Hotels With Pools in Western Province, Sri Lanka

Granbell was a great hotel which is proven to be a very popular spot of tourists from several countries, mainly Russia, Germany, France, UK, Australia, China, Korea, and Japan. The hotel itself had great amenities, view, and food. I would definitely recommend friends to this hotel to friends and family. Hotel ammenities itself were amazing overall. The rooftop bar, spa, gym, pool, and others were all of great quality. The location of the hotel was well placed in the city but the immediate surroundings of the hotel were mostly rundown buildings and a loud train stop. It is hard to say that the location was good to walk around but with tuk tuks easily available things were fine during our trip. Areas of improvement and negative aspects are that our room did not have a cupboard or iron which made things a bit difficult and we suspected the bathroom sink to have a minor leak which made the whole bathroom floor wet but was hard to tell. Lastly, all the staff were very nice and helpful except for the concierge team. I can’t say all but most were not helpful as they never opened the door for me, refused to help me translate to an uber and tuk driver when I needed help, and generally seemed uninterested to help guests unless really required to. It was more a minor nuisance so I didn’t make any fuss about it. All things considered we were mostly happy with the hotel.

The hotel is situated quite close to the airport. The driver patiently waited to pick us up after our flight was delayed 4 times. The room was huge and the toilet was so big too. To bad due to our flight delay we only manage to spend few hours. Otherwise the place was in a big garden with a pool. Beware of mosquitoes. Breakfast is not buffet but basic menu by request.

Visited Colombo during off-peak season so we managed to visit the city with less crowd. Views from any sea-facing room is incredible for its price - slight blocking with 2 towers in front but you can get a better unblocked view if you go for Premium tier rooms. I have to commend reception staff Anjala, who managed upsell me a Premium Seaview Room from a Superior Seaview Room. He took the time to explain the differences between each tier, accommodated to my budget constraints, and brought me to each room (empty ones of course) for a viewing before committing to an upgrade. After hearing that I was there on honeymoon (my husband would only arrive later), he relayed that to the rest of the team who took care of us wonderfully throughout our 4-day stay. Overall, room is clean and roomy, perfect for business calls with fast and reliable in-room wifi. Only downside is their TV doesn't have Netflix or Airplay, only Miracast for Android/Windows users. Tip for travellers: tell your driver this used to be Movenpick hotel - they will know where to drop you off.

I chose this hotel because I had a night flight. I was worried that it was a new hotel and not listed on Google Maps, but I managed to get there. I didn't know what to do when I arrived at the hotel at night, so my taxi driver contacted them. The owner was very kind! ︎The room was clean, and the garden was cleaned in the morning! ︎

Loved my experience at Amari. Will definitely recommend in terms of service quality, friendliness of staff, and the food.  The bed was super comfy and the sea view room was excellent.

Sofia Colombo is a beautifully designed boutique hotel that blends contemporary style with warm Sri Lankan hospitality. From the moment you walk in, the space feels calm, elegant, and thoughtfully curated — with soft lighting, modern decor, and a relaxed atmosphere that instantly puts you at ease. The rooms are spacious and stylish, with comfortable beds, sleek bathrooms, and all the modern touches you’d expect from a high-end stay. Many rooms have lovely city or garden views, and everything feels fresh and well maintained. The service is a real highlight — friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming without ever being overbearing. Staff are always ready to help with taxis, recommendations, or little details that make the stay smooth. The restaurant and bar area are also excellent — whether you’re enjoying breakfast by the pool or evening cocktails, the food and presentation are consistently impressive. It’s a quiet escape from the bustle of Colombo but still close to the city’s main attractions, cafés, and shopping spots. Overall, Sofia Colombo offers a perfect mix of style, comfort, and personality. Ideal for travellers who appreciate boutique luxury with a local touch.

Really nice hotel, very friendly staff, room felt very luxurious and clean. The pool was great with a good view. Everyone was very welcoming, would definitely stay again.

Stayed for a night after landing in Colombo. Hasini checked us in and was very friendly and welcoming; we were given all the information we would need during our stay. Large hotel with well kept rooms. Highlight of the stay had to be the breakfast buffet! The quantity and quality of options were amazing. Wish we had stayed another night so we could've enjoyed the buffet once more.

We had a fab stay at Marino Beach staff were very friendly and helpful. The restaurant served great food with a wide choice. Breakfast was amazing. The infinity pool on the roof was a great way to end a busy day walking around Colombo would highly recommend.

Perfect location. Hotel rooms are big and clean. Customer care and room service was excellent. Recommend this place for your short vacations with family and friends.
