"Create state"

Galle Face Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Our stay at Galle Face was a truly pleasant experience. The staff were friendly, helpful, and made us feel very comfortable throughout our stay.The breakfast buffet was excellent, with a wide variety of delicious options to choose from. The restaurant staff were always polite, attentive, and eager to ensure our needs were met. A special thanks to Devi for her kindness and exceptional service.We would also like to thank Guest Relations Executive Ivoni, who kindly arranged an early check-in for us after a long flight. This thoughtful gesture made a huge difference and was greatly appreciated.Thank you to the entire team for your outstanding hospitality and excellent service. We had a wonderful stay and look forward to returning in the future."

Fairway Colombo - Sri Lanka's First Hotel With Robot Technology

8/10 Good

"Nice clean hotel close to shopping and restaurants. Staff were friendly and very accommodating. Always willing to assist. If there is a negative experience, it would be the aggressive tuck tuck drivers that wait outside. Do not be scammed in getting them to take you anywhere without a confirmed price beforehand. They also make excuses that they need to stop at tea shops, jewelry places, or some massage place, all friends. Stand firm and say NO. Use Uber for safety."

ITC Ratnadipa, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Colombo

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent modern property! A delight to stay here….excellent views of the ocean too. And walking distance to almost everything. The drop off/ pick up arrangements are weird with multiple levels of lobbies but that is the architect’s fault….not the hotel’s. We will definitely be back"
