The location is good. You can reach most of the places by tuk-tuk or taxi. I used PickMe app which was convenient. Breakfast was average. Ok for a short stay.

Spacious room with good working space. The buffet breakfast is good, but would have been even better if they offered egg hoppers. For a vegetarian the dinner menu is limited if you stay more than 4 nights, but otherwise fine and the staff are attentive. The rooftop pool and bar area is a bonus and one of the reasons to go back. The gym is pretty good and attended. I also like the location - whilst lots of Colombo's best hotels are located on or near Galle Face, this hotel is in the best residential area in Colombo, walking distance from Colombo Town Hall, Viharamahadevi Park, Nelum Pokuna Theatre, and the restaurants of Park Street Mews.

The worst part of the hotel is the fact that we're made to wait at the check-in reception desk for full prepayment of the room rental and in local currency and offered the worst currency conversion rate in Colombo, worse than that at the airport. On checking in, we had to ask repeatedly for the toiletries. The keys started malfunctioning the very next day.
The best part is the location and cleanliness. The staff behaviour was not up to the mark but acceptable

Two days was plenty in Colombo to explore the city.
Two days was plenty in Colombo to explore the city. Use the pick me app to get value for money with the tuk tuks as they do try to over charge by a lot. Thoroughly recommend Pettah Market, just to experience the bustle and noise of a true, working market and for the street food. It is easy to walk around - and near to there, the Old Town Hall is a lovely building and the iconic mosque has two sides to view. The Lotus Tower is worth going up for extraordinary views of the city and don't miss out on the independence memorial! The Gangaramaya Temple is amazing and well worth stopping for, but the less visited Seema Malaja temple, just around the corner, jutting out onto the lake is very peaceful. Try Seed cafe or Milk and Honey cafe for great juices and coffee.

It helps if you know what you’re looking for definitely.

I came specifically for the Colombo-Ella train ride, the mountains and the local culture and food…
The train ride n the mountains was absolutely worth it. And the locals were sweet. However, I was quite disappointed by food. Everywhere you go, there’s fried rice! Fried rice plus this, fried rice plus eggs, fried rice and that… You had to particularly ask for Sri Lankan food or the local curry. I went to a somewhat upmarket restaurant in Ella, ordered a simple vegetable and meat curry. It came out fried rice topped with two fried eggs :(

Improvements - in the restaurant area, coffee and tea making facilities to be a bit more secure and spacious. To cater more for western tastes as opposed to locals - ie more cereals and yogurts. At time a bit too tight for numbers.
Pay more attention to health and safety around the tea/coffee area. Milk gets very hot, better signs to indicate this.
When floors are being mopped, to use wet floor sign so people are aware.

