Colombo Hotels with Jacuzzi

"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."

"This is a small hotel that amazed me. It was renovated from an old villa. I read Ctrip user reviews about delicious Japanese restaurants, so I decided to stay here because traveling in Sri Lanka is very tiring. The best option is to have delicious food near the hotel, and there is no need to charter a car back to the hotel and go out to find food. I stayed in this hotel for a few days, which is owned by Japanese people. The management is very good, and the staff are very high-quality, polite and punctual. They even helped me take my hand that was left in the restaurant back to the room. The passport and cash inside were all intact. There are not so many choices of Japanese food, but the quality of the food is very good! The hotel's hygiene is spotless. It is recommended to install an exhaust fan in the toilet and a self-service laundry room."

"Kingsbury hotel is in a prime location closer to the beach activities. Some rooms are with sea view. Shopping mall is nearby that offers variety of shops and services. Restaurants provide wide selection of food options with local and international cuisines. The rooms are carpeted which emits old odour. The room furniture needs modernising. We experienced issues with booking. They couldn’t find our booking and gave us a room in a lower floor and the furnitures were old with smelly carpet. On my complaint, we were upgraded to a suite room in a higher floor which was classy and the view was excellent. Don’t know I can afford to stay in a suite. The staffs were helpful. I didn’t have a chance to use all amenities but I noticed there were many options. I will stay again if I am given a room in a higher floor or if I can afford a suite room."

"Such a lovely place!Highly recommended"

"🍃推開一扇門，我們彷彿撞進了一場南亞舊夢——風化的木櫃，色彩濃烈的布簾，木雕的人像與神獸，肆意生長的花束與綠植，讓人不得不愛。一杯酸中帶鹹，鹹中又帶甜，甜中又有點苦的迎客果茶我倆實在無福消受～ 🍃走進房間，四柱木床撐起一方天地，靛藍的紗幔與地毯讓人沉靜，鮮艷的花簇織錦床品卻又撞出鮮活的熱烈～ 門沒有現代的鎖，小弟拿出一把銅鎖🔒給我們，很古老。 🍃第二天我們在花園用早餐，這環境清幽舒爽，伴着陽光與鳥鳴，我們很喜歡這美妙的錫蘭小屋。 安全：鬧中取靜 環境：清幽，綠植環繞"
