Top National Maritime Museum Hotel Reviews

32 Middle Street

10/10 Excellent

"Absolutely amazing place, particularly if you get lucky and have the place to yourself..a private villa in paradise. Can't write a review without the highest of praise for Nirmal and Erandaka too. Absolute legends. Breakfasts are ace"

The Dutch Bungalow

10/10 Excellent

"While the amenities are limited, it's also not the type of place where you go to steal all of the mini shampoos. The Dutch Bungalow was the one place we stayed at the longest in Sri Lanka - 4 nights on a 3 week trip. It was also our favorite place to stay. Even thought we stayed at many places with a breakfast buffet, this was my favorite breakfast of all. Such an intimate and friendly setting and a superb location. We were able to explore the Fort area over the 4 days to the point that we knew where most things were and felt to comfortable looking everywhere. In the morning, I went out at sunrise and walked the walls of Galle Fort and saw everything waking up and starting. Each day was special and revealed something special about SL. The staff were outstanding and very friendly and helpful with anything and everything. We were sad to leave to move on to a large hotel where we were attending a large event. This was our happy place in Sri Lanka!"

Fort Bliss

10/10 Excellent

"We had a great experience at Fort Bliss. The front desk officer Imran was friendly and gave us a welcome drink. The room was comfortable and the bathroom was also nice. The Wi-Fi was uninterrupted. Breakfast was scrumptious and prepared with care from Chef Sunil. It was the best decision to choose Fort Bliss Hotel."

The Fort House

10/10 Excellent

"Great location inside the fort walls, so close to shopping, dining and historic sites. Staff very so nice and helpful, and the breakfasts, which were different every day and were freshly made local food, are probably the best breakfasts we've had in any country when travelling overseas. Beautifully restored building with tasteful period style decor. Good a/c plus a ceiling fan"

Le Grand Galle

10/10 Excellent

"Great, quiet location. Good place to relax."

Taru Villas Rampart Street - Galle Fort

10/10 Excellent

"This is a Beautiful old Villa right in the heart of Galle Fort. Room was amazing very generous in size and beautifully styled in colonial manner, huge balcony and excellent bathroom leading off the balcony all 100% private we loved it ! A beautiful small pool which I enjoyed a lot. Full service for fools and beverage should it be required. Breakfast was a real treat served in the dining area overlooking the garden and pool. Staff were 1st rate and helped make the stay special. I will be back !"

Cara Galle Fort

10/10 Excellent

"This place is a gem. The location is PERFECT, beautiful shops and restaurants right on your doorstep and close to the fort. Its in a lovely historic building with the most beautiful woodwork and interior. We had the family room which had two large and comfortable beds. The internet works fantastically - I was able to do a zoom call for work with no issues or delays. Lovely kind staff."

Mango House

8/10 Good

"Staff were lovely, the breakfast was exceptional and location perfect. The beds were comfortable. We had a family room so no window to the outside apart from a small window looking over the foyer and the climb to the second bed very steep. Unfortunately there was no hot water and the information provided was that it would not be repaired for several days and applied to the whole property. Staff seemed unconcerned when we complained and a partial refund (about 1/5 of room cost) was provided. Fortunately we had only booked 2 nights but other than hot water it was lovely."

Fort Bazaar

10/10 Excellent

"Very stylish, great location, best food in Sri Lanka"
