The Bartizan Galle Fort

This hotel is really beautiful, and Andrew the manager did a great job. It’s not shiny or flashy, but the breakfast is fantastic and the rooms with the balconies are very pretty.

The room was  disappointing in that it was very small with a small bed. We had booked a superior room. The decor was shabby. On the plus side we got a balcony (only one of two ) which looked out to sea and we enjoyed our time there although it would have been nice if the hotel had put shade up there. The Sri Lankan breakfast was very good and the staff attentive and friendly. At any other price range this would have been a pleasant stay but it is absolutely not worth the price charged. No element of luxury or comfort compared to a homestay.

I have the best time staying in this hotel. Beautiful Place! Good Breakfast and Best Crew! Special thanks to Pathum, Sanjeever and Ranjit for making our stay feel special. Always with a smile and happy to be of assistance round the clock!! I will come back again and see you guys again when im back in Galle next time!! See you guys!!

Amazing stay, highly recommend! I've just returned from a two night stay at the Bartizan and it was nothing short of splendid! The only downside was that stay was too short. My room was stunning and incredibly spacious. It had a very comfortable bed, cold AC, a beautiful balcony with dining table and comfortable chairs to sit and watch the sea. Breakfast could be delivered to the room or you could dine in the private courtyard downstairs. You choose daily from several options/styles. The two I tried were both delicious and quite a big meal. The hotel has been beautifully renovated and the staff were exceedingly kind, friendly and accommodating. They really went out of their way to help me have a wonderful stay and really contributed to my experience visiting Southern Sri Lanka. It is a boutique hotel, privately owned and in a historic building, so if this isn't your thing and you are looking for something more bland and more like a big standardized US chain then this might not be for you, but if you are drawn to Galle because of the history, the beauty of the architecture and the sea then I highly recommend.

The hotel was really beautiful and our room incredibly spacious and well appointed with a fabulous balcony with views out to sea. It is located in the heart of Galle Fort with easy access to all points of the fort and to a couple of beaches. The breakfasts were delicious and the staff could not have been more accommodating helping us to arrange a cooking class and arranging a visit from a barber. We had a really excellent time.
