It has a long history and is in a very good location, right on the coast, with a prairie just outside and the highest-end shopping mall a few hundred meters away. The service staff are very sincere and enthusiastic. The only drawback is that the hotel is very old and the facilities are also old.

The superior room is really too damp. I used a hair dryer to dry my clothes and hung them out, but they were wet again. It was really too damp, too damp, too damp. I don't know about other room types, but this superior room is too damp because it faces the sea. The room is not as big as the pictures show. Because it is too noisy in the room, turning on the air conditioner will have a damp and cold effect, so I dare not turn it on. The hotel has a holiday atmosphere. The service is also good, but the room is too humid

The hotel has a long history and is very distinctive. However, the facilities are relatively old, the sound insulation is very poor, there is no air conditioning for breakfast, and it is very hot, but the service of the old hotel is still good, meticulous and thoughtful!

After a walk, we went to Galle Green to watch a magnificent sunset🌄 The hotel is in an excellent location and the hotel service attitude is excellent. We used the taxi app to exchange for a driver who only knows Sinhalese. The hotel staff patiently helped us solve the problem until we got on the car and asked us many times if we needed any other help. The attitude is very friendly. The hotel is very historical. Walking on the creaky floor and sleeping with the waves of the Indian Ocean as a pillow (considering extreme comfort, please be careful). This is a very special experience. Many celebrities have stayed in the hotel. There is a small museum. Every building and item is well preserved and worth experiencing.
