“The hotel is located in centre of colombo city.it is small and simple in nature. Hotel fecilities are good and staff courtesy is excellent more “

“The hotel is ok. The public areas could use a face lift the rooms are fine. My biggest beef was the coffee shop. There were times when I was the only one in the coffee shop yet it would take ages to get served. I think you can get a better hotel for a bit more money. I would try”

“This review is mainly for British customers (but parts of it maybe useful for everyone). This was our honeymoon and was split into 2 parts a touring holiday of Sri Lanka for one week then another week in the Maldives. We booked the holiday through 1st choice. If we cover the hotel 1st then the rest of the holiday later…. “

“We booked a Hayes and Jarvis holiday to travel Sri Lanka and Maldives and I have to say this hotel was not the best start. The public areas are OK but the rooms were really basic and the towels and bedlinen very old and not inviting. Luckily we only stayed one night before comencing our tour. We ate in the”

“We stayed at this hotel as it was relatively cheap as compared to other hotels like Galle Face and Cinnamon Plaza but our experience was extremely poor partly because of the unrenovated facilities and largely because of one male stupid front desk staff. The hotel looks a bit old and run-down when we enter the hotel which absolutely requires renovation…. “

“We stayed in Holiday Inn in Colombo for 1 night st the beginning of our First Choice Discover Sri Lanka tour. The hotel rooms were clean and comfortable – slightly more shabby than Holiday Inn’s in the UK but still comfortable. We ate our evening meal in one of the restaurants downstairs (I forget which one is was as there”

“We stayed at the Hilton Colombo Residence for 2 weeks in April. We are a family of 3 (Husband Wife and 20 month old son) visiting SL to see family and friends.

“I’m a long term guest in a 3 bedroom suite no. 3006 at Hilton Residence-Colombo in Sri Lanka and we plan to keep the apartment for at least 30 more months as our business is on going. My recent trip to Colombo was during a terrorist attack by the LTTE on the capital on February 21 2009 and I am”

“We had planned a short vacation at Colombo. I had read reviews of the Hilton Colombo Residence on the websites but with quite diagonally different views. I was quite confused of what i was heading for. Anyway for all…here is my first hand experience. We were picked up from the airport…a decent vehicle sedan but just comfortable for 3 adults”

“This is such a great place to stay especially long-term. We had an apartment with 1 double room and 2 singles with a bathroom shower room kitchen and great lounge for £100 a night. Opodo forgets to mention that you have to pay 28% taxes in addition to the total price they quote which I didn’t appreciate but the hotel”

“We returned to Sri Lanka after 18 years to host our daughters wedding from the UK. The booking was done through the www.hilton.com site where we saw some great images of their suites and facilities.

“Easy to book on line. Recieved free airport pick up as advertised on the net at the time. I gathered that this is no longer available. Check in was very smooth took only couple of minutes. We had a standard 3 bedroom apartment in 22nd floor. It is fairly average. Kitchen and washing machine is really useful. Staff were very”

“We recently returned from a short stay at the Hilton Residence Colombo. Being a family group this was the best and only option in Colombo for an upscale serviced apartment. Entrance is tightly guarded by security control and the lobby was a very small one. However check in did not take long and we made our way to our 3”

“Stayed in a 2 bedroom suite at the 23rd Floor. Nice view of a lake and the Ocean. Rooms are good and the staff although slow was friendly and helpful. Some basic things were missing for an apartment but it was okay. The kitchen was nice and everything worked fine. In-room Internet was expensive. The “magic” team (which is the”

“I had one of the most amazing experiences on my very first trip to Sri Lanka. I was booked at the Hilton Colombo by my local office. I reached there after 2 flights from Mumbai via Chennai a little bit exhausted from the travel. The moment I entered recieved a very warm welcome by the Lobby manager and was escorted”

“Spent 7 Days (end-of-June) in Hilton for a conference in the hotel — the location is approx 40 minutes from airport and located one block from ocean and in central part of city. Shopping within 10 minutes from hotel. The Hilton is a very nice hotel and the staff is OUTSTANDING (ask for Adrian in the lobby; and Gayan in”

“I stayed here for business with four collegues. The rooms we had were nice spacious clean and had great aircondtioning. The view was very nice (Indian Ocean and skyline of Colombo). Because of the war we were not allowed to take pictures of that view. The Hilton has some great restaurants. I especially liked the Sri Lankan Restaurant outside. Breakfast”

“Stayed at The Hilton for 2 nights in April. The service at the hotel was very good. We had a room on one of the higher floors so the views were excellent rooms are also of a good size some of the furniture is however starting to look a little well used. The food at the hotel was very good”

“Hilton is the only hotel linked by a walkway to Colombo’s World Trade Center. Well appointed guestrooms and impeccable service is something you can count on at Hilton. The rooms and pool live upto the reputation.There’s a great Japanses restaurant in the hotel which serves great sushis. Obviously very expensive but quite convenient to business travellers. more “

“It used to be a good hotel centrally located and with good restaurants. However during the last 2 years the age seem to be taking a toll over the same: the maintenance of the structure is not great the rooms have not been renovated for several years few problems happen in the bathrooms (hot water comes at a random pace “

“i stayed in this hotel many times. Staff at the hotel is very friendly always keen to helpand make the things comfortable for the customer. I am a member of Hilton group.

