I felt relaxed and looked after from the moment we arrived. I loved the ambience and the view from our balcony was superb. Breakfast was a leisurely affair with an excellent array of food. We will definitely stay here again….fabulous spot.

It's a unique landmark hotel in an an unbeatable location with stunning ocean views! Staying here is an unparalleled experience. Some of the rooms are epic in size, and there are lovely common spaces to lounge, read or socialise.

We had booked a room that had a balcony sign on your site but we had to upgrade for a balcony!!

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.

Beautiful old hotel with a long history - the little museum (including Prince Philip’s first car) is very interesting. Our room was a little tired but with old- world charm. The breakfast and welcome from the staff was exceptional. The salt water pool was super - long and relatively deep from end to end. Great for adults. Superb place to watch the sunset.

The breakfast was excellent with Sri Lankan and western varieties. The rooms were spacious and clean. The location was excellent with few steps to the beach. The staff was very friendly and helpful, especially the lady Rathnamali from housekeeping was very helpful.

The room overlooked the center court with a magnificent ocean view. The pool was clean and the attendant was attentive. 50 years since my last visit, when I lived for a month in the Old colonial Gallface. I thought the still visible old charm of dark woods and modern convenient updates mixed well. Loved the new open salt pool, as the old cement salt pool was small and dark with its coverings.
