This hotel is very well located by the sea in Colombo. There is a very nice walk beside the sea where people have foods and rests. Interesting! The hotel itself is getting old and low level of confort since most of furniture and bed should be changed now. The hotel is clean and the room are big with a nice... More

The view is great but you cannot expect much from an old 5 star hotel which is not rennovated for a long time and running by government. Size is not as big as other 5 star hotels in other cities in Sri Lanka, even some 4 stars offer bigger sizes. Breakfast Ok, bathroom not very clean! internet is not free... More

Rooms - old rooms, ancient TV, size is OK. Bathroom - it took the housekeeping 1 hour to repair a fault in the bathtub. More to this, they came after an hour of followup with the reception and housekeeping. Buffet - Decent breakfast. Dinner was OK as they did not had any Indian chapati or naan, even though they had...

We spent 2 nights at Galadari Hotel during a private tour (selected by our travel agency, last week of December 2011). Galadari is ideally located in the Colombo security area, in front of old parliament and at the beginning of the famous Galle Face Walk. The hotel is supposed to be a 5*-hotel by local standards, which are quite different... More

Although its location is excellent, but it seems like they have not refurbished the hotel since the 80's. Rooms are really worn out and look more like a 2/3 star hotel rooms. Dirty carpet, CRT type TV's, rooms stinking with cigarette smoke etc. Perhaps the only positive was the amazing beach view from the room. For $ 200 / night... More

We were put up in this hotel by Srilankan Airlines due to their incompetency in operating flights on time. The stay was for one whole day (14hrs) out of which initial hours in morning were meant to catch up with sleep. Hoping for the best, we were transported to Galadari from the airport. This hotel is in Colombo city and... More

Galadari, is probably a property selling more of its location than anything else. We were on a refurbished room in the 7th floor so rooms was pretty good with a great view of sea. If you are not specifically very picky about service/quality/food etc the hotel works perfectly as a average functional place to be. Breakfast spread is elaborate ,... More
