Great location in Galle Fort close to the sea and rampart walls and a short walk to the lighthouse. Lots of nice places to eat on the doorstep, including their own restaurant which was very nice. Our room was good value for money. Clean and comfortable with A/C and a fan, and some swinging chairs on the balcony directly outside, perfect to read a book with nice views. In the evening the place is lit up with fairly lights which is very cute!
