Granbell Hotel Colombo

Granbell Hotel Colombo

📍 282/5 Kollupitiya Road, Marine Drive, Colombo 03, Colombo
★★★★ 9.0 (1,232 reviews)

"I highly recommend this hotel! The environment is clean and refreshing, and the overall atmosphere is quiet and comfortable. The rooms are spacious and come with all the basic amenities you'd need. It's hard to find such a great deal at this price point; the value for money is absolutely outstanding. The service truly impressed me. All the staff members were warm and friendly, always greeting guests and promptly attending to any requests with meticulous care. My entire stay was hassle-free, and the overall experience was excellent. It's my top choice for accommodation when traveling, and I've already recommended it to my friends. I'll definitely be booking here again next time!"

Sheraton Colombo Hotel

Sheraton Colombo Hotel

📍 265 Galle Rd, Colombo 03, Colombo
★★★★★ 9.2 (107 reviews)

"Not bad at all. It was raining heavily in Bangladesh, and this hotel felt quite safe with good security. The staff were all very enthusiastic. The only downside was the humid weather, but the room was spacious and the air conditioning worked well."

Marino Beach Colombo

Marino Beach Colombo

📍 590 Marine Drive, Colombo 03, Colombo
★★★★★ 9.4 (473 reviews)

"⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good stay, great staff — pool‑side dining rules a drawback The team at Marino Beach Hotel were absolutely amazing warm, attentive, and always ready to help, which made my stay really pleasant and comfortable. The one disappointment was the strict policy: Food are not allowed near the pool or sun‑lounge areas, only in one corner of the rooftop Level 10. This isn’t a practical choice many guests want to relax and enjoy a light meal or snack while staying by the water. Having to dry off and change fully to enter the restaurant meant it was often empty, and I think the hotel misses out on extra business this way. Otherwise, a nice, well‑kept property with lovely people just hope they review that rule soon."

Mandarina Colombo

Mandarina Colombo

📍 433 A2, Colombo 03, Colombo
★★★★ 9.1 (314 reviews)

"I have very mixed feelings about this hotel. It really depends on the room you get. I was initially put in a room that, as I later found out, desperately needed renovations. The air conditioning started leaking during the night, with water dripping right onto the bed. Everything in the room looked old, and the AC unit itself was ancient. The next morning, I was moved to a completely different room. The air conditioning and TV were all new, and the room was much cleaner and more modern overall. Why couldn't they have just put me in a room like that to begin with? They just had to give me a worse one first. I demanded compensation in the form of breakfast for the inconvenience, and they very reluctantly provided it in the end. It seems like the staff tries, but it all feels a bit disingenuous."

Morven Hotel Colombo

📍 213 Galle Rd, Colombo 03, Colombo

"I had a wonderful stay at this hotel, everything was perfect. The staff are incredibly kind, welcoming, and always ready to help. The reception team especially made me feel comfortable and well taken care of throughout my stay. If you’re thinking about booking, don’t hesitate! this is a great place to stay!"

Pullman Colombo City Centre

Pullman Colombo City Centre

📍 24 Srimath Anagarika Dharmapala Mawatha, Colombo 03, Colombo
★★★★★ 8.4 (108 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"

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."

The Villa in Lavinia Hotels in Colombo

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."

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."

Sheraton Colombo Hotel ★★★★★
"Facilities: The facilities are very new, and the bedding is very comfortable. Hygiene: The hygiene is excellent. Service: The service is good, and the breakfast selection is rich. Environment: The environment is nice. The room offers direct views of the sea and the famous 'internet-famous' mini-train. Compared to some other five-star hotels, it's a bit further from popular restaurants and shopping malls."

Pullman Colombo City Centre ★★★★★
"Craving a city escape where you’re pampered from check-in to the last sunset cocktail? NH Collection Colombo stands out in Sri Lanka’s buzzing capital, blending urban convenience, plush comfort, and picture-perfect sea views. 🌊 Whether you’re here for business or to soak up Colombo’s historic streets, this hotel is your launchpad for adventure and relaxation. From the moment you arrive at 24 Srimath Anagarika Dharmapala Mawatha, the friendly staff greets you with warm Sri Lankan hospitality, always quick to assist and happy to share local tips. The large, airy rooms are a guest favorite, especially those with panoramic sea views—wake up to sunlight dancing on the Indian Ocean and enjoy a serene start in a comfy, neat space. Make time for the rooftop Infinity Pool & Bar, an insta-worthy spot for sunset sips or just lazing with a view. The hotel’s location means you’re steps from the coastline, handy markets, and Colombo’s vibrant city life. Breakfast is a true highlight: feast on everything from Sri Lankan hoppers to European classics. It’s the kind of breakfast spread that fuels exploration all day long. For the best experience, secure a sea-facing room and double-check your breakfast package upon booking to avoid confusion later. And don’t miss the nearby Galle Face Green at sunset, just a short stroll away—perfect for local snacks and people-watching. Booking tip: Reserve early on trip.com, especially for high-floor, ocean-view rooms. If you want maximum relaxation, take advantage of the rooftop pool in the quieter morning hours."
