We came back for month before to Pakistan. I stayed at this hotel and i have lots of complaines. First of all night club is only for the couples. Seconds room services is rubished. Tv Channels are limited and service is not well. In Bathroom no muslim shawer. In the end when i time of check out hotel made bill for US $460 and now i received a bill of my credit card hotel managment deduct US $490 plus i have not use any kind of thing in mini bar but they deducted 1000 lkr too (Terrible). They think that a person who never comes again so do what they want.
One more thing i see two three cities of srilanka like kandy i paid
some extra charges in the shape of taxes.I go in elephent zoo normaly for lankans ticket prize is 25lkr and for forgiener 500lkr this redicluse.Every person wants robed the forginer . This is about the srilanka and third class hotel galadari .
My advise to people who wants to go to Srilanka to spent holidays dont go there bcz such a horiable place. Altough lots of beauties at here but people is dishonset at there.

This was a 5-star hotel located right in front of Galle-Face, the ocean-front park that Sri Lankans heavily used in the evening. The hotel had nice rooms, with views of the oceans, and had a varieties of restaurants. It had non-air-conditioned gym, and an acceptable pool on a deck with a view of the ocean.

The service at this hotel was somewhat unfriendly --- this is in comparison to the hotels outside of Colombo. The staffs really left us fending for ourselves, i.e., we really needed to push for something that we needed --- an unexpected in a 5-star hotel.

The breakfast selections at this hotel were the poorest out of the 4 hotels we stayed in Sri Lanka (Taj Airport, Amaya Lake, Mahawelli Reach, and the Galadari) --- not much was worth eating. Being so close to Colombo, you may fare better somewhere else. The cafe (hotel operated) had excellent quick snacks, however, even if the qualities of the cakes were not particularly impressive.

Overall, this is a good hotel, but doesn't really rate 5 stars in all categories. The founder of this hotel (not the owner) seemed to be a famous hospitality manager/teacher in Sri Lanka: I think he would cry to see how the service had since become from his time.

Staff friendly and for the most part efficient. They managed to sort out the problem of the safe not opening in our room very quickly. Clean and spacious rooms. Good buffet food. Nice pool. Would stay here again. Superior rooms are notably better than stand rooms.

In the heart of the business area, but soo nice! I was on the 10th floor with a view of the ocean. Service was the best! Food in all cafes was the best.The Califorina on the top floor was 5 star. I had a frend for dinner and told the staff, they made it even better!Thanks Clive DeCosta for a wonderful evening!!I miss the Galadari, there are no hotels like this in the USA And no service like Galadari style !Again Thanks!! Also! when you fly into Colombo use the hotels car pickup! 18.00 US to the hotel, much nicer than taxi!
