Top Colombo Harbor Hotel Reviews

Taj Samudra

10/10 Excellent

"It was what you expect from Taj fantastic in all aspects"

Cinnamon Lakeside Colombo

10/10 Excellent

"Był to najlepszy hotel, w którym spaliśmy na Sri Lance. Ma bardzo dobrą relację ceny do jakości, obsługa jest przemiła, pokoje przestronne, a jedzenie jest wybitne, zdecydowanie polecam 👌"

Cinnamon Life at City of Dreams

8/10 Good

"Everything was absolutely great here EXCEPT they charged me a hefty fee to get into my room a few hours early after a long overnight flight when I just needed to sleep. The room was clean and available, but they didn't let me in without paying extra. I was already paying a lot for a nice room so that annoyed me. And I checked out the night before and of course they didn't give me any money back for leaving 14 hours early. A premium hotel with nice employees and excellent food. BUT little things like that charge for a room that was mine and empty will linger with me in my memory of their approach to their guests."

Granbell Hotel Colombo

10/10 Excellent

"Fantastic"

ITC Ratnadipa, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Colombo

10/10 Excellent

"Incredible hotel, Erenga at reception was really lovely and helped us sort out an issue with our room. The customer service was unmatched. The breakfast was also phenomenal!"

The Kingsbury Colombo

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed briefly at the Kingsbury and our overall experience was fantastic. It's central location is great for exploring Colombo if your trip is short and the actual hotel and food is fantastic. Our room was spacious and clean, and had a great view. The only minor issue is that staff weren't communicative at the restaurants about how to order or the expectation for the buffet/high tea or settling the bill. It was slightly awkward trying to figure out whether we could just grab food or we had to wait etc. It'd be nice if staff provided direction."

Zest Metropole

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely hotel and great staff."

C1 Colombo Fort - Hostel

10/10 Excellent

"Extremely helpful staff, clean room, good location."

Shangri-La Colombo

10/10 Excellent

"Great location! It’s connected to a shopping mall. Room is clean and gorgeous. We’d like to come back soon."
