Pullman Colombo City Centre

10/10 Excellent

"From the point of our check in, the service & care provided was excellent. Misbah who was at the front desk promptly attended to us. He made us aware of the other options and facilities available. He was very helpful in arranging services from end to end going above and beyond. He is a credit to the Pullman hotel team . We loved our stay and all services from executive lounge to food at Thai Rasa restaurant . Also credit to Nisitha who was very attentive to us during our stay. Great staff, truly an asset to the hotel."

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."

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!"

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

Colombo Villa at Cambridge Place

10/10 Excellent

"It’s a house near the national museum in an area with many embassies. We arrived during cyclone ditmah so there were lots of fallen trees and water but still found it walkable. Staff were friendly and able to arrange tuktuk ride. Breakfast was our first experience of Sri Lankan food and was serviceable in retrospect. There are many cafes nearby. "
