You will not be disappointed with Galle Face, but you have to stay in the Regency Wing. My holiday didn't get off to a great start. i arrived on the 6th but Red Dot Tours booked for the 7th. Luckily, the hotel was very attentive and found a solution. Also, the rooms described did not exist....Deluxe Oceanic Friends...there is only... more

I stayed at the Regency wing(i didnt like the old-classic wing).My room had a side sea view and was very cozy comfortable-a perfect way to break the travel exhaustion before starting a hectic trip,or then just to relax. I loved the old colonial feel and white washed facade of the hotel,as well as sitting at night for drinks/coffee at Checkerboard... more

We were a group of 5 in Colombo for 2 weeks on business. We were more than satisfied with Galle Face (specify the Regency Wing). The rooms were clean and large with high ceilings, wood floors. The place has an old fashioned colonial feel. Unlike some international hotels in Colombo, you know you are in Sri Lanka when you stay... more

Wow what a fantastic hotel! I stayed there back in August with my mum. The hotel has two wings which have seperate receptions. We stayed in both!

I was very impressed with... more

We started our tour of Sri Lanka here and it was a wonderful introduction. the rooms are exquisite, the hotel building is fabulous, it is steeped in history and situated right on the beach. The... more

We had booked 2 nights at this famous hotel at the end of our month long travels through Sri Lanka thinking it would be nice to have some luxury at the end. The foyer is very grand and the sunset bar pretty beautiful but when we got taken up to our room we had to laugh. Smelt bad, peeling wallpaper,... more

We stayed 3 nights in the Regency wing at the start of our honeymoon. We were upgraded to a Junior suite which was a lovely big room with huge comfy bed and luxurious bathroom. The only downer was the lack of balcony and sea view. I wrongly assumed when we booked a spa deluxe room that it would have a... more

My husband and I spent our honeymoon in Sri lanka and the Maldives. In Colombo, one of the hotels we stayed at was Galle Face hotel. We had actually popped over to drink some hot chocolate but found the hotel so charming that we moved over from the Taj Samudra. The Galle Face hotel has an imposing entrance but gives... more
