Hotels in Colombo

Voordelen:: Supervriendelijk en behulpzaam personeel, fantastisch restaurant, xxl suite. De badkamer met een inloopdouche waar een elftal in zou passen was geweldig.

Nadelen:: Zelf niet zo gecharmeerd van muziek buiten. Hoeft voor mij niet

Voordelen:: Food was wonderful and a pleasant surprise having stayed in many 5 star hotels in Sri Lanka staff were friendly and helpful. Small relaxed boutique hotel.

Nadelen:: Tv channels were limited if not local channels. Ac old and noisy at high fan speeds. Hot water in evening and night o k but cool in morning

Voordelen:: We have enjoyed being guests at Uga many times - always superb, polished, friendly service, the food is divine, and the ambiance a relaxing retreat from the Colombo streets.

Voordelen:: Geweldige lokatie midden in de stad. Een prachtig koloniaal pand met schitterende kamers en uitstekende service.

Nadelen:: Alles was perfect

Voordelen:: Everything! The place is beautiful and the staff and food are both excellent!

Nadelen:: Nothing we didn't like!

Voordelen:: Everything

Voordelen:: The location

Voordelen:: Food was exquisite. All staff was great. Wonderful stay

Voordelen:: De intimiteit van de drukte in de grote stad. Geweldig aardig en behulpzaam personeel en een heerlijk zwembad.

Nadelen:: Niets

Voordelen:: Amazing staff, so friendly and professional. Delicious food- both breakfast and dinner. Comfortable room and bed. Beautiful hotel.

Nadelen:: It's impossible to not like everything about this place!

Voordelen:: Location, Heritage, service

Nadelen:: Nothing not to like

Voordelen:: Staff were super friendly and efficient.

Nadelen:: This Hotel is super tired. On arrival, were were greeted by very friendly staff and showed to our room. The room reeked of Damp which was extremely off putting and made us feel somewhat nauseous. We complained and were met with an apology - whoopee. The building in general is in a mediocre state of repair. Windows were filthy, paintwork on exterior was overdue a paint and generally very tired throughout.

Voordelen:: Interior design was stunning. Aesthetically perfect

Nadelen:: Rooms dusty and tired. Filtered water provided as an eco substitute but in branded plastic bottles! They smelled old and musty so bought fresher water outside.

Voordelen:: The overall layout of this villa gem and national history was immediately creating a warm cozy welcome mood. Strong impression of outstanding privacy experience in a super elegant atmosphere. Great decor scheme. Royal Suite was a brilliant home after 5 minutes being inside.

Nadelen:: less impeccable feeling in restaurant garden. The floor was covered with unremoved leaves. White umbrellas on the garden need attention with regard to dust and and a not nice dirty impression.

Voordelen:: Het eten was heerlijk! mooie ambiance en super vriendelijk personeel.

Nadelen:: Waterdruk in de badkamer is zeer laag en badkamer had vochtplekken op muur en plafond...

Voordelen:: Life is good at the Paradise Road hotel! Do not hesitate and stay in this stylish and comfortabel hotel. Location, interior design, staff, service and breakfast, it was all great. I will stay here again and again!

Voordelen:: Such a beautiful property. Really enjoyed the stay.

Voordelen:: Oase van rust in het drukke Colombo. Een waanzinnige service, overal. Heerlijk ontbijt - zeer uitgebreid

Nadelen:: We hebben echt niets aan te merken

Voordelen:: Groot en superchique.

Nadelen:: Beetje gedateerde kamers. Onpersoonlijk

Voordelen:: het beviel vanaf het begin tot het einde van ons verblijf, maar dat mag ook wel gezien de uitstraling van het hotel

Nadelen:: niets

Voordelen:: Beds are super comfortable. Staff are really sweet and nice. The place is affordable, the food was really well done not oily.

Voordelen:: Central for this city

Nadelen:: Bathroom had a terrible smell coming from the pipe work

Voordelen:: 1. De centrale locatie 2. Het feit dat op het vliegveld een kantoortje van Cinnamon was waar ik snel een betaalbare taxi kon regelen 3. Goed Indiaas restaurant (Chutney) 4. Mooi zwembad met voldoende ligbedjes.

