A MUST STAY

10.0

I have been coming back to the Galle Face Hotel every time I come to Sri Lanka! It is such a lovely welcome for when I arrive or leave Sri Lanka. The staff are incredibly helpful and charming, I have never had a mediocre experience here it has always been superb. Such a lovely hotel with such character and history, I can't think of anywhere else I would stay in Sri Lanka. I am planning to book again this coming January. Can't wait to come back again. THANK YOU SO MUCH?
