Having been here a couple of days, appreciate its understated colonial elegance, wonderful 30m saltwater pool and having a king coconut while watching the beautiful sunset . Mostly warm friendly staff

Understated old style colonial elegance, sophistication and luxury with pampering service and a boutique feel. Fab breakfast buffet , pool and great waterfrontocation.

The food is superb! 1894 restaurant specially. Service is excellent too. Has a nice retro , historical vibe and plenty of pedigree in its history to back it all up. Love this. Amazing seascapes.

A castle-like hotel by the shores. The sound of waves is so musical . You can smell the breeze. The restaurant 's view is fabulous. Though i didn't try it. I was passing by

Love love love - if you can stay here, do it! Best breakfast and pool set up is great. Gym is a little smallish. Lovely rooms and I'd come back to Sri Lanka just for this hotel !!

A lovely colonial hotel in the heart of the city . Staying here is truly an experience!

The old world charm of the Galle Face Hotel is unrivalled. Its unique location gives the hotel a distinct advantage of being a city hotel with the setting of a beachside resort .

Best view over the sea, sunset beach . Close to the center. All set in real colonial style from 1864. Renovation at the moment.

Beautiful hotel ! Their restaurant at the front beach has very good options to eat, and the view is breathtaking.

The best thing to hold onto in life is each other.....celebrate Valentine's day at the Galle Face Hotel - 1864 Restaurant from 7.30 pm onwards.

The terrace at sunset

Slow, inattentive service with food less than average. I expected so much more from a luxurious and expensive (relative to what SL has to offer) place like this.

Good Morning Everyone!!! Wish you all a fabulous day.

Pancakes served (promo) aren't out of this world, but the creme brûlée was yum! :)

Buffet is really good!
