    A good hotel to try. No beach view or fancy decorations but it is made to reflect the old architecture inside the fort. Many hotels in Galle fort doesn’t have a parking space of their own, but this new hotel has a fairly good enough parking space. The restaurant is spacious and comfortable enough to dine in. I experienced my dinner here in a less crowded week day, and I think the calm atmosphere might not prevail in a busy night. They have a conventional menu as in any of the hotels in the area. They didn’t serve liquor. Food was tasty and the waiters were good and caring for our needs.

    Went for a cappuccino with a friend. It was perfect and the piece of cake which came along with the coffee was heavenly! Great staff with friendly attitude. The Araliya trees gives you the soothing feel. The Araliya flower scent during the evenings specially is a treat while enjoying a hot cuppa.

    Lovely hotel, friendly and efficient staff, fabulous breakfast - a mix of all Sri Lankan favourites and continental. We really enjoyed our stay in clean and very well laid out rooms and bath. I'd recommend this hotel with no fear of anyone being displeased in any area of their hospitality and comfort.

    Beautiful dutch colonial style hotel. Excellent service and very comfortable rooms.

  • 5/5 Nick R. 2 years ago on Google
    The hotel itself is a beautiful colonial style building with a courtyard and a lovely restaurant. The rooms were spacious, comfortable, and clean, with AC and a ceiling fan to keep us cool (being from England that is important)! What really sets this hotel apart from all the others is the people. They went above and beyond to help, would always smile and say hello when we saw them, and took a genuine interest in us. Nothing was too much trouble. Thilini on reception, Shanushka (who we gave the nickname "the nice guy" before we knew his name), and Sidath the manager were absolutely amazing. Nahlinda, our TukTuk guy also deserves a shout out even though he isn't technically part of the hotel staff. Location wise there are an absolute tonne of restaurants, cafes, shops, museums etc that you can walk to in 2 or 3 minutes. It is only a 10 minute journey to the beach by TukTuk, and there are temples, spice farms, and lots of wildlife to visit nearby! The Fort itself is also really interesting and great to walk around, grab a King Coconut, and watch the sunset. We will definitely be returning on our next trip to Sri Lanka

    We only were stopping by in the restaurant, which was really good. Humble and friendly service and good prices. The food and drinks quality was also very good. We recommend the place, even for a short snack :)

    Wonderfully solid colonial building with stone and rosewood features. Family room on the second floor is very large and as it is at the end of the building provides essentially private verandahs. Staff are more than helpful. Located centrally to everything. My pick for the price.

  • 5/5 Rienzo R. 1 year ago on Google
    Such an amazing place that offers more than what you expect, Sri Lanka cuisine was on point.. They rooms were very hygienic specifically travelling with kids and the family room was very spacious... Sunimal at the restaurant conversed well and always made sure we were well taken care off... Suneth accommodated our requests and was very courteous... we will definitely go back...

    Very beautiful place with Excellent location. Clean room and helpful staff, fast internet, check in and check out. We didn’t try the restaurant The only disadvantage was the outside noises ! When a truck pass by the hotel seems like it’s inside the room! that distubed our sleep too much.

  • 5/5 Alexandra B. 1 year ago on Google
    We love this place. We keep on coming back to stay here and the wonderful team has become like family. every time we are welcomed like good old friends coming back. The team is amazing and always go above and beyond to make our stay perfect! this place is amazing value for money, the bed is huge, everything is very clean and you get an amazing breakfast served with a smile. During one of our visits during Covid lock down, the hotel was actually closed but they opened up specifically for us, they put us up, they run out to get us some dinner (as all restaurants were closed) and cooked some amazing rice and curry with no notice at all and they looked after us so well, we really appreciated it! The location could not be better, within the Fort so everything is at your door step. we can only recommend this place! Greetings to the whole team from Switzerland!

    Very nice place to stay. Friendly staff and the food was great too. Mosquitos were bit of a problem.

