10/10
Outstanding
NNipunikaI recently booked a room at this hotel for my parents, and I couldn’t be more pleased with their experience. From the moment they arrived, the hotel staff went above and beyond to ensure my parents were comfortable and well taken care of. The service was truly outstanding.
The room was booked for one night and included breakfast the following morning, which my parents thoroughly enjoyed. The hotel also has a restaurant where guests can purchase extra meals at any time, which was very convenient.
The availability of a car park made their stay even more hassle-free. My parents were very satisfied with every aspect of their visit, and I’m grateful to the hotel crew for making their stay so enjoyable.
Thank you for your exceptional service!
This review highlights the key points and expresses your gratitude towards the hotel staff.

CChironTThe place is good for the price. The location is very close to the beach and restaurants, has a nice garden and pool, with lots of common areas to hang out in. The bed was comfortable and room decent with a nice balcony. They seem to only focus on cleaning the basics. I wish they’d clean a little bit deeper, and fix a couple of things because the place could be quite nice. There are some bugs - to be expected in a tropical, budget place but not too bad. Mainly there was lots of ants in the bathroom, and the walls aren’t properly sealed so it’s easy for the ants to get in. If they just did some very basic repairs, renovation and deep cleaning the place would be great. I’d still say it was good value for the location and I would stay there again if passing through Colombo.

MMD JOBAYER HOSSAINI recently stayed at Hotel Nippon Colombo, and it turned out to be a delightful experience. The hotel is located right in the center of Colombo, making it incredibly convenient for exploring the city. Whether you’re here for business or leisure, the location is perfect — close to transport, shopping, and cultural attractions.
🛏️ Rooms & Comfort
The rooms are fairly spacious and clean, with comfortable beds that ensure a good night’s sleep.
While the décor is simple, the hotel maintains a neat environment, and housekeeping does a commendable job.
Air conditioning and Wi-Fi worked well, which is a big plus for both work and relaxation.
🍴 Dining & Food
The in-house restaurant offers tasty Sri Lankan and international dishes, making dining easy and enjoyable.
Breakfast was satisfying, with a good mix of local flavors and continental options.
👩💼 Service & Staff
The staff were friendly, attentive, and always ready to help. From check-in to check-out, they made the stay smooth and welcoming.
Their hospitality really adds warmth to the overall experience.
📍 Location Advantage
Being in Union Place, Colombo 02, the hotel is close to major attractions, business hubs, and transport links.
It’s easy to get around the city, whether by tuk-tuk or taxi.
💰 Value for Money
With its central location, decent facilities, and welcoming service, Hotel Nippon Colombo offers great value for money.
It’s a solid choice for travellers who want convenience without overspending.
✅ Overall Impression
Hotel Nippon Colombo is a comfortable, well-located, and affordable option in Colombo. It may not be ultra-luxurious, but it delivers on the essentials: clean rooms, good food, and warm service. I’d happily recommend it to anyone visiting Colombo for a short stay or business trip

EExpertNice guest house. The owners are generally charming people. We met, accommodated, told and showed everything. There is a kitchen with everything you need.
In the morning, the hostess prepared a delicious breakfast and helped call a taxi.
In general, I had a good impression.
From this place it is convenient to get to the airport.
If you have a late check-in, it is better to notify the hosts in advance.

KKFoz7Good for one night in Colombo. They let us check in after delayed flight and organised a tuktuk the next day to bus station
7.4/10
SSofia_PoeI stayed there for a night and extended the stay for one more night.
There's a kettle, water, glasses and cups, coffee and tea, a fridge, bottles of shampoo/conditioner and lotion. You can have breakfast on the sixth floor, and there's a great café called Grind nearby. Two supermarkets - Spar and another one - within 5-10 minutes on foot.
The towels had tone cream spots on them, and they don't seem to clean every day (on the second day, i called to ask for some water and toiletries, but only got water). Besides, i heard the noise of the vacuum cleaner in the hall at 9:30 pm - i requested a quiet room and was trying to fall asleep, so that was disappointing.
7.1/10
GGuest UserThe outside is warmly furnished. The interior environment is clean. There is a private bathroom and efficient air conditioning in the room. The sea is right outside the hotel. And there is a good café and iconic train there. The reception and owner were friendly and helpful. It was morning when I transferred over. The owner helped me check in early when the room was full, which was very decent and reasonable. All in all, whether it's a trip or a stopover, this hotel is bang for the buck. 👍🏻
6.9/10
AAnonymous UserIt is very convenient to be next to La** Beach. The room is a bit old. The staff said it was opened around 2000. It is a bit old, but the service attitude is super good. I also like the breakfast. It is very cost-effective. I think I will choose here next time I come to Colombo
