JudyzaizhongdongThe location is excellent, right inside the One Galle Face mall and in the same building. The pool is lovely and very relaxing, with sea views. My only issue was that there were only two staff members at the front desk, and they seemed quite cold and unfriendly.

Overall a pleasant stay. Friendly staff at the reception and the restaurant, location is also a short drive to the town with grocery stores, bakeries and restaurants. Pickme and UberEats had some options too. Pool was quite nice and we also used the gym, AvaniFit, couple of times, which was quite adequate too. Breakfast was ok with eggs, vegetables and some local delicacies as well. Could've been more diverse though. Air conditioning seemed to be set at 24, but never felt like it was at 24, but thank goodness for the fan in the room which kept us cool for the most part.
Access to the beach, and the lagoon, were the best part of our stay! To see the sunset every evening was a great highlight.

S.I.27⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ **Perfect Base for Exploring Colombo – Great Value & Awesome Staff!**
I recently stayed at Clock Inn Hostel in Colombo, and I cannot recommend it enough for backpackers and budget travelers! If you are looking for a comfortable, convenient, and affordable place to stay in Sri Lanka's capital, this is the spot.
**📍 Excellent Location**
The location on Galle Road (Colombo 03 - Colpetty/Bambalapitiya) is absolutely fantastic. It is right in the middle of the action but still has a relaxed vibe. You are just a short stroll from the Indian Ocean, and public transport (buses and the Bambalapitiya train station) is right at your doorstep, making it incredibly easy to explore the rest of the city.
**🛏️ Comfortable Rooms & Great Services**
The rooms and dorms are very clean, well-ventilated, and the air conditioning works perfectly (a lifesaver in Colombo!). The beds are comfortable, and they provide secure lockers for your belongings. The hostel offers great services, including reliable Wi-Fi, a 24-hour front desk, and a cozy common area where it's easy to meet other travelers and swap tips.
**😊 Friendly & Helpful Staff**
The staff here are the true heart of the hostel. From the moment I arrived, they were incredibly welcoming, friendly, and helpful. They went out of their way to arrange tuk-tuks, give honest recommendations for local food, and help me plan my itinerary. Their warm Sri Lankan hospitality made me feel right at home.
**💰 Unbeatable Cheap Prices**
For the quality and the location, the prices are amazingly cheap. It is rare to find such a well-maintained hostel with great amenities in such a prime area for such a budget-friendly rate. You really get your money's worth here!
**🗺️ Nearby Sightseeing & Attractions**
Because of the central location, you are very close to some of Colombo's best sights. Here is what you can easily visit while staying here:
* **Majestic City Mall:** Literally a 2-minute walk away for shopping, a food court, and a cinema.
* **Galle Face Green:** A short tuk-tuk ride away. Perfect for an evening stroll, flying kites, and eating street food by the ocean at sunset.
* **Gangaramaya Temple:** One of the most beautiful and important Buddhist temples in Colombo, located near Beira Lake.
* **Independence Square & Viharamahadevi Park:** Great historical landmarks surrounded by lush, green parks—perfect for a morning walk.
* **Colombo National Museum:** A fascinating dive into Sri Lanka's history and culture, located very close to the park.
* **Lotus Tower:** The iconic towering landmark of the city, offering great panoramic views.
* **Barefoot Gallery & Cafe:** A beautiful spot for shopping, relaxing, and having a great meal.
* **Pettah Market & The Red Mosque (Jami' Ul-Alfar):** Easily accessible via a quick local train or bus ride down Galle Road to experience the bustling, colorful heart of commercial Colombo.
**Final Verdict:**
Clock Inn Hostel ticks all the boxes: cheap prices, great rooms, top-notch services, and a super convenient location. I will definitely be staying here again on my next trip to Sri Lanka. Highly recommended!

ShaluthaCheck in was quick and got the room quickly, room was a bit smaller but had all amenities needed but mini bar was empty. Had mocktails from their pool bar and they were very nice.
Food was not the best, dinner buffet had limited options and had no flavour in any of the dishes. Breakfast buffet was okay compared to dinner.
I wanted to check out around 12 and they kindly offered a late check out too. Thank you team.
I would recommend this hotel but there I hope their food standards get improved.

I had a wonderful one-night stay from June 24th to 25th. The hotel offers a fantastic, tranquil escape right in the heart of the city. The staff were incredibly welcoming and attentive, ensuring a seamless check-in and checkout experience. The room was immaculate, comfortable, and offered lovely views. Whether you are visiting for business or a quick leisure getaway, the beautiful lakeside setting and excellent service make it a top choice. Highly recommended.

