    This boutique hotel is value for money. Each of the four rooms are well appointed and hold a charm that makes them comfortable and inviting. Small details include comfortable beds including good quality pillows, great juice cocktails at breakfast and a feeling of generosity. Breakfast is excellent and generous. Coffee and tea is available on request throughout the day free of charge. We took all the upstairs rooms for our family of six. The sea view room is the same size as the one next to it. The other room is the largest and there is place for an extra bed there. Downstairs I'm told has two single beds. Air conditioning works well and there is also a fan with mosquito netting if needed.

    Beautiful - a secluded, peaceful villa with lovely staff who really try (and succeed!) at making your stay a pleasant one. Our room was enormous and our bed was really comfortable. Lovely shower and terrific breakfast. Wish I could stay forever!

    Good location, great breakfast. They have brown bread for breakfast which most hotels don't have. Very clean and comfy rooms. The hotel is nearby the lighthouse area and some well known restaurants around the Fort. I truly recommend this place.

    Beautiful building with comfy rooms. All amenities were provided and of good quality. Allowed us to do our washing and use the washing line saving us having to spend on a laundromat. Service was outstanding. We were given the option of Sri Lankan or Western breakfast and the serving for two was very generous!

    Fantastic location near the Lighthouse. Loads of beautiful shops around the corner. The Galle Fort area kept us busy for 2 full days... highly recommend staying at Fort Bliss... Jeff at the hotel was attentive yet fuss free. Thanks for a relaxed stay! Grace & Tim

    We first went to Fort Bliss in year 2015 and this was our second visit to them. We loved the place from our first visit and when ever we went to Galle Fort for mini vacations we wanted to book Fort Bliss several times but unfortunately it was not available, this time we were able to book the very last room. Sea View Room or any of the rooms at the first floor are lovely. Very clean Spacious rooms Friendly staff Nice view of the sea Peaceful hotel Lovely breakfast; they serve so many varieties for their English Breakfast Nice location all the required shops like restaurants, coffee shops, spas are just walking distance away from the hotel Worth for the money and we will surely visit again Highly recommended place

    Beautiful old house in a quiet street of Galle Fort. The hotel has only a few rooms, which makes the place intimate and homey. Our room was large, with a comfortable bed and a spacious bathroom. The beautiful dark wooden furniture adds to the colonial atmosphere. Despite that, we found the room not very cozy (empty and bare), with only one window to the outside. Outside our room was a nice, small sitting area. Breakfasts were huge and tasty. Staff were very friendly and attentive, really doing their best making you feel at home. We definitely would stay here again. Recommended!

    We spent one night in this cute little guest house in Galle. The room was spacious and had air con. The owner was kind and helpful and served a great breakfast of fruit, eggs, toast, salad, and coffee. It was Sri Lankan new year and the town was very quiet - we were the only guest in the hotel! Nonetheless we had a great experience.

    Old colonial style hotel in a quite area near walls, view on the sea and few steps from lighthouse.Large rooms decorated with taste. Large bathroom with walk in shower. And last but not least amazingly helpful and kind staff. Highly recommend

    I had the opportunity to stay in Fort Bliss last week. This is THE place to stay in Galle if you are visiting. Sunil is exceptional host, Looking into every detail of us. Very homely. The breakfast is wonderful πŸ˜‹. Easy access to the ramparts. Hope to visit again.

    From the moment Sunil answered the Dutch gable door till we left, the Fort Bliss was just that. The rooms are quaint. Not kitch, nice touches like dimmable light switches, a ceiling fan, hot water, a safe ... It's all there. The common areas are comfortable and spacious, and Sunil sets the mood with the lighting as it gets closer to sunset. And then, breakfast. By far and away the best we had in Sri Lanka. Not that different from the other offers, just executed flawlessly. The pineapple 🍍 beautifully turned, a tiny spoon for the passion fruit, papaya cut and ready. The omlet was divine, with the cooked sambal number on the side. Highly recommended this place.

    Lovely cosy rooms, recently built but in the traditional Dutch style, very clean and comfortable. Breakfast was delicious, free laundry service (no ironing)

    We stayed at this small boutique hotel for 3 nights. The location is fabulous at the corner of Lighthouse St and Rampart St.; one room at this property has a beautiful sea view and we were lucky enough to get that room which added to our experience. The view aside, it is still a 5/5 for the service and location inside Galle Fort. There are some great restaurants, cute cafes, chic boutiques within a walkable distance. Coming to the service, there are 2 sweet caretakers who shared some nice recommendations, arranged a good healthy breakfast and were available for any request. My only nitpick would be the black coffee I was served which tasted burnt. Everything else was fabulous. I highly recommend staying here.

😠 They ask you to pay for the exchange rate on that specific day but not what was mentioned in booking.com. This was not informed on arrival and so ended up paying about 10% more. The stay was otherwise ok but because of this, I would not recommend.