Nadelen:: 1. Ontbijt vond ik matig; service uitermate sloom; moest zelf om koffie vragen; vieze tafels werden niet afgeruimd (ik heb een half uur naast een tafel gezeten die een bende was, terwijl er toch echt wel veel personeel rondliep). 2. De kamer die ik had was een beetje sleets en gedateerd; wel schoon trouwens.

Voordelen:: Everything is amazing

Nadelen:: Everything was perfect

Voordelen:: Friendliness and helpfulness of staff

Nadelen:: No outlet in bathroom or area where there was mirror where hair styling implement could be plugged in.

Voordelen:: Service was fantastic. They made up rooms in the afternoon and repliinsed anything used and even folder the toilet paper. Staff and breakfast and restaurants great. Fantastic pool ( below ) and good location

Nadelen:: No top sheet. Not enough tea bags and milk. May e cocktails could be better.

Voordelen:: The staff at cinnamon grand made our stay perfect - everyone went above and beyond to make our stay the best.

Voordelen:: hotel zelf,mooie inkomhall en verschillende restaurants.omgeving aan het meer.ontbijt.

Nadelen:: had een superior kamer met douche/bad.voor een 5 stars hotel zeker uit de mode.

Voordelen:: Good spread at the breakfast room .........

Voordelen:: Nice hotel in good location.

Nadelen:: Poor value for a long term stay

Voordelen:: This was my second time at the property. They have maintained it well. Breakfast spread is good. Pool is clean. Room is spacious and well maintained. Kudos to the house-keeping staff

Nadelen:: Very few in-room dining options

Voordelen:: Vriendelijk personeel en een gezellige sfeer. Super ontbijt. Fijn om je laatste dag door te brengen.

Nadelen:: We vroegen een kamer met uitzicht op de lake. Deze kregen we maar we werden niet ingelicht over het feit dat we dan 100 euro meer moesten betalen.

Voordelen:: Mooi groot zwembad met voldoende ligbedjes.

Nadelen:: Wat mij tegenviel was dat het hotel geen normale taxi naar het vliegveld voor me wilde regelen. Je kon uitsluitend gebruikmaken van de krankzinnig dure vervoersservice van het hotel zelf. En dat terwijl Cinnamon op het vliegveld zelf wél een normale taxi voor me regelde die ik gewoon via de hotelrekening kon betalen. Echt waardeloos. Gelukkig kon ik via internet heel snel een andere taxi regelen voor de helft van de prijs en dat terwijl men mij in het hotel vertelde dat dat niks zou opleveren...

Voordelen:: Nice view n singer in evening

Nadelen:: Breakfast place bit crowded

Voordelen:: It is a 6☆ hotel Everything was good at this hotel Breakfast Pool Feiendly Staff Nice big room Location A good place to relax

Voordelen:: This was a comfortable and spacious suite and they provided an extra bed for my daughter in the lounge. The suite had an additional separate toilet which was a nice surprise. There was a large balcony with a lovely view.

Nadelen:: Upmarket hotels charge upmarket prices for their restaurants and bars and although these are very convenient it is often worth going to other local places nearby if you want better value for money. In the main bathroom the shower was over a deep bath which could be difficult for some people to access easily. I would suggest they also include a USB power point in the suites although they can provide you with an adapter. The room service menu could be improved with a better range of healthier and more appetizing food.

Voordelen:: Excellente service, prima accommodatie en geweldig eten

Nadelen:: Wifi laat regelmatig te wensen over (niet alleen dit bezoek)

Voordelen:: All..excellent service in all areas except pool bar and staff

Nadelen:: Pool staff were not aware of the clientele. Had to got the bar 3 times to get their attention. Lack of communication skills and presentation skills. Definite language barrier

Voordelen:: Patina

Nadelen:: Zeer klein

Voordelen:: Het is een mooi en koloniaal hotel, hier krijg je aandacht die je als klant verdiend, hier is de klant nog koning.

Nadelen:: Kijk uit voor een familiekamer, de tussendeur is erg gehorig, beter om vooraf te vragen naar een kamer zonder tussendeur.

Voordelen:: Prachtig, sfeervol hotel in koloniale stijl!

