Colombo Colombo 03 Hotels

Mandarina Colombo is a modern hotel with clean rooms and a hot shower, offering easy access to the city. PickMe rides are readily available, and it's about a 40-minute drive from Bandaranaike Colombo Airport. The hotel is conveniently located, just an 8-10 minute tuk-tuk ride from Gangaramaya Temple and the surrounding lake. The room was well-equipped with coffee and tea sachets, a kettle, bottled water, basic toiletries, and fresh towels. The bed and pillows were comfortable, ensuring a good night's rest. Facilities include a mini gym and a rooftop pool, adding to the overall experience. A great choice for business travelers, couples, or anyone looking for a short, comfortable stay in Colombo.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The staff were warm and welcoming, providing excellent hospitality throughout my visit. The room itself was in premium condition—clean, well-maintained, and tastefully furnished. One of the highlights was the balcony, which offered a stunning view of the Indian Ocean, perfect for relaxing or sunsets. The hotel’s location is also a big plus, with easy access to most of the main attractions in the area. Highly recommended for both comfort and convenience!

Really lovely new hotel only a short walk or tuk tuk ride from Galle Face area. Room was excellent - the sofa could do with a steam clean but the rest of the room and bathroom immaculate. Stunning views from room and rooftop pool and bar over the water and Colombo. Staff really lovely. Would stay here again!!

The service is good, the room is clean and the view is great. We booked this place mainly for the Chinese food on the third floor. Going downstairs, you can go directly to the best local shopping mall. The prices are relatively high, but the food and drinks are still good. It feels like one of the few good places to stay in Sri Lanka.

I have booked this hotel on Ctrip many times. Safety! The hotel is very grand and the service is first-rate! The breakfast has a variety of varieties, especially the fresh fruits are many and sweet, and the coconut juice is great 👍

Pricing was excellent. Location was close to National Museums, the beach, shopping districts, and more all within either 10 min walking distance to 5-10 min tuk-tuk ride. Cleanliness was overall very clean. However, in our first night at the smoking-allowed floor, we found two small termites on our bed. Rest of the night was completely fine and when we eventually moved to a non-smoking floor, we had no bug issues at all. Now the best highlights of Cinnamon Red were their service, hospitality, and facilities. With a small but quaint pool and deck on the top floor, we watched the beautiful Sri Lanka sunset. There's a decent gym there too. Breakfast was marvelous, that is if you don't mind having Sri Lankan style breakfast of spices, curries, and egg hoppers - ”western” options were plenty from poached eggs, bacons, sausages fruits, musseuli, yogurt, order-made omelets, waffles and pancakes, all accompanied by the famous Ceylon tea to die for. Lastly, I cannot praise enough the kindness, hospitality, and smiles from the staff. They were incredibly helpful and supportive to any and all of our requests. Do bring your own soap, shampoo, and conditioners and cameras because the way the hotel is designed, you get an unclustered, incredible view of Colombo from any room.

We had a day to kill before our late night flight home, so booked a room and used the hotel facilities. The rooftop pool and jacuzzis are excellent. Decent range of food and drinks you can order up there. Also had a choice of many restaurants on site for our dinner. The room itself was lovely and met our needs in terms of having somewhere to freshen up before the airport. Note that the room has a window but it’s completely frosted, so you get natural light but no visibility. It didn’t bother us but might be an issue if you were staying longer. I don’t like that there’s a huge window between the bedroom and bathroom, esp when staying with a friend.

Our first stay at this hotel and it was delightful. Quick and friendly check in, we were generously upgraded to a one bedroom suite which was very spacious with a seperate living room. It has a fully functional kitchen, with dishwasher and a washing machine for clothing. Balcony and well appointed room with coffee machine. The breakfast which was included in our room rate was delicious and had a broad range of options. We chose this hotel over the Shangri-La and were very happy with the choice and the hotel is much newer and therefore at the moment, in better condition. Swimming pool is large and receives lots of sunshine. I would stay here again.

The hotel seems to have just opened for more than a month. The hardware is basically up to standard. The beds are also qualified. The service is quite enthusiastic and hard-working. But the management is a bit chaotic and far inferior to those managed by foreign capital. I hope to become proficient in the work as soon as possible. The hotel buffet is pretty good. The Italian restaurant on the 26th floor is also OK, but the quality of the room service needs to be improved. In terms of cost performance, this hotel is very high.

During the last few days in Colombo, I chose the Sheraton, which is conveniently located. The price is very good for the New Year's Day. The room is quite large, clean, relatively new facilities, and the service is also very good. You can get a tuk-tuk when you go out. It is very convenient to walk to Galle Face. There is a supermarket downstairs. The train station is next to the sea. In the morning, I got on the train station and waited for a while. The photo was over~ The breakfast is quite rich. There are many kinds of juice and bread. You can fry any meat you want. The only thing to avoid is that it is best to request no connecting rooms when checking in. We are in 1209 opposite the elevator. The neighbors who checked in at midnight can hear the talking, singing, and even whistling clearly. The sound insulation is a bit poor. People who sleep light must request it when checking in.
