Stayed here for one night in March. Never again. It wasn't anything like the lonely planet guide had described it to be. My husband and I, upon arriving, we're asked to pay for the room upfront. Stupidly we didn't ask to see the room. It was a twin room without a door on the toilet, and the toilet was is... More

I booked this hotel through internet booking service and when arrived was greeted by the owner who swiftly found an opportunity to attempt to sell me property investments in Sri Lanka even before I had been shown a room. After I nearly passed out I was shown a room which was incredibly low standard, a raised platform plastic cubicle in... More

We booked one night at this hotel at the start of our holiday in Sri Lanka through booking.com. After an 11 hour all night flight we hired a car and driver to take us to Galle. We arrived at approx 8am at the Dutch House Hotel and prduced our booking voucher. We were told by a young man on the... More

We decided to stay in this hotel after reading the comments in Lonely Planet and some comments in tripadvisor. The hotel was empty when we were there, we booked by phone, and I would say price/quality is ok.. but not cheap. Our room was in the basement, with two big beds with mosquito nets. Bathroom was big, the electricity plug... More

I have a mix of disappointment and a slight feeling I'm being unfair. Some of it is the fault of Lonely Planets, which is unnecessarily gushing about the place. There are (from my count) only 6 rooms and only 2 (or maybe 3) of them have wooden floorboards. Only the 2 rooms downstairs have en suite and they suffer from... More

Stayed two nights Rooms are like cool caves in the main photographed house. Sounds a bit strange, but that is how the dutch built. Air con works. Bathroom ok. Add 10% to any quoted price - tax. Safe place - low risk to belongings. If busy, i.e. supply less than demand then the issues mentioned in other reviews are risks.... More

Be warned! Our attempt to stay at this hotel was without doubt the worst experience of our trip. We rang a week ahead to book 2 nights in early Jan and were told that a room was available with aircon, TV, fridge and breakfast on the required dates. However, on arrival, we were told that no room was available at... More

We spent two nights at this hotel, selected as it was in a great position within the Fort. Our experience was certainly a positive one. The twin room was one of the most comfortable that we stayed in whilst in Sri Lanka, and it was clearly clean and well maintained. Breakfast was tasty and it was a real treat to... More

The hotel looks fantastic inside, no shoes allowed so its very clean with varnished wood and tiles throughout. The rooms were superb, much more luxurious than the price and the breakfast was one of the best in Sri Lanka. The only negative is we only stayed for one night!
