Honestly, this kind of setup made me feel a bit tense and unable to relax. I was looking forward to the sea view when I woke up, but the weather wasn't great that day; neither the sky nor the sea were very blue
The advantage of the large floor-to-ceiling windows wasn't really utilized, which was a bit disappointing. After leaving the hotel, the street outside was full of tuk-tuks, emitting a strong diesel smell
We arrived in the middle of the night, and as soon as we entered the hotel, there were two layers of security checks: first, military personnel with sniffer dogs, and then the hotel's own security
The hotel facilities are great, but the atmosphere was a bit tense. Overall, the hotel itself is good; the rooms and service are all up to par. However, this experience felt a bit strange
Amazing location, great staff, clean n perfect amenities and most of all, amazing breakfast buffet
Shang Palace is as delicious as ever, and the chef even came out to greet us, which was lovely! Our room faced the sea, and we enjoyed two beautiful sunsets! The second floor has direct access to the mall, with all the tourist-favorite brands located near the hotel
Five star hotel in Galle Road. Have a nice open wedding hall. Service is great. Food is good and tasty. Valet parking available. Clean and well maintained. Supportive and friendly staff.
Great experience nothing much to add.. had a rain calamity which exposed the age of the property but the hotel did well to resolve it to satisfaction.
Amazing hotel. Very good staff and service. They always greet you smiling. They upgraded us to Executive room for a small price. Fahad- thanks for all your help.
Breakfast spread is amazing. Everything is worth trying.
Excellent hotel, a little run down in parts but the staff and service were excellent. Would definitely recommend
Enjoyed the hotel customer staff service by a senior Mr Samantha who helped to checkin. Breakfast was good as usual and waitress are attentive
The breakfast was fabulous so was room service. Authentic Sri Lankan cuisine was of a superb presentation, quality & taste. I look forward to when I can return, spend more time and try out the restaurants
Very pleased with my stay here. Staff is friendly and helpful. The complimentary breakfast has a nice spread. Rooms are clean and tidy. Gym and swimming pool is well maintained. All in all a great stay.
Great experience. Breakfast had plenty of options. Pool is big and well maintained
Cinnamon Lake offers a wonderful overall experience. The facilities are well maintained and comfortable, the food is fresh, tasty, and well presented, and the service is warm and attentive without being intrusive
Check in was very smooth and staff was very helpful and excellent service delivery. We had an early morning check out, they have arranged a nice breakfast. Room was very nice with very good view
My room was quite large for a single occupant, with good view of galle face and the ocean beyond. I only had breakfast at the hotel which had nice spread. The staff were very friendly and helpful too.
It was 8 degree. Different experience. I'd been sailing in the lake for over 2 hours. Great fun. Tasty food add more value to it
My second stay in same year was even more memorable. Wonderful cuisine and comfortable rooms. Nice hospitable staff and amazing view of the Beach.
I’ve visited Galadari Hotel numerous times for both high tea and dinner buffets, and it never disappoints! The variety of food is excellent, with options that suit every taste
The view from our room was absolutely stunning and added to the overall relaxing experience. One of the highlights was definitely the delicious food every meal was a treat! The variety and taste exceeded our expectations
The facilities were top-notch, with comfortable seating and good lighting. The hotel staff were attentive and responsive, providing excellent service throughout our stay
The flavours are consistently great, and everything is always fresh and well presented. What I truly appreciate is that the price is very affordable considering the quality and selection
It was a great place to spend quality time with my family, and we created many lovely memories together. I would highly recommend Galadari Hotel to anyone visiting Colombo
Its a beautiful 5 Star Hotel with all the expected requirements happily checked off. Great Food. Good Service. Friendly and helpful staff. There's also a spectacular view of the Colombo Sea from the sea-side rooms.
