Popular Colombo 4-star Hotels

I’m absolutely thrilled with my choice of accommodation in Colombo! The location is perfect—situated in a comfortable and safe area with plenty of restaurants and supermarkets nearby. It’s also very close to the city center, making it super convenient. The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful, always ready to assist. The rooms are excellent, well-equipped with everything you need for a comfortable stay. And the rooftop pool is simply amazing!

Amazing historical colonial hotel. Staff are very attentive but do need to use initiative sometimes to solve guests needs & wants instead of following every rule set down no matter how small or irrelevant those rules are. I wld highly recommend this hotel as we had a great stay there 👍👍🎉🎉

Highly recommend staying at Granbell hotel. The hotel has good location, about 45 minutes from the airport. Beautiful view to the coastline. You can get coffee on the first floor while sitting on the terrace and watching sunset and train going along the seashore. All give you unique experience. You can find a lot of good options for breakfast. And staff can speak English. Especially thanks to Shamerra for his help and guidance.

There were several problems: 1. Inspite of 2 king-size beds, which had been guaranteed in booking, we got 2 rooms with separate beds 2. We were waited for check-in for 25 min, cause the receptionists couldn't find the reservation, till the time, we found confirmation in email and resent it to them

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.

Hotel is in nice location, close to Pettah market and Fort Railway station. The room was large and everything was clean and tidy. As with all the places I've stayed in Sri Lanka, the place feels very tired, and in need of maintenance and renovation. Would recommend for a 1-2 nights stay for exploring the city.

When we checked in and came to the room we found out dirty spots on the bed sheet and there was a huge pile of dirty pillows on the bed. So we called housekeepers to clean this mess up, then supervisor came suddenly and offered us another room which was cozy and comfortable. Huge thanks to her for that gesture. Nice rooftop, by the way

Excellent location, hotel room is clean even have a sink, a microwave and of course a fridge inside the family types room, access to restaurant and nearby seaside is walking distance. It is easy as well to choose from KFC to very high class ministry of crab and local restaurant, local eateries shops is just surrounding.

Very central location. Old quality building. Like the door man who always has a nice smile

“I recently stayed at Pearl Grand by Rathna in Colombo, and it was a wonderful experience. The hotel offers a great blend of comfort and style with well-maintained rooms and modern amenities. The staff was exceptionally welcoming and attentive, always ensuring that my needs were met. The location is ideal close to major attractions yet quiet enough for a peaceful stay. The rooftop pool was a highlight, offering stunning views of the city, and the restaurant served delicious local and international cuisine. Whether you’re traveling for business or leisure, Pearl Grand provides a cozy and convenient stay in Colombo. Highly recommended!”
