Granbell was a great hotel which is proven to be a very popular spot of tourists from several countries, mainly Russia, Germany, France, UK, Australia, China, Korea, and Japan. The hotel itself had great amenities, view, and food. I would definitely recommend friends to this hotel to friends and family. Hotel ammenities itself were amazing overall. The rooftop bar, spa, gym, pool, and others were all of great quality.
The location of the hotel was well placed in the city but the immediate surroundings of the hotel were mostly rundown buildings and a loud train stop. It is hard to say that the location was good to walk around but with tuk tuks easily available things were fine during our trip.
Areas of improvement and negative aspects are that our room did not have a cupboard or iron which made things a bit difficult and we suspected the bathroom sink to have a minor leak which made the whole bathroom floor wet but was hard to tell. Lastly, all the staff were very nice and helpful except for the concierge team. I can’t say all but most were not helpful as they never opened the door for me, refused to help me translate to an uber and tuk driver when I needed help, and generally seemed uninterested to help guests unless really required to. It was more a minor nuisance so I didn’t make any fuss about it.
All things considered we were mostly happy with the hotel.
The hotel is situated quite close to the airport. The driver patiently waited to pick us up after our flight was delayed 4 times. The room was huge and the toilet was so big too. To bad due to our flight delay we only manage to spend few hours. Otherwise the place was in a big garden with a pool.
Beware of mosquitoes.
Breakfast is not buffet but basic menu by request.
Есть кондиционер, вентилятор, душ/туалет, широкая кровать, небольшой холодильник, стол и два кресла. Остановится на несколько дней, если вы уже распланировали свой маршрут и знаете, где будете питаться - хорошее место! Я вернусь сюда в конце своего маршрута ещё на 2 дня. Хозяин очень гостеприимный и всегда готов ответить на ваши вопросы. Обязательно выбирайте опцию «завтрак», так как я просто не нашёл места, где можно позавтракать.

Loved my experience at Amari. Will definitely recommend in terms of service quality, friendliness of staff, and the food.
The bed was super comfy and the sea view room was excellent.
Stayed for 4 nights as i had a wedding to attend.
It was my first time visiting Colombo City so went in with lots of excitement in general.
Got to hotel pretty late, but was welcomed by a very friendly doorman who took all my bags.
Check in was smooth.
Room is very clean, modern, full A/C, it's all well done.
I had a nice view to the city and the ocean.
I used the gym, it's decent, has everything you need to keep yourself fit during your stay.
There are loads food places, like western to asian food all near by.
50m away from a big supermarket if you need to grab anything.
It's about 20,25 mins away from Red Mosque on Tuktuk.
I'd stay here again for sure.
We had a fab stay at Marino Beach staff were very friendly and helpful. The restaurant served great food with a wide choice. Breakfast was amazing. The infinity pool on the roof was a great way to end a busy day walking around Colombo would highly recommend.
I chose this hotel because I had a night flight.
I was worried that it was a new hotel and not listed on Google Maps, but I managed to get there.
I didn't know what to do when I arrived at the hotel at night, so my taxi driver contacted them.
The owner was very kind! ︎The room was clean, and the garden was cleaned in the morning! ︎
Our family of three checked into the hotel during the first week of May 2025. Unfortunately, our overall experience was underwhelming. Room service was disappointing, our order was incorrect, and we chose not to send it back as we assumed it would take a long time to receive the correct one. It also took three separate calls just to receive the room service menu.
Additionally, we were charged for ice despite having an active room service food bill, which felt unreasonable. When we inquired about evening entertainment (Friday eve), the front desk assured us a live band would be performing, but this never happened.
It appeared the resort seems to operate with minimal staff, which may explain the drop in service quality. On a positive note, we were warmly welcomed by a great host at check-in, and the barman at the pool bar made excellent cocktails and provided friendly service. Hopefully, this could be just a rare slip-up.

