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
A unique experience in a beautiful old hotel
The hotel is beautiful with lots of different areas and restaurants to explore. The staff are friendly and welcoming. I checked in after midnight and this was not a problem. My room was huge and very comfortable. The location on the galle face is great and the views of the ocean are amazing. I spent most of the days I was there in the hotel relaxing by the pool.
There aas music playing very loud late at night until at least midnight, which seemed to be coming from the hotel bar but also another restaurant nearby. the hotel bar The hotel was a little run down in places, the area around the pool had some holes in the pavement which was a bit dangerous.
