Top Colombo Hotel Reviews

Cinnamon Lakeside Colombo

Cinnamon Lakeside Colombo

10/10 Excellent
"My stay at Cinnamon Lakeside Colombo was outstanding from start to finish. I was welcomed with a refreshing cup of cinnamon tea and cleansing towels, offered an early check-in upon arrival, and graciously granted a late check-out, which made my stay especially comfortable. The staff were consistently attentive, professional, and genuinely eager to help. They randomly came by my room and offered a fruit bowl of grapes, bananas, apples and guavas! The on-site restaurant serves excellent food, though prices appear higher than at many nearby establishments. Even so, the exceptional service and warm hospitality made this a memorable stay. I would gladly return."
