The Bartizan Galle Fort, hotel in Galle

Located in Galle Fort, a world heritage site, The Bartizan’s original structure was built in the early 17th century Dutch colonial period.

Fantastic location. Value for money. If you are looking for something in the fort and don’t have a big pocket I’d pick this place. Neat and nice. Very small room but again I didn’t want at what I’d pay in a big hotel group so definitely value for money

Green Casa, hotel in Galle

Green Casa is situated in Galle, 1.7 km from Galle Fort. Free private parking is available on site. Each air-conditioned room comes with a flat-screen TV.

An unexpected stay! We had to replan our trip last minute due to a cancellation on a connecting flight. We had plans to get to Kandy / Ella, but they were all scuppered. But we found ourselves in Galle, where we had wanted to visit but knew our initial plans would not afford. So as they say, every cloud.... The Green Casa is a beauty to behold. A 150 year Dutch merchant villa that's been redesigned - keeping the old features in tact, with nostalgia added from an age long gone and the feel of the old colonial days. There has been a lot of respect in maintaining the history of the architecuture. Old pictures taken by the owner bring to light the history of communities in Sri Lanka. We arrived to Mohan, who gave is the warmest Sri Lankan. He looks after the property and the guests there, and made us feel so welcomed. We arrived to welcome drinks, and felt so spoilt during our 2 night stay. They somehow knew that we had a difficult trip to get there, and even if they didn't, we felt they knew. Thank you to the team at Green Casa! It was the most beautiful stay!

    GALLE FORT is great for a one day visit.

    GALLE FORT is great for a one day visit. The town is small and some shops are repetitive, with the same items for sale, but there are a few unique shops and restaurants which make a visit worthwhile. Sunsets are beautiful; walk along the top of fort walls. Take a tuk tuk to the local fish market just outside of town for vibrant local life and walk back. We stayed overnight which made the visit more relaxing.

    Galle is a city with a combination of a Dutch period fort and beach with all modern facilities. Dutch Fort is a very live well, reserved place with excellent attractions and choices. Walking over the museums and art galleries located in preserved ancient buildings is an excellent experience. fairly good nightlife available with ample choices of fine dining. within Fort, they charge higher prices due to high tourist demand. yet affordable eateries, supermarkets and facilities are available out of Fort within walking distance. Also people in Galle are very friendly, professional and helpful .

    Perfect location in the, heart of beautiful Galle. We felt. completely at home in this lovely family run hotel. Malika welcomed, us warmly with cold coconut juice. Her breakfasts were copious and delicious. We appreciated too the complimentary bottle of water given to us each day. Our room was not very big but very nice. Wonderful bed and pillows. The bathroom was by far the nicest we've had in Sri Lanka. Our stay here was especially enjoyable due to the kindness and friendliness of Malika who is a perfect and very professional host.

    Outstanding!!! I am so happy to have found this beautiful hotel! The location is ideal for going to both the Fort and Unawatuna with very cheap tuk-tuks, but in a very peaceful location. Indika and Lahiru are amazing! They were very attentive and kind and cooked our best meal in Sri Lanka. Beautiful rooms and fantastic pool. I highly recommend staying here! (We were going to stay at another hotel in the Fort, but they canceled last minute and I am so glad they did. This is a much better location with the best service.)

    The accommodation clearly exceeded our expectations. There are only two rooms in the complex, which makes it pleasantly quiet. Despite the small complex, there is always a janitor who is there for every request and serves breakfast very lovingly. In general, both the owner and the janitor were extremely friendly. Last but not least, the room and the pool were very modern, clean and inviting. The bed was also the most comfortable of the Sri Lanka trip so far. We liked the hotel so much that we extended our stay.

    Everything! Fantastic location in the centre of Galle Fort. We had a front room with balcony - great to sit out on and not noisy at night and the bonus of a resident peacock displaying on the balcony opposite! Beautiful property and delightful staff. Vinod and his team make you feel a million dollars with small details adding to a first rate experience, from the flower displays to the gentle jazz music, a super clean property and great air con. The BEST Sri Lankan breakfast and great coffee too.

Never thought it would be possible to get such a good avocado toast in an Asian country :-) The room was big and clean, everyone was very helpful and the location was good as well. Near to every place we wanted to visit and also the price was good compared to other hotels directly in Galle Fort. Highly recommended

    This was our first visit to Sri Lanka. We booked last minute and could not prepare this holiday. The hotel is run as a bed and breakfast, which was exactly what we like. The owner and staff were super friendly and helpful to make our little trip very special and helped create amazing memories. Galle fort, actually a walled little town, has beautiful restored colonial houses turned in very good restaurants, hotels and shops. Beaches are close-by for sun bathing and surfing.

The quality of the service and the attention to detail from the three men managing this hotel was absolutely perfect. The breakfasts we were served, which were included in the room price, were the best we've ever had. This hotel was perfect in every way, and we will definitely stay there again the next time we are in Galle Fort.
