Granbell Hotel Colombo ★★★★
"Our stay at Granbell Hotel Colombo was excellent and easily one of the highlights of our Sri Lanka trip. The hotel offers stunning ocean views, beautifully designed modern rooms, and a fantastic rooftop infinity pool that is perfect for relaxing, especially during sunset. The location is convenient for exploring Colombo while still offering a peaceful atmosphere. One suggestion for improvement: our booking was made well in advance, and the full payment had also been completed before arrival. Since we were traveling as a family group, we had expected our rooms to be allocated on the same floor or at least close to each other. However, the rooms were assigned on different floors, which was a bit inconvenient. We kindly request that the hotel consider prioritizing room allocation for families and groups in such situations. Overall, Granbell Hotel provides outstanding value for money with its excellent hospitality, premium facilities, and memorable ambience. I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Colombo, whether for leisure or business. We would definitely choose to stay here again!"
Cinnamon Life at City of Dreams ★★★★★
"The room facilities are relatively new, and the breakfast selection leans towards Indian cuisine. The hotel's location is excellent, but the water in the pond in front of the hotel is quite murky and green. There's a casino on the second floor of the hotel, mostly frequented by Chinese guests."
Marino Beach Colombo ★★★★★
"⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good stay, great staff — pool‑side dining rules a drawback The team at Marino Beach Hotel were absolutely amazing warm, attentive, and always ready to help, which made my stay really pleasant and comfortable. The one disappointment was the strict policy: Food are not allowed near the pool or sun‑lounge areas, only in one corner of the rooftop Level 10. This isn’t a practical choice many guests want to relax and enjoy a light meal or snack while staying by the water. Having to dry off and change fully to enter the restaurant meant it was often empty, and I think the hotel misses out on extra business this way. Otherwise, a nice, well‑kept property with lovely people just hope they review that rule soon."
Sofia Colombo City Hotel ★★★★
"The hotel is located in a central area. The room was very clean and spacious. The hotel staff was very friendly and helpful; they assisted with my lost luggage. Overall lovely stay!"
Amari Colombo Sri Lanka ★★★★★
"I chose the newly opened Amari Hotel (Amari Colombo) for my first two nights in Colombo, drawn by its reputation for sea views. The sea view from the room and the rooftop infinity pool were huge plusses, and the service was good, but there were quite a few flaws. I stayed in a Deluxe Sea View King Room on the 16th floor. The room's large floor-to-ceiling windows directly faced the sea, offering a great view and easy sunset watching. Unfortunately, the popular Grabbell Hotel partially obstructed the view to the left, making the angle for admiring the sea from bed not ideal. The room itself was very new, but the design had numerous illogical aspects: ① The 'king' bed was actually two single beds pushed together, with a gap in the middle, making it very uncomfortable to sleep on. ② The bathroom wasn't a 'three-fixture separation' (toilet, shower, sink in separate areas), and opening the bathroom door completely blocked the toilet, leading to poor circulation and accessibility. ③ After the main light switch was turned off for a period, the power outlets also shut off, preventing phone charging. If the main switch wasn't turned off, some lights couldn't be switched off individually. ④ The curtains required pulling cords on both sides to operate, and there was no corresponding instruction in the room. I only discovered this after struggling to pull the curtains for a long time. I was quite surprised to find such design flaws in a hotel that had been open for two years. The hotel service attitude was generally good. Checking in at 1:30 AM, the concierge was still on duty, helping with luggage from the car and later delivering it to the room. The front desk staff were also very friendly, and I didn't experience any discrimination. The rooftop infinity pool on the 26th floor also directly faces the sea. The pool isn't large or deep, but it's sufficient for leisure. There's also a bar by the pool, offering panoramic views of most of Colombo, with particularly stunning scenery at dusk. Breakfast, located on the 5th floor, featured strong local characteristics, with an array of various curries spread across the buffet. Opinions were sharply divided; my wife loved it, while I couldn't get used to it at all. Overall, to fully enjoy this hotel, you need to book a sea-view room and comfortably watch the sunset from your room or the rooftop pool. Otherwise, it's just a slightly flawed, but generally acceptable, four-star hotel."
Galle Face Hotel ★★★★★
"The oldest Western colonial hotel in the Far East. The creaking wooden floors add to its charm. It's called Galle Face because it faces Galle, which is a rather straightforward name."
Shangri la Hotel Colombo ★★★★★
"Our room reeked of smoke, hotel refused to change rooms for us. Also ordering a taxi is a pain and very long process of waiting"
Harbor View 915 • Stylish Apartment Near Port City ★★
"The host was very helpful and shared their knowledge of Colombo with us. The apartment was well-equipped, had all the kitchen utensils, and a good washing machine. The two bedrooms had comfortable beds and a small balcony with a view of the harbor entrance. We could reach Galle Face in 12 minutes by tuk-tuk. We'd love to come back! 👍"
Mount Lavinia Hotel ★★★★
"Great views, friendly staff, and the station is just a three-minute walk away."

