Romantic Hotels in Colombo

Excellent stay in the heart of Colombo! The Sofia Colombo City Hotel offers modern comforts, friendly staff, and a convenient location for exploring the city. Highly recommended for business or leisure travellers looking for comfort and convenience. A special thanks to Ms. Roche, the guest relations officer at Sofia Colombo City Hotel! Her attentive service and warm hospitality made our stay truly exceptional. Thank you for going above and beyond to ensure we had a wonderful experience. This hotel exceeded all expectations! From impeccable service to luxurious amenities, our stay was nothing short of superb. Highly recommended for a truly memorable experience.

Lovely hotel. It’s an historic icon. The swimming pool is fantastic. But the infrastructure around the pool needs an update very very urgently!! Other than that it’s a lovely place with excellent staff.

The hotel facilities are equivalent to the domestic three-star level. The price of more than 700 is not cheap. The room is quite large and has a sea view of the Indian Ocean. There are no advantages other than this. The breakfast is a bit perfunctory. The breakfast ended at 10 o'clock. When we went to the restaurant at 9:40, there was almost no hot food to eat. We could only eat some bread. I guess the restaurant waiter couldn't stand it and made us an egg roll. The overall service was disappointing. I called twice to ask for slippers. When checking out, I was delayed for half an hour because of the breakfast charge. All kinds of things were not smooth.

A beautiful building in a very pleasant area of Colombo; the architecture and interior design of the hotel are a joy to behold and the vast majority of staff are polite and courteous. Plenty of amenities nearby to suit all tastes and interests. The breakfasts were great both mornings (both the Sri Lankan breakfast and the Western style), and they really lived up to the high expectations we’d had from the Instagram marketing we’d seen. We were upgraded to the North West Suite, which was a larger room, for which we were greatly appreciative; a couple of issues with working plugs and appliances (coffee machine and hair dryer) were reported and rectified, although the wiring/plugs more broadly were temperamental and poorly placed (as expected, possibly, with the charm of an older hotel). However, the bed was comfortable, the hotel was quiet, and the bathroom was well appointed. Our only qualm was with the overzealous Head of Housekeeping, who seemed to not grasp the subtlety required for such a role, or the privacy with which guests might like to enjoy the beautiful hotel. It appeared that he lingered all too often in search of a tip, and didn’t quite appreciate the boundaries one might desire when paying a reasonable fee for each night. My wife and I took to speedily locking the door and placing the ‘Do Not Disturb’ sign on the handle to keep his incessant interrupting to a minimum. His deputy was, however, an asset to the hotel, who seemed to comprehend the subtle art of providing high quality service for a luxury stay in a lovely hotel. All-in-all, a great choice for a hotel in the heart of Colombo, and hopefully, during a busier season, the aforementioned Head of Housekeeping might spread his overbearing attention across the many rooms of the hotel.

Manipati Hotel in Colombo, an old house built in 1906, was once the private residence of the Correa family. Stepping into the hotel, it feels like traveling through time and space, and deeply appreciates the texture polished by time. The hotel cleverly retains the original colonial architectural details and historical and cultural atmosphere. The hotel has only a few rooms, and my room was unexpectedly upgraded with a small garden. A chair and a small coffee table in the corner became a good place for me to read. In the morning, squirrels jumped between the trees, green parrots played on the white walls, and I enjoyed a quiet time in the swimming pool in front of the door. Thank you!

The hotel is not big, just like domestic boutique hotels. It is very clean and tidy. The junior suite I booked was very comfortable and the bathroom was oversized! The front desk brother is very good and always smiles! Location is also good, walking distance from Colombo Museum!
