Marino Beach Colombo

8/10 Good
"The hotel is a great location staff were impressive. However we were never told about the building works going on extending the hotel rooms right by the pool area on the tenth floor. This which would have been an excellent tranquil experience was ruin by the constant grinding and hammering noise which never stopped. Also the levels of safety on display from the contractors working on it was shocking. No edge protection one worker nearly fell over a hundred foot drop when he stumbled. Not great to see, these guys were working for less than £5 a day for twelve hours. Debris and scaffolding poles did drop over the edge while we were there."

Cinnamon Life at City of Dreams

8/10 Good
"Everything was absolutely great here EXCEPT they charged me a hefty fee to get into my room a few hours early after a long overnight flight when I just needed to sleep. The room was clean and available, but they didn't let me in without paying extra. I was already paying a lot for a nice room so that annoyed me. And I checked out the night before and of course they didn't give me any money back for leaving 14 hours early. A premium hotel with nice employees and excellent food. BUT little things like that charge for a room that was mine and empty will linger with me in my memory of their approach to their guests."

The Kingsbury Colombo

10/10 Excellent
"We stayed briefly at the Kingsbury and our overall experience was fantastic. It's central location is great for exploring Colombo if your trip is short and the actual hotel and food is fantastic. Our room was spacious and clean, and had a great view. The only minor issue is that staff weren't communicative at the restaurants about how to order or the expectation for the buffet/high tea or settling the bill. It was slightly awkward trying to figure out whether we could just grab food or we had to wait etc. It'd be nice if staff provided direction."

Enabling email alerts or push notifications from Hotels.com could help you stay informed about flash sales and special promotions, ensuring you’re aware of opportunities to save. Moreover, the Smart ShoppingOpens in a new window tool available via the app allows you to compare hotel prices and amenities, helping you find the best options. If prices drop or rooms become available, you’re more likely to be the first to know, making it easier to secure a last-minute getaway.
  3. Be flexible with dates: Prices may fluctuate depending on various factors such as the hotel's location, star rating, and the time of year. Therefore, being flexible with your travel dates could help you find a more advantageous rate for your stay in a hotel in Panadura. If you’re in search of distinctive accommodations, boutique hotels might provide a more personalised experience and potentially better value.

  4. Consider your location: Choosing accommodation nearer to key attractions or city centres can be convenient, but it often comes with higher costs. For more affordable options, consider hotels located in less central areas or neighbourhoods, striking a balance between price and accessibility to the sites you wish to visit. You might also look into independent hotels situated further out, as they usually tend to be cheaper and can offer a more authentic, budget-friendly experience.
