Galle Fort Hotel in Galle

We came for the restaurant, looks luxury and beautiful. Choose to sit inside, outside was still a bit hot. Service was excellent, food fresh and tasty. A little bit overpriced. But not too much. Perfect for the dinner or romantic date. But even for the kids is good, pizza was good. I was impressed with the butter, how it was served and smallest bread that I ever saw.

On recommendation from Inoka at Cape Welligama, we went here for lunch. Beautiful place. Apparently rooms are lovely according to a lady I chatted to from the UK staying there. I thoroughly enjoyed my superfood bowl & Bazaar Special cocktail! Great!

This was our fifth stop on our honeymoon, and we chose to stay in Galle Fort a little longer than our other locations. In hindsight I’m still not entirely sure that was the right call for us. There are plenty of quirky little shops and interesting cafés tucked away in the fort’s streets, but you can easily explore the whole area in a day — so the hotel really needed to feel like a sanctuary from the heat, the tuktuks, and the constant bustle.

Fort Bazaar is certainly a nice hotel, but we couldn’t help noticing an “upstairs/downstairs” divide in the rooms. The first-floor rooms looked genuinely luxurious, while the courtyard rooms (where we stayed) felt more pared-back and basic. After being thoroughly spoilt at the previous stops on our honeymoon, it brought us back to earth rather abruptly.

If you’re considering staying here, it might be worth comparing it with their sister property 42 Lighthouse Street, just around the corner. Surprisingly, it’s considerably cheaper, the rooms are far nicer, and you still get access to Fort Bazaar’s restaurant and bar.

All that said, the staff at Fort Bazaar were absolutely lovely, and the hotel’s bar — The Church Street Social — is a brilliant spot to sit, relax, and watch the world go by. Whatever you do, be there at 5pm. They take their happy hour extremely seriously and make it their mission to have everyone suitably merry by 6pm. Special shout-out to Shanta, the superb barman who kept spirits high in every sense.

A pleasant hotel in a great location — just make sure you choose the right room for the experience you want.

We had a great time at fort bazaar. Quality is consistent across the tear drops i have visited. Very well located near all the restaurants and shops on pedlar street. Rooms are really cosy. The whole hotel is really cosy. Lovely pool and spa experience was super relaxing. The food was yummy and plentiful. Couldnt finish portions. The cocktails were lovely and they have a nice happy hour. The staff are so friendly and helpful. We really enjoyed our time and would go again. Take advantage of the offers

The room is large, and the toiletries used in the room are all from the famous local Spa Ceylon. All the staff are very friendly. Breakfast is ordered and tastes good. The hotel is located in the center of the ancient city, which is very convenient for going to the beach or the bell tower. The flowers in the courtyard are beautiful, and we can see the roof of the church from the corridor of our room.

We stayed in the old house. The decoration is very old-fashioned. There are many foreigners. The holiday feeling is romantic. The breakfast is very rich and the service is very thoughtful. But it can't satisfy the Chinese taste. It's all Western breakfast. Before leaving, I also gave a box of tea. The service is perfect.

Very quiet place, the hotel is also very old. Worth staying

Beautiful hotel with excellent service. Dinner menu is spectacular

The environment is very good and worth staying
