Moi Galle Fort by DBI

Location is great, staff are friendly

Ottima posizione; nonostante la forte pioggia notturna non ci sono stati problemi

Il bagno e le porte sono molto datati e andrebbero sistemati.

Nice room. Nice people

Personal amable. Muy buena ubicacion. Estilo y decoracion

Nada

The location and the kind staff and the air conditioning!

No natural daylight in the room and the cost of breakfast. I know the portions are huge but perhaps as there is no kitchen, offer a smaller option for less money.

If I had to summarize my experience in one sentence: if I ever return to Galle, I would never choose this property again. To be honest, I would describe it more as a guesthouse than a hotel. The biggest advantage of this place is definitely the location. It is situated inside the tourist area of Galle Fort, which is absolutely the best area to stay if you are visiting Galle. Being able to walk around the fort and nearby cafés and attractions is very convenient. The entrance and reception area are combined with a café, and upon arrival we were welcomed with a watermelon juice drink, which was a nice touch. The staff were also polite and helpful throughout our stay. The rooms are located upstairs and there is no elevator, although the staff kindly helped carry our luggage. Unfortunately, things became very disappointing once we reached the room area. The hallway constantly smelled like a mixture of café food and sewage. The rooms themselves were extremely small and very dirty. The floor was so unclean that it actually felt sticky when walking on it. While the bed sheets and pillows appeared relatively clean, I personally ended up using my own pillowcase and sheet for comfort. The bathroom was also in very poor condition and not properly clean. Even worse, there were cockroaches inside. One night, I woke up because my wife screamed after seeing a cockroach in the bathroom. The rooms also have a very small window facing the internal hallway, which is not really useful because you have to keep the curtains closed all the time for privacy. Overall, I absolutely do not recommend this property. I booked it because of its high rating and positive reviews, but I completely regretted the decision. If I return to Galle in the future, I would definitely spend more money for a better hotel that at least meets basic hygiene and cleanliness standar

Great place, very well located, people very kind, I loved it

Location is perfect, the A/C is cold, the bed is comfortable, the bedding is clean, the staff are very friendly and enthusiastic, the room is quiet. I didn’t need anything more. Shop with beauty dresses just opposite the entrance. I’m happy I rented it, as I could just step out of my door and start exploring the area

Too strong smell of cloves (but in 1 night it was gone), lack of hooks or shelves, window opens to the inner yard gallery (but I didn’t feel any problem about that, as I sent all the time outside, so actually only needed a bed to sleep and a shower). The water from shower runs onto the door and then inside the room. But you’re living inside a centuries old fort, for sure it was built with some other space planning approach, it’s amazing it has a private toilet room already. It’s an adventure, really, why bother

- Location was great. - Staff were ok. - Was ok value for money.

Location is great and is a good budget option with a big comfortable bed. The photos are much better than the rooms, which while spacious are very basic and worn and all widows face in to the hallway and not the outside. Extremely loud air conditioning so expect to wear some ear plugs. Hangers or hooks would be useful to hang clothes! Overall we were happy and had a good stay. Lovely staff and bar downstairs.,

A localização é ótima! Dentro do Forte e próximo as principais atrações. Os funcionários são muito solícitos!

Porém, as instalações do quarto coletivo estavam com umidade e tive uma crise alérgica na primeira noite.

I`m really enjoyed our stay at MOI Galle Fort. The place is beautiful and cozy, right in the middle of the fort. The room was clean and comfortable, and the staff were super friendly and helpful. Breakfast was nice, with fresh fruit and good coffee. Would definitely stay again!

Really comfortable and clean. The best price and pleasure personnel.

Everything was OK.

No towels,hot water,spoons to make tea ,I usually don't leave negative reviews, but I believe it's important for the management to be aware of these issues so improvements can be made.

