Nicest place we stayed in Sri Lanka. After many nights with a family all in one room in was so nice to have some space and just look out at the amazing view! Use of the pool was also lovely. Shanuka popped round on the first night to help us with ideas for our visit and has been a great host.

Hotel with a rich history that has made the leap into modern times flawlessly. Featuring colonial-era architecture and furnishings, in the evening the Sri Lankan flag is ceremoniously lowered with uniforms and bagpipes. Service and cuisine meet the standards expected of a hotel of this class today. I felt comfortable here every single moment and can wholeheartedly recommend the Galle Face Hotel for a stay in Colombo.

The breakfast was nicely plated (but the same, same- fruits, eggs, toast), and first place in a long time where they have coffee machine and decent espresso coffee! They also have room service Room was clean, recently renovated and fresh. The bed was comfortable although for me the pillow was too high and big

My extensive experience with high-quality hotels in numerous countries meant I had no particular expectations upon arrival. It is not my custom to compose reviews, as my primary objective is to enjoy my stay. Nevertheless, I was most agreeably surprised by the Hotel Nuwa in City of Dreams. The courteous personnel and management demonstrated remarkable attentiveness in catering to my every requirement. A notably valuable amenity is the provision of a personal butler, designed for guests desiring an indulgent experience.

A cozy hotel situated overlooking the Wellawatta Beach, on Marine Drive. Don't miss the pool on the third floor it has magnificent ocean view. The rooms are quite spacious and bed is very comfortable. I had booked an ocean view and we enjoyed the magnificent sunset.

This hotel probably has one of the best locations in Colombo - It is right on the beachfront. It has an old colonial charm to it. Would highly recommend staying here.
