"A Perfect Welcome to Sri Lanka
I stayed at the Galle Face Hotel in Colombo as my first stop after arriving in Sri Lanka, and it was the perfect place to unwind for a couple of days. The location right on the beach is unbeatable — relaxing, scenic, and a great introduction to the country.
The rooms were extremely comfortable and beautifully maintained, offering everything I needed for a restful stay. What really stood out, though, was the staff. Everyone I interacted with was warm, professional, and genuinely eager to help. Their exceptional service made the whole experience feel effortless.
Overall, Galle Face Hotel was the ideal start to my journey. I’d definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Colombo."
"It’s the perfect spot to escape the chaos of the city. Plenty of dining options (although expensive) with high quality food. The level of service all around the hotel is over and above expectations. Gym, pool, all great "