  • 4/5 Rohan D. 5 years ago on Google
    We had lunch here on Saturday 04th Nov. It is tastefully decorated and has a lovely ambience to the place. The front office staff, restaurant staff and Chef were so friendly and helpful. Reasonable prices. Would recomment The Heritage as an excellent choice to relax and unwind.

  • 5/5 Navindra W. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing place with such a friendly team with super service. Restaurant & rooms were nice & clean. Super tasty food! Spacious place with a nice garden. We had a small get together with friends for a spend the day & the manager arranged us a special mini lunch buffet for a very reasonable price with a nice tasty spread. Manager Suneth gave an amazing service & the chef Poorna's food was amazing too! Can recommend this place with-out any doubt for anyone. Couples, Solos, Family & Friends or even for parties & get togethers! Hope to visit soon!

    Classical Vintage Sri Lankan style hotel fantastic services, lovely rooms, First Class Sri Lankan style tasty food and last but not least very friendly, warm, welcoming staffs. I will recommend this lovely Heritage Hotel in Galle Fort to anyone who wants to stay or visit Galle Fort. Definitely I will be coming back.

  • 5/5 Kristine B. 9 months ago on Google
    The service was excellent from the second they picked us up at the airport. The people who work here are so nice and warm, and eager to help you in any way they can. The hotel felt very secure, and has perfect location within Galle fort. Everything is within walking distance. The rooms were large and clean, and they made the bed every day. They also had bottled water and fresh towels delivered every day. The bathroom was a bit humid at times, but nothing that bothered us much. The breakfast was nice. They were easy to contact in regards to transport, and the van they picked us up in was very large and roomy, with water, air-condition, and a very nice driver.

  • 4/5 Udhey S. 9 months ago on Google
    It's a heritage property in the middle of the best area in Galle Fort. I loved the oversized beds, probably the biggest I've ever seen in a hotel. There are only 15 rooms so they take good care of you and the service is good. The rooms are spacious, comfortable and have a coffee maker & a safe.

  • 3/5 Emmanuel T. 1 year ago on Google
    Superb relocation with many nearby spots including the light house. So it's walking distance to most attractions. Rooms are clean with enough space. The place is well maintained. However, the food is below average and the quantity is less. So it's a good place to stay if you have plans to move around. Because things to do within the hotel is very limited. Might visit the place again for it's comfortable room.

  • 4/5 Eds L. 10 months ago on Google
    We stayed here for 3 nights and had a lovely stay. The room was spacious and really clean. A tiny balcony at the back of the room for hanging wet clothes after swimming is a plus. Staff service goes beyond and our breakfast every morning was like a feast. We can’t complain about anything except for a better steady wifi connection and more tv channels options. But overall it was fantastic.

  • 5/5 Asanga S. 1 year ago on Google
    We discovered this gem located right in the centre of the Galle Fort and couldn't have been happier with our stay. The booking process was seamless and the staff were very friendly and helpful from the beginning through to the stay. The property is beautiful and seamlessly blends in with the surrounding architecture. The rooms are modern, spacious and most of all immaculately presented. We would definitely return for a longer stay.

  • 5/5 nisha b. 6 months ago on Google
    If you want to experience the old Dutch charm with the modern facilities in the old town center, this is the place to be. The rooms are spacious with all the amenities and the breakfast spread is full of choices. Great Ambience and friendly staff. All city attractions are at a walking distance.

