Disappointing
Historic building, nice view of the water, which is rare in Colombo.
The dining area for breakfast is very oppresive - it is outside, covered and with plenty of fans, but still quite uncomfortable in the humid weather. And with buffet sitting out there, honestly it doesn't even seem foodsafe. I think the hotel could make things a lot more comfortable for their guests if they had an indoor area for breakfast seating - for example, the large indoor event space that is directly across from the outdoor seating area, but seemingly only open in the evenings for weddings, etc. I also didn't like that the charge for early check-in was 75% of what I paid for an entire night.

Beautiful old fashioned charming hotel. Lovely pool and terrace. Delicious breakfast buffet.
The room was noisy at night because of the staff going up and down the stairs.

Amazing hotel. Super clean with beautiful pool area and right on the beach. Location is also amazing next to Galle Face Green and not far from the mall. Staff were all lovely and helpful
The buffet was not the best weve had but there are four restaurants to choose from!

Staff. Food. Relaxing in the bar. Tradition.
The wood surround to the pool. Broken and difficult to walk on.

Lovely older style charming colonial hotel in a good location. Staff are professional.
In Room dining is hit and miss. I ordered a fillet steak the first night was with side salad. Steak was impeccable, salad instead of veggies on the thimble side - could have been larger as it was the only accompaniment. Had ordered mustard and gravy turned up. The next day I ordered Salad Nicoise. The tuna sadly was rancid. I could smell it entering the room however the very sweet waitstaff nor the chef picked this up. Potatoes were undercooked- almost crunchy. The in-room dining personel were very responsive. No refund was offered however a Tiramisu was sent up to gloss over which sadly, was also off. I must stress Colombo is very, very hot at the moment hitting 36 degrees Celsius - extra attention needs to be spot on as would have been delicious. Its dangerous.

This was the third time I stayed at the Galle Face Hotel. I have always enjoyed the scenic views and the hospitality. It is one of those old-school hotels that offer a lot of class and grace. I will definitely return for another stay!
I can't think of anything apart from the service at the sea-facing bar in the low tier. The staff were helpful but would need a bit of training. Those working upstairs were fabulous! On the whole, it was a great experience but a few small things could be improved for an even better experience.
