"On a adoré notre séjour à Anam Hôtel ! On y a passé 10 jours. On a pu se reposer. L’hôtel se situe à quelques mètres de la plage, où on peut y voir des magnifiques coucher de soleil le soir. Le personnel de l’hôtel est juste super super gentil. Il y a une cuisine que l’on peut utiliser, mais aussi une machine à laver dont on peut se servir. Allez-y les yeux fermés, vous ne regretterez rien."

Shangri-La Colombo

10/10 Excellent
"This was as good as expected from a high-end luxurious 5 star giant. The staff were amazing, breakfast and dinner buffet being exceptional and even the lobby cafe was really good. Perfect ocean views, convenient location with direct access to the really nice mall and really nice rooms. The bathrooms are proper luxury ones. The gym was good, with nice views as well and the spa was top notch. I rate this shangri-la at 100%. The staff do help to make everything easier and smoother."
