50 CHURCH STREET - GALLE FORT

スタッフが大変親切でな対応でした。また、贅沢な空間でゆっくり過ごすことができました。

特にないです。

Architectural gem. Beautifully restored but retaining character. Private oasis and a beautiful retreat from heat and crowds. Great service too

Eine schöne Unterkunft mit viel Platz und ruhig, dennoch mitten im Fort und alles fußläufig zu erreichen. Gemütliches Ambiente mit viel Kunst und viele Aufenthaltsflächen, sogar mit Küche. Wir hatten 2 Nächte das ganze Haus für uns alleine.

Alles bestens.

Amazing interiors, best location, big space

There were no window mosquito nets so we had to sleep with window and doors closed

Very tastefully decorated, great location in the centre of town but still quiet. Very spaceous room, overall really good facilities. We had the whole place to ourselves, very comfortable.

Belle maison bien décorée, bel espace, chambres grandes et confortables. Très bien situé dans le Fort, à proximité des centre d'intérêts. Nous avions réservé 2 chambres, une chambre dans le bâtiment principal (composé de 2 chambres, mais une était déjà occupée), l'idéal est de louer les 2 chambres dans ce bâtiment car on peut utiliser l'ensemble des parties communes, qui est un bel espace. Notre deuxième chambre était dans le bâtiment juste à côté (mais cela n'était pas un problème d'être séparé), qui est un très bel espace sur 2 niveaux, on a une maison entière pour soi, avec une douche à ciel ouvert et un coin cuisine.

Il n'y a pas d'indication pour trouver l'entrée de la maison à l'arrivée, et il faut appeler le numéro pour qu'une personne vienne vous ouvrir, il n'y a pas de personnel sur place. Il n'y a pas de petit déjeuner sur place, mais possibilité d'accéder à une belle cuisine pour se préparer des repas, ou aller dans les restaurants à proximité dans la rue.

This place is a little haven in the middle of the fort. The streets of the fort itself can get busy (because it's beautiful so lots of foreign and local tourists go there) but stepping into this place any noise is just shut out. The reception area is so airy and cool after the heat outside and the rooms are incredible - I have also never seen a bed so big! Really helpful staff and thoughtful set up. We felt really welcome.

Ho apprezzato molto l’autenticità del posto e la cordialità dello staff, sempre disponibile e accogliente.

La pulizia del bagno potrebbe essere migliorata, soprattutto per quanto riguarda i tappetini.

El edificio antiguo está localizado en el fuerte de Galle. La habitación es cómoda y limpia. El personal es muy atento.

La struttura é una casa coloniale storica del tutto ristrutturata e ben arredata. La nostra camera era spaziosa e molto confortevole. Consigliata per la sua ottima posizione all’interno del forte e per la sua vicinanza ai tanti localini dove cenare.

La struttura non offre la colazione e non c’è nemmeno possibilità di farla in struttura pagando. Tuttavia, appena fuori dalla residenza ci sono dei fantastici café.

What a delightful space. Modern renovations in a historical building makes for a relaxed and comfortable stay. Everything close by and our host was thoughtful and flexible. We would definitely stay here again and recommend to our friends

The old Dutch architecture was a real highlight. Everything was thought about to make for a very comfortable stay and the location was perfect. Right in the hustle and bustle but still quite at night. The staff were super accommodating of our late flight, allowing us to use the facilities well after normal check out time. I highly recommend.

I liked the isolation The location The ambience The art The complimentary coffee and tea and water

- it was not clean - overpriced - not worth the money - no breakfast

Beautiful, characterful and tastefully decorated. Lovely art-filled spaces at ground floor level with well-appointed rooms above. Nabil could not have been more helpful, assisting us whenever needed. Our room was spacious and very comfortable. The house is in a perfect location, at the heart of the Fort, ideally situated to explore the many shops and restaurants within Galle Fort. A lovely stay.

It's 2 rooms in a sprawling house with kitchen downstairs. Good for a group of 4 where you have whole property to yourself. Location inside the fort is nice - though no sea view. Nice and clean.

Staff stays periodically and never at night - so you are on your own in a old but nicely decorated heritage like property. Had to get telephone number of staff from restaurant nearby to open the door on arrival.

Central location. Quiet, and great air conditioner in room kept my stay cool. Clean rooms, good facilities for make own food.

It would be nice to be served breakfast.

The bedroom was comfortable-lovely bed linen .and towels Clean bathroom and hot shower The house was filled with great art work and traditional features .

