Top Ja-ela Hotel Reviews

colombo international airport hotel

8/10 Good

"Hotel was good. Walking distance from airport. It’s a newly built hotel. We stayed here overnight. Everything was good but service could be better and there should be phone installed in each room for services"

ITC Ratnadipa, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Colombo

10/10 Excellent

"I stayed one night at the hotel the room was very clean and nice. The hotel staff was excellent and friendly."

Cinnamon Grand Colombo

10/10 Excellent

"The rooms are well furnished, The hotel has great choice in available food for breakfast and dinner which is very tasty. There is Siri Lankan, chinese and other types of cuisine, The staff are attentive and provide excellent service. The lobby areas are attractive"

Granbell Hotel Colombo

8/10 Good

"Rooms were clean and okay sized for the price. Buffet breakfast had many options and the views were fantastic. The main annoying aspect was the lifts - the building has too many floors to be serviced by 4 lifts. It was quite difficult at times to get up and down. My feedback would be to adjust the lifts so they're dedicated to specific set of floors"

The Kingsbury Colombo

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed briefly at the Kingsbury and our overall experience was fantastic. It's central location is great for exploring Colombo if your trip is short and the actual hotel and food is fantastic. Our room was spacious and clean, and had a great view. The only minor issue is that staff weren't communicative at the restaurants about how to order or the expectation for the buffet/high tea or settling the bill. It was slightly awkward trying to figure out whether we could just grab food or we had to wait etc. It'd be nice if staff provided direction."

Mandarina Colombo

8/10 Good

"The worst front of house experience I had during my entire trip from staff member Zaid. No smile, no hello, not a single word uttered, just a blank stare until we mentioned we were there to check in, which was then followed by the word 'passports'. This man should be working with machines, not people. The 'gym' is a tiny room squeezed to the brim with odd bits of equipment, pretty dated and unusable. The rooftop dining area is also very dated and not a resemblance of the photos. Other than the poor start to our stay here, the rooms were generally clean and comfortable. The property is located well on Galle Road,"

Shangri-La Colombo

10/10 Excellent

"Great location! It’s connected to a shopping mall. Room is clean and gorgeous. We’d like to come back soon."

Galle Face Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"It's a beautiful 5-star property, centrally located, on the ocean, with a history of over 160 years, with excellent amenities, including salt water swimming pool, gym, and restaurant, where royalty, prime ministers, presidents, movie stars, and celebrities have stayed over the years. It's highly recommended."

Cinnamon Life at City of Dreams

10/10 Excellent

"We checked-in to suite at Cinnamon life City of Dreams for two nights on our vacation. Cleanliness in the suite was excellent and the bed was very comfortable and a very quite atmosphere. The staff was very courteous and helpful. The Breakfast buffet was excellent with a wide spead. The pool was very clean and the pool staff was great. The Butler Service assigned for our suite was excellent too."