Voordelen:: Geweldig hotel. Mooi koloniaal engels Met de chique die je daar van verwacht. We hebben genoten . Absoluut een ‘must’ om te ervaren . Heerlijk zoutwater zwembad en nog veel meer maar te veel om op te noemen . Een dikke 10

Nadelen:: Als er iets te zeuren valt is het misschien wat klungelige personeel bij het ontbijt maar dat heeft ook zijn charme ...

Voordelen:: Personeel is heel vriendelijk, veel verschillende locaties om te eten, mooie bar. Enige hotel in Sri Lanka waar we hoede WiFi hadden.

Nadelen:: Het zwembad is niet geschikt voor kleine kindjes, dat was een beetje een tegenvaller.

Nadelen:: When I booked in they took the full amount of my stay on my credit card plus about the equivalent of 300 US dollars for potential charges.I was told I would be refunded when I booked out.No problem I thought.Well I booked out and was asked for a further credit card to reimburse me I was told.Rather than reimburse me they took the full amount of my hotel stay again! About 350 US dollars.I have now paid about three times what I should!I hope this message results in management sorting out their mess pronto!The hotel stay and the facilities we found to be excellent and it pains me to to post this.

Voordelen:: Upon arrival, you receive a regal reception and are transported into a world of timeless grace. The various departments work in harmony, ensuring an exceptional welcome. Breakfast is a feast of tropical fruit, traditional Sri Lankan dishes, everything for a continental European palate, as well as live cooking. The natural surroundings of the restaurant and the sound of the crashing waves, perfect starting your day in the best way possible. An excursion facility assists guests with travel and adventure requirements in and around Colombo and the country as a whole. Galle Face provides refined in-house experiences as well, such as cooking demonstrations of Sri Lankan dishes by Chef Siripala. The setting for the presentation is ideal with swaying palm trees and the nearby Indian Ocean, providing a magnificent scene for the culinary journey. A cornucopia of exotic ingredients are beautifully displayed, and a distinguished lady with a comprehensive knowledge of the products and dishes accompanies the chef with delightful anecdotes and insider's advice. A flavourful, delicious, balanced meal, consisting of a Sri Lankan Dhal Curry, a Fish Curry and tempered, stir-fried green beans was expertly prepared and enjoyed by all. The hotel is situated on the beachfront, walking distance from several commercial centres, close to the port for guests potentially embarking or disembarking from a cruise, with taxis, tuk-tuks and Ubers in ample supply. Other facilities include a vast business centre, a library and a lovingly curated museum. The glorious saltwater swimming pool invites guests for hours of leisurely relaxation. The spa is currently under refurbishment, and I look forward to experiencing it on my next visit. Because what more could one want after all this? Another journey to Galle Face, Sri Lanka, of course! Much gratitude to the entire team who have perfected the ancient art of hospitality for a vibrant, contemporary Sri Lanka!

Voordelen:: I have been for the third time to the GF. And even though so many things have changed in the meantime, the hotel is an oasis where time seems to be "freezed". Although the services and facilities fit with 2019. As I was travelling alone, I appreciated the most intentiv service of the whole staff. I hope coming back again and enjoying the sun set on the terrace.

Voordelen:: Colonial hotel but in need of a facelift

Nadelen:: A bit tired and found the staff unhelpful

Voordelen:: The hotel is an old Colonial hotel in need of an upgrade but comfortable. I did not tho k the staff were that helpful but then I had been spoilt by the other places where I stayed.

Nadelen:: Quite a way into town so you need to be content to relax at the hotel. Nice location on the beach.

Voordelen:: The history, and I had stayed there many, many years ago. The staff were all very pleasant.

Nadelen:: On booking.com I had been offered a room with a sea view. My room overlooked a disused building, but if you looked round to the right you could see the sea. The lighting in the room was very poor and the porter didn’t seem to know how to rectify it. The sink in the bathroom got stopped up and I had to request it to be cleared (which they did). The room was sadly characterless.

Voordelen:: Breakfast choice was good; buffet items well presented; cooked items well prepared. Location on open-air terrace very enjoyable.

Nadelen:: We were given a supposedly upgraded Landmark room which was OK overall. However, the kettle and tea coffee-making facilities were irritatingly located underneath the TV which straddled a corner making access very difficult - a ridiculous arrangement.

