The service at No 5 Middle Street was very good. The team looking after the place looked after us very well. The breakfasts were amazing. The room was very spacious. All in all a good stay with a friendly team of staff.

A great stay in Galle Fort

Fabulous area No 05 Middle street is located.  Staff very good and Senaka was very accommodating with our request and great customer service and experience.  Would definitely recommend No 05 Middle Street.

Location, History, Customer Experience 

I spent two nights there, I was the only guest sleeping there with the man who does the check-in and breakfast. First night, nothing to report. Second night, I wake up at 5am because I feel something on my shoulder : when I open my eyes, I discover that I am not alone in my bed ! The man who welcomed me in the place is lying next to me, naked, and tries to wake me up !!! I literally jump out of bed, scream, shout at him to get out : he ends up leaving after five minutes of incoherent english. I add that my door was locked from the inside as always, and that I fell asleep with all my things in the place he occupied (computer, phone, book). So that means that he forced the door open with his own key, got into the net around the bed, moved all my stuff to lie down next to me while I was sleeping : how sick do you have to be to do that ?!!! This is extremely serious sexual harassment that could have ended very badly for me. I packed my bags immediately and left the hotel, looking for a safe place to regroup and plan the rest of my trip. I didn't run into the man again so I didn't pay the bill, but thought I would be charged via Booking. I went to a yoga center not far away, and about an hour later, the man shows up there as if nothing had happened ! Asking me to pay the hotel bill, and telling everyone in the area that I left "his" hotel (pretending to be the owner) without paying him, making me look like a thief. As there was no way I was going anywhere with him, he ended up calling his manager to whom I told the whole story, and he found a solution to make me pay by card without me needing to go back to the hotel where I would have never set foot anyway, and the story ended there ! I'm pretty sure this man will never see the consequences of his actions. I am extremely shocked. Avoid at all cost if you are a woman, and you travel alone : you are not safe !!!

Worst experience of my life !

Beautiful heritage building with spacious rooms adhering to the buildings style. Great location within the fort, walking distance from the first hotel in Sri Lanka (350 years old), a great gelato store, and several of the top restaurants in the area. Small library has some great title to borrow. Breakfast was relaxed and plentiful. Excellent stay

Luxurious heritage building

Stayed here for two nights while visiting our son who was working in Galle hospital. Stayed in No5 - one of a number of houses clustered around their main building - and had the place to ourselves. Everything is beautifully designed and really chic - holds its own among the fancy offerings of Galle Forte. Staff super friendly. And food delicious (had both breakfast and dinner)

Charming boutique hotel

We really enjoyed our stay at Middle Street. We booked the twin bedroom purely because it was the only one left at the time and I must say it is not as large as the other bedrooms shown however the bed was extremely comfortable and the linen of a high quality. Great bathroom and decorated with the same attention to detail. Staff at Middle Street were always available and helpful if needed and breakfast at Fortaleza was varied and most enjoyable. There was a buffet on day one when I opted for the hoppers and then a la carte the next day. Good choice and high quality offering. 

Twin bedroom 

Fortaleza Middle Street was everything we expected and more. The rooms and the building in general is spacious, beautiful and comfortable, with a luxurious feel. The staff, both in the house and in the nearby reception, was very profesional and helpful. Wonderful experience, highly rcommended!

Amazing stay!

Lovely accomodation and a special welcome. We stayed at 5 Middle Street, the room was large and airy with beautiful furnishings and an excellent well appointed bathroom. The staff and owners were super friendly, common spaces excellent even with a good library and breakfast was delicious.

Great place to stay 

Ethan and his lovely staff made us welcome and provided great local advice. We took two rooms (essentially the first floor) in the 3 bedroom house for 3 days over Christmas and found little presents left on our beds. Lots of nice little touches like this made our stay memorable. 
We were booked in as parents in one room and children in the adjacent room, however we ended up with an adult & child per room as the locks on the doors proved a little complicated. 
Wonderfully comfortable beds, pillows and bedding. Well appointed rooms and beautiful decor. Spotlessly clean at all times and the charming cleaner turned down the beds twice a day. 
Well located for the old town. And the ice cream shop....mmmmmm
So much nicer than any of the bigger resorts. We travelled to beautiful beaches with ease and on a windier day paid about £5pp to use the pool and facilities at the massive Lighthouse hotel just out of town. Best of both worlds!!
Breakfast was fine - fresh fruit and bread, but it was all about the freshly cooked egg hopper. Even the coffee was good. 
Would love to go back again.
