Hotels in Colombo

Nice hotel with lots of amenities. The food in the hotel was amazing especially the lamb biriani. Breakfast was okay, not really worth it. Pool is not that big.

When I booked, I didn't realize it was for one person. Trip.com said an extra person would be $10, but when I got there, they charged $70. The hotel didn't honor Trip.com's price at all. The hotel itself is quite good though; it's just a few steps to the beach and located in Colombo's best and safest area.

The location is awesome, really easy to get around. The Staff super nice and helpful. Expected cleaner rooms for a five-star. Minor letdown.

Good clean city hotel regular guest Staff are all great Rooms large a clean Pool is nice

Location is great. Walking distance to a lot of restaurants, cafes, One Galle mall, and other attractions.

The restaurant is the weakest part of the hotel: the breakfast coffee was undrinkable unless we made a special request.. We ordered soup for room service and it took two hours to get to our room which was totally unacceptable.

It is a simple hotel but a cute one. The service was good and the rooms were clean. The room was a bit noisy, we heard a lot from the floor and we didn’t like to see the birds in the pool. But the rest was good.

not good as compared with room rent

Ok good i like how it is , and this one i just book for staff. ok t hanksss

The room was clean and spacious. Staff was helpful.

Just average and I didn’t expect so much on this hotel. But I think I can find a better hotel with similar price

Stayed in one night , service ok , can’t say great but ok . For business travelers

Very good hotel. Excellent breakfast. Clean swimming pool.Spacious rooms.All Staff was very polite and friendly.Ideal for family stay.They also have cafe. Chef Raja is cooking delicious and healthy food. Value for money.

Upon arrival, the receptionist was very helpful and pleasant. The staff working at the JANAKI are respectful and happy people, creating a positive environment with their guests. The hotel bar serves lion lager and their range of products in the bar fridge, so plenty to choose from. The breakfast was very tasty, a fish curry, veg fried rice, lentil dhal, potato curry, coconut sambo and variety of...

Very good staff . But, toilets are very old and cockroaches are there most of the time.

Hotel location is good. The stay was pleasant and rooms are specious. Rooms are of old type with no cleanliness. Lots of died cockroaches in room. Food is ok and not so great. Did not find amenities. Staff is good and very supportive

Great stay in Colombo I had a great couple of nights at Hotel Janaki. The room had all the amenities you would want and the staff was courteous and helped me with booking a cab. I would recommend this hotel

I recently had the chance to experience Hotel Janaki in Colombo for a few hours, and here’s a quick review of my experience: The hotel is well-located, with convenient access to key parts of Colombo, which is a plus. The staff were friendly and welcoming, making the short stay comfortable. The lobby is clean and well-maintained, offering a pleasant first impression. However, when it comes to the...

Nice place. But toilet window shouldn’t be transparent

A very good stay at Mirage.. I must specially thanks to mr. Aloka front office who helped me a lot with my last minute. reservation

We stayed here for 2 nights to explore Colombo before heading inland. The hotel provides an early checkin for free but only from 10 o'clock. We were there already at 7 as our flight landed at 6. For those 3 hours we still had to pay extra (-1*). Staff is very welcoming and friendly, both in the hotel and adjoining restaurant. The room on the top floor keeps you away from the noise (passing trains you...

Friendly and respectful staffs with best view. I booked via phonecall before 5 minutes to arrival Staffs are very helpful to get it faster and better

The view of the Indian Ocean from the room window was beautiful. I was able to become friends with all the staff. There is a beautiful sandy beach in front of the hotel.

We just visited to mirage for a short stay just for one night and I feel like this is a hidden beautiful hotel in Colombo. The room I got was a specious room with sea view Reasonable prices and tasty food. Helpful staff.

The building is old, colonial, and the lobby is huge. But the rooms are average. A strange smell kept coming, the corridors are shady. But the location is great. Just 20mins walk to the galle face.

One of the best hotels i ever been to. It was in a quiet area and close to many attractions in the city. Loved their breakfast, dinner buffet and their roof top pool side view of Indian ocean. There are also many restaurants near by. Staff was polite and helpful.

