We love this hotel and have been back a few times. The central location inside Gallé Fort is perfect, making it easy to walk anywhere. The rooms are lovely and quiet, and the interior decor is beautifully done. The place has an air of tranquility about it. We love sitting on the veranda sipping a G&T and people watching 😍. The hotel is beautifully appointed, the staff are really well trained, the service is excellent and the spa is lovely. They also do some great seasonal offers.

The only down sides to the hotel is that there is no pool - BUT they are opening one very soon 🎉 and the food in the restaurant in an evening can sometimes be a bit basic, but the breakfast is always plentiful and delicious.

I would HIGHLY recommend staying in the Fort area when visiting Galle. That being said, Fort Bazaar was the perfect place. Great service and perfect location. Bed and pillows were comfortable and shower pressure was great. Laundry service reasonable and same day. Good happy hour. Quiet for a good nights sleep. We booked a Double Bazaar Bedroom and it was a large room and only a few stairs (Room 12).

The wifi was inconsistent. I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt re:weather, as the two restaurants we visited that same day said their wifi wasn’t working either. By the time we left the wifi was working again.

Our stay at Fort Bazaar was excellent. The decor and facilities were lovely with so many nice areas to sit, a lovely restaurant and bar. Our host Avishka was very friendly and helpful, assisting us with booking a day trip through the hotel and always on hand to check we were having a good time. All the staff at the hotel and service was 10/10. The complimentary happy hour and afternoon tea are nice touches, making this feel like a home away from home. Our suite room was great and there is even a library area to sit and read and look out over the courtyard. The location of the hotel is right in the centre of the Fort (the old town) so you can step out of the hotel and start exploring right away. We enjoyed our stay here and would recommend this hotel highly.

Very attentive staff going above and beyond to help guests with any need or request, especially Avi who worked on the front desk, he made sure everything was just perfect for my stay. Extremely clean and spacious rooms, nicely designed with a minimalist and modern look whilst keeping the colonial feel. Location was perfect being right in the centre of the fort. Complimentary afternoon tea and happy hour was also a really nice touch and the restaurant was really nice serving amazing food.

Nothing, this was one of the best hotels I’ve stayed in, service, location and quality was amazing. Room rates are expensive but I feel this can be justified for the experience of staying here.

Hotel was beautiful, stylishly furnished, and wonderfully rennovated heritage building. Cannot fault this hotel. The staff were exceptional - felt like a family. The food was exquisite. Rate included breakfast, afternoon tea, and happy hour drinks which was a pleasant surprise and just delicious. This hotel has been done brilliantly and will definitely look to stay in more of the group hotels in future.

Can't find any fault with the hotel. It was incredible. Only issue was booking.com being hacked and sending bogus phishing requests for payments for which I still have yet to receive a response or apology for this data breach. Book direct with the hotel - they are FABULOUS.

LOVED it here! Gorgeous colonial era property with spacious rooms, beautiful courtyard and a restaurant on the veranda to watch the world go by. Free afternoon tea between 3-4 and cocktail hour 5-6, were amazing. Also offer a free walking tour of Galle Fort, which was super informative. The little touches like a turndown and ‘push for champagne button’ added a touch of luxury. Staff were also super helpful and friendly.

Mozzies, but that can’t be helped.

Excellent location. What makes this hotel is the amazing staff. So friendly and welcoming. The room was spotless and cleaned every day to a very high standard. Food was great and always served with a smile and a kind word. Particular mention for Naveen, the hotel driver. Polite, warm and a real gentleman. Thanks Fort Bazaar, I’ll definitely stay again when I am next in Sri Lanka.

Excellent hotel, wonderful staff and well located.

Be careful with excursions offered by the hotel via external parties. I did the rain forest walk and was disappointed. The guide ended it early because he claimed it had rained the night before and was slippery and not safe. A group of 4 females from the same tour company was allowed to do the full tour because for some reason it’s not slippery when there are four of you- makes no sense.

One of the original historic building of Galle Fort this beautiful hotel adds to the experience of a visit to this tiny heritage protected area. The food is very very good, and the staff friendly and professional. Stop in for lunch or dinner or drinks on the verandah. It also has egg hoppers available for breakfast.

Lovely, well modernised, contemporary hotel but which still retained its Dutch merchant’s house roots. Polite helpful staff, excellent rooms.

Dining room lacks some atmosphere- more of a place to eat than to dine. Lose the table in the middle of the dining room and replace with a pedestal with a huge bunch of flowers - that would be a good start.
