It’s amazing place walking distance to beach. Clean & great atmosphere! ❤️
None
It’s in a very convenient location and the rooms are very clean and comfortable. The staff is very efficient and we enjoyed our stay in there
מיקום, חדר נוח ונקי
The staff were great! They were kind, helpful and pleasant. Thank you Piyumi & team for a comfortable stay.
Breakfast had limited selection though large portions. Would have been great if there were basic toiletries provided.
Loved this little boutique hotel , friendly hospitality and great SriLankan food it was very tasty The place is in centre location so we can shop nearby and visit fort and chill at a restaurant Enjoying cafe hopping at evening. Great location to go around nearby places Walking around at evening was the best
Nothing at all everything was great 👍
Super Lage Super freundliches Personal
Das Wasser in der Dusche ist nicht abgelaufen, sodass es eine Überschwemmung im Badezimmer gab
Sono stati cordiali, dovevamo andare via alle 4 di mattina per il safari e loro si sono svegliati di proposito per farci la colazione take away
De locatie is geweldig, midden in Galle Fort. Het gebouw is historisch. Op de dag van ons vertrek kregen we na check out nog uitgebreid de mogelijkheid om ons op te frissen voor vertrek naar NL. Zeer attent.
De badkamer functioneert maar is nogal basic.
Pleasant 1 night stay in Arches Fort. Lady at reception was extremely friendly. Room was perfect and very clean. Super location!
Mooi gebouw en top lokatie
Ontbijt viel tegen in vergelijking met andere hotels en het personeel leek wat ongetraind en minder behulpzaam.
Breakfast was amazing Chef ruwan, took extra care, Mrs piyumi, manager, always happy to. Help, highly recommend
場所がよく、レストランの食事が美味しい。
エアコンが効かず、終始、暑い。狭いので圧迫感がある。
Friendly staff ,homely enviorenment,good food and exceptional service.
What I loved most about Arches Fort was the peaceful atmosphere. Even though it’s in the heart of Galle Fort, it feels calm and quiet. The budget double room was surprisingly spacious and comfortable, and I appreciated having tea and coffee facilities in the room. The breakfast was delicious with plenty of options, and the staff were incredibly warm and welcoming. A special thanks to Piyumi, who was so kind, supportive, and made our stay even more enjoyable. The location is perfect for exploring the fort on foot, making it a great place to stay.
Nothing. All good
Gezellig ingericht in een prachtig gebouw op een super locatie. Het personeel was zeer vriendelijk. We wilde wat kleding gewassen hebben en dit konden ze voor ons laten doen, dat was zeer prettig.
Such lovely staff and the breakfast was amazing :)
It was inside the fort
Too expensive relative to other places in Srilanka
Great place, calm, good food, great location. Great staff.
Bathroom shower floor needs a squeezy to dry the floor with. Must be provided.
Good value for the money!
The sheets were a little dirty..
Muy buena ubicación, desayuno completo, limpieza muy correcta, edificio tipo colonial. Personal muy atento.
Si podéis escoger mejor estándar de luxe, la normal era muy pequeña. Hicimos cambio sin problemas pagando la diferencia
The Hospitality was good, very polite staff and location was fantastic it's inside the fort and surrounded by cute streets.
They do not have lift as it's an 300yrs old heritage property, so if you have elderly people with you then ask a ground floor room.
Great location and nice bedroom. I especially liked the quiet aircon and fan which made sleeping easy.
Breakfast could be better.
Beautiful historic building in the heart of Galle Fort
The property was excellent - nothing we didn’t like
die Lage
Ich kann nichts sagen
A great location in the fort but still quiet. I stayed in the courtyard part and it looked like the bathroom has been updated, it was clean and modern. The room was clean with great air-con. I was by myself so enough room, space might be right for 2 people. Lovely breakfast.
Staying in the courtyard did mean the WiFi stopped working when the doors to the main hotel got closed at night but this was nearly 11pm. Some kitchen noise the next morning from 6am. Neither of these were a huge issue and I'd certainly stay there again if visiting Galle Fort.
Csodás, 200 éves épület. WiFi gyenge
WiFi gyenge.
Det var centralt läge med gångavstånd till allt
Rummen var trångt och egentligen bara ett enkelt rum som de slängt en dubbel säng i. Det fanns ingen plats till en enda resväska så glöm den andra personens resväska. Strömmen gick ofta och det blev varmt i rummet
Everything was perfect, so clean The staff including the chef is really nice Food was freshly prepared and we were given everything we ordered for breakfast without fail Highly recommend this place

Poor service
Breakfast was lovely, and location was excellent. Staff were great too
Bathrooms were a little tired
Beautiful building in a great location and very comfortable bed. Brilliant breakfast
It was all great
Best breakfast I’ve had in Sri Lanka 🇱🇰 lovely ☺️ great location central to everything. Double Room on ground floor quite small and window overlooking courtyard. Bit noisy from kitchen first thing. Great bathroom and very clean. Had a nice stay, breakfast from 8am so bit later than usual. Kitchen staff so friendly and helpful 🥰
Room a bit small for a double
The Arches Fort was in a fab location within the old city. The building itself was delightful. Traditional and a real experience. The staff were lovely and accommodating - we were upgraded for free which we were grateful for as I was unwell for a day. The breakfast was pleasant and we appreciated that they introduced us to local Sri Lanken breakfast options as well as our western go tos! They were delicious.
