Hôtels (The Luxury Collection à Colombo

Cet hôtel est excellent, de belles grandes chambres très propres, une belle piscine et une cuisine excellente et un bon rapport qualité/prix, le meilleur hôtel de Colombo pour le prix et un personnel très sympathique et attentionné.

My friend and I travelled to Colombo in January from the UK. The hotel is large, modern, well appointed. Comfortable bedrooms, ample choice at breakfast (which can get busy). Our room had a Lakeside view, pretty enough, but it also overlooked the poolside bar/club which had loud music playing till the very early hours, rendering sleep a challenge. I would recommend checking this, before you book, or stay on the other side of the hotel. However, what soured our stay was that the day after we checked in at the hotel, we were victims of a scam. As we left the hotel to walk to the local temple in the morning (still jet lagged), a man claiming to be a hotel employee started a conversation with us. He claimed his name was Sangha Perera. He appeared to be helpful, giving us directions. As it was raining, he advised us that taking a tuk tuk around the main tourist attractions would be easier and cheaper. As he was connected to the hotel, we trusted him. He 'found' us a tuktuk, and even joined us acting as an unnoficial guide. Eventually he ended up taking us to an 'officially credited' government approved jewellery shop, which had 50% off,  he even told us a percentage of profits would be donated to tsunami orphans. We were pressurised by the shop management (all men) into purchasing items.  After that the tuktuk driver told us the ride for 2.5 hours would cost equivalent of £100 in rupees, and things got very heated until we paid up. We reported the matter to the Jeevani Perera, Lobby Manager at Colombo Cinnamon Lakeside hotel. She told us the man did not work at the hotel, and an identical incident had happened previously. We also spoke to the hotel security officer, who said he would check hotel security videos. Later we even sent them photos of the man claiming to be an hotel employee and the tuktuk driver. We were disappointed to receive no response from them. BE WARNED if you stay at this hotel. Scammers are working around there, and the hotel seemingly turns a blind eye, without advising guests checking in! (SEE PHOTOS OF SCAMMERS ATTACHED). Am sure the same thing goes on outside other hotels too... We eventually went to the local police, who were helpful, and they went with us to get our money back from the jewellery shop (Lanka Sapphire Lapidary PVT Ltd., no 83 Dharmaphala Mawatha, Colombo 07), but it was not easy to do so. A salutary lesson.

The hotel has a beautiful view of the ocean from the roof top pool as well as from many of the rooms. The staff were very welcoming, even though we arrived before 2pm they made an effort to get our room ready quickly and let us check in early, which was very nice after an over night flight. Its easy to walk from the hotel to a number of restaurants, casinos, as well as to some of the popular attractions in the city. The restaurant in the hotel has a nice buffet, as well as a rooftop bar. The hotel was so nice that when we passed through Colombo when we were leaving Sri Lanka, we stayed there again.

This hotel is right next to a pharmacy as well as next to a market . However , it really isn’t close to the sites I don’t think. Considering it to be a third world country in a sense , the hotel itself wasn’t that bad. The service hotel service was timely and everyone was friendly . Really enjoyed the pool area

Emplacement parfait. Les chambres d'hôtel sont grandes et propres. Le service client et le service de chambre étaient excellents. Recommandez cet endroit pour vos courtes vacances en famille et entre amis.

l'hôtel est situé au Colombo 1, à moins d'une heure de route de l'aéroport. Les frais officiels de transfert aéroport sont un peu élevés. L'espace de la chambre n'est pas grand mais suffisant pour les voyages d'affaires, mais la vitesse du WiFi gratuit est faible. Le gymnase est petit. Le personnel est très gentil et le petit déjeuner est bon.

C'est la première fois depuis longtemps qu'il vit à Columbus. L'immeuble lui-même est un peu vieux 々 mais très beau hôtel. Le gardien de l'entrée ? Il est très bon. Un accès à un centre commercial de Galle. Le petit-déjeuner est délicieux. Je veux rester encore.

There were several problems: 1. Inspite of 2 king-size beds, which had been guaranteed in booking, we got 2 rooms with separate beds 2. We were waited for check-in for 25 min, cause the receptionists couldn't find the reservation, till the time, we found confirmation in email and resent it to them

Représentant de l'hôtel Columbus. La position est très bonne. Les bâtiments à côté de l'hôtel sont des centres de traitement de l'eau de Gulan, des barbeurs, des supermarchés et des places de cuisine. Il y a plusieurs restaurants à l'hôtel, donc vous n'avez pas à vous inquiéter de manger. Le petit déjeuner est très varié et la soupe de goût. Il est très vieux, donc il semble très vieux, mais très propre. La piscine est très grande et très belle, mais pas d'ombre, donc soyez prudent à la cicatrisation, peu de personnes nagent le jour.
