The staff were friendly and helpful, and the public areas such as the terrace restaurant are amazing. Although we only stayed one night, we were allowed to take our room from 8am due to an early flight arrival. The rooms are mixed - we were initially in the classic wing, with a slightly faded but very large room. However it... more

We stayed at this hotel with friends for 2 nights when we first arrived in Sri Lanka and for one night before leaving. When we arrived the first time we had been delayed for 4 hours in Doha so were very late arriving. The hotel was bursting at the seams as there were 3 big weddings going on. We had... more

Mixed feelings about this one. Our stay was from 30th Dec to 2nd Jan. We stayed in the new Regency section in a room with a jaccuzi and 2 terraces which was lovely, with fantastic views overlooking the pool area and the ocean. As was the spa - would recommend Apple and the 2 and a half hour 'package' of... more

We stayed in the old wing of the Galle Face Hotel, which was hugely disappointing. We reserved our room on the understanding that we would be in the "heritage" part of the hotel which to us implied slightly faded grandeur. This, however, was not the case. The rooms were pretty grubby and had all the charm of a 1970s old-folks... more

As part of my flight package got one night free in Galleface. I have a flat in Colombo, but as it was free I took the option up. Hotel in the old part is just basically a 2-3star. even their premier rooms are still similar class. Very Large and grandeur room - however its old and quaint -some people may... more

We stayed for 3 nights in the old section, we had a corner room on the top floor, with views over Galle Face - magic! The room was HUGE, and, yes, it wasn't 5 star, but I didn't mind one bit. The bathroom is old, needs a renovation, but thats OK, as the atmosphere of the place is enchanting. The... more

Stayed here with my husband and our two friends for only one evening. We got a late check-out and reservation with one of the restaurants on the premises w/o any hassle. The night we were there, a homecoming was happening on the lawn, so there was limited seating for cocktails. Breakfast buffet was ALRIGHT. Very much an English breakfast, but... more

This was our 3rd visit to the Galle Face Hotel and we were not disappointed. We stayed in the Classic wing of the hotel which is very charming and full of character. If you want 5*, you can stay over in the Regency wing. We opted for the "Executive" room which gives you partial sea views. I love the location... more

Stayed in the Classic (original) wing - huge rooms and plenty of amenities. The hotel is very much as it has (over 20 years) always been. Daily wedding and other events make it a noisy place to stay so beware! Then returned to stay in the new Regency wing - it has a spa, smaller rooms - with not so... more
