Housekeeping staff should get a better training room was clean towels missing almost everyday.
Front office good
Staff very friendly variety & taste of food excellent.
Gym & sauna good.
Concierge good.
Pool area need a cosmetic treatment
Great amenities, great ambiance, love the feel. Great breakfast too. Loved the variety and choice. The Sri Lankan selection was great. Staff are very friendly and courteous. But the front desk employees seem not empowered at all. Had to check every minor thing, including the Expedia voucher with back office. The electronic key card had to be changed 3 times and it still failed to work regularly. Room cleaning staff always forgot to leave something including water. But they fix all the mistakes very promptly and my experience was positive. Will definitely stay again.
I chose Cinnamon Lakeside for the last 2 nights of my stay as this is the hotel my daughter was staying at. We only had breakfast and a cup of tea, but these were fine.
Great stay here on my first night in Sri Lanka. Really clean, modern, and everything you would expect from a hotel of this quality. It's also very close to Colombo Fort station which is useful if you are going to continue the trip by train! I didn't use the pool but had a drink there and it looks great - one note was that the service was quite slow! Breakfast options were vast. Would definitely stay here again.

Perfect Stay!
Good service, friendly staff, great location. Been staying at the same hotel for all my trips to Sri Lanka, Royal Thai is the best restaurant i have been to for Thai food in Sri Lanka. Must try.
Quite a large room. Very clean and comfortable bed. Free breakfast buffet had many choices. Very large swimming pool, steam room and sauna made it a perfect stay.
This is a fancy place, the lobby reminded me of a cruise ship. There was even live music! The swimming pool is large and pristine, and you can watch a variety of birds in the river while you soak in the pool. The staff is friendly and accommodating, the facilities are first class and the dinner buffet is amazing.
This hotel is very conveniently located. A great place to stay whilst visiting colombo. There is a wide variety of sumptuous food in the breakfast buffet. There are also 4 other restaurants to choose from.

We had a lovely stay. Breakfast was good and the staff were very helpful. The rooms could do with updating by however and the surrounding area was busy
Stayed at The Cinammon Lakesude for 14 nights and couldn’t fault a single moment of it.
Everything was perfect and the staff were amazing and so genuine in trying to accommodate your needs.

Average Rating.
This is a decent hotel but not excellent I would say. Looks old and needs lot of attention to finer aspects of the rooms and building. Location is certainly very good if you have a lake view room. Pool is also good and large. Food is average with very less sitting space as compared to the room accommodation ( I had my B/F standing all the time ). I had to call for proper toilet kits all the time... Over all not very bad but not very good as well... to stay if you get a good price deal.
Thank you for the amazing opportunity and nice hotel stay! Every staff was so kind to me and sometimes they told me about this city, Colombo. I wanna go to Sri Lanka and stay there again!
This is a large and busy hotel, quite convenient to the train station, and situated on one of Colombo's lovely lakes. It felt like a Vegas property, absent the casinos. My room was okay -- reasonably comfortable and business like. The big attraction are the numerous restaurants, shops and entertainment options. Plus, a pool that is open to 9 p.m. My favorite thing was swimming in the huge, almost entirely empty pool, under the night sky, with the giant Lotus Flower Tower all lit up overhead. I also had a great dinner at the buffet restaurant. I only stayed a night between arrival from a train in the late afternoon until an early morning flight the next day. This was a solid choice for that.
Beautiful hôtel. A bit expansive but it's a five stars so it deserve it. The personnel iscbrillant and very kind. You are considered ad a number. From the pool bar. House-keeping, room service. Reception, and swimming pool bar is very nice. They look all the time.for your comfort. The nail"s istitut are very prossionnal. I will recommmand this hotel to anyone who wants to have beautiful vacations!