Voordelen:: ontbijt was formidable, alles wat je maar wenst, te gek……..museum was mooi om te zien,mijn complimenten, het hele hotel was fantastisch

Nadelen:: het restaurantje buiten veel te veel luide muziek, je kon elkaar niet verstaan, je werd ook naar binnen getrokken door ober, erg irritand, maar eten was erg goed,, jammer van dit goedkope gedoe om je bnnen te halen als je goed bent komen ze toch wel

Voordelen:: Ideal location with easy access to transportation . Room was big enough & did not feel cramped up . All the staff from the helper to the managers were very kind & ready to help .

Voordelen:: Clean, comfortable, great amenities and very friendly and helpful staff. The gym was well equipped and had thoughtful touches such as complementary sugar and salt drinks. The club rooms are worth paying for, and provide access to the Club Lounge with superb views of the Indian Ocean and very attentive staff. A big shout out to the housekeeping staff who provided some light moments and clearly enjoy what they do.

Nadelen:: The hotel itself is a little isolated in terms of outside bars, restaurants and activities, but getting to those locations is easy enough with taxis that are plentiful and cheap.

Nadelen:: Excellent staff and great food. Morin at the Buffet section was really helpful and made sure everytime that we were comfortable

Voordelen:: Staff were very attentive

Nadelen:: No problems

Nadelen:: There was an Octoberfest happening when we stayed there. It was very noisy until midnight and we didnt know about it until we checked in

Voordelen:: Beautiful hotel. Staff are so lovely and helpful! The buffet breakfast is delicious. Also tried out one of the restaurants for dinner - Indian, also delicious. The rooms are lovely and spacious. The bed was so comfortable, have not slept that well in a long time. Really enjoyed my stay, only regret is wish I could have stayed longer.

Voordelen:: ontbijt was super , veel keuze personeel heel aardig Dilhara en Gayan Locatie mooi uitzicht , schoon

Nadelen:: alles was prefect

Voordelen:: Clean

Nadelen:: Small room

Voordelen:: Location

Nadelen:: Some of the floors are not renovated

Voordelen:: Grounds, public spaces & meeting rooms are lovely-5*. Large breakfast buffet with juice bar. Six bottles of water in my room in arrival (thoughtful) but they weren't replenished. Many wedding parties use lobby & grounds for photos-beautiful to see.

Nadelen:: My room was in the older (not refurbished) wing and it showed. Water would not turn off completely in shower, closet doors were hard to slide & did not close completely. Safe was locked open & no one showed up to fix it after I called (but it was done by 3rd day). The room next to mine was under construction or being used by staff & there was a lot of banging one night after midnight. Also, several conference attendees had stomach issues from food they ate there.

Voordelen:: Excellent location, service and hospitality!

Voordelen:: Would definitely recommend this hotel for a business trip . Staff were amazing and couldn’t do enough for you .

Voordelen:: perfect location

Nadelen:: security checks were not properly arranged

Voordelen:: The rooms were spacious, beds were comfortable, apartment was very comfortable. It had all the facilities needed. The staff were always smiling and friendly, always willing to help. Which made our stay even more welcome. In suite dining options and the food were amazing. Gym was equipped with new and extensive machines. Pool was splendid. Would stay here again definitely. Indika, Jaison, Anthony and the rest of staff made the stay memorable. Thank you!

Nadelen:: There's nothing about it that I didn't like.

Voordelen:: Good ambience and clean

Nadelen:: Pool wasn’t working

Voordelen:: De service en vriendelijkheid die op alle fronten werd gegeven door alle medewerkers.

Nadelen:: Het zwembad was tgv onderhoud out of order. Zou mooi geweest zijn wanneer dit ook wordt aangegeven bij het boeken.

Nadelen:: No room service.

Voordelen:: Great hotel, exceeded my expectationd in every way. Would defintely stay here again.

Voordelen:: This place will always be y go to whenever I go to colombo , I stayed the whole day at the pool enjoying the amazing view , the staff are so nice , I liked how they checked our bags everytime we go in , I felt very safe and protected in this place :)

Voordelen:: Location and cleanliness

Nadelen:: Booked on promotional rate and paid for a king size bed but when checked in it was twin bed. This was a disappointment coz paid extra for a king size bed.

