We had a pleasant stay for a final night.
The rooms were contemporary, brand-new and with seaview. The location was central, stunning in the sea there. Besides, it was short walk to One Galle shopping mall, and all restaurants and lounge.

Immaculately clean, excellent value hotel, its location was nice and just off the ocean facing rooms. The rooms offered are top-notch and brand-new with a king bed, seaview plus a balcony. They have a lobby bar.

Good variety of breakfast options, Flexible late check-out policy, Nice ocean view from room
Hotel shuttle pricing is outrageous!!! Concierge cab prices should be more reasonable, especially given the Uber situation. Need better management of spa appointments, as wait times were unacceptable!!!

Beautiful room was super comfy with a giant bed! They brought a cozy fold-up bed for our son. Yummy complimentary sweets to nibble on. Best breakfast buffets ever, it was a real treat!
Windows didn't open, I seemed like I was in a posh submarine! The grill restaurant was so cold I considered wearing my winter coat indoors!

My wife and I enjoyed our first stay here, especially the delicious breakfast and the lovely dinner at the Capitol Grill while enjoying the fantastic jazz band. We had a great time relaxing at the indoor swimming pool and indulging in soothing massages at the spa. The only downside was that the dining options for kids were a bit limited, but overall, it was an amazing experience! 😊

great views , but lacking in some amenities
The view from the room was amazing, revealing the lake and Lotus tower. Maleesha's attentiveness enhanced our stay. She made sure every detail was perfect.
The amenities could have been more updated for a hotel of this caliber.

enjoy walkable city access with nearby parks and attractions
During my five-night stay, I loved being just a 10-minute walk from both Galle Face Green and the fine Viharamahadevi Park, made my city strolls easy, and the food at the hotel was fantastic with a big variety of mainly Asian cuisine at breakfast that gave me plenty of energy for exploring.

Couple's Ideal Getaway
The food was fantastic. The spa? A couples massage that was better than I could've anticipated.
It wasn't exactly budget-friendly but still acceptable.

I was impressed by the hotel's magnificent decoration and luxurious ambiance. The lobby, especially, with its fine chandelier, was a perfect cute area that is also easily accessible for seniors.
More vegan dining options would be appreciated.

The breakfast spread was very nice, with freshly baked croissants and a lovely selection of organic juices. The room had a fantastic view of the ocean. I did notice that more vegan dining options would enhance the dining experience.

The room was nice overall, but there were no mirrors, a hassle. The half mirror in the bathroom just didn't cut it, especially for makeup. I struggled with the air conditioner-I was cold the whole time! It had a great balcony and the view was decent though. Just needed a few more comforts.
