We stayed in this very special heritage hotel in one of their Landmark twin rooms. Everything worked perfectly and we were very comfortable. Our view over Galle green was beautiful and we were lulled to sleep by the sound of ocean waves. Luckily we were there on Independence Day and watched the Sri Lankan naval vessels moored just in front of the hotel from the pool terrace. The view from the main terrace where we had breakfast was a peaceful start to the days we were there. Do stay in this hotel if you can.
