここのホテルはスタッフさんが最高です！
