Hotels near Independence Square

"Pleasant staff and stay. Limited food options for vegetarians, but I would stay here again. The hotel airport shuttle has to be arranged 72 hours in advance and costs $35 USD OR $60 USD roundtrip. I used the PickMe app for my ride that cost me $34 USD roundtrip (including the 400 LKR for tolls). It’s double the cost if you use the hotel shuttle. Considering the airport is an hour away from the hotel, either price you want to pay is not bad compared to transportation costs to transfer to big cities in the US. "

"Excellent customer service, flawless rooms and great breakfast!"

"Everything was perfect"

"A Perfect Welcome to Sri Lanka I stayed at the Galle Face Hotel in Colombo as my first stop after arriving in Sri Lanka, and it was the perfect place to unwind for a couple of days. The location right on the beach is unbeatable — relaxing, scenic, and a great introduction to the country. The rooms were extremely comfortable and beautifully maintained, offering everything I needed for a restful stay. What really stood out, though, was the staff. Everyone I interacted with was warm, professional, and genuinely eager to help. Their exceptional service made the whole experience feel effortless. Overall, Galle Face Hotel was the ideal start to my journey. I’d definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Colombo."

"did not have the breakfast"

"One of the greatest hotels I have ever stayed in. This place oozes quality. No wonder Prince Charles and Camilla stayed here when they paid a visit. The location in great but the staff are another level. Every detail is finely crafted and every need is jumped upon by well trained staff. Honestly the staff can’t do enough for you, they made our stay very memorable need. The food it top notch and if Michelin were in town they would surely get a star. The breakfasts are to die for. The rooms are generous and comfortable and the housekeeper was a diamond. Absolutely nothing could be improved upon. If you are in Colombo and need luxury, don’t go anywhere else. "