Ramada by Wyndham Colombo
"I've stayed at many hotels, but I have to review this one. The facilities are quite old, but the main issue was the terrible front desk service. I clearly booked two rooms, but they insisted I'd only booked one and had four people staying, implying that wasn't acceptable. I was really annoyed! I asked for two bottles of water for my room and called three times, each time being told it would be brought right away. After a frustrating 40 minutes, they still hadn't delivered them. I also asked for slippers, and after three calls, which took 30 minutes, they finally arrived. All in all, this was a very poor stay experience."
Cinnamon Red Colombo
"Even though I arrived before check-in time, they were able to accommodate me right away and I was able to check in early. I was very satisfied with the room's amenities, power outlets, hairdryer, iron, and the ample space, cleanliness, and design."
Mirage Colombo
"Dear Hotel Team, I would like to thank you for the excellent service and wonderful hospitality during my stay.

"fine!!!"
Cinnamon Lakeside
"I really enjoyed my 3-night stay. The service, cleanliness, and hospitality were excellent. The hotel staff were extremely polite, friendly, and always willing to help. Their warm smiles and welcoming attitude made me feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for throughout my stay. I was so happy with my experience that I rebooked the hotel three times during the Christmas period. The staff are very dedicated to their work, and their professionalism, kindness, and genuine care truly make a difference. The atmosphere was very pleasant, warm, and welcoming. I sincerely appreciate the wonderful service and would happily stay here again. Thank you to the entire team for making my stay so enjoyable and memorable. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a comfortable stay with excellent hospitality."
Maniumpathy Hotel
"The rooms are quite unique; it was converted into a hotel in 2016 by a local family with over a century of history. It only has 7 rooms, the breakfast is excellent, and it's a very decent resort garden hotel. It's very photogenic."

Mandarina Colombo
"I can't be more grateful for such hospitality and professionalism. The staff are always welcoming and smiling throughout my stay and always were happy to enhance my experience. The welcome drink on arrival is such a beautiful gesture. The rooms are spacious and super clean. The rooms are made daily and promptly refilled with toiletries and water. My booking did not include a breakfast but I purchased it for about 3200 SriLankan rupees, it had onsite omelet and a variety of SriLankan and international food. The location is central to everything around Colombo. I highly recommend this hotel for anyone visiting Colombo."
Jetwing Colombo Seven
"Super value hotel just out of the main hustle and bustle. Great room, great breakfast, great staff and with rooftop pool. The prices are slightly cheaper than the big hotels with excellent customer service. I found all the staff very friendly and the breakfast excellent."
Supun Arcade Residency
"What a start! Thanks to a Trip.com discount, we were able to book a superbly equipped apartment for 5 people at the Supun Arcade Residency – perfect for a relaxing first few days in Sri Lanka. The apartment truly had everything a traveler could wish for: its own kitchen, a large water tank, a refrigerator, and a washing machine! The breakfast buffet was delicious, and the staff were consistently friendly and helpful. On top of that (in the truest sense of the word): a rooftop pool with a fantastic view and a lovely restaurant with really good food. We had a fantastic time and can only recommend it!"
Morven Hotel Colombo
"Strategic location in the city center. Regarding cleanliness, there were dirty stains on the pillow and mattress. No sanitary kit was provided. The view of the sea was nice."
Colombo Court Hotel & Spa
"service was good at the restaurant but front office service needs improvement.Whatever asked ,they are unable to give info"
Thilhara Colombo
"The hotel has a convenient location, and the rooms are clean and quite comfortable. The staff are friendly, provide quick assistance, and are very enthusiastic. The atmosphere is quiet, and the facilities are complete, making it suitable for both business and leisure. Overall, I'm quite satisfied with my stay and will consider coming back next time."
Pegasus Reef - A Beach Resort in Colombo
"Check in was quick and got the room quickly, room was a bit smaller but had all amenities needed but mini bar was empty. Had mocktails from their pool bar and they were very nice. Food was not the best, dinner buffet had limited options and had no flavour in any of the dishes. Breakfast buffet was okay compared to dinner. I wanted to check out around 12 and they kindly offered a late check out too. Thank you team. I would recommend this hotel but there I hope their food standards get improved."
Paradise Road Tintagel Colombo
"A beautiful setting in the Paradise Road group hotel, which has several boutiques and another restaurant. Much quieter, you can dine either indoors in a refined setting or outdoors in a tree-lined courtyard. A fairly extensive menu to find what you're looking for, complemented by very well-made cocktails."
