★★★★★ 8.5 (106 reviews)

"Sorry for reviewing . I suggest trip to take out this property from their listings. As prior the property named as movenpick hotels ,. We are in an illusion of the same legacy continues.. unfortunately we booked for two nights and fortunately we changed second day to other hotel, reason being Worst room service, no immediate attention of guests except security and few personals. Breakfast is not at all worth. NOT AT ALL. Rooms are huge and cleanliness is not at par as bed bugs can be seen. Don’t want to post pics as it devastates the house. Wish the best for NH and hope they look into the issues quick and sort.. thanks"

City of Dreams - Nuwa Sri Lanka Hotels in Colombo

City of Dreams - Nuwa Sri Lanka

"The hotel is located in the mega-building City of Dreams. It feels more personal because it doesn't have many rooms. It's a bit pretentious, and the breakfast is more showy than practical. The pool area is rather uninviting, but you can use the Cinnamon Life facilities."

ITC Ratnadipa, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Colombo

"Location is great, just beside One Galle Face Mall. Plenty of restaurants and cafes around. Beautiful sunset views (from the bar, pool, restaurant, lobby) and Galle Face opposite the road. Rooms are gorgeous and spacious. Checked in Dec 30-Jan 2 peak season. Hotel was fully booked. Waited in the lobby for my room to be ready upon check-in. Front desk said they will find me to let me know. Waited for more than an hour before I asked them again and told me that my room has been ready. Ordered some room service which took more than an hour to be delivered. Granted they told me that it may take about 50 minutes because it was peak hours. Upon delivery they told me it was comped because of the long wait. Pool, restaurant, and bar staff are all great. Very personable and accommodating. Loved the sky pool on the 31st floor. No bar but not as crowded as the main pool. Breakfast was great. A lot of choices. Asian selection is great. Pastries not so much, some didn’t seem fresh. Heard from some staff that it gets super busy from around 9 but didn’t experience any long wait. Plenty of tables to accommodate people. Overall a great experience and will definitely stay here again if I’m in Colombo."

Pegasus Reef - A Beach Resort in Colombo Hotels in Colombo

Pegasus Reef - A Beach Resort in Colombo

"Had a really nice experience here. The location is a bit far from the city, but since we wanted a hotel closer to the airport, it was perfect for us. The staff were very friendly and welcoming throughout the stay. The hotel was clean and had many scenic spots in the property, especially the beautiful Kurulu Kele area. We also enjoyed the afternoon tea there, which was such a relaxing experience. The buffet was great with a good variety of food. We had both dinner and breakfast buffets, while lunch was à la carte, and honestly, that was great too. Our room was spacious with a lovely pool view. One of my favorite moments was watching the sunset from the hotel. Overall, it was a peaceful and memorable stay."

Mount Lavinia Hotel Hotels in Colombo

Mount Lavinia Hotel

"I had high expectations so many people told be what a fabulous hotel it is and probably what they meant was what it WAS. So much history but clearly it needs so much TLC and investment. No hot water most of the time and couldn't shower when I wanted to over the 3 days. When I first arrived I actually thought it looked closed down. A lobby empty no atmosphere no furniture and a dull desk. Poor staff what they have to work with. I actually hate to think what the back of house areas look like. Cold buffet for bfast as no burners on so opted for eggs made to order. I feel just so sorry for them but this poor hotel with so much history is sliding down the gutter unless someone takes it on. Rooms so tired and absolutely old minimal amenities in room. No bath mat, rusty bin just so sad. My rate not high so not worth complaining. One of the nights I booked late so was double but they clearly need the money. I gave feedback to staff but clearly he's used to it as he said nothing, don't even remember an apology just a glare of embarrassment. I wish I could recommend this hotel but I can't. Feel so bad because it has so much history. So hope an investor comes along because it could be amazing or more like the Galle Fort Hotel that has been well maintained."

Cinnamon Life at City of Dreams Hotels in Colombo

Cinnamon Life at City of Dreams

"The hotel delivers well on core fundamentals. The room was clean, well-maintained, and notably spacious, which made the stay comfortable and practical. Check-in at reception took longer than expected, which slightly impacted the arrival experience. That said, staff were professional once the process moved forward. A major plus is the on-site casino located within the same building, offering convenient entertainment options without needing to travel elsewhere. Breakfast was acceptable overall. It met basic expectations but did not stand out in terms of variety or quality."

Amari Colombo Sri Lanka ★★★★★
"I had a really great stay at Amari Colombo. The hotel was clean, modern and very comfortable throughout. The rooms were well maintained and everything felt fresh and tidy. The location is excellent — easy to get around the city and close to everything you’d need. One of the highlights was the rooftop, which has fantastic views over Colombo. It’s a great spot to unwind and take in the skyline. Overall, a very enjoyable stay and I’d happily return."

NH Collection Colombo ★★★★★
"Not well maintained, the room smelled like wet and mold. One thing that made us very unhappy was that the curtains wouldn't close completely, so the light would come in in the morning at 6 am. The steam room was disgusting, with broken floor and mold. There were alcohol bottles hidden in the spa room, and in the gym cabinets - I LL let you guess who might have been drinking... Good location, clean room. Below average breakfast"

Sofia Colombo City Hotel ★★★★
"Stayed for 4 nights as i had a wedding to attend.  It was my first time visiting Colombo City so went in with lots of excitement in general.  Got to hotel pretty late, but was welcomed by a very friendly doorman who took all my bags.  Check in was smooth.  Room is very clean, modern, full A/C, it's all well done.  I had a nice view to the city and the ocean.  I used the gym, it's decent, has everything you need to keep yourself fit during your stay.  There are loads food places, like western to asian food all near by.  50m away from a big supermarket if you need to grab anything.  It's about 20,25 mins away from Red Mosque on Tuktuk.  I'd stay here again for sure. "

Facilities: There's a stunning 'heavenly' pool, and a chain coffee shop conveniently located next to the hotel. Service: The front desk staff are friendly and polite."