It was noisy throughout the day/evening with crows. Bird noises woke us up very early Although there was tea/coffee making facilities there were 2parts to the kitchen.To access the bins the other kitchen area was filthy -lizard in cupboard /ants nests dead spider etc There was an unusuable cooker etc which should have been removed. We left out a wrapped cake which we found half eaten on the floor.As there was open air access to the kitchen whilst it might be novel to have birds /monkeys/ chipmunks around it’s not very hygienic. However what upset us most was that the owner had come in and filled the bottom freezer with unwrapped chicken which made the whole fridge and what we had inside smell badly . It is not clear on the website what this really is A 2 bedroomed house which if both bedrooms were occupied offered little privacy in the communal area. The owner was rather aggressive and dismissive when I said I didn’t think it was acceptable to have loose chicken in the freezer whilst we were still there . Compared to the many other places we have stayed at it was disappointing and overpriced.

We loved this property, it’s spacious and quiet, in the middle of Galle Fort and close to everything including plenty of cafes and restaurants. The furnishings and architecture design are very impressive. We were woken every morning by peacocks and birds. We never actually saw anyone over the 2 nights, we were given keys and left to ourselves! Thank you

A peaceful, private, spacious & very tastefully decorated respite from the streets of Galle. We loved staying here - excellent location- you step out and you’re in the fort town and close to everything, but inside you’re enjoying beautifully decorated lounging space and a really nice room which was spacious, air-conditioned & immaculately clean and tidy. Great stay!

Such a lovely stylish residence and the room was quiet and comfortable.

Gorgeous spacious old building with beautiful decor

A most stylish property full of ambience. It couldn’t be in a better location as it is in the heart of the Old Fort.Bedroom was spacious and bed so comfortable. So loved this place!

Fantastic, roomy accomodation with use after large relaxation areas, clean, comfortable and excellent location.

The location was amazing. We were only in Galle for one night so wanted to make the most out of our time there. The location was right in the middle of the fort with restaurants, shops, museums and the beach right on your doorstep. It meant we could maximize our time and see as much as possible. The design of the accommodation felt really contemporary and artistic. It was spacious and clean. Very good value for a short stay in Galle ☺️

The property takes you back in history. It’s an original property with a beautiful, spacious main level with lots of places to hang out and relax. The rooms are large with great big beds and lots of space, and great air conditioning.

The old home shows signs of disrepair and needs some work to restore it to grander days. But for the great cost it’s easy to overlook these small things. The other thing to be aware of it’s that the wifi is pretty awful and at many popular times like mid morning and evening it’s not usable at all. But after a month in Sri Lanka this seems to be the norm as their infrastructure just can’t support the demand. If Internet is important to you, then make sure you have a good cell 5G plan because you’ll need it!

This hotel is ideally located in the center of Galle, just 2 minutes from the Fort bastions. The spacious common area is really huge. It is beautifully designed, perfect for relaxing or working. Rooms are comfortable, with cozy beds and a thoughtful layout. Special thanks to the host, Nabeel, for his warm hospitality and helpfulness. A fantastic stay in a prime location—highly recommend!

Beautiful and original accommodation in the absolute heart of the Galle Fort area. We loved the aesthetic of the property. It felt very special to stay here. The bed is incredibly comfortable with good linen and pillows. Always a plus! The day bed under the window is a lovely spot to sit. Great shower. We really enjoyed seeing the black faced monkeys jumping around the trees!!! Nabile was very helpful and lovely to deal with. We would definitely recommend this property.

Full point on location and interior design. The place is very private as it has only 2 rooms.

Wifi in the room is a bit slow. To check-in, I would suggest message or call the property in advance. In case of electricity downs, a room flash light cannot be used as it runs out of battery.

Beautiful restored interior with lots of space

Nothing

Warm welcome. Great position and a stunning house. A truly lovely space. We were the only guests for two nights so had the place to ourselves . We absolutely appreciated the quiet and space. Happy not to have staff on site and no issues for us. Having access to a kettle and fridge was ideal for us.

A bit dusty under the bed.

Excellent location right in the middle of galle Fort but still really quiet because the bedrooms are set back. Beautiful old stone house and very clean. Huge comfy bed.

Great location and authentic interior and furnishings. Staff were efficient and helpful.

We stayed in the adjacent apartment which I wasn’t expecting. Bedroom is in a loft with very steep staircase and the bathroom needs some love. Looking very tired. I suspect the main accommodation at 50 Church St is in better condition. Mattress and pillows weren’t particularly comfortable but it was still a great affordable option for Galle Fort.

