8.0 out of 10, Very good, (1)
"Extremely welcoming and generous owners. Nice (not fancy) accommodations, only 3 min walk to beach but more like 15 min to center of very crowded surf zone. Great spot if you're looking for someplace inexpensive and with a kitchen. One downside is the hostel next door plays deep bass music, but seemed to quit by 10pm or so."

10/10 Excellent
"Hotel location in heart of Fort Galle excellent. Staff service, friendliness and willingness to accommodate excellent. Beautiful buildings well restored. Excellent breakfast. I assume they are not 5 star as only provide some of the little extras in room that you would normally expect from like properties eg tissues, body lotion etc but that didn’t bother us! Our bed was a little saggy but that is the only fault we could find. They even gave us a very late checkout at no cost when we offered to pay which was very much appreciated & totally not expected. Highly recommend."
