Reviews for Fort Thari Inn

Review 1：Breakfast was at a single kitchen table where every guest sits together, where this might be nice enough, its barely a breakfast room set up for multiple guests, was more like a home stay, breakfast was nice though.

Review 2：Nice room, very friendly staff

Review 3：Basic breakfast, small rooms...but Galle is amazing and full of great places to eat...a perfect base with everything you might want a stroll away.

Review 4：Right in the heart of the fort, clean, comfortable, hugely helpful staff and cheap compared to the competition in a pricey location. Perfect air conditioned retreat when the tropical heat overwhelms.

Review 5：The bathroom was not very clean when I arrived but I asked and they cleaned it better. Internet did not work properly, but the next day the technicien came and fixed it. No fruit or juices with breakfast unless you order it previously. It is in a very narrow street, so you can hear early in the morning the neighbour´s TV. You must ask for hot water, otherwise, they do not switch it on, and only cold water is available in the shower.

Review 6：The people is very kind and any wrong thing they try to work out as soon as possible. The bed was very comfortable.

Review 7：Room too small, not really even a guest house, dining area small, telly didn't work - only thing that did was wifi

Review 8：we booked for three nights but only stayed for one - Booking.com totally understood our reasons for moving on that we were not happy with the room

Review 9：No obviously resepten - just operer the door and 'helle?' Shower was dirty (personel knocked on the door because he had left his soap in there!!) No wifi in bedroom No netting (quite a few mosquitoes)

Review 10：Comfy bed Quiet side street

Review 11：very small kitchen with the faculties work in the kitchen, expensive kitchen use first day no electricity power,second day no warm shower water and with construction of monitor in the house,with noisy

Review 12：in the old city,very convenient

Review 13：The kitchen/dining area was small so some days you shared breakfast on the same table as other guests. (Not a big problem for us.)

Review 14：Hotel in the heart of old Galle. Quiet location with good air con. Excellent staff.

Review 15：No cable tv.

Review 16：Close to the wall and centrally located in the middle of the Fort. Pleasant, helpful staff. Reasonably quiet. Small balcony, but no view. Clean room with enclosed shower.

Review 17：The manager was adequate. He seemed put- out to have to tell me how to find it and check me in. He then hurried me to leave early.

Review 18：A little hard to find, but in a nice spot. Decent breakfast. WiFi worked well at night, barely in the daytime.

Review 19：we discovered (a little too late) that to have a warm shower you have to ask the personel to turn on the boiler. Communication in general could be better with some (but not all) personel maybe spending a little less time on their Facebook and phone. Also a lot of noise from the neighbors but this stopped at night. The balcony view is a white wall. It would be a good idea to make a curtain or something in the bathroom so that people can no longer look into the bathroom.

Review 20：Location close to restaurants. Some of the personel were very freindly and helpful (others were a little snooty).

Review 21：Don't rely on a photo to describe this place. Must have been taken by a clever photographer. The truth is that it is about 2 metres from the houses on the other side of the alley, so you get all of their noise, t.v etc. Rooms O.K. Wifi patchy. Breakfast very average. Overall, while within the fort which adds to costs, not good value for money.

Review 22：location

Review 23：The fact that there was no mosquito net in the room. Too bad there were mosquito's. It's a little bit noisy in the narrow street sometimes (somebody was watching television late night loudly) and there is a balcony with buildingview. You have to ask for hot water. If you don't know you will have a cold shower. Would be nice if they told us that earlier :)

Review 24：We liked the airconditioning in the room and the location in the Galle Fort. It's easy to discover the Fort from here. Just a good basic guesthouse.

Review 25：breakfast was poor. some construction next door was noisy during the daytime. they don't accept credit card payment

Review 26：Good location inside the fort. nice and helpful manager

Review 27：It was a nightmare of a stay. The sheets were not ironed, the food consisted of a single fried egg for breakfast, and the hotel had no restaurants or eateries nearby. When we asked the staff (comprising of one youth) for recommendations, he directed us to a dicey-looking Chinese fast food place. Would not recommend this place to anyone.

Review 28：we had a great welcome with a refreshing avocado juice and got a big and clean room. it's a great place to walk around the fort and is near to the restaurants. top place!

Review 29：Bad breakfast, very strange guy that works there.

Review 37：Good location, just near the fort. Very nice host and help us rent car and everything. Rooms are clean and nice. Very good experience. Recommend place to stay!

Review 38：Very small. Bedroom was right onto kitchen where staff spent their time. Construction taking place next door.

Review 39：Cheap and comfortable place to stay within the Fort walls. Cheap and good value for money for location. Down a small alley not far from a great rice & curry shop and other nice cafes. Good value for inside fort walls.

Review 40：The wi fi only worked in the common area, but at least it worked.

Review 41：FULL PRESSURE SHOWER!!!!! Only full pressure shower during our whole trip. Was so nice to be able to have a nice hot shower and wash my hair properly. Furniture in rooms are new and bed was very comfy.