Beautiful property and lots of space. Excellent location.

Nothing

Beautiful interior and amazing location and very helpful person on premises.

They should provide a bit of a heavier blanket, the light sheet provides is not cozy enough.

Very centrally located in Galle, it’s a large old colonial house that we had basically to ourselves.

The constant noise. The staff of the property were talking with a family who lives behind the property every day we were there, it seemed like the family were connected with the owners of the property but I’m not 100% sure. At night that family were outrageously loud, children and adults screaming for literal hours. They were also drilling, hammering, sawing and making a range of other construction noises until midnight every night we were there. They were literally hammering on our front door until 11pm on a Saturday night. Had some issues with wifi and our toilet which the staff quickly responded to and helped us with, though toilet issue reoccurred. Far too expensive for what we received

Loved the interior, so aesthetic and neat. It was very clean, which was amazing and beds super comfortable. Such a great location, all restaurants were 5-10 mins walk away. This was my second time there, since I loved it so much. Everything was exceptional.

Beautifully and tastefully decorated and open plan living similar to a Bawa design home with lovely artworks to admire and books to read.

An absolutely fantastic guest house! Everything was perfect. Highly recommended!!

I loved the open design of the house. There is so much to inspire! The room smelled lovely as we entered, staff friendly and helpful. It was a lovely place to come home to after a day of exploring and making tea in the kitchen, many flavours to choose from. A real treat!

Nothing.

We loved everything about the property - it only has two rooms but no one occupied the second room during our entire stay so we had the whole house to ourselves! The room was 11/10 - huge, clean, comfortable and so well-thought out! The common areas were fantastic and filled with great pieces of art and furniture, it felt like we were staying in a slice of history. Shout out to Nabil, who came every morning to clean the common areas and was super friendly and helpful with all our questions. Right in the heart of Galle Fort, the location couldn’t be better even if it tried (it was perfect). If I were ever back in Galle, this would be my pick.

Love the location in the fort.

A unique house , well furnished with antiques and art work. Fantastic location in the heart of Galle Forte close to restaurants and shops. We booked both rooms which were spacious clean and comfortable house , lovely to chat with Nabi (care taker) who was friendly and helpful and dropped in on a few occasions.

Location.

No on site personnel from abt 1400 to 0900 daily..no wifi for abt 12 hours..no proper kitchen facilities ie crockery and cutlery for a common kitchen.no tea or coffee in rooms.lack of lighting.

Excellent care

Unique stay in authentic, beautifully decorated Sri Lankan home of the owner of the Barefoot boutique shops. Only two rooms so it is like staying in your own private villa in the best location, right in the heart of Galle Fort. Seconds from shops and restaurants, yet very quiet and peaceful. Just a few minutes walk to beach and incredible sunsets. Room was nice, with comfortable beds and good A/C. We stayed one night, which we felt was enough for Galle Fort.

It would have been nice to have the option of in-house breakfast, but there was use of a kitchen with tea and coffee.

Great stay with large common areas and just two rooms for guests. Have a Dutch touch to it. Good people.

This quaint house located in the strategic shopping streets of Galle Fort was an excellent place to stay. The 2 bed room house met most of what we needed a spacious , beautifully decorated typical Sri Lankan courtyard house and clean place for us to relax with a glass of wine after a long day of walking and roaming the streets. There were 4 of us therefore the house was just nice for us . The caretaker Nabi was available on whats app as well as manager Azwan and as soon as we arrived there was help with the bags and a tour to familiarise ourselves with the house. We had a few electricity cuts in the afternoon ( the whole street) but it was restored in 10 -15 minutes. Rooms were comfortable and clean. Many shops , restaurants and cafes nearby. Therefore food is not a problem. A supermarket down the road is sufficient for general milk, coffee and bread stock up of staying long term.The house is located just a stones throw away from the Galle Fort where you can walk up to in the evenings after the sun and heat have come down. Travelling around by walking or the numerous tuk tuks that you can stop and ride if you are going somewhere further away. We had a van transport for your family therefore we only used it in the evenings when we went down to the beachside areas of Marissa and Unuwatuna in the evenings for dinner and sight seeing. Eventhough located on a small but busy street the house was peaceful and a nice escape from the normal hotel environment. Breakfast is not provided. Barefoot shop is also located next door to the house for some shopping.

We didn't cook much however would have liked to have a clear stove top / oven/ fridge . The kitchen is stocked with coffee / tea facilities and cutlery and wine glasses for 4 guest, however a bit of the spring clean would make the kitchen a bit more usable. The street is narrow therefore if you have a car parking is tight. Our van driver gave us a 5 minute heads up for pick up at the house entrance.

