"Best hotel and service I’ve ever received. The Ishq, and Asanga, as the staff servicing my trip, were incredible. I cancelled other hotels to come back to stay at the Ishq due to its service and staff. Nicest hotel in Colombo and the best staff! "
"Geoffrey Bawa design absolutely charming. Staff very friendly and showed us around the vacant rooms which was a real treat. Fantastic breakfast in perfect surroundings. "
"Beautiful oasis in Colombo: charming rooms, fantastic spa (best massage I’ve ever had!) and I highly recommend the cooking demonstration where the chefs will show you how to make Jaffna curries. A wonderful stay! "

"This hotel is the best resort in all over the Sri Lanka. Their service is excellent, nicely decorated rooms with every single amenity, and their breakfast and dinner buffet are really good quality taste and superb!"
"The apartment was great, and overall the stay was good, but when I arrived, there was still menstruation trash in my bathroom from the prior guest which made me question the overall cleanliness and attention to detail. "
"Absolutely loved the stay.. Great room service menu with delicious food (try out their vegetable lumprise which was the best i’ve ever had). Cozy bed and clean washroom.. Slept like a baby.. Had a relaxing time"

ITC Ratnadipa, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Colombo
10/10 Excellent
"There’s a new shining star in Colombo. If you’re wondering where all the great hospitality staff have gone, you’ll find them here."
"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."
"First rate updated bathroom. Room was nicely renovated. Ocean view room worth extra. Breakfast on oceanfront veranda was bliss. Walking distance to mall convenient. Air conditioning great in room. Bar restaurant also had air con. Heat at outdoor veranda oppressively hot in evening—my opinion
Recommend this place highly "
