Granbell Hotel Colombo ★★★★
"The room was clean and tidy, the location was excellent, and the breakfast was plentiful."
ITC Ratnadipa, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Colombo ★★★★★
"This hotel is a newly opened five-star Marriott hotel on the Colombo waterfront. Across the street is the Cinnamon Life at City of Dreams, a five-star hotel with a striking exterior. After much deliberation, I chose this one on the beachfront. There's security at the porte-cochère, and a baggage check before entering the hotel. The ground floor is lined only with sofas, and the front lobby is above. The lobby lounge was very spacious and had a gorgeous atmosphere – truly impressive. I arrived early, so the front desk wasn't crowded, and they upgraded my room without any special comment. It was a room with round walls, which I love, and absolutely beautiful. The room's interior and furniture had a more classic feel than I expected, with a large column, a spacious bed, and a large television being particularly striking. The minibar was housed in a heavy, single-door cabinet, giving it a luxurious feel, and there were five bottles of mineral water. However, the minibar refrigerator is usually locked, so it was a shame that I couldn't chill the water. There was welcome fruit on the table in the foreground. Next to the entrance was a walk-in closet, and beyond that was a spacious bathroom. The bathtub was open, but I appreciated that the toilet and shower were properly separated. The beauty mirror was also unusually large. Best of all was the round terrace, which offered views overlooking the beach and the city. The hotel has two pools, both infinity pools overlooking the ocean. The gym was in a hard-to-find location, behind a spa-like reception area. The breakfast area was one of the largest I've seen in any hotel so far, with plenty of food, but it was crowded and difficult to find things, which was a bit tiring. Also, there was a long line at the live kitchen, and many people, including the staff taking orders, were cutting in line, which was disappointing. If you'd like to see a video introduction to this hotel, try searching for "hakurepo" or the hotel name on YouTube."
Pullman Colombo Downtown ★★★★★
"The location was good, but the hotel needs renovation and needs to improve service standard"
Taj Samudra, Colombo ★★★★★
"The breakfast lineup is the best"
Marino Beach Colombo ★★★★★
"Everything was excellent. The room looked great, the price was good, plenty of facilities, the pool was beautiful, the communal jacuzzi was lovely, and the view was absolutely superb. The breakfast was also really delicious with a wide selection. The only downside is that there isn't much to do within walking distance. So you have to take a tuk-tuk to One Face Galle Mall or other attractions. However, there's also a Marino Mall you can walk to through the hotel."
Cinnamon Life at City of Dreams ★★★★★
"A nice, luxurious end to my first time in Sri Lanka. Room was spacious and had a beautiful view of the Lotus Tower, and service is extremely attentive. Breakfast was extremely diverse, and a server was eager to make local Sri Lankan recommendations which I really appreciated. However, the layout of the place is a little difficult, so be prepared to use a few different elevators to get around"
Galle Face Hotel ★★★★★
"Very good"
Amari Colombo Sri Lanka ★★★★★
"Perfect location for people who wants to take train from Kollupitiya Railway Station. The night and ocean view from 26th floor rooftop bar and swimming pool is awesome. Room is clean and comfy, breakfast with plenty of varieties and food tasty too. Service is topnotch. If we revisit Colombo will stay Amari again."
Sofia Colombo City Hotel ★★★★
"Loved my stay at the Sofia Colombo City Hotel. The facilities were modern with close proximity to the beach. The room was comfortable."

Marine Bay Colombo Sri Lanka
"Nice hotel . Clean and modern place . Easy to get round in tut tut and taxis. Staff helpful . Recommend."
Mount Lavinia Hotel
"Staff were very friendly and happy to help. Pool was great with beautiful views and plenty of room for everyone (never felt crowded). The room was very run down and the AC made alot of noise which made it difficult to sleep. The bed was comfortable and room was clean, just very old."
50 By The Sea
"This is a fantastic boutique hotel situated just a bit further down Marine drive, away from the commotions of downtown Colombo in Dehiwala area. Its easily accessible by any transport and has the most amazing views from the suites. Although they don't offer any food with the rooms, there's two eateries downstairs with local and international cuisines. The rooms are so well designed and cozy that you would just want to stay in. But if you dont want to, everything is within reach including the beach right opposite. The only thing to be wary about is that they charge separately for stuff like early check in, late check out and luggage storage. Regardless, we are definitely coming back when we visit Colombo next time."
Cinnamon Red Colombo
"All the staff are very friendly and kind. Facilities are so nice."
Nuwa at City of Dreams Sri Lanka
"It's the best hotel I've stayed at in Sri Lanka, not the most expensive, but definitely the best. After all, it's a Macau-owned company, right? 👍👍 It was truly fantastic—luxurious, comfortable, new, and with no unpleasant smells. Awesome!"
Pegasus Reef - A Beach Resort in Colombo
"Nice place and quiet"
Mirage Colombo
"The hotel sits near the colombo marine drive. Its good for sooo, family and also for business tourists. They provide one of the best breakfast option in the colombo. I stayed with my family for a single day. The hotel also has one of tje scenic pool which is located on 3rd floor. The pool cleanliness is top notch and you will not find any issues with it. I will suggest to take the sea view room as city facing room has no view of city. You will also find lot many restaurants along the marine drive as well as A2 galle road."
Sheraton Colombo Hotel
"Poor soundproofing. ^_^"
Jetwing Colombo Seven
"It was a good stay for us. Clean and spacious room. Will book again next time there"
Morven Hotel Colombo
"Really beautiful lobby. Hotel is quite old and so are the room features. For 60ish dollars a night, rooms were not very worth the money. Staff were very helpful and friendly."
Supun Arcade Residency
"Have stayed at this place in 2023 and Aug 2024. It is good for when going as a family vacation but not great if I was traveling there for work. I hope the management takes some time to improve the smaller details or provide a premium service offering where everything is ready to go. Positives: - Great location, close to transportation easily accessible to anywhere. - Staff are great, especially after tipping them they will look after you well! - Supermarket on ground floor, well stocked and convenient - Pool and restaurant on roof good quality and nice views Negatives: - No wifi, TV didn't work (because of poor internet) - Bedside tables not there, no power near the beds or near table to set up your laptop (for example). Hotel needs to keep power boards, extension chords to help with this. So was very difficult to get work done, had to organise it all myself"
Pearl Grand by Rathna
"Simple, and to the point hotel for crashing in for the night before moving on to other parts of Sri Lanka"
Colombo Court Hotel & Spa
"A lovely and comfortable hotel with a relaxing atmosphere. The room was clean and comfortable, and the overall environment of the property was very pleasant. I had a smooth and enjoyable stay and would be happy to return in the future"
Global Towers Hotel & Apartments
"The room consists of a hall, three rooms, and a kitchen. The rooms lock individually, like in a communal apartment. It's a good thing they didn't put anyone else with us. The room was smoky and dirty. The air conditioners worked well, and the bedding was comfortable, white, and clean. The staff was pleasant. There's a pool (cold) and a good gym. Nearby, there's a sports bar with good food. Next time, I'll be looking at a different hotel."
Thilhara Colombo
"It's a good place for a quick one-night stay. However, the lingering cigarette smell in the room was a bit disappointing."
