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."

The Lion Pub & Hotel

"The hotel's location is excellent, just a 19-minute walk to the beach! It's also super convenient for dining and shopping. Plus, there's a bar on the ground floor where you can eat, drink, and even watch sports. Highly recommended!"

Berjaya Hotel Colombo

"The view is great, the facilities are satisfactory, the rooms are spacious, and the service is excellent. The staff is friendly. There's a pool, but the beach is right next door, so it's a nice walk. You can also swim. It's a great place!"

Anarva Hotel & Spa

"I recently stayed at Anarva Hotel and had an absolutely wonderful experience. From the moment I arrived, the staff went out of their way to ensure I felt welcome and comfortable. The rooms were modern, spacious, and impeccably clean, with beautiful decor that added to the relaxing atmosphere. The amenities, especially the spa and pool area, were top-notch, providing the perfect place to unwind. The hotel’s location was ideal, offering easy access to nearby attractions, yet tucked away enough to feel peaceful and private. I also have to mention the dining experience—delicious food with a great variety of local and international options. Every meal was a treat! Overall, Anarva Hotel exceeded my expectations in every way. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a luxurious and memorable stay. I will definitely be returning on my next visit!"

The Villa in Lavinia

"PLEASE DO NOT TRUST THE RATINGS OF THIS VILLA ANYWHERE! DO NOT CHOOSE TO STAY HERE UNLESS YOU’RE WILLING TO TAKE THE RISK! THE WORST PLACE I’VE EVER STAYED DURING A VACATION! 1) The location is completely isolated with nothing nearby—very deserted. 2) The Wi-Fi DOESN’T WORK at all, especially on the ground floor. 3) There's NO mobile signal—ZERO LTE/4G/5G. 4) The staff constantly ask what time you'll return if you go out late, seemingly because they want to sleep. 5) The toilet in the ground floor room (Room 3) is VERY smelly. 6) Most of the wall sockets in Room 3 on the ground floor don't work. 7) There's no elevator, so if you're staying on a higher floor, good luck carrying heavy luggage. 8) The supervisor/manager knocked on my door at 10 AM asking when I was checking out, despite our agreement the night before to check out at 11 AM. 9) The room is not soundproof. You can hear doors slamming or people chatting outside, even with your door closed, waking you up early."

Colombo Beach Hostel

"It was a great experience. The food is amazing and eating with the other travelers perfect. Great place to chill out and for swimming you can also reach to city center by public buses. It’s worth to see here and to stay here. Hi the recommended. If you will stay in a close distance to Colombo, that’s your place and if you’d like to meet with the others again this is your place."

Tropic Inn

"Friendly and helpful,Great front desk, restaurant and culinary staff. As a returning customer, they made me feel like I was coming home. The Room was clean, safe, quiet and comfortable. The elevator is an added bonus. Loved to see the living plants decorating the surroundings. Tropic inn is a hidden Gem of a hotel, in the middle of mountlavinia. it is close to all amenities and walking distance to the beach. A luncheon by special order prepared by the culinary staff served at the restaurant was a hit with all my guests. The food was excellent, served with many personal touches to make it a memorable event Kudos to Manager Mr Nishantha , Rasheed and Raveen for the personalised attention they give to all customers. A valuable asset. Regards Look forward to returning soon. Marion G."

Lavinia Bay Beach Hotel

"The location of the hotel is terrible, it is very dirty around, abandoned houses, on the territory of the hotel from the window there is a view of a sea of ​​dirt and a dump, on the site there is a well dug in which the water is dirty and smells terrible. The pool on the roof does not inspire confidence to swim there, the beach near the hotel is very dirty, there is garbage everywhere!"
