10/10 Excellent
"I have been staying at Colombo Hilton for many years. It is my favourite hotel. The staff are very friendly and they go out of the way to help your need. The property is spot on. Breakfast is excellent and I hope that I will get free breakfast included in my next trip. I am unable to comment about the sea view as I was given a room facing the entrance of the hotel"

"Excellent modern property! A delight to stay here….excellent views of the ocean too. And walking distance to almost everything. The drop off/ pick up arrangements are weird with multiple levels of lobbies but that is the architect’s fault….not the hotel’s. We will definitely be back"
