    Gorgeous, friendly place. We loved our one night stay here. It's in a great location, in the centre of the fort. The room was immaculate, with simple and tasteful furniture. The bed and pillows were really comfortable. The Sri Lankan breakfast was amazing too. We'd stay here again in a heartbeat. The host was lovely, and really well connected in the community. Ask his advice on where to eat and what to do, and you won't be disappointed.

    Power cut is big problem since they don’t have generator. Nowadays it is 7-10 hours. I never had power loss in my room at any of my other hotels in Sri Lanka. One staff was very efficient and helpful. The rooms are in different building and the one close for the light house is not in good shape. Also no staff is present there.

    A beautifully presented room with a very comfortable bed and wonderfully warm shower. My room had a quaint balcony area big enough for relaxing with a morning coffee. The Sri Lankan breakfast was abundant and delicious. The hostess and staff were friendly, obliging and helpful. All in all, highly recommended!

    I am giving this 5 stars because of Sampath.... There was nothing he did not do make his guests comfortable. He basically does evetything himself from checking guests in, welcome drinks, showing the room, running guests around, cooking, 6star breakfast while the other 4 did nothing but stand around. If not for Sampath this place would be a flop

    Nice bathroom and shower, good decorations, cosy. The breakfast was impressive and the hosts friendly. A bit weird feeling having breakfast in the jewelry shop every morning. But ok a new experience πŸ™‚.

    Lovely clean stylish room. Great nights sleep. Very friendly and helpful team. And an amazing (Sri Lankan) breakfast. The room we'd booked wasn't available when we arrived but the team sorted out an alternative quite quickly (shame it wasn't ready when we arrived). But apart from that it's a great place with a super team running it and in a good central but peaceful location.

    Arty and unique guesthouse in Galle within the fort. Clean, air conditioned rooms, great value for money. Stayed in 2 of the rooms, one with the cute balcony overlooking the street perfect to sit and watch the goings on below. Also the large downstairs apartment style room with a hanging bed from the ceiling! Very friendly staff and a great breakfast, especially the Sri Lankan option.

    Ilfan and his lovely staff at Antic Guesthouse could not have been better. Our room was clean with a lovely balcony overlooking the spice shop. The breakfast was truly amazing. The advice and recommendations were all great but the big one was the help I received when I didn’t collect my passport from a SIM card vendor in Colombo that same morning. They arranged to have it picked up and delivered to Galle on the same day. No fuss and no crazy cost to do it. Genuinely good hearted people with good intentions. There is also a wonderful jeweller in house that designed and made a lovely bracelet for my wife at very reasonable rates that is being delivered to us tomorrow. Kim and I highly recommend Antic Guesthouse for position, ambience and quality of service.

    I had a comfortable stay. Safran and the staff were professional and made me feel very welcome - from the great breakfast, to arranging transport, to helping exchange money at a good rate. Would recommend.

    Wonderful Experience in a colonial building of the oldest living fort in the world, Galle Fort. Staff was helpful to give information or find stuff. Thank you πŸ™ Sampath and staff for your warmth hospitality.

    Interesting place, nice atmosphere, friendly staff, breakfast just ok (lots of fruit saved that experience)... :) room was not very practical, it looks good on photos and make interesting atmosphere, but if you need a table in the room and reliable wifi, you are probably looking for different place...

    If you don't find anyplace else to stay in Galle Fort, come and stay here for a night. Look for another place the next day. Location, by default, is good. Rooms are basic and for 50$ per night one expects more.Please don't go by the photographs.

😠 Walked in for dinner with friends at around 8.30 pm and was warmly welcomed. Our orders were taken promptly but then everything went downhill from there. Waited around 40 minutes till we decided to ask a waitstaff for an update on our food and we were assured that we would get it soon. After this we...