Mixed feelings
We had quite a mixed impression of the hotel. There are definitely some very good things about it, but unfortunately, we experienced several issues that we did not expect from a hotel of this level.
Strong points:
🌊 Relaxing ocean view. If you stay here, I would definitely recommend booking a room with a sea view - it is one of the best features of the hotel.
🛏 Extremely comfortable bed. After five months of travelling around Asia, this was one of the most comfortable beds we have slept in. The mattress and pillows were excellent.
👧 Very attentive reception service. Even though we arrived late at night, the reception team quickly arranged an extra bed for our daughter. We really appreciated how quickly and thoughtfully they handled this after our late arrival.
😊 Friendly and caring staff. I especially want to mention the lovely lady who asked for our feedback at checkout. She was very attentive, kind, and genuinely apologetic about the issues we experienced. Because of her attitude and the way she handled our feedback, I’m adding one extra star to my rating.
Weak points:
We checked in late at night after an 8-hour flight and found a small insect in the bed. It was particularly unpleasant after such a long journey, we had to change rooms.
Our main concerns were related to the housekeeping service on the 11th floor. We stayed in room 1107, and unfortunately, there were several things that could have been handled better.
Unfortunately, around midnight, we were woken up by loud conversations outside our door, apparently by members of the staff. Shortly afterwards, the housekeeping staff started vacuuming the room next door and moving furniture around - at night. After a long flight, we simply wanted to sleep peacefully, especially as we were only staying for two nights. This was quite unpleasant and, in our opinion, could easily have been avoided.
There were no slippers in our room, which was surprising. We did notice slippers in the housekeeping area, so perhaps they were simply forgotten.
There were no hand or face towels in the bathroom - only large bath towels. This seemed quite unusual for a hotel of this standard, and it is not particularly comfortable to use the same towel for your face and feet.
The bathroom lighting was also very dim, making it difficult to get ready properly and do my makeup.

oceanrainbowThe sunset from the rooftop was absolutely stunning. The breakfast spread was incredibly diverse, almost overwhelming with choices. If you're on a higher floor, I imagine the room views would be great. For those looking for a hotel stay, I'd recommend opting for the ocean view side, even if it's a bit pricier. The city view is also lovely, with sights like the Lotus Tower.
Honestly, having stayed in many five-star hotels, I felt there's room for improvement in their hospitality. For instance, at breakfast, a server spilled juice on my leg while clearing the table next to me. They apologized immediately and said they'd bring napkins. However, several minutes passed, and they unbelievably started setting the adjacent table first and seated new guests. Those guests also seemed confused by the wet floor. I had to ask a different server for napkins before they finally brought them.
Regarding cleanliness, the drain in the shower clogged when I took the first shower, and the water wouldn't go down. Housekeeping promptly cleaned it, but I feel this should have been taken care of before check-in. Also, there were some mysterious stains on the towels, which I think should be replaced more regularly.
Other than that, the clientele staying at the hotel seemed pleasant, and my stay was comfortable. The only place to plug in Japanese appliances was in the bathroom, so a travel adapter is essential.

I recently stayed at the Ramada by Wyndham Colombo, and overall it was a wonderful experience.
The room was extremely spacious, honestly one of the largest hotel rooms I have ever stayed in within Colombo. Everything was very clean and well maintained, and the amenities were excellent. The room included everything you might need—tea and coffee facilities, toiletries, toothbrushes, and more. The bed was very large and comfortable, and the TV, office table was huge as well. All the facilities such as the lights, air conditioning, and fan worked perfectly, so we had no issues at all.
Our room was on the 8th floor (top floor) and we had a nice view overlooking the Galle Face Hotel with a small view of the ocean. The location of the hotel is also excellent since it is very close to Galle Face Green and many other attractions in Colombo, which makes it very convenient for travelers.
The check-in process was smooth, and they welcomed us with a refreshing welcome drink. One thing to note is that the security procedure is quite strict. When we had guests visiting our room briefly, they had to provide their IDs and go through a security check. It was the first time I experienced this in a hotel, but it is understandable since it helps maintain safety.
Although we booked bed and breakfast, we later asked if we could add the dinner buffet, but unfortunately it was already full. However, something very kind happened later that night. My mother wanted chicken congee, so we asked the room service staff if it was available. Even though it was not on the menu at that moment, they were kind enough to prepare and send us a bowl of chicken congee. It was a very thoughtful gesture, and we truly appreciated their kindness.
The breakfast buffet was excellent with a very wide variety of food, and everything we tried was delicious. My family has always liked the buffets at Ramada, and this time was no different. They also had live cooking stations, and the staff there were very friendly and welcoming.
Overall, everything about the stay was great. The room, service, location, and food were all excellent.
I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend this hotel. It is absolutely worth the price and offers great value for money.
