Granbell Hotel Colombo ★★★★
"Our stay at Granbell Hotel Colombo was excellent and easily one of the highlights of our Sri Lanka trip. The hotel offers stunning ocean views, beautifully designed modern rooms, and a fantastic rooftop infinity pool that is perfect for relaxing, especially during sunset. The location is convenient for exploring Colombo while still offering a peaceful atmosphere. One suggestion for improvement: our booking was made well in advance, and the full payment had also been completed before arrival. Since we were traveling as a family group, we had expected our rooms to be allocated on the same floor or at least close to each other. However, the rooms were assigned on different floors, which was a bit inconvenient. We kindly request that the hotel consider prioritizing room allocation for families and groups in such situations. Overall, Granbell Hotel provides outstanding value for money with its excellent hospitality, premium facilities, and memorable ambience. I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Colombo, whether for leisure or business. We would definitely choose to stay here again!"
ITC Ratnadipa, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Colombo ★★★★★
"I booked two king rooms, staying at the Shangri-La on my first day in Colombo and then at the ITC before leaving, specifically to compare them. The lobby is on a dedicated floor. My wife had her birthday that day, and I'd emailed beforehand – they decorated the room and provided a cake, which was a nice touch. Now for the downsides: the room felt a bit dated, the floorboards creaked when walked on, and the balcony door handle was broken. The breakfast service was just okay, not as friendly as at the Shangri-La – you can check my previous review for more details on that. Overall, it was still pretty good!"
Pullman Colombo City Centre ★★★★★
"It was okay, nothing special."
Taj Samudra, Colombo ★★★★★
"Very convenient location but the staff need to improve their services.Also hotel need some upgrades"
Marino Beach Colombo ★★★★★
"⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good stay, great staff — pool‑side dining rules a drawback The team at Marino Beach Hotel were absolutely amazing warm, attentive, and always ready to help, which made my stay really pleasant and comfortable. The one disappointment was the strict policy: Food are not allowed near the pool or sun‑lounge areas, only in one corner of the rooftop Level 10. This isn’t a practical choice many guests want to relax and enjoy a light meal or snack while staying by the water. Having to dry off and change fully to enter the restaurant meant it was often empty, and I think the hotel misses out on extra business this way. Otherwise, a nice, well‑kept property with lovely people just hope they review that rule soon."
Cinnamon Life at City of Dreams ★★★★★
"The room facilities are relatively new, and the breakfast selection leans towards Indian cuisine. The hotel's location is excellent, but the water in the pond in front of the hotel is quite murky and green. There's a casino on the second floor of the hotel, mostly frequented by Chinese guests."
Galle Face Hotel ★★★★★
"The oldest Western colonial hotel in the Far East. The creaking wooden floors add to its charm. It's called Galle Face because it faces Galle, which is a rather straightforward name."
Amari Colombo Sri Lanka ★★★★★
"I chose the newly opened Amari Hotel (Amari Colombo) for my first two nights in Colombo, drawn by its reputation for sea views. The sea view from the room and the rooftop infinity pool were huge plusses, and the service was good, but there were quite a few flaws. I stayed in a Deluxe Sea View King Room on the 16th floor. The room's large floor-to-ceiling windows directly faced the sea, offering a great view and easy sunset watching. Unfortunately, the popular Grabbell Hotel partially obstructed the view to the left, making the angle for admiring the sea from bed not ideal. The room itself was very new, but the design had numerous illogical aspects: ① The 'king' bed was actually two single beds pushed together, with a gap in the middle, making it very uncomfortable to sleep on. ② The bathroom wasn't a 'three-fixture separation' (toilet, shower, sink in separate areas), and opening the bathroom door completely blocked the toilet, leading to poor circulation and accessibility. ③ After the main light switch was turned off for a period, the power outlets also shut off, preventing phone charging. If the main switch wasn't turned off, some lights couldn't be switched off individually. ④ The curtains required pulling cords on both sides to operate, and there was no corresponding instruction in the room. I only discovered this after struggling to pull the curtains for a long time. I was quite surprised to find such design flaws in a hotel that had been open for two years. The hotel service attitude was generally good. Checking in at 1:30 AM, the concierge was still on duty, helping with luggage from the car and later delivering it to the room. The front desk staff were also very friendly, and I didn't experience any discrimination. The rooftop infinity pool on the 26th floor also directly faces the sea. The pool isn't large or deep, but it's sufficient for leisure. There's also a bar by the pool, offering panoramic views of most of Colombo, with particularly stunning scenery at dusk. Breakfast, located on the 5th floor, featured strong local characteristics, with an array of various curries spread across the buffet. Opinions were sharply divided; my wife loved it, while I couldn't get used to it at all. Overall, to fully enjoy this hotel, you need to book a sea-view room and comfortably watch the sunset from your room or the rooftop pool. Otherwise, it's just a slightly flawed, but generally acceptable, four-star hotel."
Sofia Colombo City Hotel ★★★★
"The hotel is located in a central area. The room was very clean and spacious. The hotel staff was very friendly and helpful; they assisted with my lost luggage. Overall lovely stay!"

Pegasus Reef - A Beach Resort in Colombo
"Check 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."
Mandarina Colombo
"I can't be more grateful for such hospitality and professionalism. The staff are always welcoming and smiling throughout my stay and always were happy to enhance my experience. The welcome drink on arrival is such a beautiful gesture. The rooms are spacious and super clean. The rooms are made daily and promptly refilled with toiletries and water. My booking did not include a breakfast but I purchased it for about 3200 SriLankan rupees, it had onsite omelet and a variety of SriLankan and international food. The location is central to everything around Colombo. I highly recommend this hotel for anyone visiting Colombo."

"What a start! Thanks to a Trip.com discount, we were able to book a superbly equipped apartment for 5 people at the Supun Arcade Residency – perfect for a relaxing first few days in Sri Lanka. The apartment truly had everything a traveler could wish for: its own kitchen, a large water tank, a refrigerator, and a washing machine! The breakfast buffet was delicious, and the staff were consistently friendly and helpful. On top of that (in the truest sense of the word): a rooftop pool with a fantastic view and a lovely restaurant with really good food. We had a fantastic time and can only recommend it!"