The bathroom wasn't great - the shower tray was split and leaked water, and it could have been a little cleaner. It was a little noisy as it is an old traditional property and a little pricey compared to other options and locations.
Centrally located within the Fort, but quiet. Staff were very kind and helpful. Excellent breakfast, both Sri Lankan and western options.
Great place in the middle of Galle Fort for one night stay. The room was clean with a double bed (booked as a single person). Had a kettle with large bottle of water provided as well as tea & coffee. Breakfast included with option of Sri Lankan or western, though it only starts from 8am making it a bit tight for early departures. WiFi provided and worked well. Hot water too.
.
Location in the middle of the Fort but quiet. Very friendly and helpful staff. Great breakfast. I had a medical problem with a family member and they were very helpful. I was in 3 different rooms and they were all a different kind of nice and clean. Will return.
Not a thing.
Superbe localisation chambre propre et personnel agréable!
Great central location inside the Fort. Clean & comfortable room with everything we needed. Very good breakfast. Nice manager in Mr Wasantha. Good value. Would definitely stay again.
No minibar fridge in the room
Amazing location in galle fort. Breakfast of dreams
Die Lage war sehr gut, alles war zu Fuß zu erreichen.
Das Zimmer war nicht wirklich sauber und laut. Man konnte die Gespräche aus der Lobby hören, weil es mehrere Öffnungen gab. Es gab keinen Kühlschrank, ein Safe wurde auf Anforderung herbei getragen. Alle Türen waren verzogen (ok, alt), die Tür zum Badezimmer ließ sich nur mit roher Gewalt schließen, was besonders klasse ist in der Nacht. In der Dusche lief das Wasser nicht ab. Wir waren 3 Nächte dort und hatten 2 mal großes Ungeziefer im Zimmer. Das so angepriesene Frühstück war allenfalls mittelmäßig und alles wurde nur auf Anforderung gebracht. Verglichen mit den 7 anderen Hotels, ist dieses den Preis auf keinen Fall Wert.
Nothing
Felt so uncomfortable and unsafe we did not stay. One staff members asked for a selfie and ogled me. The rooms were full of mosquitos. The shower was an old enclosed fibreglass unit sat on top of an old shower base.
The staff at Arches Fort couldn’t have done more to accommodate us and make our stay as good as possible. We brought some leftover food from a cooking class the previous day and they stored it in the fridge for us and re-heated it for us for our dinner. We also had an early train on our day of departure and they woke up early to make a little breakfast pack for us. They were very helpful and friendly.
Breakfast was great with lots of food.
Nothing
Lovely find in the walls of the city - great location.Perfect for a few nights stay.Friendly helpful staff.Thank you for our bags!
Would have liked room to be cleaned daily.
Great location, very helpful staff and the best breakfast we had on our trip.
Very attentive and helpful staff, beautiful rooms with great air-conditioning. Good location right in the fort area. Great breakfast and good coffee and cake.
No pool
muy buena ubicación
algo de ruido fuera de la habitacion en la noche
Great location, right in the heart of the Galle Fort.
We were in Room 03, where the kitchen is beneath us. There is a fair bit of noise during the late evenings and early mornings from the kitchen and the staff. The shower stall has no place for toiletries. The towels provided were great on day one, but threadbare on day two :(. The rooms look spacious in the images, but they are quite small compared to the images on the site. We had informed the hotel in advance that we were vegans. The very limited breakfast options for vegetarians or vegans remain unchanged throughout our stay. Don't believe that for USD $100 a night, this is a good value :(. We have stayed at several other places in the Galle Fort that offered better value for money.
Fantastic location. Lovely old world charm. We enjoyed the balcony over the street, outside our room. The staff were very friendly and keen to please. Good breakfast.
The new shower cubicles are no match for a proper shower. And the door came off its runners, but that was fixable.
Great location within the walls, a very colonial feel about the property. A choice of either Sri Lankan or western breakfasts, both of which were excellent, the staff and management were very good. We would return.
細かいところに気をつかっているところがよくわかるクオリティーの高いホテルでした。マネージャーである旦那さんがとても親切で、快適な1日を過ごすことができました。
しいてあげれば、朝食が早くても8時からというのが、早く出発する人にとっては不便かもしれないということくらいでしょうか。
We had a lovely stay at Arches Fort. The location couldn't have been more perfect- right in the heart of Galle Fort, mere minutes away from the best restaurants, cafes and viewpoints in town. You can tell that the property has a history and a personality, and it really added to the old- world allure and charm of our stay. The property managers and staff were incredibly friendly and hospitable. The room itself was charming and comfortable. A special mention of the breakfast- we indulged in the Sri Lankan breakfast option during our stay, and loved the egg hoppers, rotis and dhal served up every morning. A great stay overall!
The shower was a tad complicated to use, and the bathroom would emit a strange smell at times. But really minor inconveniences in an otherwise terrific stay.
En el centro del fuerte de Galle en un edificio histórico precioso
La habitación era muy pequeña
Centrally located with restaurant on the patio and inside. There are several,seating areas. Generous Western and Sri Lankan breakfast included. The rooms are all a little different and in different locations and are all very clean. We had a medical emergency and they were very helpful and caring during the hospital stay. The staff and manager are stellar. I will return. .

Great location, right in the middle of the Forte. Breakfast was really good. .
Room was very basic, but acceptable for the price, and there was a broken power point with wires lose.
Amazing breakfast, perfect location in city center. Lovely people
