"We loved our stay at Fort Printers! The property beautifully blends the history of the building with modern touches. We stayed in one of the heritage rooms - the Headmaster’s - which was truly special overlooking the courtyard and frangipani trees. The staff were great, breakfast was excellent, and we had a wonderful lunch by the pool. The bar and restaurant were fantastic, and the small pool was perfect for a refreshing dip. The location is ideal, right in the heart of Galle Fort. We would definitely return - thank you again!"

"We loved our stay at The Fort Printers! It has an elegant, charming feel and blends modern design with the history of an old building really well. However what made it an exceptional stay for us was the customer service and warm and welcoming attitude of the staff. They were kind enough to give us both an early check-in and a late check out (as the next guests were not arriving that day), recommended a local private hospital when I needed to get a repeat prescription (due to the Middle East flight disruption issues), and food was both delicious and served with short waiting times (which doesn’t seem common in Sri Lanka!). The bed was very comfortable, so we slept very well. Nice details like some complimentary non alcoholic drinks in the minibar, free drinking water. Would love to go back!"

"Not a ‘don’t like’ as such, but as is often the case in the tropics especially, there were a few small maintenance issues in our room - some of the plaster in the room needs attention and the bath surface was damaged. Also, although the hotel is very peaceful, expect a little noise as it’s in the heart of Galle Fort, and there are also the sounds of things like birds on the roof. None of which bothered us."

"Fabulous location right in the heart of the Fort. Beautiful old building that retains a huge amount of character. Very good service from staff."

"Nothing."

"Beautiful colonial building, friendly helpful staff."

"Room dark as no natural light."

"Location and service. The building is charming and quirky."

"In parts the hotel was a little tired and could do with more attention to detail. Cracked sink, grubby lampshades etc."

"The location was perfect for us, in the fort walls. The Fort Printers building is historic and you can see the building was converted into a hotel was done sympathetically to the building’s history. Loved the pool in the courtyard, which was long and thin, but great to have a swim and cool off after being out and about in the heat. Really liked all the different little seating areas dotted around too. Breakfast was good and the staff were helpful and friendly. We are in the hotel one evening too and really enjoyed it. The bar staff were great and brought our drinks out to us at the seating outside the front so that we could sit and enjoy watching the world go by. We loved all the different seating areas that we found so there was always somewhere to be able to relax and enjoy something from the tea/coffee/soft drink room that was there."

"It wasn’t possible for us to open the shutters in our windows as they were blocked by seating outside the hotel. This wasn’t a massive issue but we would have liked some natural light. Having said that the room was really lovely and like that there was some seating in an area just outside that no one used apart from us, and we really enjoyed our stay and loved the rooms we had. The other rooms in the hotel had shutters that opened so just the 2 rooms we had along with our friends."

"Absolutely stunning building, amazing piece of history and beautifully restored to blend new and old. Excellent breakfast. Welcoming staff. Truly wonderful."

"Shower took a really long time to get hot. The building is old, so be aware that sound can travel."

"It is in a Dutch colonial building in the centre of Galle Fort Old Town. The room was huge and very comfortable with a really comfortable four-poster bed with net curtains around it. The lighting is sophisticated and the bare highly polished wooden floorboards are really cool. There’s air con and an overhead fan. There’s a room fridge with complimentary soft drinks. They even have a scent diffuser (you can buy essential oils in many of the shops nearby). The staff are so friendly and sweet. The restaurant downstairs is really good with great cocktails and delicious Sri Lanka fusion food. The breakfast is REALLY good… try the eg hoppers though you need to order them the night before."

"I think Galle Fort Old Town has become a bit overrun with tourists. The hotel itself is something of an oasis from this except the bar with live music just across the street… at least that stops at 10pm on the dot every night. There’s a small pool in the garden at the back but it’s a bit too small and the exposed. I didn’t like the idea of going for a dip right next to people sipping their cocktails or nibbling on their lamb koftes."

"Stunning decor - pared-back luxury that honours the heritage of the building and location, combined with intriguing modern art. Gorgeous pool - perfect for a refreshing swim Delicious and inventive menu - breakfasts were a highlight, enjoyed under the shade of a frangipani tree Attentive and helpful staff - who sorted us an early check in when we arrived at dawn"

"Poor Wi-Fi in room. Bed linen and towels could have been better quality."
