Hotels near St Lucia’s Cathedral

"I would stay again staff was excellent."

"I was disappointed with the poor service at the buffet. It’s not about the food. The service staff were not welcoming at all. I paid for half board. The first night of the buffet, we had two cokes besides our normal food. While we were about to leave, the head waiter very loudly that all can hear, called us and said we need to pay for the cokes we consumed. I try to apologize to him. But, he turned away from us. That is vey insulting. For 1200/- you would embarrass us like that in front of all of the guest and staff. From that time forward we did not go to the already buffet at all. I had very high hopes for this hotel, since this is one of the oldest and renowned hotel in Colombo. But, the service staff need more coaching in customer engagement and it needs to start from top down. You lost two customers."

"Great hotel and restaurant, friendly and helpful staff, clean "

"Very well appointed hotel, comfortable rooms, good health facilities and spa, really nice breakfast, but the nicest thing was the staff... friendly, helpful, polite and engaging "

"Good"

"The staff at this hotel are exceptional; I've never encountered such helpful service during my travels through over 30 countries. They go above and beyond to assist. When I booked a car and the driver was delayed, the staff quickly ordered another one through their phone and guided the driver exactly where to go. Despite being a little late for our intercity train, their support was outstanding—they even texted me to confirm I boarded the train. I didn’t miss it. That’s how caring they are. They are truly some of the best staff in the world.😍😍"

"Outstanding "

"The hotel is nice but for a hilton could be better. We stayed here at the start and end of our holiday . It was a nice place to start but on our return we had a very smelly room which stank of stale smoke even though it was a non smoking room. We asked it to be fixed which it was not. The reception stuff were not as friendly compared to staff at other hotels in sri lanka and generally sri lankan people."

"Walking in was like stepping back to Coronation year, E2R I mean! This grand old lady looks exactly as she would have when our late Queen took possession of the Dominion. It's a beautiful time warp and so inexpensive. Huge rooms, clean, comfortable. The bathrooms are great. A lovely breakfast in the delightful top floor dining room bar looking over the port is not fancy but just what is required. The aircon works well but the water pressure in the shower a bit of a let down but hey, we cope! Ceiling fans would be nice. The public areas are just worth exploring, and it takes up a whole block! Wander the colonnades and discover old Colombo."
