The attention to detail, guest comfort and service was outstanding. I cannot rate highly enough this gem within Galle Fort. The property was beautifully presented- a very special place. I would encourage anyone hoping for some tranquility and relaxtion within the Fort to stay here. Thanks again- I hope to return one day!
