The site itself is beautiful and historic, but having Chandana there to welcome me every morning and discuss Sri Lanka really made my stay. Trevor the cat was an added bonus! I will definitely recommend this hotel to my friends.

Delightful elegant hotel
Lovely hotel. Was an old spice warehouse, now a lovely hotel in a heritage building within the equally lovely Galle Fort. Very comfortable bed with mosquito net, air con, overhead fan, no fridge/minibar but staff happy to refrigerate anything you may need kept cold (medications in my case). Extremely helpful staff - happy to help with any request. Fabulous breakfasts in a courtyard garden setting. I loved this hotel - it's gorgeous & has a lovely relaxed vibe. If you want the beach they have a sister property you can visit at beautiful Zazou Bay (would have to be one of the loveliest beaches in Sri Lanka) & use the pool at, free. Heaven!

Check the electricity
The electricity was a problem beyond the hotel's responsibility but had we known about the problem we would not have booked a hotel without a generator because the AC was not dependable. I would also suggest if you book Fortaleza, request a villa not attached to the restaurant--they are lovely and more gracious than the main house. The staff was beyond excellent!

A small boutique hotel with excellent service
We booked a 3 night stay at the Fortaleza. Upon arrival we noticed a small problem with our room. The staff, in particular the manager Ethan, went out of their way to try and solve the issue. Ultimately, we ended up moving to a sister property nearby. To our surprise we were upgraded. We were very impressed with the recognition of the issue and the speedy resolution which showed true professionalism and service. The Fortaleza itself is a lovely property centrally located inside the fort with a great courtyard restaurant/bar which should be visited in its own right. We would go back and definitely recommend to our friends.
