We loved our stay at Fort Bliss. The staff, location and breakfast was excellent. It is in an old fort and contains some amazing artefacts and artworks. Worth the stay.
Stylishly decorated rooms that feel both refined and inviting. The location couldn’t be more convenient, and the breakfast stands out for its quality and care
Lovely location, veery close to Fort ramparts. Rooms were clean and everything worked. Breakfast was good, fresh fruit and made to order hot food, the smoothies on arrival and available at breakfast were delicious.
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.
We had a great stay at Fort Bliss. The staff is kind and attentive. The location is great, steps from the fort wall and close to many dining options. Breakfast was delicious with fresh fruit and omelette. Extra kudos to the breakfast staff for creating a fun vibe.
Great location in the old fort area with everything in walking distance.
Our upstairs room was spacious with a view of the Indian Ocean.
The breakfast was exceptional. Plenty of fruit, juice, eggs, toast and jams.
Tea and coffee were provided anytime during the day by the attentive staff.
Would definitely stay here again.
Staff were so lovely and helpful!! Went out of their way to assist and help with transport also. We loved the breakfast - plenty of food. Property was kept very clean and tidy throughout. Would definitely stay again
The gentleman was very kind and flexible. We had to catch a train early in the morning and he served great breakfast for us at 6am although it was supposed to be between 7-9am. We appreciate his hospitality!
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.

Perfekt beläget litet hotell innanför murarna. Charmigt hotell med mycket karaktär. Fantastisk personal och bästa frukosten under våra två veckor på Sri Lanka.
Möchte ich bebingungslos empfehlen.
Perfekte Lage für das Fort und Sonnenuntergang, tolles (westliches) Frühstück, angenehme und sehr saubere Zimmer und der Chef selbst kümmert sich bemüht um alles.
UND natürlich ganz wichtig, man hat morgens und abends kaum Tagestouristen, weil man ja vor Ort ist.
Enjoyed our stay at this small friendly hotel very much. Staff helpful and breakfast very good. Conveniently situated in the centre of Galle Fort.

Perfect base in Galle Fort
Stayed just one night. Perfect base to explore the old fort. Basic but clean room, good air con and fan. Good shower and breakfast. W were also fortunate to get a sea view room
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 :)
