Extremely poor service. Manager Malik and staff Asun were inconsistent in feedback and discussion. hung up the call 3 times while asking for explanation and insisted on USD 100 for upgrade to fix the issue. Presented the worst room with LED lights shining into the room. Avoided the calls to explain or discuss. Choosing to ignore calls were next level immaturity displayed by staff. In a country where service is key this hotel was truly disappointing. One of the worst I've had across the world.

We had a pleasant stay in Galle Face Hotel. The room is beautiful and comfortable. Sufficient A/C and the room is clean. The front desk staff is very helpful and friendly during the check in process.
The breakfast buffet is brilliant - wide range of selections and tasty. Overall it's a good value of money.

As a heritage hotel, it was cleaner and more modern inside than expected. The location was great, right next to the beach and also one Galle face mall.