We arrived very early in the morning we were very tired and the hotel staff were very helpful by providing us with a room 7 hours before the regulal check-in. The room we requested for wasnt available at that time so we were given another room till”

“I have never seen such a beautiful and a huge Swimming pool. I loved Swimming in the Hilton pool. Although the staff of the pool side restaurant are not very courteous to Asian guests.

Grand Oriental Hotel

“The first thing that struck me about this hotel is its colonial architecture. Its a part of history. The hotel is overseeing the port and provides good view of the sea. The tariff is very cheap for the facilities. There is no swimming pool though. If you don’t believe spending too much on hotels but want a nice place to”

“It’s not good at all…the rooms and the hotel stink badly. Especially the old wing. If they are giving you the old wing please don’t fall for the charm of it it is sick and horrible. the only good part is the spa and the food”

“Room was spacious with quiet air con and cold fridge. Bathroom had bathtub with hot water which is a rare find in SL. Staff were friendly. Location is good for those wanting to do some sight seeing around Colombo and great for those catching the train to other parts of the country (central train station only a few blocks away)…. “

“I was also one of the travellers to be fooled by the description of the hotel in the website and snaps..The reception and lobby was the only decent part of the hotel. Old room with furniture probably 50 years old noisy AC…Staff were ok but incapable lot at the reception. Tried to overcharge me for the 10% charge I paid”

“Don’t be fooled by this hotel’s name – undoubtedly it was a “Grand Oriental Hotel” – but that was 100 years ago. The lobby is probably the nicest part of the hotel it’s all steep downhill from there. The hotel overall is really dilapidated. We stayed one night actually checked out at 3am to catch an onward flight and were”

Came back after some last minute shopping only”

“We arrived in Sri Lanka after a month backpacking round Japan on a budget. After a month in youth hostels any hotel was going to be good but the Grand Oriental was something else!! Porters opened the doors for us and ushered us into the grand lobby the staff were lovely everything was beautiful. Our room was big and airy “

“What was once a Grand hotel is now a faded lady. Excellent service and food and the hotel has a top floor restaurant giving a wonderful overview of the harbour and ships coming and going. The ground floor Sri Lankan restaurant served a near lukewarm buffet on the night we ate there. The bedroom whilst large had a bedspread that”

“A true piece from the history still available for all those modern you and me.. we are talking abt victorian furniture and huge rooms at ur disposal at this hotel .. Nice place at a excellent location on colombo. We arrived a rainy day.. and there was lot of tension around the city. Hving gunmen and police at every 250”

“Faced between a choice of the old wing and the new wing we opted for the new wing (partly because of the reviews we saw on TA!). It was a good decision. The new wing seamlessly melds with the old wing and while it does not exude the old world charm of the latter it still has carefully leveraged on”

“The Galle Face Hotel is the most perfect relic of a bygone era. The hotel is an imaculate period building of circa 1880 and set on the coast in the heart of Colombo. We stayed there twice the first two nights of our stay and the last two nights . The staff were charming but discreat. I was impressed that”

“This is wonderfully old fashioned colonial hotel in a great part of Colombo close to signts and good shopping. We had booked to stay in a classic room but paid a bit extra after we arrvied to transfer to the Regency Wing the rooms there are superb and for the final two nights of our stay we were upgraded to”

“By the sea and near the metropolis in the city of Colombo Galle Face Hotel is surely a huge hotel with a good location that is driving distance to many important shopping centres tourist attractions and restaurants. An antique building reminiscent of the Colonial times this hotel feels like travelling back to the past where skyscrapers and high-tech gadgets weren’t”

“Built in 1864 Galle face continues to exude old world charm.We stayed in the original wing with its huge bedrooms and loved it.Excellent food in the restaurants and a bar overlooking the ocean. Hard to fault unless you insist on state of the art modernity. Beware the touts outside however whose opening lines tend to be “Hello Sir/Madam. Remember me? I work at”

“nice place plenty of character but only if you decide to stay in the old part of the hotel. I was lucky enough to be given a room facing the sea and it had windows on three sides what a treat ! the furniture was beautiful and the smell of wax (from the old woden flooring) complete the pleasure of”

“We stayed in the Galle Face at the start of a tour of Sri Lanka so we didn’t get to see anything of Colombo other than the road-blocks on the way from the airport!

Admittedly the hotel is looking a little tired and needs a renovation but it is spotlessly clean the rooms are spacious”
