My wife and I come to Sri Lanka at least twice a year. While we have a home in the south, we often come to Colombo, where we stay in hotels. Many, many, hotels. Of all of them, the Gaul Face Hotel is the best. We love the classic architecture, the room, the restaurants (wow!). Most of all, we love the thoughtful and friendly staff. They are unobtrusive, attentive, and seem to think of everything, even noticing that I dropped a fork, replacing it in the few seconds it took me to reach for it. We will only stay at the GFH in the future.
