The Fort Printers is a beautiful boutique hotel with professional staff who are lovely. The breakfast and dinner menu was outstanding with some of the best food we ate in Sri Lanka. Our room was very comfortable and a really good size. They also serve excellent cocktails, I had one of the best bloody Mary's ever 😋

My wife and I stayed here for 5 nights at the end of a 6 week tour of Southern India and Sri Lanka. It's a beautiful small hotel that has retained the building's history, yet is comfortable and has modern facilities. It has an lovely calm atmosphere which was exactly what we were looking for. The staff we engaged with were all excellent and friendly. It's in a great location, right in the middle of the Fort. 10/10

Fantastic small hotel in the middle of Galle Fort. For the life of me I don't know why it is a three star - it behaves like a five star. Excellent.

Beautiful property in an amazing location. Gorgeous spacious rooms & bathrooms and a lovely pool. However, the service was quite slow at breakfast and the dinner in the restaurant was very expensive.

Beautiful historical hotel
Wonderful hotel with the best service and breakfast we have received anywhere, during a month of travelling. The prefect room was large, two sinks, beautifully kept, with instant access to the pool. Our early departure meant we received a wake up call with a take away breakfast: a nice touch

Highly recommended!
Beautiful room, well appointed, the staff were lovely. Breakfast was excellent. The hotel is located right in the middle of the old fort area, despite this the rooms were quiet. The pool was lovely & great to escape the heat of the day. The meals at the restaurant were excellent. Great value for the quality of hotel. Highly recommended!
