The website really doesn’t do the hotel justice - we would have stayed longer had we known how amazing it is. The whole experience from start to finish was stunning - we loved this hotel.

This is a generally excellent hotel. No more on that need be said. You won't be disappointed. Except that the breakfast tea is terrible. There is just one thing that we noticed on our last day. Breakfast is from 7am, our taxi was a 0730, a fairly typical departure time with either a flight or busy day scheduled. So, any hotel guest who is there right on 7am is likely to be on a short timescale. The hotel should recognise this, and the staff should be aware. It felt like nobody was really interested in offering any service until it was too late. No shortage of politeness and smiles! - just glacially slow service until someone got the message and barked a few orders.

Staff are warm and very friendly and they showcased the Sri Lankan hospitality. The Sri Lankan food served at the hotel was very delicious. But, I would've preferred a few more options.

Terrible check-in experience. We reached the property at around 2 pm. We were made to wait for an hour before one room was given. The other room was given half an hour thereafter. The rooms are not sound-proof. The noise from the corridors come into the room. The is no peace in the hotel. Too much chaos and it can be felt in the rooms. The food at Lorenzo is average. The pizzas there are not good. The good things - The staff is courteous and nice. The buffet breakfast is good. Great variety of food. The Sri Lankan cuisine at buffet is good. Overall stay experience - average. Did not enjoy Galle and the hotel was a big contribution to this bad experience in Galle.

Upscale resort, but not as service oriented at the restaurant as at the hotel itself. Rooms are marvelous as well as housekeeping and bell staff, but restaurant below standards in service. Great buffet, something for everyone.. but I had two breakfast meals there, four cups of tea or coffee and each of the four times, I had to waive waitstaff down to get it to my table. That’s unacceptable.

The hotel is beautifully designed (by Geoffrey Bawa architect) and as far as I’m aware, totally unique in its style which is simple and elegant. The location is stunning. The building is kept spotless. The paintings, artefacts etc are all tasteful and in just the right place. Our room and balcony - and view - were gorgeous. There seemed to be a lot of staff - all helpful and friendly. Most had good English but we had difficulty communicating with a few - despite their willingness. We had a bad experience our first night with room service. Waited ages and the pizza we ordered was dreadful. All went uphill thereafter with brilliant breakfasts and excellent dinners - eating mainly Sri Lankan food. They light candles around the building at night making everything look beautiful. I should say, it was very under capacity when we were there (due to people not travelling because of the Corona virus) so there were probably more staff than usual per person to look after us. We loved our time there.