Great location, close to a lot of restaurants, cafes, bars, and One Galle Face Mall. The hotel is well kept albeit old. Beautiful and cozy lobby and cafe. The greatest of all is the staff
Everyone was very friendly and helpful. Taj Samudra is the perfect home away from home whenever in Colombo. Will definitely stay here again
The hotel boasts excellent facilities, making it perfect for business travel. The breakfast was also quite enjoyable.
Samudra Ballroom... Super for wedding functions....
Highly Recommended...💯
Delicious Foods.. 😊
Friendly staff and super service....
Iconic panoramic view... Beautiful Sea side view....
Super...💯💯
Located in the prime place of Colombo. Beach facing hotel and you can walk across the road to beach. Sea food especially prawns were very good. Big swimming pool with good maintenance
The best part was the beach itself it felt like a private one for the hotel, peaceful and not crowded at all. Perfect place to relax and unwind
We stayed at Koggala Long Beach Resort for our office annual trip (38 pax, full board, beach-view rooms). Room rates were reasonable, food was very good as they operate as a 3-star hotel and staff service was excellent
The hotel has two swimming pools which were clean and relaxing, and the beautiful beach right in front is perfect for sunset walks. The staff were very friendly and helpful, always with a smile
The location was very beautiful, adjuscent to the sea. The sight of the sea was welcoming. We booked a suite for 4 persons. The view of the see from the room was fantastic
With our request of change the room (for better sight of the sea). they cleaned another room very quickly. Nishantha on attending to this is commendable. Anyway, 'earler the better' rule is applicable to the buffet
Amazing Stay at Long Beach Resort! I had a good experience at Long Beach Resort. The service was top-notch, and the food was absolutely marvelous with a great variety to choose from
The sandy beach is gently sloping, the sea is warm, and the water is clear. You'll see a lot of families and children on the beach. It's definitely a family-friendly hotel, with about 80% Russian guests
We absolutely loved the Araliya Hotel. It's a great hotel with a fantastic beach, sand, and sea
It has all you need for a relaxing vacation. The rooms are spacious and clean, and all have sea views. The bathroom is also quite large. Nearby, there's a street with restaurants and shops offering good prices
They have excellent sun loungers exclusively for guests, and the beachfront area is guarded, so you don't have to worry about outsiders taking them. The beach bar/restaurant is superb, with excellent service
They always have cold beer, delicious cocktails, fresh fruit, and fish. Every day, they'd bring out freshly caught tuna and announce it to the whole beach, which was quite a highlight
It’s nice beach side with healthy climate surrounding
It was a reasonable size, with a comfortable bed. The foyer and seating areas always seemed crowded. The only place to relax was at the pool. Pedestrian access to the hotel is problematic
Superb star class hotel in Colombo. They have pool bar and rooftop bar and everything. Very much recommend for fine dining. Good spacious rooms and clean bathrooms. Friendly staff and very good customer service
Facilities: It's an old hotel, but well-maintained, and the pool is quite nice
Environment: Strong Christmas atmosphere, and there's always live performances in the lobby, which is amazing! In the morning after breakfast, I saw a young man playing the piano, and in the evening, there was a band playing
This hotel is very nice and clean. Staff are very welcoming and friendly. The food is really good! I will definitely go back to this hotel.
The hotel rooms are a bit dated. But it was clean and the food was amazing. Good staff as well.
The room had a small sofa and was decorated in a predominantly red color scheme. The swimming pool offered a great view, though the water was a bit cold
Rooftop swimming pool Breakfast Staff great view all hotel looks very new and well maintained
I had a very pleasant stay at this hotel. The room was clean and comfortable, and the staff were friendly and helpful. The location is convenient and close to many attractions
A hotel with basics. Ample of parking space and helpful ground staff is there. Room is with basic amenities. Pool is not much attractive. Food is not at the best as well.
