We loved the building's architecture and sympathetic renovation with historic features. The rooms looked beautiful and were very comfortable. The breakfasts were varied, and we had a la carte service. We didn't stay for dinner. Service was good once you found someone to help they were kind and hospitable. The location was perfect for exploring. History is a good room. Prefects is next to yhe pool which not appeal to some, but it has a freestanding bath.
The pool is great for lengths.
Our request for 2 single beds could not be achieved without adding a extra bed to a double room.

Staying at Fort Printers was a really nice experience. The property is well-designed and spacious. It was my first time staying in a historical building, and it didn’t feel odd or scary at all. The location was perfect for getting around, though if you're staying in the fort, it’s not like there’s a huge area to explore anyway. Highly recommended for anyone who's into design hotels.

態度極差！斷水斷電達兩個小時，無人處理；投訴致攜程，居然回覆攜程説：是全地區斷電。那別的客人怎麼住的？一點不真誠！另外，有三件房不在酒店裡，距離酒店兩百米，在預訂界面居然也無提及和提醒，這個攜程也是有過錯的，誰要住到兩百米外毫無服務的地點，這是酒店也不是airbnb

地理位置十分方便，網紅店就在隔壁，對門有bar，晚上帶孩子小坐一會兒很舒服，酒店沒問題，不過加勒就是可住可不住，個人覺得下次不會住一晚。

街の中にあり最高の立地で、灯台やモスク、ビーチにすぐに出ることが出来る。
家具やアート作品などのセンスがとても素晴らしかった。
パキスタン人オーナーが選んでいるとのこと。花の生け方も素敵だった。
ラウンジにはブリューゲルのカタログなどがあった。
ホテルの従業員のリネンの制服もホテルに合っていた。
プールも大きくはないが、周りの古い黄色い壁とのカラーコントラストが素敵だった。
朝食はコンチネンタルにしたが、ヘルシーでおしゃれで美味しかった。
スイートに泊まったが、猫足のバスタブ。ただし、窓の外は街路なので、窓を開けることができず、
暗かったのが少し残念。

A really wonderful and unique hotel in a perfect location in Galle, a warm welcome, lovely staff who could not do more for you. The rooms were exceptional, we stayed in Headmasters and our daughter’s Geography. The place is full of history, previously a school, a bank, a printers press. The pool area is picture postcard and whilst there are only 2 sun-beds (get in there quick!), it provided a welcome and cool relief from the sweltering heat out in the town. Location is perfect and just a few minutes walk from the fort walls in either direction. Plus right at the intersection of the 2 main shopping streets. 2 nights was a great stay. We didn’t have time to eat in their restaurant/ by the pool for dinner but breakfast was excellent. They also accommodated a 4.30am departure with someone on hand to help with bags and provided a pack up breakfast bag each. Many thanks, super place to stay.

Stayed here recently at the end of our Sri Lanka holiday and would highly recommend. The rooms we booked were well appointed and spacious, although the lack of a head board meant some pillow movement. The pool, while small, was a welcome cool during the heat of the day. The food was excellent at breakfast and dinner. The quality of the cooking at dinner was superb, even if the portions weee not huge. Our stay was only one night - had we known how good it was, we would have booked for longer. Well impressed!

This was our last stop of a 3 week tour of Sri Lanka. We were downstairs in the more modern section. Our room was huge, with a four poster, settee in the lounge area and well equipped bathroom. Room lacks a mini bar, TV ( that was good😉 ) and the internet was a little unreliable which is an issue in today’s world. The meals were amazing, quality, presentation and flavours first class. All the staff were so friendly, helpful and prepared to give tips if requested. The hotel is brilliantly positioned, right in the heart of the Fort area , within easy walking distance of all the main sights. You can eat inside or outdoors and there is a small pool to refresh in. We really enjoyed our stay and it helped complete an amazing holiday.
