Beautiful old hotel with great decor inside. Staff is very attentive and helpful. Close to Galle Face and right on the ocean! Dinner and breakfast buffet were amazing!

Extremely poor service. Manager Malik and staff Asun were inconsistent in feedback and discussion. hung up the call 3 times while asking for explanation and insisted on USD 100 for upgrade to fix the issue. Presented the worst room with LED lights shining into the room. Avoided the calls to explain or discuss. Choosing to ignore calls were next level immaturity displayed by staff. In a country where service is key this hotel was truly disappointing. One of the worst I've had across the world.

Wonderful hotel. Kind, friendly, old-fashioned service. Felt like old world luxury and charm updated. Very comfortable. Super restaurants. Plenty of choice.
Spacious rooms. Superb location.
Will stay again.

Отель интересный, с богатой историей, прямо на берегу океана. Из-за близости берега большая влажность в комнате. Обслуживающий персонал приветливый, вежливый, улыбчивый.

This hotel had a great location right in front of the ocean. We booked half board and the buffet was very plentiful, both for dinner and breakfast. The building was prestigious and had a historical feel to it. The staff was very friendly and helpful.
My only disappointment was that the gym was too small for the size of the hotel (only 3 running machines).

We had a pleasant stay in Galle Face Hotel. The room is beautiful and comfortable. Sufficient A/C and the room is clean. The front desk staff is very helpful and friendly during the check in process.
The breakfast buffet is brilliant - wide range of selections and tasty. Overall it's a good value of money.
