Nice big old colonial house with spacious room.
We stayed at Fort Bliss for 2 nights. We had a great room with lots of space, big bathroom and very clean. The location is perfect for walking around town and it was quiet. Breakfast was abundant and delicious. The service was terrific. Overall, we were very happy with our selection. The hotel is in a big, colonial dutch house. The high ceilings add an extra nice touch.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Great convenient location on edge of the old city in the quiet section of town. Small boutique colonial style hotel full of charm at an acceptable cost for Galle. A trifle difficult getting large suitcases up narrow stairs if staff unavailable. Rooms a little cramp but clean and well furnished, only downside no curtains on above window fan windows letting in lots of night lights that will bother a light sleeper. Good professional staff, great breakfast and good prompt service.

Perfect place to relax
Fort Bliss is a wonderful place to stay in Galle. We were lucky to have the biggest room (number 1) with a four poster bed and a veranda. The staff were very attentive and caring and cooked wonderful breakfast. The location is perfect for shops, bars and restaurants. We would not hesitate to go there again or recommend it to our friends and relatives.

Great little place in wonderful location
I stayed February 1 for one night. I was tired of large resorts and thought Galle would be a nice town for a small hotel. I was right. Fort Bliss was charming, quiet and comfortable. The beautiful town and Fort were at my doorstep. Lovely architecture and amazing views all over this charming little town!!
