Marino Beach Colombo

10/10 Excellent

"The views are stunning. The rooftop infinity pool overlooking the sea was beautiful. The access to the mall was great. The pianist in the evenings was very nice. Its a very old money type of property but the service and ameneties was great."

Mandarina Colombo

8/10 Good

"Highly reco"

Granbell Hotel Colombo

10/10 Excellent

"We returned to this hotel because we liked it so much, and again loved the location and surroundings of it. The rooms are beautiful and comfortable. Due to the public holidays, it was very busy this time and the breakfast room seemed a bit overwhelmed, plus it was difficult to get a towel"

Radisson Hotel Colombo

Colombo Court Hotel & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Small boutique hotel in the heart of Colombo, walking distance to the ATM, cafes and restaurants. Service is friendly, personal and non- intrusive. Pool is small but enough for a quick dip. Gym is tiny but enough. Third time staying, will be back!"

Ishq Colombo

10/10 Excellent

"I very rarely leave reviews but Ishq was exceptional. If you are looking for an alternative to big, chain hotels this small, intimate property is perfect. Beautiful rooms and spaces with personal service. Food exceptional. Thanks Darshana."
