“Old world European style in the tropics!”
The property is a beautiful maintained historic building so it’s bursting with character and charm! My daughter and I had two rooms, she had a ground floor courtyard room which was cute and compact with double layer doors so it felt safe. I had a room on the upper floor which was bigger and stylish with a long balcony that looks over the ocean for a beautiful sunset. Breakfast was extremely delicious. The staff and management were so friendly and kind… giving up a late check out so we could have a fuller day of shopping before leaving for our next location.

The staff were so friendly and welcoming, they were always willing to give us suggestions and helped us find a car company to use during our stay. The breakfast was delicious, we got a different smoothie everyday, lots of fruit and then a main breakfast of our choice. Would highly recommend to anyone staying in Galle. It is super close to lots of shops and restaurants

The Bartizan Galle Fort is absolutely stunning. We stayed for one night, which allowed us to see all the sights in the historic fort. The courtyard, where breakfast is served, is beautiful. From the terraces you have an amazing view of the sunset, while simultaneously escaping the crowds. The staff is very friendly.

“Charming boutique hotel with great staff but choose your room carefully.”
Cleverly designed boutique hotel around an old colonial building on the western edge of the fort area. The staff were excellent and the complimentary tea and a cake very welcome. The private terrace we had overlooking the fort ramparts and ocean was lovely. Breakfasts also excellent.
