Nyne Hotels Landesi – Galle Fort

We had 2 nights here as part of a touring holiday, this was a change from our original hotel and clearly an upgrade. Name is currently 'Landesi by Nyne'. The hotel has just 4 well appointed rooms in a old 'manor house' in the centre of the old Fort area of Galle, lots of character and a beautiful room. We dined out both nights but breakfasts, served on the ground floor terrace, overlooking the small courtyard garden, were lovely (we had the Sri Lankan option, great curries and hoppers). Service was generally good, if possibly a bit too overbearing but there were issues. Firstly, the room safe was locked shut when we arrived and weren't able to access it until the night manager arrived as he had the master key, it wasn't on site. Secondly, on breakfast on our final morning, service struggled to provide for just 6 guests at the same time and we had to leave without having the second cups of tea/coffee we'd requested. Small points, maybe, but for a hotel of this quality and price those are issues which shouldn't arise and we've downgraded what should have been a 5 star rating accordingly.

What a find. It is a very small hotel where they care for you with such kindness. The old style villa has been beautifully adapted into this tiny boutique hotel. It is like staying in someones house with so much space and enormous comfortable rooms. They prepared us an evening meal which was all cooked fresh and exactly what we had asked for and the breakfast too was excellent. Ideal location from which to look around the local area. I cannot rate the staff highly enough for their welcome. It would be the perfct place to rent for a special smalll family /friends stay away in luxury conditions .
