Great amenities, great ambiance, love the feel. Great breakfast too. Loved the variety and choice. The Sri Lankan selection was great. Staff are very friendly and courteous. But the front desk employees seem not empowered at all. Had to check every minor thing, including the Expedia voucher with back office. The electronic key card had to be changed 3 times and it still failed to work regularly. Room cleaning staff always forgot to leave something including water. But they fix all the mistakes very promptly and my experience was positive. Will definitely stay again.

Great place to stay on first night in SL

Great stay here on my first night in Sri Lanka. Really clean, modern, and everything you would expect from a hotel of this quality. It's also very close to Colombo Fort station which is useful if you are going to continue the trip by train! I didn't use the pool but had a drink there and it looks great - one note was that the service was quite slow! Breakfast options were vast. Would definitely stay here again.

Definitely stay here

This is a fancy place, the lobby reminded me of a cruise ship. There was even live music! The swimming pool is large and pristine, and you can watch a variety of birds in the river while you soak in the pool. The staff is friendly and accommodating, the facilities are first class and the dinner buffet is amazing.

Please find somewhere else. This is a company that is very well known in sri lanka. We staed at cinnamon lakeside super room......with no lake view. Apparently thats more. It was £200 for 2 nights. A Monday and Tuesday. No breakfast. Pretty much same as london price and same room, minus sick stain on wall and floor (fingers really crossed it was sick). Ooooo and the worst bit (for me....appreciate its not going to bother everyone). No balcony and couldnot open windows so for 3 days / 2 nights we had a/c on constant. Now both have smokers cough. Great. There are just better places to stay to be honest. With better food and a better vibe. Wasnt great
