Exceptional Dining Experience

The food at Fort Bazaar was an absolute delight. I enjoyed dinner in the small restaurant, and it was nothing short of delicious. Each breakfast was incredibly generous, making it hard to resist indulging in all the options available. The highlight was the customized lunch prepared by the head chef when I expressed my desire for more local cuisine. Absolutely unforgettable!

Relaxing Spa Experience

I had a fantastic experience at the spa, where I indulged in a deep tissue massage. The therapist was highly skilled and gave one of the best massages I've had in a long time. It was the perfect way to unwind after a day of exploring the city, and I left feeling rejuvenated and relaxed.

The hotel is located in the heart of the fort area, which is ideal for exploring Galle's attractions and offers a relaxing retreat away from the busy streets. The rooms are spacious, modern, and immaculately clean, with a luxurious four-poster bed being a standout feature. The service was exceptionally attentive, with cool towels and fruit juice upon arrival and a room ready within 30 minutes. The dining experience was described as exceptional, especially the eggs Benedict, making it a culinary highlight. However, the transportation service to the hotel was not comfortable for the price paid.
