Beautiful property. Amazing breakfast buffet. Attentive staff.

Marino Beach Colombo
We had a fine stay, but this is definitely not a 5-star hotel. Rooftop was beautiful and breakfast was delicious, however our room had frosted glass so we couldn't see outside and the finishes were very cheap.

Galle Face Hotel
Steeped in history, good location and facilities. Good restaurant choices. Outside bar area is great overlooking the sea. Service was slow at times and hotel is a bit tired in places.
