The room was refurbished in a way that maintains the historic ambience and comes with a balcony. the hotel's central location offers easy access to special restaurants. - the accommodating staff gave us a nice welcome.

The hotel is luxurious, beautiful historical with lovely view of the sea. The location is amazing and favourable, it's so close to an other Temple, Crescat Shopping Mall, Cinnamon Grand Property, The Bavarian, The American Embassy and the Indian Embassy and other restaurants. You won't be disappointed if you stay in Galle Face Beach district.

Relaxed style and comfort - pure class. Amazing and large room, with a sea view. Great spa bath in the room.

If the windows were cleaner, I could enjoy the view more, but I guess the salty spray makes them dirty again pretty quickly.

The double room here offers a great view and all the necessary facilities you might require.

This is a lovely historic hotel and I'm glad I stayed - full of atmosphere and right next to the beach with the souind of crashing waves

I was put in a room on the main road when I had asked for a quiet room. The staff kept assuring me this was temporary, and they would move me to a quiet room when available. I asked numerous times and each time got a different excuse. Finally, just before midnight I went again to reception and asked why I was not yet moved to a quiet room. Suddenly 1 turned up and I was moved. I did not like the "runaround" I was given.

The hotel very old no maintain

The hotel is located in a prime spot right by the sea.

It's a very old hotel, since 1864, and it's fascinating to stay in such an old hotel, right on the sea shore.

My room had a lot of problems due to lack of maintenance, the bathtub sometimes was becoming full of dirty water coming from the draining, and the personnel, who witnessed the problem, didn't offer me another room and even didn't come back to clean the bathtub. I was in the main wing and I've been told that the rooms in the other wing had been already renovated.

Fantastic location and the deluxe room.

The rooms are clean, spacious, and have a large terrace with a lovely view of the oceanfront.

Newly remodelled and practical room with very comfy beds, a mini fridge bar, climate control and an individual safe. Plenty of food at breakfast, such as eggs, pastries, bangers and fresh fruit. Early check in and late check out. Cooperative staff, good service, exceptional views.

A little small room.

Colonial style building, excellent view, can hear the sea at night, spacious rooms and bathrooms, helpful staff in business center

The hotel could be the best in the city considering magnificent colonial style and location. Unfortunately the management of the hotel does not consider the renovation which is absolutely necessary to begin. The walls, cellings, carpets need attention. Hotel has a very old feeling (but not in a pleasant way, just old things that need renovation).TV could be changed in the room. I believe Regency Wing should be much better.

This place has been upgraded and the staff are incredibly accommodating, providing superb service in a marvelous location close to popular tourist attractions - a perfect starting point.

Old-world charm; nice location

The room in this new, Regency wing was fine. Beware, however, of the rooms in the old wing. They are badly maintained and need urgent renovation.