Overall, it was a great experience, and I would recommend this hotel to others
Morden midrange Hotel with a very clean and comfortable room, in particular the bed. We slept very well as we arrived Colombo midnight. A Rooftop swimming pool with good views
In parting, we were not charged in the bar for cocktails - a gift from the hotel to friends)), the Reception is also courteous and attentive, there was a delay in transfer and it was seen as sincerely worried about the discrepancy
I stayed here for two nights and found the experience to be average. The location is definitely the best part of this hotel—you can’t beat it for convenience
I have to commend reception staff Anjala, who managed upsell me a Premium Seaview Room from a Superior Seaview Room
Visited Colombo during off-peak season so we managed to visit the city with less crowd
Views from any sea-facing room is incredible for its price - slight blocking with 2 towers in front but you can get a better unblocked view if you go for Premium tier rooms
He took the time to explain the differences between each tier, accommodated to my budget constraints, and brought me to each room (empty ones of course) for a viewing before committing to an upgrade
A fantastic hotel right on the beach. We had a wonderful room with a view of the sea. A beautiful garden with a huge pool. The warm and friendly staff made our stay unforgettable
We had a wonderful family vacation at the Fortress. We enjoyed everything: the room, pool, beach, gym and delicious food and drinks
Nalin and Namal kept the room well stocked and immaculate. The pool guys looked after all our needs around the pool area and the sun beds were very comfortable
The food is as delicious as it was two years ago thanks to the Exec chef and all his staff. Thank you all!! Our room was upgraded upon arrival which was very much appreciated
We have just returned from another great two weeks staying at The Fortress,Sri Lanka. There have been a few changes since we were there last in 2023
Thanks again to everyone, sorry that I can’t remember everyone’s name but you all made our holiday truly memorable. Hope to see everyone again soon
Both rooms we booked had great sea views. The beach was perfect for a stroll; the waves were gentle, and it only took a few minutes to walk to the beach. Compared to other attractions, I preferred staying at the hotel
1. Big room with wonderful balcony 2. Good Wi-Fi 3. Beautiful seashore 4. Water supply and adapters were provided;-) 5. Tasty food
Incredible destination, people that work in the hotel are very helpful. Highly recommend the private dinner on the beach!
Great property and excellent service by the entire team.
The beach is uncrowded, but busy with local "helpers," and there's virtually nowhere to go outside the grounds. On the plus side, the breakfast is decent. At around $300 a night, it's not worth the money
The service was really good, and the guy who gave the red envelopes had a really warm smile. His smile can really make people happy. I just learned to swim not long ago, and I am super obsessed with the swimming pool
The swimming pool attendants did their job very well, and the Front Office Manager was excellent and handled everything professionally. A special mention goes to Dammi, the hotel animator
The rooms could be upgraded, and the swimming pool requires attention as many tiles are damaged and need fixing
He is a truly wonderful person with great experience in the hotel industry. He explained everything clearly, especially about the sea conditions, which was very helpful for us
Dammi's aqua aerobics classes are especially fantastic. I did it first time - it's very interesting and fun activity. Dammi is always smiling and very friendly with all guests. I am very pleased with the hotel
This hotel staff and food very tasty and we enjoyed all.front office team and restaurant team also good, special thanks to mashi and sajini
He is an outstanding animator and does an excellent job. My wife and children were very happy with our visit, and we enjoyed our time at Citrus. We hope that when we visit again, the hotel facilities will be improved
I really like the breakfast and dinner of this hotel, and the view from my room is amazing as well.
The number of rooms should be updated by the repair. The beach and the restaurant - excellent.
Fastastic trip. Good food, excellent stuff, all for your rest…
My friends had wonderful 15nights at Cinnamon bey Beruwala. Highly recommend to everyone. They organised small cake on my friend's birthday and room decorated with suprise. Really amazing! Thank you for everything!
