Overpriced and theft during stay No accountability
Overall this was the worst quality room and most expensive of our entire Sri Lanka trip. The toilet didn’t flush and the room was extremely small overall. The biggest problem was that on the final morning of our stay, we left the room for two hours to get breakfast and when we returned my backpack was obviously tampered with. My phone charger was outside my bag and had been put inside, with the bag subsequently zipped up. I was disturbed but also didn’t immediately notice anything was missing at the time (computer, camera and other valuables still present) and carried on traveling as our driver was waiting us outside. A few hours after leaving in the next city I noticed $400 of cash was taken from my bag and I realized it had definitely occurred at Mango House during the housekeeping hours. I brought this to the attention of the hotel management and they offered zero apologies. The owner exchanged WhatsApp’s with me and also offered no apologies and continuously said it was my fault for not keeping it in the safe. While I agree maybe I am the idiot, realize I stayed in four other properties during my trip in Sri Lanka and ALL had surveillance cameras. This one did not and had very bad and clumsy locks on the doors, especially given the price of the room. Avoid this place at all costs, if not only for lack of professionalism and accountability on the part of the ownership. Was a regrettable end to 10 fabulous days in Sri Lanka.

Lovely restoration in old fort area
Great location, walk everywhere. Friendly efficient arrival/ check in but room very disappointing. No fresh air ( only internal window to common area). Good breakfast service seated in attractive walled garden. Seems manager not permitted to offer upgrade, even though we were the only guests?

A gem!
We only stayed for one night but wished we could have stayed longer! Mango house is ideally located with the old walls and is so peaceful. It is beautifully decorated and has a very calm atmosphere. The children especially lived the bed on the platform! The breakfast was amazing with a choice of 'full english', continental or traditional Sri Lankan and there was a lot of food. Highly recommended!

Beautiful property in the heart of the fort
This is one of the few hotels within the fort that has a garden, which makes for a lovely place to relax after a long hot day of walking. The staff is wonderful and attentive without being overbearing, and the property has been beautifully maintained. One of the particularly nice touches is the complimentary tea on the ground floor, where there's a table set up with a kettle (and cookies!) for guests to brew their own cups at leisure.

Lovely old house and wonderfully renovated. It is like staying in someone's home. Rooms are great. Fabulous breakfast in the courtyard, where the monkeys come to visit in the morning to eat the mangos growing on the tree. Great staff.
