Marino Beach Colombo

Marino Beach Colombo

8/10 Good
"Fairly standard 5 star hotel with a great rooftop pool and gym. Fronts a 4 lane highway and train line. Noisy if you leave the door open or sit on the balcony. Can’t swim at the adjacent beach but there is a free shuttle to their beach club. Good value"
