Centrally located in the heart of Colombo Fort in the midst of other five star hotels. Very conveniently accessed and is an excellent location for business travellers. This is also famous for Sri Lankan weddings and the food and the service provided are upto the expected standard.

We attended a Wedding Reception Yesterday. Good Wedding Hall.Service was average. Looks like there are lot of trainee staff. Food is good. Did not fill the deserts on time. Supervises did not supervise the function actively. Overall it is a good Reception other than the said weakness.

I arrived at the Galadari almost midnight to stay there for 4 days during a business trip. Although I'd booked through the group that was organising the conference there and all my information has been submitted I had to go through a 15 minute check in (I was the only one checking in at that time) and re-submit all my...

I booked this hotel through booking com but when I checked-in they increase the price. They told me that I have upgraded though. Staff in the reception was ok but still there are some long faces chaps which is one of the common sights I have noticed in Sri Lanka. Room was pretty ordinary. Looks old. When I enter the... More

We stayed at this property for 1 night mid-April 2013. Check-in was swift and efficient, however the room we stayed in was not what you would expect from a 5* property - rattan furniture, very tired decor and a general 'down-beat' feel. However, the view from the room was amazing - out over the Galle Face coast and Parliament buildings.... More

Hi Edstar. Thank you for the review. We had similar comments on the decor and ambiance, but that was a few months back and had it fixed right away. Our guests have made references to the subtle changes we’ve introduced and are very happy with it. The rooms are in fact inspected regularly to ensure high standards. We are not... More

Well, a beautiful property just beside the sea. The location of the pool is fantastic. Good food at the dining room. Staff was very attentive. Check in went smooth whereas check out was abit late compared to. Anyway that did not bother us as we were on our vacation to Sri Lanka. But if we were on Business, it would... More

Thank you for the lovely review Christine. We understand that delays can be very frustrating and does drag the entire experience down. This will be shared with the relevant division to ensure such service lapse does not occur in the future. More

I stayed in this hotel in the first week of Feb 2013. It is a very nice sea facing property in Colombo. The location is very nice with sea view, parliament building and other 2-3 five star properties near to it. But there is not much shops in the nearby areas. Lobby, conference hall, and the staff are very nice.... More

This was our first visit to Sri Lanka and I am really glad we chose the Galadari Hotel. The reservation was made on telephone and the staff was very attentive and responsive. We got an offer of US$183/- double occupancy, inclusive of breakfast for two and taxes. The other 5-stars were quoting around the same rate. But we chose Galadari... More

Its an old property, but fairly well maintained. Rooms are fine, but bathrooms are small. Lobby, restaurants and bar are very nice. Good food, good drinks and great music. They have friendly staff, good travel desk and nice little tea shop. Like most 5 star hotels in Colombo, they offer complimentary drop and some free chips for casinos. Overall, a... More
