When we arrived the hotel was closed. We were given no notice. We were concerned as we had already paid for the hotel. A security guard directed us their sister hotel who honoured our booking which was great but not the experience we expected. I would say the pictures must have also been misleading given it was closed for renovation. The sister hotel was in a great location but very old and rooms not great. Would have preferred to be told and have booked elsewhere.

Think twice when booking this hotel
I understand this is a very old hotel but need to keep up to the standards. When i checked in, there was only one towel in the bathroom and few hours later i managed to get two additional towles. The food was good.

Booked on Wotif.com.
Catered for my family. FREE welcoming drink was nice in the hot weather. Waited for our extra bed to be put in the room as they mustn't have received my message, but I'd only sent it about an hour prior to our arrival. Bags were carried to our spacious, clean room with a balcony & city view. Bathroom was spacious, clean, had enough good quality towels for all of us with good hot running water for all of us. My only issue was upon checkout they handed me a bill for room payment even though I'd paid online with wotif.com like i have in 50 countries. After we showed them our booking in conjunction with bank withdrawal & they made a few phone calls to the company it was sorted. Well they said they'd call if any issues. We did have our driver (we've had for 5days) with us communicating so I'm sure that helped.

Koloniala vingslag
Bra läge i utkanten av Kandy. Gammalt kolonialhotell med god mat och bra service. Fina omgivningar med berg och vatten.

We just finished a two week holiday in Sri Lanka and this was one of our least favorite hotels. Breakfast was not good - the rooms and bathrooms are very dated and could use an upgrade. Staff are friendly.

It’s a beautiful colonial building and it’s well situated, it requires some major renovation in the way the Galle Gace hotel has been renovated to make it more appealing

Disappointing Experience
Poor management skills and lack of knowledge and skill of staff accounted for poor service levels. The choices and service levels at meal times (buffets) , overall maintenance of the property and cleanliness were poor .
