Top Colombo Hotel Reviews

The Kingsbury Colombo

The Kingsbury Colombo

10/10 Excellent
"We stayed briefly at the Kingsbury and our overall experience was fantastic. It's central location is great for exploring Colombo if your trip is short and the actual hotel and food is fantastic. Our room was spacious and clean, and had a great view. The only minor issue is that staff weren't communicative at the restaurants about how to order or the expectation for the buffet/high tea or settling the bill. It was slightly awkward trying to figure out whether we could just grab food or we had to wait etc. It'd be nice if staff provided direction."

Cinnamon Grand Colombo

Cinnamon Grand Colombo

10/10 Excellent
"The staff here really goes the extra mile. I had a package the week before I arrived and they had it on hand still for me. My room had a slight musty smell but I think that's common in extremely humid places. The AC worked well, good water pressure and shower. The bed was big and clean. I loved the Nescafé packets and creamer in the rooms. The coolest thing was this water dispenser in the room-- you could get hot or cold water right from it. They also were very generous with the bottles of water-- I had five in my room. There is security when you come into the complex. The hotel is about a 10 min walk to an oceanfront park and shopping mall. There is a spa and gym next door with modern facilities which I used. It seems ideal for families given the two pools and the large number of dining facilities on site. Breakfast was extra lavish-- there was everything!! A good range of start times too from 630-1030. The hotel is not on the beach. It seemed close to a lot of attractions and I was safe walking in neighborhood at night. There is a small shopping center with coffee shop and nail place next door. Quiet."
