Galle Face Hotel Colombo

I visited the galle face Galle Face Hotel Colombo for one night and to say the least, the experience was top-notch while maintaining the old school charm. I was greeted with warmth and assisted throughout the check-in process. Guests were also served refreshing welcome drinks. Mr Siddique and mr Vasantha made my stay even more memorable by surprising me with an upgrade to a junior suite. For someone visiting sri Lanka for the first time that too alone, getting an upgrade to a room that has a panoramic view of the ocean as well as the Galle Face Hotel Colombo was the best welcome gift ever. Words couldn't define how beautifully the room was designed! from tall ceilings to wooden flooring, ocean view from the bed and bathroom, the room took me years back to a time when esteemed writers/actors/ministers would visit the Galle Face Hotel Colombo for a break and inspirations. One could not only hear the waves crashing against the shore but also experience the rich history of distinguished guests who had stayed in this beautiful property. The breakfast was nice though their could be a little more variety. Apart from the room the other two high points was enjoying my luncheon at the veranda h and sipping through a fine prosecco at the travelers bar. Also being able to see the prince phillip's car was an added bonus. All through the staff was extremely attentive and the service was fantastic. Mr siddique and mr wasantha on an overall level ensured that i have a wonderful and memorable stay at the galle face Galle Face Hotel Colombo. The little things that matter- while checking out one of the staff member also booked me a pick me up car to my next destination as i didn't have the app. To anyone travel-ling to this Galle Face Hotel Colombo, i would just say, visit this place for not just their hospitality but for an experience that's defines sri lanka's culture, vibe and history to an extent. Absolutely delightful!

Privileged to have stayed in such an iconic sri lanka heritage property ! very welcoming staff, beautiful property! rooms are so spacious and well maintained ! the grounds facing the indian ocean are breathtaking! we enjoyed the tour of the history of the Galle Face Hotel Colombo by the lovely mr siddique and got to witness the bagpipes ceremony in the evening ! breakfast buffet is sumptuous and has so many choices ! we enjoyed both the continental and the sri lanka breakfasts ! looking forward to staying here again on our next visit

Even though I was told that the Galle Face Hotel Colombo was recently renovated, and the public areas in the Galle Face Hotel Colombo did look like it was new, however, the room was quite dated. Otherwise, the food was good, the service was also good, the location was excellent, right at the ocean front and very relaxing atmosphere. It would have been good to have some more restaurant options for lunch. Visited in February for a short 2 day trip. Would love to come back.

This is a historical Galle Face Hotel Colombo, quaint and i'm sure very difficult to maintain, so be prepared for some of the issues that you may face with an aging property. Also, though t he staff is very friendly it's not very efficient, but they do try their best to please. It's the best location in colombo and it has two awesomely located bars and a lovely verandah restaurant. All in all it's the perfect Galle Face Hotel Colombo for a memorable stay in colombo.

Clean comfortable rooms. Excellent ocean view from front dining area. Friendly, cheerful and helpful staff. Room has a safe locker for safe keeping of your valuables. Royalty, film stars/musicians, international athletes, world renowned political figures have all stayed here for over a century. Great place with a great history. Would definitely recommend staying at the Galle Face Hotel.

A Grand Hotel with great service. They have a Musium showing past guests like Che, david lean, gregory pack, donald Bradman, sir arthur conan doyle and so on. They serve with smile. An excellent breakfast spread, beautiful location. The room allotted to me was not Sea or garden facing. There was a small issue with wifi facility. But still a lovely place to be there.

Terrific Galle Face Hotel Colombo .. No wonder the who list is a long one in terms of people who have stayed. Stunning view of the ocean ( do take a sea facing room .. Completely worth it). The lazy breakfast and tea facing the Ocean is to die for. Very well located for other top attractions - fort, dutch hospital ( try the ministry of crab), noretake outlet, etc.

I would love to come again and again because of staff and specially gm mr. Siddhi is very humbled i must say people appreciate him and love him because he is too good and kind also very down to earth. His staff love him because he takes care of everyone and his behaviour is so good that i can’t explain in words. Bless you sir

I booked a room using MMT and made advance payment. At the time of check-in, the Galle Face Hotel Colombo asked to share credit card details which I felt unnecessary and therefore I didn't do. I feel the Galle Face Hotel Colombo doesn't believe the customers that they will settle the bills at the time of check-out.

Hotel for the value you pay. I was there for a day and loved the sea side restaurant and the great infrastructure they have maintained with the old charm still intact. The food was bit pricy, however its okay when you compare it with number of meals you eat there. They could make the breakfast as complimentary.

The Galle Face Hotel Colombo is centrally located and a heritage property but with all modern amenities. The rooms are well appointed and the view from the balcony overlooks the Indian ocean. The breakfast spread is just to die for and this Galle Face Hotel Colombo has a salt water pool which is quite unique.

Amazing location and a beautiful property. They have restored the old, colonial charm of the place, which makes it stand out. About the rooms - we stayed in the superior room and found it a bit too small, however it had a spacious bathroom! Staff is friendly and courteous. On the whole, had a pleasant stay!

You cant get a more cozier Galle Face Hotel Colombo with great staff and ambience than this one. Access to tuk tuks and main road all in one place.

Loved the place, services, and staff. Highly recommend. The place is very nice with the beach facing view and is exactly the same as shown in the images.

Beautiful Galle Face Hotel Colombo with amazing view and services.

I am happy with my family. Relaxing holiday and fun. Enjoying.

An excellent place to stay in at any time. Very friendly staff and clean and spacious rooms and great breakfasts. Vegetarians please make own arrangements for lunch and dinners as not much available in the Hotel for them.

The Galle Face Hotel Colombo is located in the best place. It has a history associated with it. Food, beach, swimming pool, spa, bar, ambience, staff and many more that are at their best to give best experience.

Beautiful location, heritage Galle Face Hotel Colombo, friendly staff. Have to bear in mind restaurants close by 10. 30 pm and then the only option is room service.

Undoubtedly the best location in entire Colombo... Good service and courteous staff.. Only drawback no Indian food available but nearby restaurants make up for it. Adjacent to Galle Face Greens and opposite Taj Samudra nor far from major attractions in Colombo.

We were all pleased with most of the thing offered by The Hotel. Will be back soon

Evening are beautiful, view of the sea shore sitting next to the restaurant is lovely, perfect location to de-stress from work routine, heritage tour arranged by staff was also fun.

Good stay but don’t book standard rooms

It was a great value for money. It was a very regal kind of setting. The only one issue is if you are a vegetarian there is not enough choices in food. But then that’s the case everywhere. We had a great time there.

Hi, It was my first visit to Sri Lanka ka and Galle face Galle Face Hotel Colombo made it memorable. Awesome location it has, awesome rooms, lots of variety in food and above all the staff is very helpful. It is a must visit place for anybody going to Sri Lanka with an ocean view at a side.
