    Having been here a couple of days, appreciate its understated colonial elegance, wonderful 30m saltwater pool and having a king coconut while watching the beautiful sunset. Mostly warm friendly staff

    The Hotel's museum harbours many artefacts that depict the rich and colourful history of the Galle Face Hotel through the years. Proudly displayed is the car used by Prince Philip in Colombo.

    The food is superb! 1894 restaurant specially. Service is excellent too. Has a nice retro, historical vibe and plenty of pedigree in its history to back it all up. Love this. Amazing seascapes.

    A castle-like hotel by the shores. The sound of waves is so musical. You can smell the breeze. The restaurant's view is fabulous. Though i didn't try it. I was passing by

    Love love love - if you can stay here, do it! Best breakfast and pool set up is great. Gym is a little smallish. Lovely rooms and I'd come back to Sri Lanka just for this hotel!!

    The old world charm of the Galle Face Hotel is unrivalled. Its unique location gives the hotel a distinct advantage of being a city hotel with the setting of a beachside resort.

    Slow, inattentive service with food less than average. I expected so much more from a luxurious and expensive (relative to what SL has to offer) place like this.
