What was the highlight of Galle Face Hotel
Gorgeous hotel, staff training needed for bar and restaurant.
An iconic hotel that delivers on every level of luxury and traditional opulence … until it comes to restaurant and Firebeach staff … Pool area needs an overhaul, decking area dangerous. Pool toilets some of the worst in the Capital.
Poor service from restaurant and Firebeach staff was very disappointing. Drinks forgotten, reservation ’missing’, service slow, basic requests misunderstood. Training is needed here - you should not rely on your reputation alone.

What was the highlight of Galle Face Hotel
great service and location in a very old structure.
service was impeccable. staff were helpful and friendly. hotel has a great view and location too, right next to the beach. it's a heritage hotel, so it's definitely old. it's historically significant and is rich with stories of course, with a gallery on level 2 showcasing all that. it's a short walk away from one galle face, an upscale mall. breakfast is awesome.
i'm not one for old hotels (dislike the old amenities) and would much prefer staying at new, modern ones. had to stay here due to business. the key and lock doesn't work properly. i had trouble opening my door every time and had to get help from the staff sometimes. my room was facing the sea and beach bar and it was quite noisy at night because the windows are not soundproof. you can also hear what's happening in the next room, upstairs, and outside, quite clearly. therefore, i didn't sleep very well. if noise affects you, choose a room facing away from the sea.

Historical gem . Rooms a little tired.
Beautiful old hotel with a long history - the little museum (including Prince Philip’s first car) is very interesting. Our room was a little tired but with old- world charm. The breakfast and welcome from the staff was exceptional. The salt water pool was super - long and relatively deep from end to end. Great for adults. Superb place to watch the sunset.
The smallest double bed in Sri Lanka! Some updates due for the room & bathroom but very clean. The bar by the pool serves food - beware, the service charge is not included in the menu prices (as was the case in all of the other places we have stayed) . (Shame the neon words on the mural beside the pool were not all lit as designed- looked tacky & uncared for). My fish had been cooked twice ( it was verging on burnt and very hard crumb ), whilst my husband’s was fine. Maybe just trying to get away with it . They did cook me a fresh piece, which was very nice, but it meant we ate at different times. No apology though or any gesture of recompense. The hotel has a huge throughput of guests so I guess they don’t need to.

Wonderful
Pool area was excellent. Room was lovely. Bar was very comfortable
Slightly damp, mustiness in the room. One day, lunch at the pool took far far too long to arrive.
