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"

Renuka City Hotel

8/10 Good
"The staff were excellent and super helpful/attentive. They help carry your stuff to your room when you first get in, and will always ensure that you have everything you need during your stay. The room was generally clean, but because of the humidity, it can sometimes smell damp if the AC hasn’t been on for a while. Also, beware in my room and my friend’s room, there was some mould on the shower grout (it’s all tiled). Additionally, (mine was fine) but my friend’s mini fridge in her room was not working. We were only staying one night so we did not mention it and just got her to put her stuff in my fridge, but that’s all to say that the amenities can be a bit hit or miss in that sense. I didn’t use the pool or gym though, so can’t speak for those specific amenities. The vibe of the place in general was slightly dingy but it was a good place to stay for our short stay. The location is convenient and you have a cargills nearby if you need to buy snacks/water/etc. I also slept really well because they have blackout curtains and it was very quiet (my room was on 4th floor)."

Mandarina Colombo

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,"
