Beautiful old Dutch house, lovely balcony with view of the fort walls and the sea beyond. View west to the setting sun. Swimming spot within three minutes walk. Good fan and AC. Good size room and bathroom. Very nice breakfast at a nearby property. Management and staff very helpful in a pleasant reserved way. Excellent value. Highly recommended.

Really well restored very small guest house with just 2 rooms in a house shared with the host and his family. The hosts family occupy the entire home other than the two rooms and keep themsleves very much to themselves. Breakfast is a good local cuisine offer in a sister guest house about 2 mins walk away. Note the guesthouse has no sign as it is very much the host's home.

great place to stay in the galle fort
Posted 6 Apr 2018 on HotelsLovely homestay, they were all very welcoming on arrival & happy to help arrange transport etc for us. Room was a good size with a balcony, comfortable and private bathroom as well which was also good. breakfast was great but let them know if ou have any dietary requirements at the beginning as I am vegetarian and was given a fried egg with sausage, but they happily made me a Sri Lankan omelette instead! 😁

A lovely guest house
Posted 14 Mar 2018
Pros: I especially appreciated the personal care from the sweet staff, as well as the beauty of the house restorations.
Cons: The bedrooms could use more of the detailed care given to the downstairs areas. A tap leaked, for example, in one of my rooms.
Location: The guesthouse I stayed at, on Pedlar St., is in the heart of the Fort, close to the ramparts. Nearby are great restaurants, shopping, and the sites.
Mr. Khalid owns 5 guest houses in Galle Fort, all beautifully furnished, restored heritage buildings. One gets personal service from the lovely and personable staff, and from Mr. Khalid. Breakfasts are excellent, generous, and beautifully served on the dining table in one of the guest houses. While the rooms are not as well cared for as the downstairs public areas, the room I had had a balcony that looked out over Pedlar St., and was a pleasant place for respite after walking, and the heat. I highly recommend Khalid's guest house(s) for the pretty ambience, great location, reasonable price,, lovely staff and personalized experience.

Great View Inside Galle Fort
Posted 21 Jun 2017 on HotelsThis is a great location inside Galle Fort, with gorgeous balcony views. Privacy is a bit of an issue as you share the balcony with the next room and can easily look right into each other's space. Do be aware that this "guesthouse" is actually two rooms inside a family's home. There are extremely loud small children so if you're not keen on hearing screeching at all hours you might prefer a regular hotel. That said, you can't beat the location or the view, and the beds are quite comfortable. It would be overpriced elsewhere, but you're paying for the location here.
