Top Galle Face Beach Hotel Reviews

Cinnamon Grand Colombo

10/10 Excellent

"everything was very nice, great location"

ITC Ratnadipa, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Colombo

10/10 Excellent

"Incredible hotel, Erenga at reception was really lovely and helped us sort out an issue with our room. The customer service was unmatched. The breakfast was also phenomenal!"

Cinnamon Lakeside Colombo

10/10 Excellent

"I had a wonderful short stay at this hotel. The property was very well maintained, and the staff were exceptionally friendly and welcoming. I especially enjoyed the delicious food at the poolside restaurant and its relaxing setup. I would happily stay here again."

Taj Samudra

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay, lovely food , great hospitality. Rgds"

Granbell Hotel Colombo

8/10 Good

"Rooms were clean and okay sized for the price. Buffet breakfast had many options and the views were fantastic. The main annoying aspect was the lifts - the building has too many floors to be serviced by 4 lifts. It was quite difficult at times to get up and down. My feedback would be to adjust the lifts so they're dedicated to specific set of floors"

The Kingsbury Colombo

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed briefly at the Kingsbury and our overall experience was fantastic. It's central location is great for exploring Colombo if your trip is short and the actual hotel and food is fantastic. Our room was spacious and clean, and had a great view. The only minor issue is that staff weren't communicative at the restaurants about how to order or the expectation for the buffet/high tea or settling the bill. It was slightly awkward trying to figure out whether we could just grab food or we had to wait etc. It'd be nice if staff provided direction."

Zest Metropole

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely hotel and great staff."

Courtyard By Marriott Colombo

10/10 Excellent

"Best"

Shangri-La Colombo

10/10 Excellent

"Great location! It’s connected to a shopping mall. Room is clean and gorgeous. We’d like to come back soon."