On the downside, the reading light was broken, there were no bathroom slippers or robes, and the shampoo, lotion, and conditioner bottles were made of ceramic. If these ceramic bottles break, they could cause injury
All the staff were friendly, kids activity center is a plus and the surroundings were very spacious and pleasant. The rooms were good, and I would definitely recommend their service, giving it a double thumbs up
For example, the last dinner at the hotel, we made 50% discount as an apology)
All beaches in Sri Lanka state, so often swimming in the ocean, you can meet locals who offer some trips or just a trip to the city
First, I must say the staff here is amazing. They were friendly and helpful from the moment we called to make the reservation, especially Miss Senaya at the front desk, who went out of her way to assist us
The food was delicious, the room super clean, and the staff service excellent. The pool is amazing, and overall, the experience was top-notch from start to finish
Highly recommend for anyone looking for a perfect beach getaway!
The front desk was super nice and suggested that we upgrade to the ocean side instead of the railway side, because the railway side is a little noisy when the train passes by
The hotel could use a little renovation, but since everything was well maintained, it didn’t affect our stay at all. Overall, we had a wonderful experience!
- The furniture in the living room has an unpleasant smell and is dirty;
- The iron board is dirty;
- The curtains need to be changed;
Reception:
+ They are polite;
+ Check-in was quickly;
Restaurant (breakfast and dinner):
+ The quality of the products is high;
+ Variety of dishes;
+ The chefs are great;
- There are a lot of guests on Saturday and Sunday due to the holidays, the priority for hotel...

FIVE STAR HOTEL WITH TEN STAR STAFF !! KEEP DOING WHAT YOU ARE DOING AND KEEP SMILING YOU GUYS ARE SUCH AMAZING PROFESSIONALS THANK YOU FOR a WONDERFUL STAY FROM ALL OUR FAMILY
Very nice hotel, ultra clean, perfect rooms , comfortable beds. Very good restaurant, rental car counter, spa, bike rental, huge pool, close to airport , good rate.
I recently stayed at Vivanta Colombo Airport Gardens and had a mixed experience. The pool area is absolutely fabulous, offering a great place to relax
Fully accessible if you have reduced mobility, a quick ride from the airport and full of the hospitality and charm that Sri Lanka is known for. The grounds are beautiful and the food at breakfast was delightful
However, the pricing felt a bit steep for what was offered, especially given the disappointing room view which was just overlooking buildings, contrary to the picturesque images advertised
I particularly liked that there was a giant superstore right opposite the entrance, perfect for picking up things you might have forgotten on your way there or goodies for your trip back
The food exceeded my expectations, with wonderful flavors and a good variety. The staff were notably attentive, contributing positively to the overall experience
However, the service does need some improvement. The contact numbers provided, even within the room, were not functioning properly, which made it difficult to reach room service or other hotel services when needed
Especially the Sanjaya cafe employee and the senior receptionist Dilshan Thilakarathne, whom you can turn to for help at any time and at any time
I recently stayed at NH Bentota, and overall, it was a very enjoyable experience. The hotel itself was clean, well-maintained, and had a relaxing atmosphere
The rooms were comfortable and nicely kept, which made the stay quite pleasant. One of the highlights was definitely the food — everything we tried was delicious, and the variety and quality were impressive
There were some stains on the bed linen, but apparently it just couldn't be washed out, I found one or two
Environment: Beautiful environment, facing the swimming pool and the beach. The sand on the beach is very fine, so you can go without shoes without worrying about the pain
The price is also quite reasonable. They also provide a cool parking solution as well where you can actually use are to use a lift to park your vehicle in the basement. The staff is quite friendly as well
Narrow but beautiful street where the hotel is located. Lift facility for car parking. I parked my bicycle there and itbwas safe to park there. Staff very cooperative and always with smiling face
A great hotel in a good location in the center of Colombo. Comfortable and spacious rooms of a high standard and very tasty food
Other places like Galle Face Mall one od thr largest mall here was also nearby. Each tourist place was well within the reach from here. Hospitality was quite good and i had no issue while staying here
We stayed as a family with an elderly member and a child, and took two rooms. The rooms were super clean, the mattresses were comfortable, and we had a really good night’s sleep
The service was top-notch, providing us with tremendous support and assistance in a crisis situation during our trip
