Top Elphinstone Theatre Hotel Reviews

Galle Face Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This is an exceptional property and a very grand and historical place to stay in Colombo. We had a wonderful time here and it was always a joy to return to the comfort of the hotel. The facilities are extensive and the location by the Indian Ocean is superb. The extensive public areas and dining options are very good reasons to spend a lot of time here. Thoroughly recommended to all visitors to Colombo who want to experience a unique heritage hotel"

Cinnamon Lakeside Colombo

10/10 Excellent

"Był to najlepszy hotel, w którym spaliśmy na Sri Lance. Ma bardzo dobrą relację ceny do jakości, obsługa jest przemiła, pokoje przestronne, a jedzenie jest wybitne, zdecydowanie polecam 👌"

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."

Granbell Hotel Colombo

10/10 Excellent

"Fantastic"
