We loved the building's architecture and sympathetic renovation with historic features. The rooms looked beautiful and were very comfortable. The breakfasts were varied, and we had a la carte service. We didn't stay for dinner. Service was good once you found someone to help they were kind and hospitable. The location was perfect for exploring. History is a good room. Prefects is next to yhe pool which not appeal to some, but it has a freestanding bath.
The pool is great for lengths.
Our request for 2 single beds could not be achieved without adding a extra bed to a double room.

Staying at Fort Printers was a really nice experience. The property is well-designed and spacious. It was my first time staying in a historical building, and it didn’t feel odd or scary at all. The location was perfect for getting around, though if you're staying in the fort, it’s not like there’s a huge area to explore anyway. Highly recommended for anyone who's into design hotels.

Very bad attitude! The water and electricity were cut off for two hours, and no one dealt with it. I complained to Ctrip, but they replied that it was a power outage in the entire area. How did other guests stay there? Not sincere at all! In addition, there were three rooms that were not in the hotel, but 200 meters away from the hotel. There was no mention or reminder on the booking interface. Ctrip was also at fault. Who would stay in a place 200 meters away with no service? This is a hotel, not Airbnb.

The location is very convenient. The Internet celebrity store is next door and there is a bar opposite the door. It is very comfortable to take the children to sit for a while at night. There is no problem with the hotel, but Galle is a hotel where you can stay or not. I personally don’t think I will stay for one night next time.

It's in a great location in the city, with easy access to the lighthouse, mosque, and beach.
The furniture and artwork were very tasteful.
Apparently the Pakistani owner selected them. The flower arrangements were lovely too.
There was a Bruegel catalogue in the lounge.
The linen uniforms worn by the hotel staff matched the hotel.
The pool isn't large, but the colour contrast with the old yellow walls around it was lovely.
I had a continental breakfast, which was healthy, stylish and delicious.
I stayed in a suite, but there was a claw-foot bathtub. However, the window looked out onto the street, so it couldn't be opened, and it was a bit dark, which was disappointing.

Excellent location, superb staff and service. Loved the old building and small but handy pool to cool off. Excellent rooms and incredible staff. Made our trip to Galle Fort magical. Would recommend.

The fort printers was a fantastic place to stay, can't recommend it enough! The staff were lovely, the hotel and room were beyond my expectations from the pictures and the area in Galle Fort was so wonderful and walkable. This was a great place to do some day excursions from as well, we went to both Mirissa for whale watching, and Hikaduwa for a beach day.

Beautifully designed hotel with excellent food in a central location. But there’s a lot of road noise and dogs barking so you don’t get a good sleep.
There’s no car park despite parking being listed. The Wi-Fi doesn’t work in the bedroom.