Although the hotel boasts a history of over 150 years and has hosted the Queen of England, it's really run-down. My room had cockroaches, geckos, and mosquitoes – a complete mini-ecosystem! The only positives were the cheap price and the decent breakfast. The dining area is right by the sea, offering beautiful harbor views.

Steeped in over a century of heritage, the Grand Oriental Hotel is more than just a place to stay — it’s a historical landmark overlooking Colombo Harbour that takes you back to the days of colonial Ceylon. Originally the site of a simple façade once occupied by the Dutch Governor, the property was converted into British Army barracks in 1837 before being transformed into the elegant **Grand Oriental...

I visited this restaurant yesterday with my family and a friend, and while the service staff was exemplary, the dining experience itself was highly disappointing. The Service I must begin by commending the restaurant manager and the bar staff. They were incredibly polite, professional, and helpful throughout our stay. Their hospitality is a credit to the establishment. The Kitchen & Food Quality...

A charming heritage hotel with classic colonial-style architecture and a great view of the Colombo Harbour. 🏨⚓✨ Rooms are spacious, and the atmosphere feels nostalgic. 🛌 Friendly staff and a peaceful setting make it a nice spot for a quiet stay or a relaxing meal. 😊🍽️ A good choice for those who enjoy historic hotels with character. 🏛️💛

staff was extremely friendly, the restaurant very flexible (appreciate this!) and the rooftop coffee bar is very convenient . We had two great evenings here, which obviously also added up to the experience.

A convenient hotel for business trips. The staff are warm and attentive. Nisantha, Lakmal and Wijeweer helped with luggage and cleaning late at night. The economy is not good, and it seems that not many people come.

The service is very good, the facilities are relatively old, and the domestic three-star level. Suitable for business trips, the rooftop bar is well received.

Good location, helpful staff, closed to town, not very crowded, easy to get cars going outside, recommend to any people

Good location, helpful staff, closed to town, not very crowded, easy to get cars going outside, recommend to any people

Breakfast not available ..optional al la carte

On thourofare, grand and stylish hotel. Clean, dining hall on 1st floor. Good AC and bathroom. Nice food. Ambience of dining hall is graceful

Convenient & easy transport links. Friendly staff

Our stay was comfortable. Staff were very friendly and helpful.

I have been staying at this hotel for more than six years, often visiting twice a year, and I can confidently say their service is exceptional. The staff are always courteous and helpful—even in the middle of the night, the reception team answers calls and goes above and beyond to assist. The rooms are always clean and tidy, equipped with tea and coffee making facilities, a mini fridge, and free Wi...

Great place to stay as it’s in the center of town & can easily reach other places. Customer service is excellent. We had to leave one of our suitcase with them. They kept it safe for no extra charge.

Small but decent and clean room. Staff very polite and helpful. Toilet and bathroom are clean and properly maintained.

I recently stayed at the Colombo Court Hotel, and while it offers good value and excellent rooms, the hospitality felt a bit rigid for a tourist. First, the bright spots: The room itself was fantastic. It was large, impeccably clean, and featured great-quality sheets with plenty of excellent pillows. The bathroom was stocked with plush towels and quality toiletries. Since I arrived fighting a cold...

We couldn’t thank everyone properly earlier as we were extremely busy after the wedding, but it is truly important to do so now. First and foremost, a heartfelt thank you to Ms. Binuri for coordinating and managing everything so beautifully, and for being patient with us during stressful moments. Your support meant a lot to us. Our wedding day turned out exactly as we had dreamed, and we absolutely...

I stayed a wonderful couple of days at Colombo Court. The hotel is lovely and the room spacious and very comfortable. The staff are really friendly, helpful and there is always someone around if you need anything. I had a wonderful massage at the spa as well, which really added to the luxury experience. I would absolutely stay here again!

