Granbell Hotel Colombo ★★★★

📍 282/5 Kollupitiya Road, Marine Drive, Colombo 03, Colombo

"The room was clean and tidy, the location was excellent, and the breakfast was plentiful."

Cinnamon Life at City of Dreams
9.2 (132 reviews)

Cinnamon Life at City of Dreams ★★★★★

📍 Cinnamon Life No.01, Justice Akbar Mawatha, Colombo 02, Colombo

"A nice, luxurious end to my first time in Sri Lanka. Room was spacious and had a beautiful view of the Lotus Tower, and service is extremely attentive. Breakfast was extremely diverse, and a server was eager to make local Sri Lankan recommendations which I really appreciated. However, the layout of the place is a little difficult, so be prepared to use a few different elevators to get around"

Marino Beach Colombo
9.4 (505 reviews)

Marino Beach Colombo ★★★★★

📍 590 Marine Drive, Colombo 03, Colombo

"Everything was excellent. The room looked great, the price was good, plenty of facilities, the pool was beautiful, the communal jacuzzi was lovely, and the view was absolutely superb. The breakfast was also really delicious with a wide selection. The only downside is that there isn't much to do within walking distance. So you have to take a tuk-tuk to One Face Galle Mall or other attractions. However, there's also a Marino Mall you can walk to through the hotel."

Galle Face Hotel

Galle Face Hotel ★★★★★

📍 2 Galle Rd, Colombo 03, Colombo

Amari Colombo Sri Lanka ★★★★★

📍 No. 254 Galle Rd, Colombo 03, Colombo

"Perfect location for people who wants to take train from Kollupitiya Railway Station. The night and ocean view from 26th floor rooftop bar and swimming pool is awesome. Room is clean and comfy, breakfast with plenty of varieties and food tasty too. Service is topnotch. If we revisit Colombo will stay Amari again."

Grand Oriental Hotel ★★★★

📍 2 York St, Colombo 01, Colombo

"Stay in hotel is perfect as per my idea ‘ food is good staff is helpful ‘ breakfast perfect"

Cinnamon Grand Colombo
9.0 (111 reviews)

Cinnamon Grand Colombo ★★★★★

📍 77 Galle Rd, Colombo 03, Colombo

"The rooms were very clean and spacious, and there's a pool too. Everyone was very professional and greeted us with a smile. The doorman's smile was particularly lovely. We had a late-night flight, but we were able to use the hotel's shower after sightseeing before heading to the airport, which was truly a lifesaver."

Apna Colombo
7.4 (1 reviews)

Apna Colombo ★★★

📍 36 Sudarshana Rd, Colombo

The Kingsbury Colombo
9.4 (143 reviews)

The Kingsbury Colombo ★★★★★

📍 48 Janadhipathi Mawatha, Colombo 01, Colombo

"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."

"Staff were very friendly and happy to help. Pool was great with beautiful views and plenty of room for everyone (never felt crowded). The room was very run down and the AC made alot of noise which made it difficult to sleep. The bed was comfortable and room was clean, just very old."

50 By The Sea Hotels in Colombo

50 By The Sea

"This is a fantastic boutique hotel situated just a bit further down Marine drive, away from the commotions of downtown Colombo in Dehiwala area. Its easily accessible by any transport and has the most amazing views from the suites. Although they don't offer any food with the rooms, there's two eateries downstairs with local and international cuisines. The rooms are so well designed and cozy that you would just want to stay in. But if you dont want to, everything is within reach including the beach right opposite. The only thing to be wary about is that they charge separately for stuff like early check in, late check out and luggage storage. Regardless, we are definitely coming back when we visit Colombo next time."

