An extensive range of scrumptious breakfast options was on offer, and the personnel were cordial and attentive. Although the room was tidy and roomy, it did not meet the expectations of a five-star hotel. Additionally, the outdoor balcony was unclean and subpar. It would have been preferable if the balcony was maintained to a higher standard. However, I was thoroughly pleased with the location, which was superb.

Great location...good value for money...very good breakfast buffet. Food and restaurant choice is good and reasonably priced. Staff made the difference very friendly..helpful and professional.Pool , health club are great... a great selection of in room TV and news channels are also available .The hotel has alot of history going back to 1864 and their in house museum is well worth a visit. The daily 6pm taking down the flag ceremony with the piper in full kilt Uniform playiing his bagpipes is iconic and a must see.There Christmas decorations were incredible.

The Galle Face Hotel in Colombo is a true gem, with historic charm. From the grand lobby to the breathtaking views of the Indian Ocean, every moment feels like a journey through time. What sets this hotel apart is the perfect location, the historic building and the outstanding staff—friendly, attentive, and dedicated to ensuring a memorable stay. The diverse dining options showcase exquisite local and international cuisine in a beautyful setting on the waterfront. I also loved the seawater pool and the pool bar which serves very good snacks.

The Galle Face is one of the oldest hotels on the sub-Continent. It is a little faded by comparison to a modern luxury hotel, but has bags of charm and character to make up for that. I was upgraded on arrival to a newly refurbished room which was very comfortable - excellent bathroom, for instance. The real joy of this hotel is its location, next to Galle Face (i..e a big greensward fringing the Indian Ocean and its seawater swimming pool is hard to beat, either. The verandah restaurant is smartly done but with echoes of yesteryear and the buffet breakfast (included) was superb.

The Galle Face Hotel is steeped in History and lives up to it's name. The room was very spacious and comfortable making our stay of 4 nights a relaxed one. There are 4 main restaurants in the Hotel and we tried 3 of them which all offered a great menu choice and each a different experience. Whilst sitting eating your meal and sipping on your cold drink you can watch the Indian Ocean roll in and hear the waves hit the shore not far from where you are sitting. The staff were very helpful at all times and even arranged a Tuk Tuk for us to do a 2 days guided tour of the city and visiting all the places of interest. Shopping is great in Colombo.
