We stayed in this hotel one night in transit between flights. The hotel was very nice. The room was clean with very nice view. Supper was varied. Because we had only one day we wanted to at least see the city of Colombo So we rented a six-hour Toktok driver who took us to different sites in the city. I... More

We stayed here as part of a package with the Srilankan Airlines for a day. We were on transit and our stay was in this hotel. I loved the hotel. So neat and clean as well as well built. Went to visit the Ganga Rama temple from here in a Rikshaw, it wasn't too far either. I was told its... More

Marginally cheaper than the other hotels in region but covers all the bases quite well. I have found them to be quite accommodating for last minute bookings, quite good facilities, bars, restaurant and one of the better and popular in house night clubs ( if you are into this of course), swimming pool and gym. The room views facing south... More

The hotel was centrally located by the track during Colombo’s first “Night Race”. As such, the hotel had attracted possibly their highest volume guests in a long time! They had a private corporate function which was part of the Colombo Night Race, their in-house guests most of whom like us, had checked in just for the race, and also guests... More

Having spent a few lovely days in Kandy in a beautiful (and cheap) guest house we were looking forward to some 5* luxury in Colombo. The Galadari is certainly nowhere near 5*, even by Sri Lankan standards. Our 1st room had no hot water, the tv didn't work and the shower curtain looked like it had been there since the... More

This would have been an amazing hotel about 30 years ago! Lobby is still fairly grand but the corridors and rooms are tatty bordering on dirty. This hotel was not as expensive as the other large hotels in Colombo but even so was not worth the money paid. Only redeeming feature is good food. Would prefer Galle Face, Cinnamon Grand,... More

stayed here for 1 night in April. The hotel charges 5 star rates but gives you a 3 star experience and without breakfast! Rooms are old and jaded with peeling wall paper and stained bathrooms. Even the bed covers are faded and dirty. Another thing to be warned about and which I experienced for the first time, the hotel charges... More
