We stayed at the Fort Printers in Galle for just one night but left wishing we had stayed longer. This was by far the most beautiful of the hotels we stayed in our trip in terms of the interior decor, quality of fittings and fixtures and general relaxation factor. We choose a deluxe room for slightly more and had a... More

Splendid service in a sensitively-restored building in the heart of Galle Fort. We were only able to stay one night but it was a brilliant experience. We were first given the Prefect’s Room overlooking the pool, but when the aircon broke and the maintenance team couldn’t fix it immediately we were whisked away with profuse apologies to the gorgeous, light-filled...

We arrived at Fort Printers, having driven from near Yala National Park. Hot and humid the plunge pool was most welcome to cool off in. In a shady patch at the back of the hotel it was perfect to just chill after our long drive. Luckily we were the only ones taking advantage of it which was probably a good... More

We decided to spend a bit more money on our last night in Sri Lanka and boy was it worth it! The room we stayed in "Arts" was stunning. The copper shower and high ceilings sold me straight away. The hosts welcomed us and made us feel right at home. They even allowed us a late checkout due to a... More

We stayed at The Fort Printers on our last night in Sri Lanka at the end of a week-long holiday. The welcome we received from Wojtek and Justina, the recently-arrived managers, was so warm and genuine that we felt immediately at home. We stayed in the Headmaster's Suite which has an anteroom with separate toilet and copper-lined shower stall and... More

Cosy ... Comfortable and takes you back in time .. Amazing location and excellent food ... Our room was in the new wing, across the road but it honestly didn't matter, we still loved every bit of it. Planning my next visit already ... that's how much i loved it.

The location of this hotel is very good, being right in the centre of the old town. Our suite was called The 'Headmaster's Room". There was an entrance room with attached bathroom and toilet. This room also had a fridge and jug. Through a door was the bed and sitting room. This seemed to be an enclosed verandah and was... More

We stayed here on our honeymoon in December 2011, in the enormous "Headmaster Suite". I loved the soaring ceilings and unique aesthetic of this boutique hotel. The lobby and rooms all look amazing. The location inside the fort is very convenient – the only drawback is you get woken up at 4am by the muezzin's call to prayer blasting over... More

The public areas and our room were very pleasant, but the bathroom had a plumbing problem and smelled a bit. I had the same problem with the safe as the other reviewers had, and gave up -- they need a simpler system and they should put the safe in a more practical location. The staff were fine, but not exactly... More
