The property is very nicely renovated - but the staff really make the experience, Supun and his crew are some of the best hosts I have come across. Strongly recommend.

Guest review

10.0

Thambilli House was just terrific, rooms, staff, open areas, pool and location ideal for a Galle Fort visit. This was our 3rd stay at The Fort and by far the best accommodation so far. Only surprise was that the room did not have a bar fridge, quite unusual from our perspective.

A magical spice merchants home, the perfect stay

10.0

Yes it is as amazing as the pictures suggest. An old spice merchants home and magical! Staff very attentive. Location perfect for the Forte

− Mosquitoes but the whole forte has this issue, lots of repellent keeps them away though. Address is incorrect on the site (is the back way in), 70 Rampart St is the correct one. Sign hard to identify due to a plant.

Very good

8.0

It is a beautiful small hotel right in Galle Fort. The staff were so lovely and helpful and the breakfast was delicious.

− The only issue we had was that we arrived quite late in the evening and had informed the property manager in advance and when we were on the way but when we arrived no one was there so we had to spend the night at another hotel. Bhasu who was there the following day was so great though and we had our room upgraded. Just wished we could have spent that first night there as well!
