An excellent, excellent stay at the Galle Face Hotel. The staff were so kind and attentive, especially the entire guest relations team of Darshi, Viduni, Kithara, Dinushi, and Ivoni, who surprised us with a gorgeous setup for our anniversary, and Kenan who gave us a special hotel 'heritage tour.' We stayed 2 days, but the kids were so sad to leave. The breakfast was expansive and delicious, and the swimming pool is apparently the only hotel salt pool in Sri Lanka. The sunset viewing area is beautiful and just everything about this hotel was wonderful.

A great hotel overlooking the Indian Ocean in central Colombo was a haven on peace in a busy city. The onsite restaurants were excellent with attentive and efficient service, in particular, breakfast was a pleasant and varied meal served on the terrace overlooking the ocean, a great start to the day. Reception staff very helpful, organised the taxi to the airport with no problems. Generally a very clean welcoming and well run hotel.

Our first experience of Sri Lanka and historic Galle Face Hotel was outstanding well managed and maintained to high quality. All the staff from reception to pool were amazing so helpful and courteous.
The buffet restaurant is amazing Salt water Pool! It is about 50 mins from airport about 3 hours to Sigiriya and Dambulla for the rock fortress. We loved it!

Historical property with friendly staff and great views overlooking the sea. Some areas and the room felt quite tired. The quality of the breakfast and dinner buffets was not great.

I had mixed interactions with the staff. Some were warm and welcoming, others did not make me feel welcome or a valued guest at all, including the first point of contact at reception. The spa staff were amazing and run a quality experience which is excellent value for money. The lifeguards were excellent as were the staff in 1864 fine dining experience. The concierge lady assigned to me said she would make a dinner reservation for me but when I arrived for the buffet dinner for me on my first night, there was no reservation. The staff kindly found me a table and brought drinks then they came and apologised and said I had to move because the table was reserved. The same lady concierge gave me her number which seemed standard and said to ask her anything. I did ask her a question via WhatsApp messaging and it took her 24hours to reply. Housekeeping left a cleaning product in the shower. The buffet food was good and 1864 restaurant very good food. The breakfast had lots of variety and was enjoyable.

Ac:n funkade inte riktigt, satte ned den till 16 grader för att kyla ner men det alldrig kallare än 23,5 grader vilket är rent för mycket för oss. En del av personalen i poolbaren verkade lite för mycket intresserade av sin telefon än att servera/serva kunderna, man var väldigt snabbt framme när det kom ett gäng snygga tjejer än när vi 50+ kom och ville beställa. Gillade inte att det var en saltvattenpool, känns lite ofräscht.

The hotel is a masterclass in shabby chic - old world charm that’s perhaps a little frayed at the edges but wonderful staff and great service make up for all of that. Oceanside pool with a great poolside bar and restaurant, breakfast on the veranda - you feel like you’ve stepped back in time. Wonderful stay

This is a beautiful historical hotel with charming colonial architecture that really gives the place a unique character. The buffet breakfast was also excellent, with a wide variety of options and good quality overall.
However, the biggest drawback was the condition of the room. It was not well maintained, with a strong humidity smell that could be quite uncomfortable—especially for anyone with allergies. There were also signs of wear and tear, including broken furniture in the bathroom, which was disappointing.
It’s worth noting that other parts of the hotel appeared to be in much better condition, so it seems like the section we were assigned to may not reflect the overall standard. With some refurbishment and better upkeep, this hotel could truly return to its former shine.
