Top Hotels Near Independence Square in Colombo from AU$44

"Galle Face Hotel is a grand old dame. Even though it is showing it's age, to us it was part of the charm of the place. we loved our three night stay there and wouldn't hesitate to stay again if we were in Colombo. The buffet breakfast was amazing, the swimming pool massive and the staff were incredibly pleasant. Great value for money."

"We had a pleasant experience at the property. The rooms were clean and well-maintained, and the staff were friendly and helpful. The location was convenient and close to key areas"

"After staying at the Marino Resort Hotel I decided to book Marina Hotel advertised as a 5 star. From start I was disappointed the staff were some how unwelcoming. This hotel I think caters for local people above all muslim as its dry bar which they dont highlight in the advertisement. I have to be first in saying hello at the counter as they just stay steering at me. I tryed the dinner buffet overal was ok but if I was Italian I will be crying when I tryed the creamy pasta it had so much chili. Overall the hotel is in great location, prices are good, is in good condition but it needs to work more in customer service. "

"Feels like they are after your money. The rooms were ready for early check-in, but they still required 50 USD for us to access the rooms prior to the agreed check-in time. "

"Exceptionally good. The rooms and entire hotel was clean, tidy and beautifully presented. The staff outstanding. We utilised in room dining and it was fantastic. Breakfast has a variety of options and however on both occasions almost everything was cold. This is an easy fix that i hope Can be addressed. Still tasty! The only negative experience is the smoking on the pool deck. We are spoiled with tough NO smoking rules in Australia so are not used to having smoke wafting over our table while eating. Perhaps a smoking zone somewhere else? Jet wing has set the bar high for the rest of our trip. Thank You."
