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.

態度極差!斷水斷電達兩個小時,無人處理;投訴致攜程,居然回覆攜程説:是全地區斷電。那別的客人怎麼住的?一點不真誠!另外,有三件房不在酒店裡,距離酒店兩百米,在預訂界面居然也無提及和提醒,這個攜程也是有過錯的,誰要住到兩百米外毫無服務的地點,這是酒店也不是airbnb

地理位置十分方便,網紅店就在隔壁,對門有bar,晚上帶孩子小坐一會兒很舒服,酒店沒問題,不過加勒就是可住可不住,個人覺得下次不會住一晚。

街の中にあり最高の立地で、灯台やモスク、ビーチにすぐに出ることが出来る。 家具やアート作品などのセンスがとても素晴らしかった。 パキスタン人オーナーが選んでいるとのこと。花の生け方も素敵だった。 ラウンジにはブリューゲルのカタログなどがあった。 ホテルの従業員のリネンの制服もホテルに合っていた。 プールも大きくはないが、周りの古い黄色い壁とのカラーコントラストが素敵だった。 朝食はコンチネンタルにしたが、ヘルシーでおしゃれで美味しかった。 スイートに泊まったが、猫足のバスタブ。ただし、窓の外は街路なので、窓を開けることができず、 暗かったのが少し残念。

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.
