Elegant Cocktails in a Historic Setting

8.0

A former printing house beautifully converted into a hotel, retaining its old-world grandeur and elegance. The courtyard is particularly impressive, and the entire place has a refined, timeless feel. We stopped by for after‑dinner drinks and were very well looked after. The staff were friendly, and the cocktails were excellent. Sitting on the terrace with a drink, watching the crowd pass by outside, is a wonderful way to end the evening. Fully recommended — elegant without being stuffy.

Lovely place to stay

10.0

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Fort Printers. The hotel had a nice relaxing vibe about it and the rooms we had were very spacious. It was a great base to use whilst exploring Galle. Me and my family would like to thank the staff at the hotel for dealing with a health situation that arose whilst we stayed there. They expressed genuine concern and were very accommodating in resolving a difficult situation. The food was very good and the staff were exceptional. The cleaning staff worked seamlessly and your room would be made up whilst you were down at breakfast! I would highly recommend this place to anyone thinking of visiting the area.

Beautiful hotel in the heart of galle

10.0

Fantastic stay in the most beautiful building , steeped in history. The lovey lady on concierge explained it all too us , how it had been a school and then a printers . The service was excellent. Breakfast was truly wonderful and beautifully presented. We stayed in the geography room which was so lovely . I'm resuming it's a listed building so no double glazing so can be a little noisy but it didn't bother us at all .

Everything was great, except the internet was slow. The food was delicious. Thank you, Chef.

Everything is good, except for the internet speed. I hope they can improve it and provide faster internet, since most visitors these days rely on it while traveling. The food is really good. We liked everything there. Thank you, Chef.
