6-room boutique hotel in a 17th-century bungalow inside Galle Fort

Accommodations

The Bungalow Galle Fort - Hotel - Restaurant - Cocktail Bar has six rooms inside a 17th-century bungalow within the UNESCO Dutch Fort. Two of the chambers, Heritage Harmony and Destiny Dream, offer 55" smart TVs with cable channels. The Bustle & Beat chambers have no television, encouraging guests to listen to the sound of the fort instead.

Dining & Cocktail Bar

The on-site restaurant serves adventurous comfort food for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. A continental breakfast is complimentary for all guests, while the cocktail bar lists drinks such as Bombay Bliss and The Drunken Lankan. Staff like Zakir and Thushara provide personalized recommendations for food and cocktails.

Location

The hotel shares its street with two iconic churches - the Dutch Reform Church and All Saints Church - both a 100-meter walk away. The beach is 500 meters from the doorstep, and the Galle lighthouse is less than 1 kilometer away. Walking tours of the fort and Unawatuna's nightlife are reachable within a 10-minute drive.

Guest Services

Staff at The Bungalow provide currency exchange, luggage storage, and invoice provided upon request. Car hire and daily housekeeping are available, along with dry cleaning, laundry, and ironing services. The manager Ismail offers WhatsApp communication for quick assistance with transfers and local recommendations.

Additional Amenities

Free high-speed WiFi covers the entire property, and the air-conditioned lounge has cable TV and a DVD collection. Safety features include fire extinguishers, CCTV in common areas and outside, key access, and a security deposit box. The hotel also offers a coffee house on site, kids' meals, and special diet menus for guests with dietary needs.
