Galle Face Hotel

Galle Face Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"An excellent, excellent stay at the Galle Face Hotel. The staff were so kind and attentive, especially the entire guest relations team of Darshi, Viduni, Kithara, Dinushi, and Ivoni, who surprised us with a gorgeous setup for our anniversary, and Kenan who gave us a special hotel 'heritage tour.' We stayed 2 days, but the kids were so sad to leave. The breakfast was expansive and delicious, and the swimming pool is apparently the only hotel salt pool in Sri Lanka. The sunset viewing area is beautiful and just everything about this hotel was wonderful."

4 tips for savvy savings when booking a hotel in Colombo

  1. Book for the cheapest times: The most budget-friendly time to visit Colombo is during May, June, and November, when hotel prices could drop to lower levels. For those keen to discover the city's rich history and vibrant culture, a stay of at least 3 to 4 days is recommended. This duration allows visitors to explore significant landmarks, such as ancient temples, museums showcasing local art, and delightful cafes. Additionally, you can enjoy the city's coastal charm, partake in local festivals, and indulge in fresh seafood while witnessing breathtaking sunsets. Colombo offers great value for money for travellers on a budget, making it an appealing destination.
  2. Look for last-minute deals on Hotels.com: To uncover last-minute deals to Colombo, visit the DealsOpens in a new window or Last-Minute Deals sections on Hotels.com, where you may discover discounted hotel rates as your travel date approaches. Consider enabling email alerts or push notifications to stay informed about flash sales and special promotions, helping you make the most of potential savings. Additionally, Smart Shopping is a useful comparison tool within the app that allows you to compare hotel prices and amenities, ensuring that you’re more likely to see the best options available. This way, you can seize any opportunities for a spontaneous getaway.
  3. Be flexible with dates: Prices may fluctuate due to factors such as the hotel's location, star rating, and the time of year, so being flexible with your travel dates could help you save on your accommodation in a Colombo hotel. For those seeking distinctive experiences, boutique hotels can provide a more personalised stay and potentially better value. When you book through Hotels.com, we will inform you if the price for your chosen dates is above or below the average. If the price is on the higher end, we will suggest alternative dates that may be more affordable, helping you find a better deal.
  4. Consider your location: Hotels situated near the city centre usually tend to be more expensive; however, with Colombo's excellent public transport links, you may discover a more affordable independent hotel a bit further out that remains well connected. For those keen to explore alternative, less crowded neighbourhoods or even lesser-known nearby towns, there is often excellent value for money to be found. Opting for these alternative locations could provide a more authentic and budget-friendly experience.
