It maintains old world colonial character and charm, with its very high standards, excellent staff, and wonderfully relaxed atmosphere. We stayed 8 years ago and have been planning g a return since. We are however devastated to hear that the hotel will close at the end of its current lease in August 2027, so this was likely to be our last ever visit."

Marino Beach Colombo

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent"

Taj Samudra

10/10 Excellent

"True hospitality"

Mandarina Colombo

8/10 Good

"This is a 4 star facility at best, 3.5 star is a firm rating. Good location in Colombo, helpful staff. hallway carpet needs to be cleaned, along with the bathroom shower and floor areas that was dirty with mold. Food availability was good, tried the breakfast buffet and it was acceptable. I don't think this facility sells alcohol beverages however, did not see a bar or alcohol listed in the menu. Linen and toiletries were good as well."

Pullman Colombo City Centre

"We had a wonderful stay at the Flower Road Villa! There are three bedrooms upstairs with king beds and en suite bathrooms; this is the space with air conditioning. The living areas downstairs are spacious and take advantage of indoor/outdoor continuity. The location was quiet and well situated to get around Colombo. Most impressively the staff was fantastic. They are on site 24 hrs per day and can prepare homemade meals using organic produce when requested. The staff was so helpful with my elderly parents / helping them up the stairs and making sure they felt comfortable. We plan to stay here next time we are back in Colombo. "
