Centrally located with easy access to key spots: 15 mins to Galle Face Green, 10 mins to the Red Mosque and Pettah Market, and 5 mins to Dutch Hospital Food Arcade. Most places are walkable, with plenty of tuktuks around when needed.
Queen Bedroom was spacious and fairly clean. Basic amenities provided, but you’ll need to request a hair dryer and iron (no ironing board). My TV didn’t work, but aircond was cold.
Overall, a solid and convenient stay for exploring Colombo.
The location is ideal, 2 mins walk to a good banana leaf and Chinese restaurant and walking distance to 2 shopping malls.
The room is clean, service very good and the continental breadfast is marvellous. Eggs cooked to your liking.
However finding it the first time may be a problem as the lobby is at the 2nd floor and the staircase entrance is at a corner next to a ministore.

First of all, the breakfast was very good. There were all kinds of local food that I have never seen before.
Secondly, the male checkin receptionist wearing glasses was very friendly! He tried to introduce many local spots and helped handle the noise issue caused by the people next to my room. However, the female receptionist was not really helpful and quite stubborn. That male staff said I could enjoy an extended checkout due to my midnight flight during checkin, but the female receptionist said no to me later. After I explained what that male staff promised to me, she only gave me a two-hour extended checkout.
The point is what all the staff say to guests should be consistent.

Our stay at Granbell Hotel Colombo was nothing short of perfect. From the infinity pool with stunning ocean views to the stylish, modern rooms, everything felt luxurious yet welcoming. The rooftop bar was a highlight — ideal for sunsets and cocktails. Staff were friendly and attentive. A perfect blend of comfort and location in the heart of Colombo. Highly recommended for both short stays and relaxing vacations.

Overall experience is good. But there is some areas need improving
Since my reservation AI went for take my evening snack. As per mentioned went to Pinklobster outlet. Had to wait to find someone in that outlet. And I went to Reception and informed there is no one and they called. Again I went back and stay around 15min and one of the person cam and inform us there is snack in another location.
Pool bar service is perfect
In the evening there was no lights in out corridor and evening Wifi not worked in our room informed to reception and they help us to resolve the problem.
In the restaurant plates are not in good condition. There is lots of scratch marks on the plate. (Black marks)
Too many restrictions friends can’t come to the room s, balcony doors are unlocked., check in take time. Even you check in 6 pm rooms not ready had to wait.as soon as you chk in they said you can’t bring any friends me and my brother checked in. Even though we don’t have any friends.😳

Good value for money, especially with a rooftop bar to embrace Columbo scenery near Lotus Tower.
Nice to see Cinnamon counter in Arrivals hall that offered to book a taxi for 7,500 but we took an Uber for 5,500. Very easy, just turn left out the door to Uber & pickme desks so you don'tneed to use apps. Tell the Uber manager destination so he books it & we paid driver cash.
Check-in was about 15 minutes once you got to front of queue. They only give one key so request another.
Stylish room with seaview. Empty fridge, but roomservice was prompt. Complimentary water bottles (good to see glass for sustainability). Conserve to preserve.
Wifi was erratic, so l called reception and they gave me an alternative login that was more stable. Porter called technician to set up tv with lovely personalized greeting and services offered.
Rooftop infinity pool closes 9pm but great openair rooftop club with bar menu. Attentive service and good burger with chips.....and beer ;-)
There was an issue with payment because we could not charge to room but the manager assisted to process it.
Overall a good stay with great value for one night but they need to make it easier for foreign tourists who prefer a hassle-free holiday.

I recently stayed at this hotel and had a wonderful experience. The rooms were clean, tidy, and well-maintained, making it worth every penny. The staff were extremely helpful and went out of their way to ensure a comfortable stay. The breakfast offered a great variety of options, catering to different tastes and dietary preferences. From fresh fruits to hot dishes, everything was delicious and well-prepared. The overall ambiance of the hotel was pleasant, and the amenities were top-notch. I highly recommend this hotel for both business and leisure travelers. It’s a great value for the money, and I would definitely stay here again!
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.
Great

Very Good
GGuest UserThe hotel is very close to the beach and you can see the Colombo port. The waiters are friendly, the rooms are well air-conditioned, and there are two swimming pools. Children can play! The breakfast selection is diverse, with a rich variety of local dishes and bread and fruits!
GGuest UserThe hotel is quite clean, there is a swimming pool, there was no refrigerator in the room, the food in the restaurant is not very suitable for Russians, they cook unusually and not tasty. The food in the restaurants of Unyvatuna was much better. The location is very good. If you have not been to Colombo before, I highly recommend taking a tour from a tuk tuk driver, they offer tours at the hotels. You can negotiate for 4000 rupees. He will briefly tell you in English and drive around Colombo for 3 or 4 hours. We saw all the main sights and the driver waited at the temples and museums. Despite the fact that at the resorts they offer to pay for a tour of the same places, but with a Russian guide for 100 dollars per person. The price is not justified.

GGuest UserExceptional stay at Cinnamon Life at City of Dreams! Impeccable rooms, top-notch amenities, and outstanding service. The staff were friendly and attentive, ensuring a seamless experience. Prime location, convenient amenities, and excellent value. I highly recommend this hotel for a comfortable and memorable stay. Will definitely return!
CCJ12A 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.
GGuest UserGreat rooftop pool, even with construction happening in the view. The food was good, but we were surprised to find out that it was a dry hotel - no alcohol. Should be said in the listing. We loved the location and the room was very nice.

MMatthew JamesThis was my third stay at the Goldi Sands, honestly, the last time was nearly 20 years ago but I had such a great time back then I had high expectations. In the intervening 20 years, the hotel has had a revamp, double the size, double the number of swimming pools, added an elevator and they've removed the beach-fronted bungalows. All of which I think was a smart move and well worth doing. What has changed is the service and the catering. The staff are of course all very polite just that they didn't go the extra mile like they used to. We arrived late as our flight had been delayed, all I wanted was a couple of bottles of beer, they did arrive but I almost had to beg. I booked a taxi to the airport with the front desk, but they forgot, the waitresses at dinner were all about the hard upsell rather than serving. The breakfast as far as my memory serves me used to be awesome, today's breakfast is the same every day and lacks imagination, is poorly presented, and includes the worst coffee ever. The hotel has a confusing number of tariffs from all-inclusive to room only which means if you want to buy a drink it takes forever as they have to check your ”status” and then if you pay cash they have to go to the cashier as they carry no float. The rooms are a good size, clean and comfortable but basic. All in all it is still a good hotel to choose but sadly it is no longer in the memorable category.