Voordelen:: Heerlijk buffet in de ochtend. Eindeloze keuze. Van Europees en Engelse ontbijt tot aan de echte sri kankers ontbijt wat mijn voorkeur had. Het hotel ligt een klein kwartietje van het echte centrum maar zo met taxi en tul tuk te bereiken. Tip: vraag een kamer op de hoogste verdieping. Hier krijg je een kamer met uitzicht op Colombo. Echt helemaal top! En natuurlijk het zwembad en fitness ruimte oo het dak!!! Genieten en goede start van de vakantie.

Nadelen:: Openingstijden van de bar zijn matig. Als je laat nog een drankje wil wordt er geen alcohool meer geschronken.

Nadelen:: The ventilation fan is a bit of noisy

Voordelen:: Very kind and helpful staff. Clean room with nice view. 24 hours cafe. Nice breakfast buffet.

Nadelen:: Water pressure of the shower was not satisfactory. Less amenities.

Voordelen:: Modern design

Nadelen:: Bepaalde amenities moet je kopen

Voordelen:: Uitzicht en de comfortabele kamers

Voordelen:: Goede en efficiënte service

Nadelen:: Geen specifieke punten

Voordelen:: The rooms are clean and of adequate size. The bed was comfortable and the staff was very friendly and efficient, I have no complaints.

Voordelen:: Ambience

Nadelen:: The staffs are rude and breakfast not much choice. Poor sound proven. Very noisy during night time because there's a pub where a lot of local drinking and speaking very loud. Feeling of unsafely when walk back to hotel at night time.

Voordelen:: Fijne kamer, vriendelijk personeel

Nadelen:: Ontbijt was wat minimalistisch: ei, toast en fruit.

Voordelen:: Mooie kamer en het was erg schoon. Daarnaast was de locatie in Colombo erg goed en centraal.

Nadelen:: Het bed was erg hard met veren

Voordelen:: Very very clean and confomtable, and really kind staff!

Voordelen:: Great location.

Nadelen:: Should have some blinds because the light in the morning can be quite intense.

Voordelen:: The staff were fabulous, wonderful friendly driver from the airport and a lovely stay. Highly recommended.

Voordelen:: Very comfortable and clean and good got water - very nice staff and amazing breakfast with very funny chef ... thank you !

Nadelen:: Everything was amazing

Voordelen:: Super vriendelijk personeel;. Niks us teveel

Voordelen:: I stayed here with my 2 children and the owner and staff couldn’t have been more helpful and welcoming. So kind & friendly, and really willing to go the extra mile for the guests The location is brilliant (near the other popular big name hotels) so plenty of places to eat & sight see right around the corner The rooms are comfy and well decorated, well worth the money I would definitely recommend!

Voordelen:: Boven verwachting. Lekker ontbijt in een mooie ontbijtzaal met uitzicht over de stad. Prima locatie in de stad. Hele nette kamers en vriendelijk personeel.

Voordelen:: Clean, fresh, good breakfast, cool roof terrace, friendly staff.

Nadelen:: Extremely noisy work going on outside all night. Obviously not the hotel's fault, but might be indicative of the location.

Voordelen:: We had asked for an airport pick up. It was not there and we had to come on our own We had asked for a room with attached bathroom but they pretend that booking.com did not transmit the message The room was small without a bathroom or TV They claimed they were heavily booked and could not find us a better room. They refused to send us to another hotel but after my insistence they found another hotel for us The male staff was however very cooperative and did whatever they could to transfer us to a nearby hotel The lady at the counter was not cooperative at all

Nadelen:: See above

Voordelen:: Breakfast was exceptional (nice service and super good smoothies). Suresh was a perfect host, welcoming, helpful and yet discreet. Rooms are big and clean, bathrooms tidy, the neighbourhood nice and calm, we absolutely recommend.

Nadelen:: The location is a little off center.

Voordelen:: The guest house is not central so it is not easy to move around

Voordelen:: The owner was very friendly and helpful. He arranged tuk-tuks, transport from the airport and even booked a train ticket for us. The breakfasts were also great.

Nadelen:: I felt quite isolated staying there because access to the property is from a series of narrow alleyways. If there had been other guests staying there at the same time, it might have felt less remote.

