    colonial hotel
    dilapidated washroom
    stale odors

    historical architecture, lovely colonial atmosphere, good shower pressure

    The room could use fresh paint for better aesthetics!!! A functional washroom would also enhance the experience. Musty smells in rooms should be addressed to avoid discomfort!!!

    limited space

    I had an unforgettable stay at Arches Fort! The location was absolutely perfect, providing easy access to the nearby sights and delightful cafes. The staff were genuinely warm and went above and beyond to make my stay comfortable. Breakfast was exceptional, with delicious local dishes.

    Room was a tad small.

    great stay with some minor drawbacks

    The location is perfect, providing both tranquility and accessibility. The rooms are impeccably clean, and the huge bed contributed to restful nights. Breakfast was a highlight, featuring authentic homemade dishes that we looked forward to each morning.

    The amenities need a slight upgrade to meet higher standards.

    fantastic location
    mouth-watering dishes
    outdated amenities
    wet bathroom
    minor shower issue

    The stay was marked by a fantastic location, right in the heart of a UNESCO heritage site, making it easy to explore. The room was spacious and well-furnished, although the shower design left something to be desired, as it could easily lead to wet floors. Breakfast was another highlight, featuring mouth-watering dishes that catered to various tastes. However, some amenities felt slightly outdated, and we encountered a minor issue with the shower pressure in our first room.

    comfy bed
    enclosed shower
    great breakfast
    small shower
    needs a minor upgrade

    I stayed in a Deluxe Double Room for one night, and it was pretty great! The shower was enclosed, which made things a lot nicer compared to the budget room. The room was clean and had excellent AC. It was spacious enough to feel comfortable. The bed was super comfy too. It's right in the heart of Galle Old Fort, close to restaurants and shops but still quiet. Breakfast was a highlight with lots of tasty options. Just make sure to let the staff know your breakfast preferences ahead of time!