Had a wonderful one-night stay at Colombo Court Hotel with my family. The hospitality was excellent and the food was outstanding. Special thanks to Chef Ashok and his team. Loved the vegetarian options—Veg Hyderabadi Biryani, Penne Arrabbiata, and Butter Naan with Chole an ended with a dessert Timmarasu and all were too delicious and fantastic Highly recommend!

The hotel staff were very kind and helpful. I had a wonderful, relaxing stay. I would definitely want to use this hotel again next time.

It was okay, but the room was a bit small.

The Pure Hellwind Hotel was a good choice for a one-night stay in Kulumbo.

Now I am in Bangladesh. Compared with Sri Lanka, Sri Lanka is so good. This hotel is very clean, close to the beach, and very quiet. The hotel staff are very enthusiastic.

The room is OK, the food is average

Excellent service, I recommend.

The price/performance ratio is OK, but it is not recommended for those who want to pursue quality enjoyment

Nice boutique hotel, very friendly staff, good location. Breakfast and food choices to be improved.

A lovely old fashioned hotel with lots of character staff were very helpful and I really enjoyed staying here

Staying at Maniumpathy was a wonderful start to our first ever trip to Sri Lanka, which was situated in a quiet neighbourhood, only a short tuk-tuk ride away from the hustle and bustle of Colombo. A small Colonial-style boutique hotel with 7 rooms and a swimming pool, our suite was spacious, beautifully designed and furnished, with an outside balcony overlooking the pretty manicured gardens and pool...

Maniumpathy Boutique Hotel is truly top-notch. The service is attentive, warm, and professional without ever feeling overbearing. Breakfast was excellent with a good choice of dishes, all prepared with care. The location is very good, yet the property feels like a peaceful retreat from the city. Our room was large, quiet, and beautifully appointed, and the setting overall is lovely. The interior courtyard...

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.

The last stop on our Sri Lankan holiday. A superb boutique hotel. An oasis of calm set against the chaos of Colombo. The hotel is very peaceful. Super smallish pool. Food is of a really high quality. Check out the bar.. a real throw back to colonial times. The staff were excellent and really add to the family feel of he hotel. Would definitely recommend!!

Room n cleaning need to upgrade

It seems the hotel is needed to renewed and services was good.

Even though weather is unpredictable...its a nice place to visit

The stay was extremely disappointing. There was no proper guidance or hospitality I had to go to the bar myself just to ask about events and available drinks, and they couldn’t even provide basic bottled water. I understand they serve their water in glass bottles and that it’s their style, but sometimes we prefer sealed plastic bottled water for safety reasons. The food is very overpriced, with a big...

The hotel room is tidy, but the service is lacking I asked for a dinner plate with no reply The phone to reception is not working WiFi is bad and TV can't connect Very disappointed

Clean hotel, friendly staff, beautiful rooftop views and pool.

Didn't get the welcome drink as mentioned in the booking. Room was neat and clean.

If you like the city and it's cheap, you can come here, but it's a bit noisy

Pathetic. No cleaning of rooms inspite asking for it. No toiletries. Breakfast option very limited. Also server in portions only.

It is a usual business hotel at a very prominent location on galle road. I hope they improve on the services and overall cleanliness especially the cockroaches seen in room and bathroom.

The facilities are old, the carpets don't look very clean, and the worst thing is that there is a smell of sewer in the room. The cleanest and most comfortable place is the lobby. It feels like this hotel is ready to be phased out. You get what you pay for. I didn't expect the price of a hotel in the capital of Sri Lanka to be so high. The price of such a hotel is much higher than that of similar hotels...

Nice place, more importantly friendly staff who made my stay pleasant. Definitely there is room for improvement in terms of tidiness, food and providing amenities (i had to call reception and ask for towels, water and coffee sachets, but this is not a big worry for me as they sorted things in few minutes. I love this place and definitely my first choice for the next visit to colombo. The place is close...

Extremely well decorated, small, boutique hotel in a fancy area of Colombo. Rooms are big, well appointed and charming. The food in the restaurant is delicious. Probably, the best bisque I have ever had. Decent breakfast.

