    Fort Bazaar is perfectly located in the heart of Galle Fort. The rooms are spacious and stylish. The open, airy layout of the hotel is great and relaxing, especially also spacious pool area. The restaurant serves high-quality food with a great mix of local and international dishes.

    This hotel is truly exceptional!! We were upgraded on arrival to an amazing suite. The facilities, service, staff and food were amazing with every detail covered. We had booked for bed and breakfast and we also received complimentary afternoon tea and free drinks at happy hour. There was also a complimentary guided walk around Galle Fort which was so interesting.

    Comfortable rooms, perhaps a little dark as they give onto an internal courtyard, but beautifully decorated. The pool is beautiful and the food is very good. The hotel location is perfect and they organise a guided tour in the morning which is excellent. The massages are very good too.

    Everything was perfect for 4 whole nights, from the breakfast, happy hour and dinner to the design, turn down service and bathrooms. The pool was wonderful to lounge around and fully enjoy the beautiful weather, and the hotel is in a perfect location to explore Galle Fort. Truly incredible service came from the general manager, Thuan, who helped us with something personal which really meant the world to us, but we had great service from everyone for our entire stay. Thank you Fort Bazaar, we will be back!

    Perfect historical hotel in the old town of Galle. Everything is within walking distance.

    The hotel opend its door mid December 24 after undergoing some renovation. The hotel is not big and the restaurant inside has a small capacity for about 30 people. So it can be loud, if there is a group of people in the restaurant and not just couples or families with their children. But you have always the choice to seat outside, under the veranda.

    we had a suite on top of the hotel with a big balcony and a good view on the street life. The room was big enough so we had a living corner with a couch and a saloon table. The bathroom was equiped with a shower and a bad tube. Very special was the "champagne botton", where you could order a glass of champagne from the room.

    Absolutely nothing

    This place is seamless and standards are absolutely as expected from a property of this calibre. The rooms and common areas are immaculate and put together beautifully. Thoughtful details such as complimentary afternoon tea, happy hour in the bar and a la carte breakfast makes this place a cut above. The pool area is a tasteful, calm and immaculate oasis in the middle of the bustling fort. Staff are top notch, fluent English speakers and aware of the customer service needs of their clientele. The property itself is stunning and carefully restored with original features throughout in keeping with the heritage regulations of the fort. There is also a free guided tour/heritage walk of the fort with an expert archaeologist who has worked with planning permissions and renovating many of the buildings in recent years. It was a pleasure speaking with him and learning more about the unesco site. Sugath the head chef came to speak with me personally when I requested more local Sri Lankan cuisine and made me an exquisite bespoke lunch which was the absolute highlight of my trip. Avi and Lihini also went above and beyond to ensure we had our comforts met. Thank you all! We very much look forward to returning here on our next visit to Sri Lanka.

    Hands down my favourite hotel in Sri Lanka. My experience at the hotel was so good that I changed my plans and stayed here twice during my trip. The staff are so kind and helpful. Shout out to the chef, who treaded me to a special vegetarian Sri Lankan meal on my last night. The rooms are great, from the free mini bar to the super comfy bed. The new pool was big enough for me to have a proper swim to exercise, and there’s lots of spaces to relax, both indoors and out. If ever I come back to Sri Lanka, staying here will be top of the list.
