A nice old classic, charming, grand hotel by the see. Good sized pleasant room - we were upgraded to a suite on the water. Room in good condition. Included breakfast very good. Staff try hard to please.

This is the best place to stay in Colombo. It is the oldest hotel, and retains its grandeur. Clean, spacious rooms, photos of all the luminaries who have stayed here. Wonderful attentive staff. Great good and drinks in multiple venues.

An excellent, excellent stay at the Galle Face Hotel. The staff were so kind and attentive, especially the entire guest relations team of Darshi, Viduni, Kithara, Dinushi, and Ivoni, who surprised us with a gorgeous setup for our anniversary, and Kenan who gave us a special hotel 'heritage tour.' We stayed 2 days, but the kids were so sad to leave. The breakfast was expansive and delicious, and the swimming pool is apparently the only hotel salt pool in Sri Lanka. The sunset viewing area is beautiful and just everything about this hotel was wonderful.