Wonderful hotel with a lot of history. Very colonnial so one dhould expect the suites to look like they need renovating which is a criticism I have seen in other reviews. It does not! The room was large, airy and had good lighting. Cleanliness all round the hotel was excellent. The outside courtyard is a very pleasant area to sit in whether it is just to relax, have a drink or dine. The food was excellent...

Wow!! This is our first time to Sri Lanka and we began our trip here at the Tintagel. We loved this hotel so much and cannot recommend it enough!!!! The staff were absolutely fantastic, so kind and friendly, always ready to lend a hand and make suggestions. They made our stay wonderful. The food was also incredible, we had lunch and breakfast here and both were 10/10. Beautiful pool and bar. Great...

An incredible stay couldn’t fault them in any way. Highly recommend.

Because of the work of architect Bawa, we chose this place as our first stop in Sri Lanka. It is a niche light luxury hotel with great rooms in the style of Bawa. It is said to be the former private residence of the Prime Minister, specializing in entertaining heads of state and the British royal family. The service is very good, and the breakfast and dinner are also delicious (the dinner is said to...

We really liked this hotel for the location and the history. The staff was amazing and we didn’t feel like we were in the city.

It was overall a very good experience. We enjoyed our trip at hotel nippon

Excellent hotel, wonderful atmosphere, beautiful views

Really good place! Good option for long term staying. But breakfast was cold(

Best location. Centre of the capital. Good transport arround.

Hotel Nippon Colombo offers a decent stay with a few hits and misses. The rooms were okay — fairly clean, but could use some updating in terms of decor and maintenance. Service was polite but a bit slow at times, and certain amenities felt a little dated. That said, the food was absolutely fantastic. The restaurant really impressed us with flavorful Sri Lankan dishes and a variety of options that...

Check-in was too slow. The room is damp, the quilt is damp, and there are a lot of mosquitoes at night

I found this hotel very professional. Location & room view was as per my requirements. I took sea view room, which is really nice.

I stayed at this hotel as I had a late night event to attend in Colombo. Hotel is perhaps old and perhaps in need of refurbishments. Bed is comfortable. However, cleanliness of the bathroom cold be improved - I saw hairs of previous guests in the shower, and there was mould in the grout.

Amazing views from the room! Fantastic stay

To be honest, this hotel is older than I thought. Just an old normal hotel.

near to everything but very small rooms

We got the best experience in the hotel from the location, room and staff all delivered.

The staff were amazing. We were a family of 5 with very young children, who were very active. The staff were very patient with the chaos that's our family and jumped in to help at every opportunity. Re booked them for our stay after our return from the resorts.

The room was spacious. House keeping was good. The breakfast had bread and butter most of the days. Should have some variety for breakfast. The staff were helpful and courteous.

Room beds clean. Clean room very satisfied. Air conditioning very good. TV connection problem. Bathroom need improvement. The doors and tiles require little improvement. Shower taps not working properly. Washbasin stopper not working.

Only good thing is, you can do early check-in for an extra fee, around 1/3 of whatever you paid for a day. Normal check-in time is 2pm, but I checked in at 4am by paying extra. Furniture, carpet and building look very old. Staff were friendly. They lock the hotel main door at 10pm and open at 6am. You need to call a mobile number to ask them to unlock the main door. They answered my 6th call when I...

This property was advertised as breakfast included. that's one of the reason i chose. It was limited to bread, butter, marmalade and an omelet. Wery disappointing. The bathrooms looked very old and not cleaned properly. Other than the house keeping staff and door man, no one bothered to ask how our stay was. Will not recommend this hotel to anyone.

Place was okay people and service good! Was a lit loud during night but it calmed down after 1.30am

My sister hosted my birthday party at this hotel on the rooftop, and we had a superb experience. The staff were extremely kind and supportive, and the service was excellent throughout. A special thank to the team( in charge) who made sure everything was perfectly in place and took great care of all the details. The food was excellent and added so much to the overall experience. The venue is beautiful...

