MMichael_SeyExcellent stay. Highly recommended
I had a very pleasant stay at Cinnamon Lakeside Colombo. The service throughout the hotel was fantastic and the staff genuinely go out of their way to help.
The breakfast was a highlight. There is a very big variety and great choice of options, which made mornings enjoyable and convenient.
At one point the phone in our room stopped working. I went to reception to inform them and they immediately sent a technician. The issue was fixed in under 10 minutes, which shows how efficient and responsive the team is.
Room service was also very accommodating. I was travelling alone with my daughter and the staff made extra effort to make everything easy and comfortable for us.
Overall a great experience. I would definitely recommend this hotel and would happily stay here again.

IIan LagacLocation is great, just beside One Galle Face Mall. Plenty of restaurants and cafes around. Beautiful sunset views (from the bar, pool, restaurant, lobby) and Galle Face opposite the road. Rooms are gorgeous and spacious.
Checked in Dec 30-Jan 2 peak season. Hotel was fully booked. Waited in the lobby for my room to be ready upon check-in. Front desk said they will find me to let me know. Waited for more than an hour before I asked them again and told me that my room has been ready.
Ordered some room service which took more than an hour to be delivered. Granted they told me that it may take about 50 minutes because it was peak hours. Upon delivery they told me it was comped because of the long wait.
Pool, restaurant, and bar staff are all great. Very personable and accommodating.
Loved the sky pool on the 31st floor. No bar but not as crowded as the main pool.
Breakfast was great. A lot of choices. Asian selection is great. Pastries not so much, some didn’t seem fresh. Heard from some staff that it gets super busy from around 9 but didn’t experience any long wait. Plenty of tables to accommodate people.
Overall a great experience and will definitely stay here again if I’m in Colombo.

IIbrahim AzlifCinnamon Life truly lives up to its name as the City of Dreams! The facilities are world-class, offering everything you could possibly need and more. There are plenty of dining options with excellent food outlets to choose from. The gym is well-equipped and maintained, perfect for keeping up with your fitness routine during your stay.
The pool area is spotless and inviting, with attentive onsite lifeguards ensuring safety at all times. The poolside bar is a great place to relax and unwind a perfect spot to chill out after a busy day.
Cinnamon Life is more than just a hotel; it’s a full-fledged business and entertainment centre that has everything under one roof. I truly enjoyed my stay and will definitely be returning!

YYangjialeThe shower head in the room was really dirty; I brought my own filter, and after one shower, the filter was completely black. There was a lot of dust on the tissue box, and the sofa had stains.

MMD JOBAYER HOSSAINI recently stayed at Hotel Nippon Colombo, and it turned out to be a delightful experience. The hotel is located right in the center of Colombo, making it incredibly convenient for exploring the city. Whether you’re here for business or leisure, the location is perfect — close to transport, shopping, and cultural attractions.
🛏️ Rooms & Comfort
The rooms are fairly spacious and clean, with comfortable beds that ensure a good night’s sleep.
While the décor is simple, the hotel maintains a neat environment, and housekeeping does a commendable job.
Air conditioning and Wi-Fi worked well, which is a big plus for both work and relaxation.
🍴 Dining & Food
The in-house restaurant offers tasty Sri Lankan and international dishes, making dining easy and enjoyable.
Breakfast was satisfying, with a good mix of local flavors and continental options.
👩💼 Service & Staff
The staff were friendly, attentive, and always ready to help. From check-in to check-out, they made the stay smooth and welcoming.
Their hospitality really adds warmth to the overall experience.
📍 Location Advantage
Being in Union Place, Colombo 02, the hotel is close to major attractions, business hubs, and transport links.
It’s easy to get around the city, whether by tuk-tuk or taxi.
💰 Value for Money
With its central location, decent facilities, and welcoming service, Hotel Nippon Colombo offers great value for money.
It’s a solid choice for travellers who want convenience without overspending.
✅ Overall Impression
Hotel Nippon Colombo is a comfortable, well-located, and affordable option in Colombo. It may not be ultra-luxurious, but it delivers on the essentials: clean rooms, good food, and warm service. I’d happily recommend it to anyone visiting Colombo for a short stay or business trip

GGuest UserI had a truly beautiful and memorable experience staying at this hotel. From the very first moment, you sense its special atmosphere—a place with history, character, and its own unique atmosphere. The ocean view is simply incredible, one of those that stays in your memory for a long time. The sound of the waves, the sunsets, and the overall sense of space and air create a feeling of relaxation and fulfillment.
The hotel grounds are pleasant and have everything you need for a comfortable stay. I'd especially like to highlight the location—it's truly exceptional and one of its main advantages.
At the same time, there's a feeling that the hotel lacks some consistency in its service and attention to detail. In places, it feels like this space has much greater potential than it currently has. This doesn't completely ruin the experience, but it does create a slight contrast between the atmosphere and the level of service.
Overall, this is a place with a beautiful soul, strong energy, and a unique location. With a more attentive and refined approach to service, it could be truly outstanding.
