Galle Face Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"First rate updated bathroom. Room was nicely renovated. Ocean view room worth extra. Breakfast on oceanfront veranda was bliss. Walking distance to mall convenient. Air conditioning great in room. Bar restaurant also had air con. Heat at outdoor veranda oppressively hot in evening—my opinion Recommend this place highly "
