The location is excellent, located next to the ancient city wall. The beach is just behind the hotel, and you can also watch the sunset while sitting on the hotel terrace bar. Although the breakfast is not a buffet, it is very delicious. The room is not big, but clean and comfortable

A very new hotel with a good location. Galle Fort is close to the seaside and there is a Chinese restaurant next to it. The hotel facilities are very new, and the rooftop terrace is also very impressive. Worth a stay

性價比太低。2千多人名幣一晚上的價格跟國內500左右快捷酒店差不多。

Lovely, large room with great facilities and a sweet balcony. The rooftop pool was very welcome from the heat of the day. We were made aware that there was some sanding work going on, but this was not a major problem. Great location in the old fort so walking distance to everything you'd want to visit.

During our recent stay at The Charleston in Galle Fort, we were captivated by its bohemian charm and intimate ambiance. Nestled within the historic walls of this UNESCO World Heritage site, the hotel offers breathtaking views over Galle Fort and the Indian Ocean. We were fortunate to stay in Room 9, which boasts incredible ocean views. Waking up to the serene sight of the sea each morning was truly magical. The room's design seamlessly blends old-world charm with modern comforts, featuring elegant furnishings and beautiful touches of local flavors. The hotel's high-end covered pool provided a refreshing retreat after a day of exploring. Dining at Charlie's Bistro & Bar was a highlight; the menu is both diverse and delightful, celebrating the best locally sourced produce. The inventive cocktails, infused with local ingredients, were the perfect accompaniment to the light live music that enhanced the evening atmosphere. The staff's friendliness and attention to detail made our stay exceptional. Their five-star service ensured we felt pampered and well-cared-for throughout our visit. The Charleston's prime location allowed us to easily explore the fort's quaint cobbled streets, historic monuments, and vibrant local shops. For those seeking a charming and luxurious escape with stunning sea views, The Charleston is an unparalleled choice.
