This boutique style hotel only opened a couple months ago and they’ve done everything just right! We loved our stay here, the rooms are contemporary yet still with classic touches of the local styles, they are spacious and clean, and the hotel is in such a great position to explore the fort area. The staff couldn’t be nicer- they are all so very friendly and efficient, and the breakfasts were really delicious- super fresh spread of fruit, local Sri Lankan breakfast and pancakes, and with different homemade juice every day too. We absolutely would come back and very happy to recommend it. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/98CB7042CF56150A604630E6E02320BF35621FDF1708833058994.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/E36981DFB9E8D47CF864998A949EBE75981384231708833041586.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### philippa Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2024 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jayson Aug 3, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### A Gem in Galle: Unmatched Hospitality and Comfort I recently had the pleasure of staying at Fort House for three nights with my partner and it was an incredibly accommodating and comfortable experience. The staff were exceptionally hospitable, warm, and attentive, with special mentions to Dilki, Husna, and Mohammed, who made our stay truly memorable. The breakfast each morning was a highlight of our stay. It was some of the best food we had during our entire trip to Sri Lanka. It was either egg hoppers or string hoppers, coconut curry, pancakes, fresh fruit, juice, coffee, and tea, all perfectly prepared and delicious. The rooms were excellent, equipped with nice air conditioning, making them a cool and relaxing retreat from the heat. The overall atmosphere of the hotel was welcoming and comfortable, and it was clear that the staff took great care in ensuring we felt at home. Overall, this was the most welcoming hotel experience I have ever had. The combination of excellent rooms, outstanding food, and incredibly kind and competent staff made our stay unforgettable. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Galle. ##### Jayson Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2024 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Vicki Mar 18, 2026 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Close to lighthouse.

Despite knowing issue of red-ants in the room, no provision was made. A lot of our food was wasted due to massive amount of red ants in the room. After we complained, a spray was provided which was of no use. The breakfast buffet has very limited options and they provide you whatever they have (sometimes without even asking) resulting in wastage of food. The staff leaves at 6pm which is quite early and if there's any assistance required only kitchen staff is available who don't know everything. The rooms door and windows open up in the corridor so you can't keep them open for fresh air in case you need privacy. The washrooms didn't have exhaust fan. The property is very new and it seems like they are ill-experienced and ill-equipped to provide quality service and facilities one would expect at this price. ##### Ayush Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2024 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Guillaume Apr 3, 2026 Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities nice staff ##### Guillaume Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2026 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### WILMA THEJA Mar 27, 2026 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service 全体的にいいホテル ##### WILMA THEJA Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2025 ### Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > - [KK Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Unawatuna-Hotels-KK-Beach.h15537316.Hotel-Information) > - [Garza Blanca Resort & Spa Cancun - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Cancun-Hotels-Garza-Blanca-Cancun-All-Inclusive.h20051835.Hotel-Information) > - [All Inclusive Resorts and Hotels in Pensacola Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Pensacola-Beach-Hotels-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d6677-tAllInclusiveHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > - [Oceanfront Hotels in Carlsbad](https://www.expedia.ca/Carlsbad-Hotels-Oceanfront-Hotels.0-0-d6056550-tOceanfrontHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > - [Royal Indigo Villa](https://www.expedia.ca/Unawatuna-Hotels-Royal-Indigo-Villa.h28419281.Hotel-Information) > - [Bloom Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Ankara-Hotels-Sembol-Hotel.h35539453.Hotel-Information) > - [Hotels in Joliette](https://www.expedia.ca/Joliette-Hotels.d181943.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > - [Apartments Sussex](https://www.expedia.ca/Sussex-Apartments.d7000-aaApartments.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > - [Hotels in Clarke Quay](https://www.expedia.ca/Clarke-Quay-Singapore-Hotels.0-n6270159-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > - [Hotels near Twelve Oaks Mall](https://www.expedia.ca/Twelve-Oaks-Mall-Hotels.0-l553248621555784674-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > - [Adults Only Resorts & Hotels in Michigan](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Michigan-Adults-Only-Resorts.0-0-d224-tAdultsOnlyResorts.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > - [Rock Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Nairobi-Hotels-ROCK-BEACH-RESORT.h49009182.Hotel-Information) > - [Hotel CORONA Lourdes](https://www.expedia.ca/Lourdes-Hotels-Hotel-CORONA-Lourdes.h75025974.Hotel-Information) > - [RUBENS BOUTIQUE HOTEL PHAN THIET](https://www.expedia.ca/Phan-Thiet-Hotels-RUBENS-BOUTIQUE-HOTEL-PHAN-THIET.h92999820.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > - [Flights from Chicago (ORD) to Regina (YQR)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ord/yqr/chicago-to-regina) > - [Flights from Windsor Locks (BDL) to Buffalo (BUF)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/bdl/buf/hartford-to-buffalo) > - [Flights from Edmonton International Airport (YEG) to Schwechat (VIE)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yeg/vie/edmonton-to-vienna) > - [Flights from Mississauga (YYZ) to Yekaterinburg (SVX)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/svx/toronto-to-yekaterinburg) > - [Flights from Zabierzow (KRK) to Dieppe (YQM)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/krk/yqm/krakow-to-moncton) > - [Flights from Hyderabad (HYD) to Kansas City (MCI)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/hyd/mci/hyderabad-to-kansas-city) ### Cars > - [Car rentals in Juárez](https://www.expedia.ca/Car-Rentals-In-Juarez.d553248635640632829.Car-Rental-Guide) ### Packages > - [Cosmic Adventures](https://www.expedia.ca/Cosmic-Adventures-Gloucester.d553248621532865701.Vacation-Attraction) ### Vacation Rentals ### General