Voordelen:: After we got picked up at the airport we were welcomed in the hotel. Our room was big, clean and comfortable. Air conditioning was a big plus. We were asked what we want to have for breakfast, we decided for local breakfast and it was really good! They helped us getting a tuktuk or a taxi to go where we want to. They are friendly and trustworthy people.

Voordelen:: The owner is so friendly man and he lit me watching the TV and used the fridge to make my beer cold

Nadelen:: I like all

Voordelen:: Friendly staff, very clean room, good wifi

Voordelen:: Very comfortable with stay

Voordelen:: Suresh was a wonderful host. He and his wife were so welcoming and helped us a lot with getting around and finding food what was a bit difficult due to the political circumstances. Even though the country is having tough times Suresh and his wife had always a smile on their faces and tried their best to comfort us. The food they served was super delicious. Especially the dosa and the coconut chutney *yum*! My bf could even watch the friendly lady cooking early in the morning and he could wrote down some recipes as a souvenir for home ;-) The room was spacious and really clean. The whole house is very pretty and is of a high Sri-Lankern standard. I loved the partio with the fishies :-) The internet was also 100% working - what was a crucial criteria for us. So don’t think twice and make a booking for this beautiful homestay!

Nadelen:: All good! We were really happy! The location is a bit out of Colombo but with the local busses or a Tuk Tuk you can get around easily. Due to the attacks we felt even a bit better not staying in the center....

Voordelen:: Manager/owner was very friendly.

Nadelen:: The breakfast was a bit expensive ....

Voordelen:: The room was very comfortable with a large bathroom and best shower we’d had in a couple of weeks. Very friendly and helpful reception staff.

Nadelen:: Nothing

Voordelen:: Vriendelijk personeel Ruime kamer Goede matrassen, kussens, beddengoed.

Nadelen:: Erg prijzig dankzij bijkomende belastingen......

Voordelen:: Bed was good, bathroom was clean. I loved the simplicity and decor. Staff were helpful and polite

Nadelen:: A seat at the front (in the drive way) would be great as I had to wait for my driver!!

Voordelen:: Everything

Nadelen:: Nothing

Voordelen:: Alright for a short stay in Colombo if you do not want to go side seeing. Clean rooms with wifi.

Nadelen:: Reception staff not always on site and not the friendliest. Were not willing to offer any food for early departure the morning or evening before, even though breakfast was included in the room. Difficult to communicate with, i.e. making arrangements for transfer to the airport the night before early morning flight did not work out very well. I paid a premium for the “service”, which they took fully for them as the driver only got less than half of what I paid. Bad style!

Voordelen:: Dat het personeel al het mogelijke doet om het de gasten naar de Zin te maken. Ik ben hier al meerdere keren geweest maar wat mij wel opvalt dat er weinig wordt gedaan aan onderhoud. Dat vind ik jammer want ik kom hier graag.

Nadelen:: Niets, iedereen was behulpzaam, ik moest naar een advocaat en wist niet waar het was, iemand ging mee naar de tuck tuck chauffeur om tekst en uitleg te geven en zo was ik op tijd bij mijn afspraak.

Voordelen:: Leuke sfeer, mooi ingerichte kamers met een goed bed en douche. Lekker ontbijt

Nadelen:: We hadden geen echt raam op onze kamer.

Voordelen:: The little soaps smell awesome and the view outside the showers to the ocean is awesome! Mostly I enjoyed the delicious smoothie bowl for breakfast!! Free drinking water and a kitchen to use, close to the main bus station, very nice and clean, big lockers plus a local rice and curry place 2 minutes away - the best first stop arriving in Colombo I could have wished for!

Voordelen:: Clean, good rooms, great sitting area

Nadelen:: N/A

Voordelen:: The breakfast (bowl fruit) was delicious.

Nadelen:: Rooms are not as good as in pictures. We expected bigger room and we were in a small one. Staff very friendly but with a lack of english .

Voordelen:: The breakfast was great and it was clean!

Nadelen:: We had a double room and it was very noisy cause it was right next to the cleaners room and the breakfast / rest area! And someone made a lot of noise both night in the middle of the night.

Voordelen:: De pick up van het vliegveld was top! Leuk personeel en heerlijk ontbijt.
