A little bit out of the centre, probably is best described as a 2.5 star hotel, considering that the Galle Face is a 4 star hotel.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Contemporary building, nice looking, but no rooms face the ocean, and to get to the beach, one must walk across the street and then across the railroad, so not really a good "beach" choice. But clean and a good breakfast.