My recent stay at Moi Galle Fort was truly amazing. The hotel's unique blend of colonial architecture made for a memorable experience. The staff were friendly and attentive, and the location within the historic Galle Fort area was another plus point for the hotel. I particularly enjoyed the delicious breakfast they served .Overall, I highly recommend Moi Galle Fort to anyone looking for a memorable vacation in Galle

Everything was just perfect

The location

Great location and clean rooms

Power kept dropping throughout the night

I liked the location but that was about it

I have traveled in South America, Asia and Africa and this is one of the worst hostels I have stayed in. Private rooms might be ok but please note that the “girls dorm” is behind the kitchen in the staff area, there is NO window and it looks more like a storage room than a dormitory. It’s smells strong humidity and impossible to ventilate if you don’t want the fumes from the kitchen in the bedroom. Bathroom so run down too, no window. Staff are loud until the restaurant closes so it was hard to relax. Plus the mattress was old and hollow. I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone. I have paid much less for muuuch better rooms in Sri Lanka this is worth 5$ at its best. It should be forbidden to have guests in a tiny room behind a kitchen with no window!

The people working in this hotel are just amazing. Professional, caring and with lots of good mood. The vibe was relaxed and perfect for a holiday.

מיקום טוב, בבוקר הצוות היה נחמד.

עדכנו מראש שנגיע מאוחר ואישרו לנו מהמלון. בפועל הגענו ולא היה אף אחד לצ'ק אין. נאלצנו להתקשר לאנשים ולחפש מישהו. לבסוף הגיע בחור שנראה שישן. לא היו לנו מגבות ונאמר לנו שרק בבוקר יוכלו להביא לנו.

Leckeres Essen, super tolle Lage, bequemes Bett, saubere Unterkunft, freundliches Personal :)

Great location Very friendly atmosphere, very helpful & courteous staff. Always with a smile I had twin room which was a bit small and the bathroom was very small

Location of the hostel in the heart of the fort was ideal

Hostel bedroom was not great and without window

待客热情。

餐饮供应

Room provide coffee package

10% discount only for breakfast， but no breakfast provided even you would like to pay

I had a wonderful stay at this place! The room was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained throughout my stay. The location is perfect, peaceful and relaxing. The atmosphere of the place made me feel welcome from the very first moment! I would gladly return and highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a pleasant and comfortable stay! <3

Le personnel était super, les chambres étaient spacieuses et propres. Je recommande vivement cette hôtel qui est calme et très bien situé, je reviendrais c'est sûr.

Great location, the price was decent. Just a warning there were a few cockroaches chilling around the toilet sink. It would be better if there were some hooks in the showers so people can hang their stuff.

The location and staff were the best in my whole Sri Lanka trip.

Tolle und saubere Unterkunft mitten in Galle Fort. Super gelegen um sich die Altstadt anzuschauen!:)

Absolutely amazing experience! From the moment we arrived, everything was perfect — warm welcome, great food, stunning views, and spotless rooms. It truly felt like home away from home. We can’t wait to come back!

Beautiful boutique hotel with lovely design and a cozy atmosphere. The staff were super friendly and helpful, and the breakfast was fresh and tasty.

Only small downside — the street can get a bit noisy in the evening, but it didn’t bother us much. Perfect stay overall!

Incredible stay. Great location. Very comfortable. Want to come back to this place!! Definitely recommend.

I really liked the design and atmosphere of the property — it felt cozy and artistic. The location inside Galle Fort is perfect, close to everything. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the room was clean and comfortable.

An sich war alles sehr gut. Die Zimmer waren direkt hinter dem Restaurant.

Ich habe direkt unter der Klima geschlafen was sehr blöde war, da man Nachts nicht ohne schlafen konnte. Es gab keine Fenster da die Räume direkt zum Restaurant grenzten

Dieses Hostel besticht durch seine äußerst zentrale Lage, bietet jedoch überraschenderweise eine angenehme Ruhe. Der erste Eindruck ist fantastisch: Der Eingangsbereich ist sehr geschmackvoll gestaltet, und die ausgestellte Kunst verleiht dem gesamten Ort ein wirklich tolles, einzigartiges Flair. Man verbringt gerne Zeit im Emfpangs-Bereich. Das Personal ist sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend. Der Check-In und Check-Out war super unkompliziert.

Das Zimmer selbst war zweckmäßig, aber hat völlig ausgereicht. Das einzige Fenster ist zum Flur ausgerichtet und ist mit einer Schallusie zu gemacht, weshalb es dunkel ist im Zimmer. Was jedoch unangenehm war, ist ein Geruch nach Schimmel. Obwohl keine grosse sichtbaren Spuren zu sehen waren, war der Geruch konstant präsent und machte den Aufenthalt im Zimmer weniger angenehm. Man musste die AC anlassen dan ging es. Vermutlich hatte das Zimmer mal in der Vergangenheit Probleme mit Schimmel. Und ist sicher auch keine untypische Sache in Sri Lanka.

