Top Galle Face Beach Hotel Reviews

Shangri-La Colombo

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect stay. Highly recommend"

Galle Face Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great location very close to shopping mall and walk along " the Lawn" a popular walk along the sea front at sunset. Hotel has so much history with it being the first and therefore the oldest hotel in Sri Lanka. It is beautifully restored and has 4 restaurants. A great buffet for breakfast afternoon tea and dinner. The King of the Mambo is an amazing bar right on the sea front. A great place to watch the waves crash before you 50 m away! Vishnu one of the bar team was excellent. Reserved a table for us each night and remembered our drinks! Swimming pool is huge right on the indian ocean. We had a relaxing full body massage which was fabulous. We got a balcony room at the front of the hotel which had great views. The room was large, big shower and separate toilet. Lots of wardrobe space and drawers. We would not hesitate to recommend this hotel and give it 11 out of 10!"

Cinnamon Life - Residencies, Colombo

2/10 Terrible

"We checked in smoothly with a friendly reception team. The first night started on a rough note. The Wi-Fi wouldn’t connect for about 3.5 hours. The TV remote issue was addressed after 4.5 hours when the owner sent a replacement via courier, noting previous tenants may have taken it. Black mould was found in one bathroom, and while the owner offered maintenance for the next day, we declined for safety reasons due to chemical exposure and black mould spread to belongings. He was cooperative and responsive about these concerns. By bedtime, it became clear the environment wasn’t livable for health and safety reasons. The left bedroom had dirty, disgusting stains on bedsheets and pillowcases; instead of replacing them, pillows were flipped to conceal the stains. The living room A/C vents showed black mould. On 28/05 around 5:15 pm, we decided to check out early and secured alternative accommodation. Communication after departure was challenging. I messaged the owner at 12:32 am on 29/05 with issues and photographic evidence, requesting written confirmation to authorize Expedia to refund the unused night. No reply was received, and I couldn’t find partial-refund support via the virtual agent. I am happy to disclose the photographic evidence upon request. This stay had the potential to be amazing, but safety concerns and unresolved issues prevented us from enjoying it. We would appreciate a timely resolution and clearer communication for future guests."