Central location. Beautiful calm setting. The rooms are offset from the main street which makes them quiet at night. Tea/coffee and access to the kitchen was nice to store things in the fridge.

The Aircon unit is slightly noisy at night when it turns off. But that's a minor point as I'm a light sleeper.

Spacious, quiet and excellent location

Nothing

Excellent location and nice room.

No staff permanently onsite and attitude could be a bit casual.

Clean quiet. Babeel was excellent host. Nothing was too much trouble.

Nothing all great!

The house is right smack in centre of Galle Fort. You will be spoilt for choice for shopping , restaurants , gem shops , banks and money changes , supermarkets ect. Tuk Tuks readily available for a short ride around the areas. However because everywhere is walkable you won't need one. Galle Fort area is just up the road.

Spacious , lovely architecture open concept villa. At nights you can bring the electric shutters down for safety as there is an open courtyard. Otherwise no security issues. Note there are only 2 double rooms in the house therefore when booking both rooms you have the house common areas to yourself. Otherwise you can still use the whole house but you may be sharing the house with the other guest from the other room. The stand alone one studio unit which was under repair is just next door. So check on room arrangements before booking. The entrance of the house is on a narrow street. not much place to park a car or have your driver pick up immediately. The caretaker Nabi was in contact with us and came to check us in and help with our bags up the staircase. Rooms were clean and spacious. Towels and basics like shower wash, shampoo provided and a fridge, kettle - some coffee , tea, creamer in kitchen area. Plates /mugs/cups/wine glasses enough for 4 persons staying. Our only request was that the kitchen areas kept clean as the oven/stove -we could not use due to not being cleaned properly.

The location and the space was beautifully decorated

The bathroom was disgusting as well as the carpets and towels

Our 4 nights in Galle were a great ending to our month in Sri Lanka. The house is lovely, room is roomy and lovely as well. Can't beat the location. Wish we could have stayed longer.

All was great though a bit more absent host than we were used to in rest of trip. But mostly didn't like needing to leave.

The whole look of the place. So thoughtfully done

Nothing

We had the whole place to ourselves, a stunning historic building, very quiet even though it was set on the main. street. Great comfy beds and bedding, lovely clean room and bathroom.

Nothing!

An understated boutique hotel with clean rooms, great aircon and a perfect location.

Two issues to be aware of: first, they don't serve breakfast so you'll need to go out for that; second, they are reluctant to take credit/debit cards for some reason (no idea why). They did allow us to pay by credit card so they will do it. It's a bit like a big air b&b.

I loved our stay here, the house is lovely and right in the centre of Galle fort. Would definitely stay here again

Nothing, all perfect

Centrally located, safe neighborhood, friendly courteous staff, spacious house, comfortable room.

All good.

Do it yourself breakfast. Ability to relax in a beautiful house.

Insufficient crockery.

Very clean, spacious room with nice bathroom. There is only two rooms so its nice and quiet. Big shared area. Perfect location, right in the heart of the old town. Super accommodating staff and great contact with the helpful manager.

In case of this place it would be really hard to come up with any complaint.

It is a fantastic place with great character! Bang on Church Street right next to Pedlars Street. If you have to experience Galle Fort, it's best done when you stay within it. This place ticks all boxes. It just so happened that I was the only guest in this two room large home. Was a lil unnerving on the first night but got used to it on the second & enjoyed every bit of the solitude of having the whole place for myself. The owner is very communicative & helpful & Nabeel the caretaker is supersweet. Already recommended this place to a few of my friends who plan to visit Galle soon. Will gladly stay here again.

Nothing!

We had reserved 2 rooms, but had the entire 'house' at our disposal. The rooms have a high ceiling, offering a great feeling of space. They are comfortable, with modern bathroom. The house is beautifully decorated and an oasis of space and peace, situated in the center of the old city. Price/quality-wise, this was a top location.

Beautiful space and architecture. Its like living in an art gallery with beautiful paintings and furniture everywhere. Location is prime. And Azwaan was an amazing and responsive host.

The kitchen could be a bit better maintained but we didnt really use it.

Excellent location, excellent staff. Azwan was very polite and professional. Initially we were a bit worried that there was no staff at the location during the night, as we were two women travelling on our own. But we had no issues during our stay specially since there were no other guests during our stay. Lovely interior and comfortable beds. Exceptionally clean room and toilet. Will definitely come back with family.

Absolutely no complaints!

Nice room and good location.
