"About 30 minutes by taxi from the airport. The pool is amazing. The room is a bit worn, but the overall experience made up for it — the restaurant is a gem. It offers lots of food options and a peaceful atmosphere with views of the garden and lagoon. The pool is also very beautiful and well-maintained. Definitely worth a stay. ホテルの真ん中にあるプールがとても素敵。きちんと管理されていて綺麗です。部屋の構造が少し変わっているかも。お庭を見ながら楽しめるレストランが良かったです。"

"Other hotels might try to emulate the Galle Face with their modern colonial architecture but they do not have the same authenticity. With over 100 years experience in hospitality this hotel provides excellent service and superior accommodation. From the welcome given by the concierge service in their liveried cream jackets to the professional lifeguards at the 30m seawater pool, you are at once treated to an unforgettable stay here. Big thank you to Sujith for sorting out our upgrade and to Adja...
