Gorgeous colonial hotel by the beach. Easy to get to and head out to cafes and restaurants around the neighborhoods. Even better, just stay in and enjoy the resort.

A s usual everything was good here, however I must comment strongly about the very dangerous flooring round about the swimming pool, several people including myself have tripped over it and fallen down it really is disgrace and needs to be replaced immediately

The historical herritance hotel is full of nice polished wood staircases and floor, which some of them are carpeted. Classy. Service from front desk, porters, bar and restaurant servers, and spa are all subtle and nice. The English level here is generally better than other places I visited in Sri Lanka, though there is room for enhancement on English of some staff on the phone. Room is spacious and clean. I love the large windows that can be opened and allows sea breeze to draw into the room. This hotel is a quiet and safe place to enjoy the view of the Indian Ocean. You can see the fireworks lighted at the Colombo Port. Yet there are places require replacement, such as the bathtube leaking and the ceiling of one of the staircases.
About the food here, I would recommend the samosa and spring rolls rather than cakes and sandwiches. I didn't try the grill. Tea and coffee just average.

Sri Lanka is a lovely place to visit and very cheap for foreign tourists. But maybe, like us, you want to stay at somewhere that's really fancy on your first couple of nights to acclimatise to the hustle, bustle and humbug of people offering you accommodation and rides everywhere... especially if your plane arrives at something like midnight. Galle Face Hotel was a lovely place to stay. Wonderfully elegant interior, courteous and helpful staff, a short ride from anywhere and to the local buses if you're ready to brave them and also a very lively esplanade at night where locals eat street food with family, fly kites and kick around soccer balls until the early hours.

I went there thinking it was a historic hotel, but I was disappointed from the lobby.
The lobby was very hot and the room was full of old and broken items.
The hotel corridor was dark and the floor creaked when I walked on it, so I was afraid that a monster would come out.
And because there were few guests, the dinner buffet was not operated.
The dinner menu was expensive and tasteless.
Fortunately, breakfast was a buffet, so I was happy.
However, the omelet was too salty and burned.
I really hate that kind of food.
This hotel does not do what customers order.
The only good thing about this hotel is its location.
In order to increase cost-effectiveness, it seems that the price of the hotel should be lowered or the interior should be changed to a modern one so that the price is higher.
Change is needed anyway.
I will never look for this hotel again.
And I wouldn't recommend it to anyone around me.

The hotel is in a good location and the service is very user-friendly. Because the hotel has a history of more than 100 years, it is expected that the facilities are a bit old. All in all, the price/performance ratio is very good. I will continue to stay here next time.
