Top Gelanigama Hotel Reviews

Taj Samudra

10/10 Excellent

"True hospitality"

The Kingsbury Colombo

10/10 Excellent

"The entire staff was very friendly and accommodating."

Radisson Hotel Colombo

10/10 Excellent

"Very Nice place to stay, friendly staff. Good breakfast. I recommend this Radisson hotel if anyone likes to visit Colombo."

Mandarina Colombo

8/10 Good

"This is a 4 star facility at best, 3.5 star is a firm rating. Good location in Colombo, helpful staff. hallway carpet needs to be cleaned, along with the bathroom shower and floor areas that was dirty with mold. Food availability was good, tried the breakfast buffet and it was acceptable. I don't think this facility sells alcohol beverages however, did not see a bar or alcohol listed in the menu. Linen and toiletries were good as well."

Hilton Colombo

8/10 Good

"Excellent property, well maintained! I do feel the prices at the restaurant are a bit too high though!"

Cinnamon Grand Colombo

10/10 Excellent

"Great service! The staff is absolutely amazing here, the property also is beautiful and well kept!"

THE DEN 23

10/10 Excellent

"Staff was very good and cooperative"

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"

Cinnamon Lakeside Colombo

10/10 Excellent

"Był to najlepszy hotel, w którym spaliśmy na Sri Lance. Ma bardzo dobrą relację ceny do jakości, obsługa jest przemiła, pokoje przestronne, a jedzenie jest wybitne, zdecydowanie polecam 👌"
