"WOW. We walked in and realized that there are security cameras everywhere and the fact that the caretaker was to stay with us is not advertised at all. We didnt feel comfortable so we just left.. the worst part? Hotels.com was never able to reach the manager, so we never got refunded for the money. we did NOT stay here, so i would think twice before staying here. If you are okay with staying with a caretaker, why not? but we just didn't feel comfortable and something about this place was OFF and...

Hot and humid all year round. Use sun block, and drink lots of water. People are generally nice, but Tuktuk drivers can be pushy about taking you to gemstone stores for commission. Also, use Uber. Best coconut water in the world

One thing about Sri Lanka is cleanliness. It is very clean everywhere and being a south Asian country, this is mighty impressive. Also, to explore the country, you have to get out of the capital! Colombo also has a good national museum, temples etc.

Colombo has a lot to offer as an interesting destination of old and modern. You would never be bored. The location that Kingsbury is at is perfect with the look across to the iconic Galle face green to its surrounds.

Colombo is ok for nightlife, but to enjoy need to move out to coastal towns. Compared to Malaysia, Vietnam & other Asian countries I would say Sri Lanka is an expensive place to visit.

Coming to Colombo regularly since 2005. I like the city and the beaches and sea nearby. Traffic and pollution becoming a problem though. I also do not like the minimum room rates which will spoil everything as the MRRs are based on dubious starrating

"The hotel rooms are clean and nice. The hotel cares about the environment and refills shampoo and soap bottles, and provides drinking water in a metal flask vs. Plastic water bottles.
Nice hotel in Colombo"
"Absolutely stunning hotel, highly recommend a sea view room here. Beautiful room, excellent view, even the gym is rooms including dance studio have ocean views! Rooftop pool overlooking the ocean is magnificent, with nice minima progressive house music playing. Staff are the best. Just book your stay already!"
"I stayed at Marino Beach Hotel for five nights recently and it was perfect. The staff made the biggest difference in my stay, they were friendly, available, and provided services immediately. This makes a big difference when you are jet lagged and need something early in the morning or late at night. During this trip, I happen to go to the other popular hotels in Colombo and realize how friendly and nice Marion’s staff were in comparison.
The rooms were clean and staff was available to clean/help at all times. Hotel is attached to a mall so it made shopping and getting meals outside the hotel easy. There are plenty of restaurants around. Easy to get a taxi/uber. Beautiful roof top pool area, clean, secure, and with a view.
The only complaint is that even though we had a sea facing balcony, the balcony smelt like food/kitchen fumes so we didn’t go outside at all. It would have been nice to seat outside and get some fresh air."
