No WiFi....
Nice and beautiful hotel but no WiFi connection inside the room. They are willing to change me into another room but that room is smaller and the WiFi is not in a good connection too.

Lovely colonial property in the middle of the Fort, Art Deco theme is continued throughout. Didn’t eat there as breakfast seemed very expensive; there is a huge variety of eateries nearby, from trendy cafes to high class dining, to small local shops. Suite was comfy, although the bathroom separated bedroom from living area, so it wasn’t one large space. Didn’t use living area. No dark curtains over nets so light let in in morning.

This is a really beautiful Art Deco Hotel which was faultless in its presentation. Our room and bathroom were huge, clean and beautifully decorated. The swimming pool is also lovely.
The staff were wonderful - always friendly and helpful.
We have stayed in many hotels on our travels over the last four months and this was the first to surpass our expectations in practically every way.
One of the most beautiful hotels we have ever stayed in - highly recommended.

The manager is a disgrace, with no understanding of hospitality. Shouted agressively at me and our driver after not agreeing to pay for my driver's accomodation despite emailing us to say they would beforehand. Ruined our 1st night in Sri Lanka in what would otherwise have been a nice hotel.

Great stay in Galle Fort
This is the second time we stayed at Deco on 44. It is a lovely hotel in the center of Galle Fort. The rooms are large and either face the pool or have an attached large balcony. The staff are friendly and helpful and the food is good!

Great one night stay
Great one night stay in Galle Fort. Junior suite room very spacious and comfortable. Great little pool to allow you to cool down at the end of the day . Great breakfast and the staff even made a juice from the wood apples we bought locally.
Lovely Deco hotel ideally located for wandering around the fort area, restaurants shops, museums, etc.

Good value stylish hotel in the centre of Galle
This is a fabulous small hotel in the middle of Galle Fort in an art-deco stytle building. The rooms are comfortable and well-kept and the wifi is useable. The beds are very confortable and there is good water pressure in the shower. There are DVD players in all rooms, and there is a library of around 200 DVDs, including lots that you might actually want to watch! Breakfast is very good, and the all-day restaurant menu has lots of choice. The only slight negative is the tinny musac that seems to be played in the restaurant area most of the day, but happily its not audible anywhere else.
