foods and the location
The lady who guided us to the room .. she didn't have a pleasant attitude as she didn't treat us at least with a smile

After our third visit The Galle Face Hôtel is still our favorite hotel in Sri Lanka. We will be back. The rooms are clean and comfortable, the staff is nice and friendly. Breakfast is amazing. And .the travellers bar offers a great choice of food and lights meals.
Nothing. An à la carte option at the main restaurant for dinner would be nice.

The beautiful seafront and its amazing sunset
1. Better effort can be put in to keep the air vents from the AC free of clumps of dust and thus musty smell. The room we had was a recently renovated room. Other rooms offered were in same or worse off state. 2. The room we had should not be marketed as a seaview room. Half the view was taken up by a huge room and carpark