Good for one night in Colombo. They let us check in after delayed flight and organised a tuktuk the next day to bus station

I’ve stayed at this hotel four times now, and every visit has been an amazing experience! The food is excellent, and the hospitality is truly wonderful. I love the peaceful farm views and the balcony, which make for a relaxing stay. The hotel is very clean, and the restaurant and bar are fantastic. One of the senior staff members speaks Tamil, which was a nice touch, and while most staff members speak...

The facilities are clean, friendly, and comfortable.

I went me and my husband and unfortunately the stay was not so much great , hotel showing beach photos and when we reached we didn’t see any beach near by . Lady at the reception very bad attitude and not professional. Swimming pool is so dirty we found so many dirty things and insects in it . I don’t recommend it to anyone

location is good.. view also great.. (rice fields) Roof top Viewing point is priceless.. at night so Peaceful restaurant and food also So tasty and Hotel Staff team is very friendly..

The hotel is centrally located next to the Dutch Hospital. Therefore, you have to put up with music until 1 or 2 a.m., which penetrates through closed windows, regardless of which side of the room your room is on. The rooms and public areas are nicely furnished and spacious. Our bed was comfortable, and the bathroom was very good. There's a small snack bar in front of the hotel where you can have...

Nice located directly beside of the Dutch Hospital. Need to ask twice for toiletries, but finally they were delivered. Breakfast on the Rooftop was of good quality too.

The room had a slightly strange smell, and the overall stay was just average.

very good value for money. I paid $50 Australian dollars for 1 night in the central part of Colombo city.

A good hotel near the station for further travel to Kandy, easy to get to on foot. The rooms are small, stuffy at night and the air conditioning does not cope well. The breakfast is good and filling.

The room is accessed with a key, the switch is old-fashioned, and the shower room is rather shabby. If you are on a business trip, the cost standard can only be of this level. If you are traveling alone, this hotel is a bit old.

Very nice hotel in Colombo. Clean, quiet, great staff, good price. Came here two times already. Will come next time, thank you

I stayed in a standard room. The card machine was not working and I had to withdraw money from an ATM and give it to them. The AC was not working in the first room that I was given. Then they gave me another room, but there was this bad smell coming from the carpets. May be the room was not used for a while. TV is not working. No hot water in the shower. I stayed there for two nights. I didn't take...

It was good in the way they accomodated me though I reached before the check in time. Moreover, their staff is nice and facilitating. The problem faced was that their AC maintainance is not good and I had to change three rooms due to AC not working in the first two rooms. One more thing, they do not provide washroom slippers though they should. Most of the hotels do provide disposable ones but not...

Me and my family stayed there on 10.06.2025 for one night.I was interested in this hotel for several important reasons. So, I though add my review here. Its location in the heart of Colombo city offers very easy access to all the iconic places, shopping malls, and restaurants. The beautiful view of the Colombo Lotus Tower can be directly witnessed from the room. The rooms were very neat, clean, and...

The room was ok its clean. And the location is good. Theyre friendly and nice. Thank you

I 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...

A good 👍 place to stay with your family and friends. The fort view and the busy environment will make you feel good. AC facility, attached bathroom and good bedrooms are in the rooms.

All in All so so experience Staff is courteous Room is big but AC was not so effective Wash room light smell comes Shower water flow is slow Water was not that hot Location is good They happily gave me 6th floor good view of the port Lot of markets near by Lot of temples near by

Travelled here with my dad Beautiful location In little India Plenty of Indian restaurants here

Stay was pleasant with relatively tidy rooms. The staff at the hotel are fantastic - they went above and beyond for us when we had a problem. Allowed us to keep luggage there for a little longer before we went out for the day before going to the airport. Very good location to go visit the markets. I would highly recommend - you pay for what you get!

The photos and the actual thing are very different. It's close to Fort Station, so that's it.

I stayed here for long time. It's very comfortable stay with helpful employees like Dushyant is very good person by helping nature. Wonderful holiday 👍👍👍