The De Saram House is a beautiful architectural gem in the heart of a leafy neighborhood in central Colombo. I stay here whenever I am in town as it is comfortable with restrained elegance and always affable, kind and generous staff. Why stay in a bland hotel when you can be in a home of architectural significance and feel like you can escape from it all?! Strongly recommended not only for architects and design inclined but for those seeking a different kind of experience from all the hotels that are now pervasive in this fast changing city.
The Hotelmanager was one of the nicest and best Hosts we had after 1,5 Year of traveling. He picked us up at the airport in the middle of night. After asking, where we can find some food at this time, we went together to a restaurant and had very interesting conversations. He was the perfect combination of a friend and a very professional hotelmanager.
The Location of the Hotel was very good, also the food!
We will definitely come back, when we go to Colombo.
This hotel felt like an oasis of calm. It was the best hotel we stayed in during our stay in Sri Lanka. The room was small but spotlessly clean, and the bathroom was fab.
There were no windows, but this added to the peace, stopped the mosquitos & made it cooler.
There was a safe and somewhere to hang clothes!
Very close to restaurants and bars.
The staff were happy to store our luggage as we arrived too early to check in.
We definitely recommend this hotel.
Great location on a main street in Colombo. Walking distance to Galle Face and Old Town (20-25 minutes). Great restaurants, bar, and cafe can be found in the hotel and lots of choices for an extended stay. Also connected to a mall that has a grocery store/pharmacy if you need to pick up anything on your stay. ATMs also available on site in the mall. Very convenient! Breakfast options are plentiful and very good.
We chose this hotel for the last night of our stay as, generally, we found the hotel standards in Sri Lanka quite poor, and wanted somewhere nice. The hotel is in a good location. It is situated in a shopping mall featuring luxury brand shops and eateries. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The gym and swimming pool are nice. The bathrooms are nice and we had a good view of the sea from our room.
What a wonderful oasis of calm and old fashioned grandeur in a beautiful location. We loved everything about this excellent hotel. The staff were warm and welcoming, with every possible need anticipated in advance. The Sri Lankan breakfasts and an incredible Thali for diner remain the best food we have had so far in Sri Lanka. We look forward to a return visit, hopefully in the not too distant future!
Modern hotel, good size room, comfy bed. Ac, hot water, as expected. Hotel has a generator - which is huge, as hot as it is in Colombo and in light of the ongoing power cuts. There is an electronic kettle and a fridge as well.
The hotel is located within a walking distance of Colombo Fort, but you can also get a tuktuk.
The personnel is very kind and helpful.
This place is a very good choice for a stay in Colombo.
The villa is a very qiet place, you´ll meet a very friendly team and the rooms are nice, modern with a traditional touch. Good Wifi!
Try the Sri Lankan breakfast!
Best places for sunset: Mount Lavinia Beach or Galle Face Hotel.
We will definitely come back next time.
The room and bed was comfortable and it had a nice balcony view. There were areas apart from the room where you could hangout for coffee and tea and a nice chat. The staff were nice to chat with. The hotel location is at the center where most tourist attractions are in Colombo and near to lot of shops, restaurants, cafes.
One of my favourite hotels during my recent travels to Sri Lanka, Cinnamon Red is right in the middle of the city making it possible to explore Colombo’s attractions by foot. To top it, it stands tall on its own, offering 360 degree unobstructed stunning views of the city—the views at night are especially gorgeous!
The property was extremely well maintained and clean! The best bathroom in Sri Lanka where we had been on a 14 day tour. this was our last hotel and we stayed and paid an extra night via booking.com. We were able to organise a late checkout for a very reasonable extra charge. The staff were excellent.
Most probably the best hotel I have ever been to! Great accommodation, wonderful interior and a welcoming atmosphere all over the place. The infinity pool was just awesome to spend the first day after a long flight to Sri Lanka. Absolutely recommended by me and my partner. Will come back for sure!
The hotel is beautiful with gorgeous décoration The staff is so kind, always smiling and very helpful.! The pool area is lovely and relaxing.
The breakfast is very good with fresh fruits and juice....
If we come back to Colombo, there is no other place to stay!
The hotel is very close to the Colombo Fort station and there are many restaurants and cafès in the neighborhood. People are very kind and ready to help, especially Faraz at the reception will try to accomodate all your requests, always with a smile.
This hotel is a must stay in your Colombo trip. Super attentive professional staff, amazing Infinity pool, tasty breakfast, and free of charge city tour where you can see the major attractions of the town without paying any entrance fees.
Best hotel during my trip in Sri Lanka. Perfect for start and end of journey. Location is ideal to walk around of most of the sights of Colombo. Newly renovated, nice design, room is spacious, everything works and of quality
A truly grand hotel. Beautifully designed, and is at one of the best locations in Colombo. Amazing breakfast. Having the connected mall is a big plus. Very friendly staff. Horizon lounge is beautiful with great views.
Amazing hotel, the rooms are great, breakfast have wide variety and staff is very helpful.
The rooftop pool is the best in colombo! Super clean and you can sip tasty cocktails any time of the day.
Highly recommended
I like most everything about this hotel - really comfortable beds, well appointed rooms, great views, the pool and the restaurant. An oasis in the middle of Colombo!
