Galle Face Hotel

Galle Face Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"This is a magnificent building with a great history. The location is amazing overlooking the ocean and adjacent to Galle Face Green where you can observe the sunset and watch the locals flying their kites. The facilities are very good especially the saltwater pool, ideal for lap swimming. The breakfast and other dining options are of the highest quality."
