"A place like few others. It has real old-world charm, yet offers modern comforts. Much more charming and enjoyable than the modern high-rises. The view of the sea and Galle Face Green is fantastic. Th..."

Upon checking we were upgraded to a ā€˜better’ room for our last night of 19 in SL. Thanks to Humaith, Chathuranga and Shanini. Large corner room with a lovely bathroom, great choice of restaurants and very substantial choices for breakfast make this a worthwhile hotel. Its history, decor and surrounds are superb.
The room was loud by the ocean and unfortunately with a nearby party was loud with music from 10pm until all hours. The bed was far too firm for my liking.
