“A wonderful way to see old world Colombo and experience true Sri Lankan hospitality.”
+We treated ourselves to a night at Galle Face Hotel for our last night in Sri Lanka and we weren't disappointed. We were pleased to be given an upgrade to an Ocean View room by the lovely front desk staff, Ivoni, Belinda and Maduka made us feel very special and welcome. The dinner and breakfasts were fantastic and very reasonably priced considering the location and quality. We will strongly recommend the Galle Face Hotel experience to any friends visiting Colombo in future.

“Very memorable”
+Dharshi was great and very helpful and almost all chefs spoke to me and asked if I was happy with the buffet. Karvindhya looked after us so well seeing to our needs during breakfasts. Both breakfast and dinners were excellent. Thanks for your hospitality Cheers Dayani

“After that it was comfortable.”
+Charming and the breakfast is very homely
−First room they given me is very bad .long walk and steps and and isolated. Bath inside the shower and and getting in to the bath was very difficult no steps and very high. After I complained next day they changed me to a room with shower only and next to the lift.

“Excellent property needs a little love”
+I love staying at Galle Face but it is also looking run down and in need of upliftment
−The toilets for guests in the outdoor bar as well as those connected to the 1864 bar were disgustingly dirty and smelly and i couldnt believe how run down they were

“Perfect”
+The upgrade to a large balcony right on the ocean front was a fantastic start to a really enjoyable stay in such a treasure of a hotel. There is nothing you could want for. Great place to unwind after 2,222km driving a tuktuk around the entire country.

“If you’re asthmatic or sensitive to musty odour…”
+The beautiful seafront and its amazing sunset
−1. Better effort can be put in to keep the air vents from the AC free of clumps of dust and thus musty smell. The room we had was a recently renovated room. Other rooms offered were in same or worse off state. 2. The room we had should not be marketed as a seaview room. Half the view was taken up by a huge room and carpark

“Brilliant staff and accommodation in a great location.”
+The Galle Face Hotel is a gorgeous place with lots of history. We were made to feel welcome as soon as the car we arrived and had the doors opened. The hotel tour was given by a lovely hostess called Sanjana who despite only being there a short time had a great knowledge of the buildings history. Directed by the customer services manager they did a great job. All of the staff were polite and attentive and I would definitely recommend staying at the Galle Face Hotel.
−There is nothing negative about the Galle Face Hotel.
