We booked the panoramic double room, with a terrace and ocean view. The room was clean, small, but we knew that when booking as we wanted a room with a terrace and view. The staff were really friendly and helpful. The breakfast had a lovely choice and we liked we could pick what we had before hand. Overall a really nice stay and we loved the view.

Great room, spacious and clean. We didn’t have a sit out balcony but could open our doors out onto a narrow strip to stand and see the sea, street below. The staff were very friendly and helpful, nothing too much trouble. Breakfasts were plentiful and fresh fruit was fab.

The staff were so friendly and attentive. Helped us get a taxi to the airport and allowed for a late checkout, since no one was staying in our room after us. The rooftop terrace is the perfect place to enjoy the sunset, breeze and watch the people walking on the fort paths.

I loved this hotel. It was old with lots of charm and located just across the street from the fort wall. It was next to Pedler Street with great shopping. Breakfast was really good with an amazing array of fruit. Overall, this is a great hotel.

The Bartizan's rooms were spacious and clean. The bathroom was gorgeous. The breakfast was generous, and we were given a packed breakfast on the day we left early. The staff were very attentive. It is located on the coast and walkable to loads of shops and restaurants. It was our favourite hotel in the two weeks we spent in Sri Lanka.
Verified review

10/10 Exceptional

The hotel was really beautiful and our room incredibly spacious and well appointed with a fabulous balcony with views out to sea. It is located in the heart of Galle Fort with easy access to all points of the fort and to a couple of beaches. The breakfasts were delicious and the staff could not have been more accommodating helping us to arrange a cooking class and arranging a visit from a barber. We had a really excellent time.
