A place with a history. Stayed at Galle Face Hotel twice and visited the cafes and restaurants of the hotel many times during my stays in Sri Lanka. Good rooms, staff was helpful and nice in general. Great location. Close to other hotels and shopping malls if you are in Colombo for the weekend or a short stay I highly recommend.

One of the best hotels by the sea and also which has kept its colonial touch intact. Visited by many hollywood celebrities, known faces across the globe. Excellent lunch buffet by the sea. Food is awesome here. Clear blue sea view is a USP if this hotel. Excellent service by the staff. Definitely a must go if you visit Colombo

Nice sea side seating. Enjoy the breeze and the sea view while you talk with your partner with chilled beer.

One of the oldest hotels in Colombo. Very well maintained and courteous staff.

Nice place to chill out.

Stepped off the train at Colombo Fort just as the heavens opened. Tried to get a cab in the carnage of a tropical downpour which then took half a hour to exit the station car park. Finally arrived here at the hotel which is an oasis of calm and serenity. It oozes charm and character. From the vast open veranda restaurant to the bagpipes ceremony every sunset. The Sea Spray restaurant deserves its name as it serves wonderful fresh seafood whilst the ocean crashes just in front of you. I know we should probably be exploring the sights and sounds and busyness of Colombo out there - but right now I can’t bear to leave this hotel.

Had the breakfast buffet. Better than most 6
5 stars. The sea spray restaurant is also one of the best seafood restaurants in town. Rooms in the newly refurbished 'old wing' are really nice

Beautiful hotel. Great bar that over looks the water by the pool. The service at the bar was pretty slow, though. It's also across the street from some delicious street food.

Had a drink in the evening overlooking the sea. Unfortunately it was cloudy, so didn't get to see the sunset. But the view was still good. Great atmosphere in the hotel. Had an old colonial feel to the building. Service at the outdoor cafe was acceptable. Service in the hotel was poor.

We did not get to stay here but attended a function. I will start with the bad stuff and finish with the many good features.

The food is okay, looks amazing but lacks the balance of flavours that I would expect in such a place. When I say balance, the flavours in the food does not compliment other items on the plate that well. Dessert was full of amazing flavours, but rather than work together, I just felt that they were added at random, an issue which was also the case with my main course. However when it came to my soup, as it was in essence just one dish, that was fantastic.

The organisation of the function was let down by one error, but the staff were superb at helping to correct it. Which brings me onto a major asset to the hotel. It is a beautiful building with a breathtaking view of the sea. But the service the staff give is even better. While the food was as noted before, okay for the setting, the service was exceptional. The staff are an asset to the hotel and should be treasured.

We had booked a table for high tea, arrived on time but had to wait for half an hour before the eateries arrived.By then we had reminded the staff several times. A butler seemed to take our complaint seriously and headed for the kitchen, but came back without reporting to us, and still nothing happened. After a while we turned to a lady who seemed responsible for receiving guests. She too went to the kitchen, and this time the scones and cakes arrived. However the tea did not, and it took another 10 minutes and repeated reminders before we got it. We had booked for five persons but only got food for five, and it was a complicated process to get i rectified.
The hotel is beautiful and the terrace restaurant nice, but boy what service level!

Probably the top hotel in Sri Lanka. This has a few colonial eccentricities - like a bagpiper taking down the flag every day at sunset. But these add to the charm and the history.

If you stay here make sure you find Prince Philips first car which is on the second floor!

The breakfast buffet is the best I've ever had. Make sure you order the hoppers.

Great breakfast spread. Salt water swimming pool. And loads of restaurants at he Hotel. Rooms are comfortable.

An absolutely amazing and historic hotel. Anyone visiting Colombo should definitely spend at least one night here. It's incredibly fancy - I felt like dressing up every time I left my room. The food was of very high quality; both the breakfast buffet and the room service food. And of course, the service was spectacular - they really try to treat you like royalty! Finally, you will be able to take the most amazing sunset pictures from the hotel grounds (see my pics). Recommended!

Elegant and Grand looking place.
Very good for arranging International Conferences as there are plenty of Committee Rooms and main halls.
Food is good and the service to the committee rooms are good.
View of sea and Galleface ground.
Situated close to city center but calm and quiet.

Undoubtedly one of the best hotels in the country. I've been here a number of times and my experience has been equally amazing. Their staff is very professional and food is absolutely delicious. Rooms are of excellent condition and equipped with all the modern facilities. One of my favorites and would definitely recommend to anyone.

One of a few amazing old school hotels in the world. You must stay here when in Sri Lanka. People, staff, food, rooms, service, architecture, ambience. For example: Grab a drink and watch the evening flag ceremony at sunset complete with kilts and bagpipes.
Breakfast buffet is unequalled in size, quality, and variety in all of Sri Lanka. Excellent value too.

Beautifully preserved hotel from 1800's with much of the original building material intact. It has charm like creaking floors and you can feel the vibrations when people in neighboring room are walking around. The view from the room over looking the ocean was stunning and the sounds of the waves crashing lulled us to sleep at night. We kept our windows open to welcome the full experience of the ocean sounds. Since the hotel is genuinely old, I could clearly hear the people talking in the room next to us. The giant park next door is also a really cool experience at night on a weekend with throngs of people enjoying the night air. Hundreds of vendor line the park offering food, drinks, and light up toys.