Visited Colombo during off-peak season so we managed to visit the city with less crowd. Views from any sea-facing room is incredible for its price - slight blocking with 2 towers in front but you can get a better unblocked view if you go for Premium tier rooms. I have to commend reception staff Anjala, who managed upsell me a Premium Seaview Room from a Superior Seaview Room. He took the time to explain the differences between each tier, accommodated to my budget constraints, and brought me to each room (empty ones of course) for a viewing before committing to an upgrade. After hearing that I was there on honeymoon (my husband would only arrive later), he relayed that to the rest of the team who took care of us wonderfully throughout our 4-day stay. Overall, room is clean and roomy, perfect for business calls with fast and reliable in-room wifi. Only downside is their TV doesn't have Netflix or Airplay, only Miracast for Android/Windows users. Tip for travellers: tell your driver this used to be Movenpick hotel - they will know where to drop you off.

Convenient location near Fort station and a few mins walk to a good selection of tourist restaurants, cafes and bars near the World Trade Centre. Probably one of the best locations in Colombo for tourists using the train.
Clean and spacious room. Comfortable bed and good shower with hot water. My room also had decent air conditioning.
Friendly, helpful staff. Easy check in. Good price. I will happily stay here again next time I am in Colombo.

GGuest UserThis hotel is in Wattala which is only 7km from the Fort train station but feels ages away.
Service - excellent. As in all areas of Sri Lanka the staff are very friendly and helpful. All say hello and genuinely seem to enjoy their jobs. There seems to be an army of cleaners and wait staff and again, all are friendly with very good English. The doorman was my favourite with a massive smile and great personality!
There were some issues with the half-board deal I was on regarding when and where you can have the half board - which is only breakfast and dinner although on Trip it reads like you have a choice of when you can have your two meals a day. So just clarify when you arrive to be sure.
Facilities - big open ground, big swimming pool which you could do laps in if you wanted but also with decent steps on the side so younger children can play. There is also a small children's pool too which is adjacent to the big pool and next to the sun bathing area which has around 10 sun chairs in pairs with an umbrella and small table around the grass area, with more chairs and beanbags set up on the higher area.
I have seen big groups playing team games, cricket, football, some weird waterpolo/volleyball/handball game in the pool and even a few keen cricket players today.
Restaurant - the floor level open air restaurant is well staffed, nicely proportioned and the buffet breakfast, lunch or dinner is extensive (if a little repetitive after three days). On some occasions there was live music which was nice and not overpowering, playing mainly English music.
Bar - The Fishery is the outdoor restaurant for al e carte food service and some drinks. You can choose to sit under the roof bar area or under trees next to it, on big picnic style seating.
Gym - this is located next to the pool/restaurant and although it is a bit tired, it has everything you need. The running machines are a bit clunky but at least they work, the weight machines are a little stiff to move but again they are functional. There are free weights and area to work out - even a small space for yoga or stretching if thats your thing. There is also air conditioning - and in 30+ heat, very much needed!
Downside - its a bit hard to get to and you have to take a taxi or tuk tuk (don't pay anything over 5,000 for this!). The beach which you can see and hear, is very close but not suitable for swimming - especially for young children. Also the beach isn't particularly clean - outside the hotel the beach is raked for appearances, but walk 50m to your left or right, and its not too pretty!
Not really a downside but be aware that if you are here in weekend, this place seems to host a lot of parties, weddings and events - which is great energy with lots of noise and atmosphere. It is a lot quieter in the week days. And the pool becomes full in the afternoons!!!
TtoranekoThis hotel is conveniently located for sightseeing in Colombo. You can see the sea from the room and walk to watch the trains run along the coast.
There was no hairdryer, so I called the front desk to have one brought up, but they gave me one that seemed to be for wall mounting, which was a bit inconvenient. Also, there was no refrigerator.
AAnonymous UserCinnamon Lake offers a wonderful overall experience. The facilities are well maintained and comfortable, the food is fresh, tasty, and well presented, and the service is warm and attentive without being intrusive. The peaceful surroundings add to the charm, making it a perfect place to relax and unwind. Overall, it’s a memorable experience that feels calm, welcoming, and worth visiting again.
RRajaratnam ChitranganAmazing location and friendly staff and clean rooms. Will be a added bonus if we can have Jaffna food Available all day from lunch time till midnight. Great experianca. Well done
GGuest UserWE DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS HOTEL.
Despite a very good start which involved a very helpful early check-in for our group of four travelers (two rooms) and lots of friendly smiles from the hotel reception team, unfortunately our stay took a bit of a negative turn owing to some confusion over two additional bookings we had made to extend our stay following a change in our plans. I really find it hard to understand why this simple process caused confusion to the duty manager. The following day, despite clearly explaining that we had made additional bookings to extend our stay, the desk staff were confused and claimed that one of the room bookings was not confirmed. The duty manager was dismissive to us and actually ignored us, (even though he had perfectly good English to communicate with us), preferring to speak through another member of the reception team who was standing right next to him. After a wait of at least 15 minutes, I told him that we were not prepared to wait any longer and that he could let us know once the issue had been resolved. This was clearly an administrative problem between the hotel and Trip.com which soured our stay. The duty manager was unprofessional and discourteous towards his guests.
Our experience left us unwilling to use any of the hotel facilities other than the breakfast buffet. The breakfast buffet was very good and the staff team exceptional in their service and friendliness. We did use the lounge bar on one occasion and again, found the staff to be friendly and helpful - special mention to Jerushan, with whom we enjoyed a great conversation. He is a credit to the staff team. Perhaps given his people skills, he should be made a manager?!
Other than the reception area, the hotel is very tired and in desperate need of an upgrade. In our room, a light switch cover fell off, some bulbs were not working and the room was dirty - a build up of dust in the corners and on the wardrobe louvres which quite obviously suggested the rooms were only being given a superficial clean.
As said, we do not recommend this hotel and we will not stay here again. We expect far from a Ramada branded establishment.

