Environment: Excellent location, overlooking the Indian Ocean, beautiful scenery.
Facilities: Old and not maintained, broken windows and uneven floors, no shower room in the bathroom, but a bathtub, and it is very high, no comfort at all.
Hygiene: Poor hygiene conditions and incomplete configuration.
Service: Long waiting time for check-in, the room was not ready by two o'clock, and the room we waited for was in poor condition.
At ten o'clock in the evening, there were still people partying on the lawn outside the window, and rock music was blaring. I called customer service, and the customer service offered to change the room instead of stopping the noise. We had to catch an early flight, and refused to change the room, so we had to spend the night in a noisy hotel. I was very dissatisfied with the customer service, and they didn't know how to deal with the problem at all.

The decoration and location of this hotel are satisfactory, and it is much more beautiful than the pictures, but the service is really very, very bad. If you are a Chinese staying here, you must be careful of their different trea**ent. The whole country of Sri Lanka is white, and Chinese people do not need service in their eyes.
First of all, I booked a sea view balcony room. After checking in, we were taken to their basic room (the price was more than 2 times different). Because the booking was for the balcony, we looked around and found no balcony. At this time, I thought they made a mistake. After showing the order to the staff, they took us to a twin-bed small suite, but this room was facing the road and had no sea view. So this time I rushed directly to their front desk and asked to give me the correct room. They reluctantly gave me a sea view balcony room, but it was a twin bed, not the big bed on the order. They said there was no big bed, only twin beds. They didn't even say sorry throughout the whole process, and there was no apology.
Secondly, after staying in Lanka for 7 nights, they were the only hotel that did not actively ask us for tea and coffee for breakfast (I have observed that the white people around will ask about the service when they sit down), and I asked for coffee myself in the end.
In short, although this hotel is beautiful, there are many good hotels in Sri Lanka. Although Sri Lankans do have a bit of white supremacy, they have basic courtesy and none of them are so arrogant and rude. Everyone should avoid this one.

A s usual everything was good here, however I must comment strongly about the very dangerous flooring round about the swimming pool, several people including myself have tripped over it and fallen down it really is disgrace and needs to be replaced immediately

The location of the hotel is very convenient for travel, and the staff are friendly and responsive. The room is clean and tidy, the breakfast selection is rich and the price is very good. I will choose this hotel next time.

The hotel is in a good location and the service is very user-friendly. Because the hotel has a history of more than 100 years, it is expected that the facilities are a bit old. All in all, the price/performance ratio is very good. I will continue to stay here next time.

This is a hotel with a history of 159 years. Various dignitaries and celebrities have stayed here before. If you have time, remember to go to the front desk to book a hotel tour. The staff will show you the museum part of the hotel.
Although the hotel has some old problems, the overall feeling is very good, especially the service staff are very enthusiastic. If you check in on the weekend, remember to avoid the rooms upstairs in the banquet hall, because locals will hold weddings and dances, and the floor will shake. I complained several times, but fortunately Frank at the front desk helped me adjust the room and moved to the other side. alright. Other than that, everything else is good. The hotel is also very impressive. It has a private beach where you can ride the waves and watch the sunset. Next to it is the famous Galle Green Park. There is a flag lowering ceremony at 6pm. Next to it is the largest ONE GALLE FACE shopping mall, which also has Many chain restaurants.