Le staff est d'une grande gentillesse. Le lit en dortoir est confortable. La salle de bain n'est pas très propre. La localisation est top !

Muy buena ubicación, bonito decorado, personal amable.

El baño era pequeño, tenía la ducha junto al retrete y salían bichos del desagüe de la ducha

Incredible staff, so friendly and helpful. I became friend with Niroshan who was adorable ! The location and the common space are very good.

The bathroom in the ladies' dorm needs to be refreshed. There are no facilities such as lamp, socket or even a little space to put your stuff next to the bed. The ladder to get up the bunkbed is awful. For that price I was expecting better facilities.

Wow! Auf den Fotos kommt dieser Flair und Charme dieser Unterkunft leider gar nicht zur Geltung. Ein super super schönes, sauberes, stylisches Hotel in mitten dieser traumhaften Altstadt in Galle. Wir wären gerne noch länger geblieben. Die Hotelbesitzerin konnte sogar deutsch sprechen. Essen auch einfach super! Gerne wieder

J'ai adoré cette auberge, standing luxueux pour le prix. Confort, propreté, wifi, personnel, localisation, communication, personnes rencontrées: tout était parfait! Je reviendrai!

Rien

房子在古城内位置很好 非常适合citywalk 离海边也很近方便看日出 工作人员都很热情贴心 一楼是酒吧但不吵

淋浴水流有点小

A nice rustic bar with lovely staff I ordered a beer and a watermelon daiquiri which was made from fresh watermelon and was really refreshing Highly recommend and will be visiting again before flying home on Thursday

Limpio, en el centro y con todo los necesarios.

Sería guay tener el desayuno incluido.

Location was superb. Heart of the action in the fort.

No food option

Perfect location! Staff were really kind

It was lovely, bathroom a bit dated but fully functional

De locatie was goed, midden in het centrum van het fort. Inrichting van de bar was leuk.

De douche en wc waren verouderd en zagen er vies uit. Zal vast meevallen, maar overal vochtplekken en schimmel. Geen gordijntjes langs de bedden, dat was jammer.

We were only travelling through Galle and visited the hostel shortly. They kindly allowed us to leave our luggage with them while we were exploring Galle Fort. Tashmi and her team were extremely friendly and even prepared a welcome drink for us. The hostel looks really neat and cozy with a chill atmosphere, so I can definitely recommend visiting it!

I had a wonderful stay at Moi Galle Fort! The room was exceptionally clean and well-maintained, making it a very comfortable experience from the moment I arrived. A special thank you to the lady manager, who was incredibly kind and welcoming—she made sure everything was perfect throughout my stay. All the staff members were extremely helpful and friendly, always ready to assist with a smile. The location is fantastic, right in the heart of Galle Fort, making it easy to explore the surrounding area on foot. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for comfort, convenience, and warm hospitality.

This place is very affordable, and worth the price you pay, the staff is very polite and helpful all times and the atmosphere gives you a very calm and peaceful stay throughout, the rooms are soo clean and tidy and would come again, the best place that you can find in galle fort. ❤️

The vibe The location And specially the staff

Absolutely exceptional location - right in the heart of Galle Fort. The accommodation has a modern, well-thought out interior with artistic design and decor, the rooms are clean, comfortable and have good air conditioning and provide multiple power socket options, with good WiFi. Mention too must go to the staff who were friendly, provided impeccable service (and a great breakfast!). Simply no greater value for money for the standard, service, staff and location.

N/A

As a solo female traveler, I couldn’t have picked a better place than Moi Galle Fort. From the moment I arrived, I felt not just welcomed but truly seen. The team here is genuinely kind, warm, and always ready with a smile. They went above and beyond to make sure I had everything I needed (and more!) during my stay. What really stood out was how thoughtful and attentive everyone was from offering perfect, tailor-made drinks after a hot afternoon stroll, to giving me the most authentic local tips on where to eat, what to do, and how to experience Galle like a local. I never once felt alone or unsure of where to go. A special shoutout to the team for generously inviting me to their nearby beachside properties just 20 minutes away. I was offered free pool access and joined their gorgeous sundown sessions by the beach and wow, the vibes were incredible. It felt like stepping into a little community of like-minded travelers, music, laughter, and golden hour magic. Moi Galle Fort isn't just a place to sleep it's a place to feel. The rustic charm, the energy, the people it all came together to make my trip unforgettable.

