Kingsbury hotel is in a prime location closer to the beach activities. Some rooms are with sea view. Shopping mall is nearby that offers variety of shops and services. Restaurants provide wide selection of food options with local and international cuisines. The rooms are carpeted which emits old odour. The room furniture needs modernising. We experienced issues with booking. They couldn’t find our booking and gave us a room in a lower floor and the furnitures were old with smelly carpet. On my complaint, we were upgraded to a suite room in a higher floor which was classy and the view was excellent. Don’t know I can afford to stay in a suite. The staffs were helpful. I didn’t have a chance to use all amenities but I noticed there were many options. I will stay again if I am given a room in a higher floor or if I can afford a suite room.

Facilities: It's an old hotel, but well-maintained, and the pool is quite nice. Cleanliness: Clean and tidy. Environment: Strong Christmas atmosphere, and there's always live performances in the lobby, which is amazing! In the morning after breakfast, I saw a young man playing the piano, and in the evening, there was a band playing. It was a great experience. Service: The doormen were all very welcoming. Five-star standard service!

It was a great hotel. The food at their restaurants were excellent. The service by the various staff in the hotel was also excellent. The hotel had great facilities with Gym and Spa, etc. The hotel is well located in the city center and opposite the Trade Center.

Very good
Posted on Feb 6, 2026
My room was pleasant. It was a reasonable size, with a comfortable bed. The foyer and seating areas always seemed crowded. The only place to relax was at the pool. Pedestrian access to the hotel is problematic. It is surrounded by busy roads and crossing them is not for the faint hearted.
Response from Property: Dear Valued Guest,Thank you for your review. We’re pleased the comfort of your room and the pool area helped make your stay enjoyable. We appreciate your observations and your feedback has been shared and is being reviewed with the relevant team as we continue improving the guest experience.It was a pleasure hosting you, and we look forward to welcoming you back for a more relaxing visit.Warm regards,Team Kingsbury

It’s good even though the price is not cheap, but for the big area, guest has to take a walk to any other place.

This was a really nice hotel and stay however although check was at 2pm the room was not ready until after 5:15pm. We arrived around 4 and ended up waiting by the pool for our rooms. Otherwise the pool and rooms and staff were very nice and accomodating. The breakfast buffet and the portions at the Steakhouse were sensational 🥰 The view from the room was also really nice.
Response from Property: Dear Guest,Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We’re glad to hear that you enjoyed our pool, rooms, and the overall hospitality of our staff. It’s wonderful that you loved the breakfast buffet and had an excellent dining experience at the Steakhouse.However, we sincerely apologize for the delay in your room’s readiness. This is certainly not the standard we aim to provide, and we will look into improving our check-in processes to avoid such delays in the future.We truly appreciate your kind words and hope to welcome you back soon for a seamless stay and another wonderful experience.Warm regards,The Kingsbury, Colombo Team

Arrived late at night and was approached by the staffs and mentioned to me "we were expecting a cigarette from you Sir". First time I am experiencing this. Totally not acceptable. Time for a switch in Hotel preference.
Response from Property: Dear Mr. Leong,Thank you for sharing your feedback. We deeply regret the experience you had upon your arrival at our hotel, and we sincerely apologise for the unacceptable comment made by our staff. This is certainly not reflective of the level of service we strive to provide.We have escalated this matter to the relevant managers and Heads of Departments for immediate review and corrective action. Rest assured, this will be addressed to prevent such incidents from occurring in the future.We truly hope you will reconsider your decision and allow us the opportunity to restore your confidence in our service.Warm regards,The Kingsbury, Colombo team

I recently stayed at this hotel and had a wonderful experience. The rooms were clean, tidy, and well-maintained, making it worth every penny. The staff were extremely helpful and went out of their way to ensure a comfortable stay. The breakfast offered a great variety of options, catering to different tastes and dietary preferences. From fresh fruits to hot dishes, everything was delicious and well-prepared. The overall ambiance of the hotel was pleasant, and the amenities were top-notch. I highly recommend this hotel for both business and leisure travelers. It’s a great value for the money, and I would definitely stay here again!
