Rooms - old rooms, ancient TV, size is OK. Bathroom - it took the housekeeping 1 hour to repair a fault in the bathtub. More to this, they came after an hour of followup with the reception and housekeeping. Buffet - Decent breakfast. Dinner was OK as they did not had any Indian chapati or naan, even though they had...

We spent 2 nights at Galadari Hotel during a private tour (selected by our travel agency, last week of December 2011). Galadari is ideally located in the Colombo security area, in front of old parliament and at the beginning of the famous Galle Face Walk. The hotel is supposed to be a 5*-hotel by local standards, which are quite different... More

The hotel is really old & not well sound proofed room . i paid nearly 170 us$ for one night. not good value for the price but good location though. the Hotel management need to seriously think to renovate the hotel. at...

Although its location is excellent, but it seems like they have not refurbished the hotel since the 80's. Rooms are really worn out and look more like a 2/3 star hotel rooms. Dirty carpet, CRT type TV's, rooms stinking with cigarette smoke etc. Perhaps the only positive was the amazing beach view from the room. For $ 200 / night... More

We were put up in this hotel by Srilankan Airlines due to their incompetency in operating flights on time. The stay was for one whole day (14hrs) out of which initial hours in morning were meant to catch up with sleep. Hoping for the best, we were transported to Galadari from the airport. This hotel is in Colombo city and... More

Nice place in the center of the town.We listened the ocean from our room.Clean rooms.friendly staff. Nice spa with wonderful cheap massage. The food was good. We were there 2 days before New Year and all the hotel was in lights that gave us a high spirit for a nice New Year More

Galadari, is probably a property selling more of its location than anything else. We were on a refurbished room in the 7th floor so rooms was pretty good with a great view of sea. If you are not specifically very picky about service/quality/food etc the hotel works perfectly as a average functional place to be. Breakfast spread is elaborate ,... More

The Galadari is well placed being fairly central and overlooking the sea however that is where the good news ends. The hotel is tired, dirty and nowhere near 'luxury'. I have stayed in better bed and breakfast accomodation for a lot less money. The rooms and hallways are shabby. The wallpaper is torn and marked, the furnishings are outdated, carpets... More

There are only 2 positive aspects in regards to the Galadari; its location (opposite the parlament and along the beginning of Galle Road facing the sea) and its very good food. Requested for a high floor quiet room; my request was ignored and was given a low floor room facing the main road. Tired looking room with 70's rattan furniture... More