I didn't want to leave so soon :( . I can’t wait to return, and next time, I’m bringing my friends. 💛

A very cool arty space with a great bar/seating area. The dorm room was nice and comfortable. The staff there were great - I had an injury and they were so helpful and went to the pharmacy for me. Great location in Galle close to amazing restaurants.

Very comfy Hostel in the centrum of Galle. The staff Members are very friendly. I would definitely recommend staying here :)

Its a very attractive and very calm quiet place. I went to relax with my family it was very awesome. Helpful staff and very supportive.

We had a Superb experience at Moi galle fort🫶 Situated in middle of the fort. Convenient place for everything..Everything was perfect ❤️ Cleanliness, hospitality, food , environment everything on point ❤️‍🩹🌊 staff was super supportive🩷🌊Hope to come again soon..

Is the best hotel in galle

Location only. No anything than that. No parking bdw.

Everything except the location.

Moi is perfectly placed in the middle of the shopping action in Galle Fort. The room was beautiful and spacious with high ceilings and light. It also had great AC!

No mosquito net!

Great location, easy walk past cricket ground from Galle rail station. (Good for the Aussie V Sri Lanka games).😄Young staff friendly, helpful.. Bed sheets clean.

The shared bathroom, toilets were not good. .Water flooded the bathroom floor which was old and needs updating, modernising. The drainage pipes need to be fixed. 2nd toilet at back on ground floor also needs modernising.. As the street frontage, cafe look very good it was disapoointing re the room, bath facilitiies. Expensive in $US for what room, poor bath facilities delivered.

Like the vibe at Galle Fort perfect location and nice and charming room arrangements

Nothing so far

Very good placement in the heart of Galle. Don’t expect luxury. You get a small cosy rustic room for a reasonable price. Okay breakfast local style. They don’t have a generator for black outs, which I respect as they are noisy and polluting. Apart from black outs, I was missing electricity in my room for several hours.

The hotel is in the perfect location in the centre of all main sights, bars and restaurants. Staff were friendly and we had a smooth check out at 2am for our safari trip.

The rooms are very basic, the shower pressure was pretty poor and the tap in our bathroom did not work. Air con was also very noisy.

Exceptional value hotel in Galle's beautiful old town. Clean, comfortable rooms and fantastic decor. The restaurant serves excellent breakfast. And the real highlight is sitting on the front porch to have a drink and watch Galle walk by.

That’ it’s so close to everywhere inside fort

Bathrooms didn’t seem clean

Only location is good

Every thing is bad , dirty hotel , uncomfortable bed and toilet, service is really bad , I arrived at 15;30 pm and the room wasn’t ready yet , no towels in the rooms no Tissues at 22:00 pm no one can assist you because there’s no staff available, overall it’s trash don’t stay here .

Breakfast was OK, but staff apparently not used to it (although our price did include it)

The room (very small & odd-shaped) was barely furnished: no bedside table, no table, no drying rack, no hangers...basically nowhere to hang your clothes, or dry your towel. I even had to ask for a bath mat, as it was very dangerous to venture into the tiled bedroom with wet feet from the shower (itself on top of the sink!)

We arrived at the location only to be told we were staying at 'sister hotel' due to facility issues. However we really liked the new location around the corner in the Galle Fort and had all the old world charms with comfortable rooms and bathrooms. The hotel had helpful host and is perfect location for exploring the Fort and the shops and restaurants. Breakfast was excellent.

Arriving and then being moved to another location - this should have been communicated.

The breakfast was good, even though the bread which was on the Menü wasn’t available during our stay. The location was good and the deco was pleasant. The bed was good.

The air con was noisy. It leaked onto the corridor outside which made walking on the tiles very dangerous. The rooms were dark, like cell and the only window facing out to an outside corridor and was covered with a blind, that didn’t work. It could be improved if there was a bit of love and tender care on the outside area, what with nice plants etc.and one could open the blinds during the day The room was not very clean.