  • 5/5 Dmitry G. 5 months ago on Google
    Beautiful place! in my opinion this is the best cafe in Galle Fort! clean, comfortable, very kind attentive staff. tasty food!!! Pay attention to the breakfasts - they are delicious and very large! I recommend

  • 2/5 ChefTima C. 5 months ago on Google
    Honestly they have a beautiful property. The rooms are pretty but beds are super creaky, shower was amazing. One of us ordered lunch; Sri Lankan rice and curry (vegetarian) and got food poisoning. My daughter loves kiri batt and Upon special request I asked them to make it, it came dry and very hard in texture. Breakfast was another story too. We asked for the continental, we also asked for 2 plain omelets and 1 cheese, clearly mentioned 1 cheese only omelet and was disappointed with the add-ons (onions and tomatoes). I feel that they find it hard to follow instructions. Service was slow. And guess what?! Upon asking if the sausages they serve are halal the attendant hadn’t a clue and finally upon asking the second time he says no. So they can’t cater for Muslim guests clearly. I then asked to see the manager who comes and says “you should have informed us” in a tone that only led me to believe they were doing us a favor, clearly we paid without issues. I was very very thrown back by the managers responses and lack of capability to address issues with a guest.

    Good hotel in the heart of Galle Fort. Rooms were spacious, good breakfast (tried the Sri Lankan menu). Received a complimentary foot massage which was also great

  • 5/5 Marianne B. 8 months ago on Google
    Perfect base to explore Galle Fort and the surrounding area! The staff were very generous and easy to contact, and we hired a driver from the hotel to pick us up. Great price and a nice, clean and comfortable hotel!

  • 5/5 max p. 7 months ago on Google
    We had a lovely 2 nights stay at the hotel where everything was excellent. The staff is what makes the difference, exemplary service and always with a smile. Location is awesome and the food was awesome too. Many thanks to Suneth, Hirudima, Irfan, Eric, Poorna (head chef), Anusha, Bandara, Radha and Rasangika. Thank you for a fantastic stay, much appreciated. This place is highly recommended. We (Anupama, Keshanka, Keshani and I) wish the entire team at The Heritage Hotel Galle Fort the very best!

    (Translated by Google) A truly beautiful hotel with flair and excellent service ❤️ I had a super good night here at Heritage! It is the only place where I am now in Sri Lanka with 5.12. saw a Christmas tree and it is only this alley in front of the hotel decorated for Christmas in Galle and illuminated. What creates a very special flair and makes you feel much more at home. *. * A night walk through Galle is a must! I loved this place with the European flair in the alleys. The staff at the hotel is super helpful and made my stay one of my best stays in Sri Lanka with a bottle of wine in front of the Christmas tree and good conversations with the locals, vegan breakfast, roti and mint lemonade and hot shower! Too bad that I found out about the spa & massage offer too late. I will be happy to come back on my next visit! :) (Original) A truly beautiful hotel with flair and excellent service ❤️ Ich hatte eine super gute Nacht hier im Heritage! Es ist der einzige Platz wo ich jetzt in Sri Lanka mit 5.12. einen Weihnachtsbaum sah und es ist auch nur diese Gasse vor dem Hotel weihnachtlich dekoriert in Galle und beleuchtet. Was ein ganz besonderes Flair ausmacht und man sich gleich viel mehr wie zuhause fühlt. *.* Ein Nachtspaziergang durch Galle ist ein Muss! Ich liebte diesen Ort mit dem europäischen Flair in den Gassen. Das Personal im Hotel ist super hilfsbereit und machte meinen Aufenthalt mit einer Flasche Wein vorm Weihnachtsbaum und guten Gesprächen mit den locals, veganem Frühstück, Roti und Mint-Limonade und heißer Dusche zu einem meiner besten Aufenthalte in Sri Lanka! Zu schade, dass ich zu spät von dem Spa & Massageangebot erfahren habe. Komme gerne wieder zurück bei meinem nächsten Besuch! :)

  • 1/5 wafa d. 5 years ago on Google
    It was the worst stay in Sri Lanka, we spent there our last day. Room smelled camphor, ants on the beds, and poor breakfast. I’m just wondering how could it be 5 stars Hotel? Srilankan guest houses were more welcoming and the staff were more friendly , they always try to satisfy you .

  • 4/5 Brian D. 4 years ago on Google
    good, rather fancy hotel with room for 88$/night, clean, good trained staff, all in all, you get what u pay for, but beware, the normal rooms (deluxe double bedrooms) don't have a bathtub but a shower
