Fort de 19 villa — Hotel in Galle

· One of the few premises in the fort that can have the sunset view on terrace.||Me and my parents lived in the rooftop room with terrace, which was unexpectedly spacious.||The family that run the hotel lives downstairs, they are such a perfect host.||||The day we checked in, The Attack happened, we watched the news in their living room and experienced the incident together. It was a curfew the first night. And Galle fort was empty the second day. || · If only they could have a co-operation deal with the guesthouse next to it for the guests to go there for breakfast. · One of the few premises in the fort that can have the sunset view on terrace.||Me and my parents lived in the rooftop room with terrace, which was unexpectedly spacious.||The family that run the hotel lives downstairs, they are such a perfect host.||||The day we checked in, The Attack happened, we watched the news in their living room and experienced the incident together.

The room was super spacious with high ceilings, making it feel airy and bright. The bathroom was also large and very functional. But it’s not just the room—the entire building was spotless! We even had our own rooftop with an incredible view. We stayed for five days and never even left the Fort area—everything, from top-class restaurants to cozy cafés, was within walking distance, so we didn’t need a tuk-tuk at all. The people were amazing—always kind and smiling. Next time we visit, we won’t even look for another place; we’ll definitely stay here again. 100% recommended! My only minor criticism about the room is regarding the shower curtain. It's a small issue, but I wanted to mention it as a suggestion: the curtain is a bit old and short, causing water to spill outside while showering. As a result, our slippers got wet, and we ended up bringing water into the room. The room was so clean that seeing it get dirty because of this was a bit...

Galle Fort is one place where history and culture meet in the best possible way. We definitely wanted to stay at Galle Fort and soak in the history and breathtaking views the place has to offer. Fort De 19 Villa turned out to be a pleasant surprise, as we did not have a big budget to splurge. The villa is close to the Rampart Area of the fort thus making it closer to popular watering holes like Peddlars. You should also try the Popular Kothu Parota from the Military Welfare stall near the villa. The bed was very cozy and the room had an old world aura to it....the Balcony with tiled seat is one of the most unique bits we've seen in our travels across many countries.|A TV in the room and better water pressure would surely be appreciated. Thikshana hosted us pretty well never making us feel...