Supun Arcade Residency Hotels in Colombo

Supun Arcade Residency

"Have stayed at this place in 2023 and Aug 2024. It is good for when going as a family vacation but not great if I was traveling there for work. I hope the management takes some time to improve the smaller details or provide a premium service offering where everything is ready to go. Positives: - Great location, close to transportation easily accessible to anywhere. - Staff are great, especially after tipping them they will look after you well! - Supermarket on ground floor, well stocked and convenient - Pool and restaurant on roof good quality and nice views Negatives: - No wifi, TV didn't work (because of poor internet) - Bedside tables not there, no power near the beds or near table to set up your laptop (for example). Hotel needs to keep power boards, extension chords to help with this. So was very difficult to get work done, had to organise it all myself"

ITC Ratnadipa, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Colombo Hotels in Colombo

ITC Ratnadipa, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Colombo

"This hotel is a newly opened five-star Marriott hotel on the Colombo waterfront. Across the street is the Cinnamon Life at City of Dreams, a five-star hotel with a striking exterior. After much deliberation, I chose this one on the beachfront. There's security at the porte-cochère, and a baggage check before entering the hotel. The ground floor is lined only with sofas, and the front lobby is above. The lobby lounge was very spacious and had a gorgeous atmosphere – truly impressive. I arrived early, so the front desk wasn't crowded, and they upgraded my room without any special comment. It was a room with round walls, which I love, and absolutely beautiful. The room's interior and furniture had a more classic feel than I expected, with a large column, a spacious bed, and a large television being particularly striking. The minibar was housed in a heavy, single-door cabinet, giving it a luxurious feel, and there were five bottles of mineral water. However, the minibar refrigerator is usually locked, so it was a shame that I couldn't chill the water. There was welcome fruit on the table in the foreground. Next to the entrance was a walk-in closet, and beyond that was a spacious bathroom. The bathtub was open, but I appreciated that the toilet and shower were properly separated. The beauty mirror was also unusually large. Best of all was the round terrace, which offered views overlooking the beach and the city. The hotel has two pools, both infinity pools overlooking the ocean. The gym was in a hard-to-find location, behind a spa-like reception area. The breakfast area was one of the largest I've seen in any hotel so far, with plenty of food, but it was crowded and difficult to find things, which was a bit tiring. Also, there was a long line at the live kitchen, and many people, including the staff taking orders, were cutting in line, which was disappointing. If you'd like to see a video introduction to this hotel, try searching for "hakurepo" or the hotel name on YouTube."

"It's the best hotel I've stayed at in Sri Lanka, not the most expensive, but definitely the best. After all, it's a Macau-owned company, right? 👍👍 It was truly fantastic—luxurious, comfortable, new, and with no unpleasant smells. Awesome!"

"Overall I'm pretty satisfied, but there weren't enough face towels or amenities. There were no hangers or toothbrush sets either. However, the staff are all really friendly and the breakfast is super delicious, so I highly recommend this hotel!"

Granbell Hotel Colombo ★★★★
"Overall summary: Incredible value for money, highly recommended! Location: Facing the Indian Ocean, the lobby, breakfast room, guest rooms, rooftop bar, and swimming pool all offer unobstructed, direct ocean views. The train station right opposite the hotel is one stop before Colombo Fort Station. Express trains don't stop here, so you'll need to take a quick, inexpensive taxi from the main station, but it's a very short ride. If you love photographing trains and the ocean, you can capture great shots right from the hotel. Room & Amenities: The room facilities are decent. The bathroom faces the Indian Ocean directly, and there are USB ports by the bed, so no adapter is needed for the power outlets. Dining: The breakfast spread is very generous. If you have time, I recommend setting aside an hour to leisurely enjoy your breakfast while looking out at the Indian Ocean. Surroundings: There is a famous local ice cream shop just a 3-minute walk behind the hotel. It's also a very short taxi ride to One Galle Face Mall."

Cinnamon Life at City of Dreams ★★★★★
"The room facilities are relatively new, and the breakfast selection leans towards Indian cuisine. The hotel's location is excellent, but the water in the pond in front of the hotel is quite murky and green. There's a casino on the second floor of the hotel, mostly frequented by Chinese guests."