IIbrahim AzlifCinnamon Life truly lives up to its name as the City of Dreams! The facilities are world-class, offering everything you could possibly need and more. There are plenty of dining options with excellent food outlets to choose from. The gym is well-equipped and maintained, perfect for keeping up with your fitness routine during your stay.
The pool area is spotless and inviting, with attentive onsite lifeguards ensuring safety at all times. The poolside bar is a great place to relax and unwind a perfect spot to chill out after a busy day.
Cinnamon Life is more than just a hotel; it’s a full-fledged business and entertainment centre that has everything under one roof. I truly enjoyed my stay and will definitely be returning!
BBeeshman BahiradanHotel Nippon Colombo offers a decent stay with a few hits and misses. The rooms were okay — fairly clean, but could use some updating in terms of decor and maintenance. Service was polite but a bit slow at times, and certain amenities felt a little dated.
That said, the food was absolutely fantastic. The restaurant really impressed us with flavorful Sri Lankan dishes and a variety of options that felt authentic and well-prepared. Whether it was breakfast or dinner, the meals consistently stood out and were the highlight of the stay.
CCJ12A beautiful building in a very pleasant area of Colombo; the architecture and interior design of the hotel are a joy to behold and the vast majority of staff are polite and courteous. Plenty of amenities nearby to suit all tastes and interests. The breakfasts were great both mornings (both the Sri Lankan breakfast and the Western style), and they really lived up to the high expectations we’d had from the Instagram marketing we’d seen.
We were upgraded to the North West Suite, which was a larger room, for which we were greatly appreciative; a couple of issues with working plugs and appliances (coffee machine and hair dryer) were reported and rectified, although the wiring/plugs more broadly were temperamental and poorly placed (as expected, possibly, with the charm of an older hotel). However, the bed was comfortable, the hotel was quiet, and the bathroom was well appointed.
Our only qualm was with the overzealous Head of Housekeeping, who seemed to not grasp the subtlety required for such a role, or the privacy with which guests might like to enjoy the beautiful hotel. It appeared that he lingered all too often in search of a tip, and didn’t quite appreciate the boundaries one might desire when paying a reasonable fee for each night. My wife and I took to speedily locking the door and placing the ‘Do Not Disturb’ sign on the handle to keep his incessant interrupting to a minimum. His deputy was, however, an asset to the hotel, who seemed to comprehend the subtle art of providing high quality service for a luxury stay in a lovely hotel.
All-in-all, a great choice for a hotel in the heart of Colombo, and hopefully, during a busier season, the aforementioned Head of Housekeeping might spread his overbearing attention across the many rooms of the hotel.
OOlga’TA magnificent hotel, with delicious and varied breakfasts and beautiful, spacious rooms.
Daily cleaning, shampoo, lotions, and a full toiletries kit.
You can also exchange dollars; I highly recommend it.
However, during my stay, I wasn't offered a spa treatment even once, and there was no information at reception.
