Fort Bliss was a wonderful establishment: centrally located, clean, comfortable and very well furnished. Breakfast was among the best I’ve had in SL. And Sunnil was just lovely.

This is an outstanding property, the location is fantastic for seeing the old city. The staff are among out top 3 of all our years of travel. They go out of their way to make a holiday the best it can be. We will definitely return snd stay here in the future.

We stayed at Fort Bliss for 2 nights. We had a great room with lots of space, big bathroom and very clean. The location is perfect for walking around town and it was quiet. Breakfast was abundant and delicious. The service was terrific. Overall, we were very happy with our selection. The hotel is in a big, colonial dutch house. The high ceilings add an extra nice touch.

Great location right in the heart of Galle Fort. Staff lovely, particularly Chef who couldnt do enough to help us. Rooms old Galle style, but quiet and comfortable. Breakfast freshly cooked and served, water each day. Great price. 3* but very nice.

Great little place in the fort. Owner was very helpful arranging transport to the sea turtle farm and to the train station. Breakfast was really good - you won't need lunch after it :)

Great convenient location on edge of the old city in the quiet section of town. Small boutique colonial style hotel full of charm at an acceptable cost for Galle. A trifle difficult getting large suitcases up narrow stairs if staff unavailable.
Rooms a little cramp but clean and well furnished, only downside no curtains on above window fan windows letting in lots of night lights that will bother a light sleeper.
Good professional staff, great breakfast and good prompt service.
A good place to stay within the fort of Galle. Excellent breakfast !

The service is good with hotel staffs able to speak fluent English. Only flaw is the room is a bit small and there are quite some mosquitoes inside the room.

A quaint and lovely place located in the middle of the Galle old town. The room is really good and completely value for money. The breakfast is especially good.

Fort Bliss is a wonderful place to stay in Galle. We were lucky to have the biggest room (number 1) with a four poster bed and a veranda. The staff were very attentive and caring and cooked wonderful breakfast. The location is perfect for shops, bars and restaurants. We would not hesitate to go there again or recommend it to our friends and relatives.

The stay is very good. You will have a decent stay here and warm welcome from their staff. The morning breakfast is delicious. The room is clean. The staff also helped me to find a tuk tuk and give me advice on reasonable price. Just one thing to improve: They need to add a curtain on the top window coz ppl on the 2nd floor may see inside the room and give lower privacy. This is also too bright without curtain and wake me up in the morning.
