Gorakapola Hotels from S$25

"We only had a flying stop through Colombo, but the hotel and room was fantastic. Very thorough security just excellent level of service all round "

"Nice location overlooking the water with a beautiful rooftop pool. Very decent breakfast in a beautiful setting. Within 10 minutes walk there are supermarkets and restaurants but you need to take a taxi to the tourist attractions which are not walkable. Overall, a very enjoyable stay at a very reasonable price "

"Our first experience of Sri Lanka and historic Galle Face Hotel was outstanding well managed and maintained to high quality. All the staff from reception to pool were amazing so helpful and courteous. The buffet restaurant is amazing Salt water Pool! It is about 50 mins from airport about 3 hours to Sigiriya and Dambulla for the rock fortress. We loved it!"

"Great service in the hotel across all functions including house-keeping, client services, food and beverages and have signed-up to become a member of ITC Ratnadipa. The GM was a great leader striving to offer the highest level of care to guests, highly recommend the hotel"

"Check in takes time apart of that excellent "

"Everything was amazing "

"Perfect hotel to stay a night in after arriving into Colombo. We did a city Tuk Tuk tour before heading to Sigiriya the following day. Lovely cafe on the 6th floor. Special thanks to Yasasna on reception for telephoning our airline several times to track our delayed luggage."

"Clean room, beautiful outdoor pool, delicious breakfast "

"Mixed experience. The room was a good size, the pool area was pleasant and never felt overcrowded, and the gym was modern and well equipped. Breakfast also offered a wide choice, and staff throughout the hotel were generally polite and welcoming. What let it down was the overall standard of service. Check-in felt unpolished and slightly disjointed — we weren’t given basic practical information such as breakfast times, where breakfast was served, or the opening hours for the pool and gym. The breakfast room was very busy and we had to find a table ourselves, which felt out of step with what you would expect from a hotel at this level. The bedroom itself had a noticeable stale smell that was difficult to shift given the windows cannot be opened. We also experienced intermittent issues with the Wi-Fi, which was frustrating. So overall, disappointing, particularly compared to other Shangri-la hotels. What I would say was that we provided this feeeback directly to the hotel and the GM personally acknowledged the issues which was appreciated from a customer service perspective. "
