Galle Face Hotel
We had to wait over an hour for our room to be ready, and then call three times and visit reception to get towels. The dinner buffet was not great. Otherwise, the room was very comfortable, with huge bed. The hotel really is a time travel experience and worthy of a one or two night stay

Marino Beach Colombo
Clean and large rooms, bathroom has speakers so can listen to television; fridge has several complimentary drinks, biscuits and peanuts - nice and unexpected; roof top pool was enjoyable; free city tour definitely worth the time (2:30-5:30pm).

Hilton Colombo
This is a great hotel and for me the location was fantastic. Comfy bed, quiet room, great staff, food was also great. I would definitely stay here again. The hotel does everything really well, but it is also a pretty large property, so it is pretty busy at all times, but I would definitely stay here ...
