Beautiful oasis in Colombo: charming rooms, fantastic spa (best massage I’ve ever had!) and I highly recommend the cooking demonstration where the chefs will show you how to make Jaffna curries. A wonderful stay!

We arrived in Colombo and our driver from the hotel was waiting for us with a big smile on his face. We went straight to Aathma (means soul in Sanskrit and boy did it have soul!!) From the second we arrived the second we left, we felt welcomed, at home, and so at peace with the beautiful surroundings of architecture, nature and people. The owners Dushy, Niyo & Samir were so special to deal with. Their lovely natures and welcoming vibe made us feel at home straight away at Aathma. The rooms were...

stayed here on the last day of our trip. This was an exceptional hotel. Clean, modern and the attention to detail is surperb. From the moment we walked through the door Shamin and Nethmi looked after us. They made check in a breeze, cold towels on arrival and a lovely refreshing drink. They took us to our room, and showed us around the magnificent hotel. I would highly recommend this hotel, the roof top pool and restaurant/bar have exceptional views over looking Colombo and the ocean. Wish...

The Galle Face Hotel is a truly exceptional place to stay. The location is perfect, right in the heart of Colombo and on the beach. The actual building is beautfiul, a majestic old colonial. The rooms are spacious and airy. The staff and service are second to none. There is a lovely salt water pool and a gym - plus great bar and restaurant.
