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.

One morning Was Not water at all
The location Not the best far from the beach
And the populaire Ministerial old City
The location was very good as it was surrounded with other hotels, restaurants, pubs and entertainment. There was easy access to all the areas in Colombo city like visiting Lotus tower, One Galle Mall, beach area, Colombo Fort, all within the reach of 30 mins. Easy access with , cars, tuk-tuk, etc. The hotel staff were very polite and friendly. The room was very clean and what we liked the most was the room and bathroom size. Both were huge and very spacious. View from the hotel was very good of the city.
Fantástic stay here, location is absolutely perfect - right on the beach and well positioned to see and do everything you would want to do in Hikkaduwa. Airport transfers were handled perfectly, and staff are really nice guys, and were extremely accomodating with any requests I had.
Rooms were large, clean, comfortable and very quiet at night. The hotel bar/dining area is right on the sea, with lovely views morning and night. I totally recommend this hotel for your stay! Thanks again Indika!
A perfect stay! We stayed here twice and i recommend it as your go-to stay in Colombo. Great location, clean, super kind and professional staff - the best staff we had in Sri Lanka.
Awesome breakfast, also the best egg hoppers we had in over a month of intense travel: crispy on top, soft yet not too thick and well cooked at the bottom... Pure delight!
The rooftop pool is clean and they also had a nice live music solo gig on one of the evenings.
Provided a great comfy crib for our baby too.
The staff are the highlight of this hotel. They will bend over backwards for you and do the best they can to provide you with the best service.
There is an aircon and fan in the room, kettle and coffee tea and sugar plus a small refrigerator.
Last reviews said the neighboured was sketchy, but it’s really not. It’s a typical Sri Lanka street.
The vendors and people in the area are nice, try to make an effort to smile and talk to them, they are lovely.
the hotel is centrally located in Colombo there is a small mall attached with a keells grocery and Delma tea, not to forget that the hotel has 10 restaurants of various cuisine so you are spoilt for choices really. the staff is very attentive from the valet to concierge to reception to even housekeeping and ground staff. even though it was a business trip for me, I highly recommend this place before you move ahead with your journey of touring Colombo.
The apartment was absolutely stunning as shown in the pictures. I could have lived in it and The Fab bakery provides delicious food all day. Nuwan was a great host and accessible via WhatsApp. He showed us around, stored our luggage and found us a tuktuk. The hotel is surrounded by shops, banks and restaurants which are useful when you arrive in Sri Lanka. The Fort and centre of Colombo are just 10 mins away by tuktuk.
The room service menu food is EXCEPTIONAL and is very very very tasty and extremely reasonable. Better than a 5 star hotel’s room service food!! 👍 (as I have being to many, in Sri Lanka and abroad)
The location, the staff and all amenities were EXCELLENT. It was such a comfortable stay.
The room was exceptionally sound proof and was very very clean and consisted of all the required amenities.
The hotel has attractive decor and is in a great location in Colombo. The infinity pool on the 27th floor is definitely something special. The bathroom was huge and really liked the Japanese toilets. Breakfast buffet had a good continental breakfast spread as well as Sri Lankan options to try which were delicious. Cocktails at the roof terrace were great too.
Breakfast was excellent, much better than the last time I stayed at this hotel. The room was quiet and felt like I was surrounded by nature. The host was pleasant and helpful in organizing transportation and meals. I always look forward to staying here when I'm in Colombo.
It felt like a respite in the middle of a bustling city!
Very confortable roow with the best shower in Sri Lanka. Kettle, fridge and amazingly comfy bed. Lovely views from the panaramic room. Walking distance to Colombo City Centre, Food city, a small national park and hospital corner. Staff were fantastic especially the staff at the roof top bar and pool.
I was at Colombo just to spend the night after the flight and start our trip early in the morning. we needed something close to MoC as we planned to have dinner there. The hotel is 2 mins walk to MoC and other restaurants options at the dutch hospital.
over all it was clean. Wifi was working fine.
Hilton Colombo provided a good experience. The breakfast buffet was good and included both Sri Lankan delicacies and English breakfast items. The location of the hotel is very good and most places inside Colombo are accessible through a robust bus transport system.
We liked this hotel so much! By far our best stay in Sri Lanka (or even anywhere else, for that matter). Very clean, crisp bed linen, perfect bathroom, nice no-nonsense interiors, and oh, such a friendly staff! we will definitely come back.
The hotel is brand new- everything is clean. Location is very good. The rooms have big glass windows and the reception area at 10th floor is all with glass where you can have an aerial view of Colombo and the beautiful Indian Ocean.
The hotel looked and felt like a 4 star hotel with a little old Sri Lanka charm. The highlight was Razik, Razik was a room attendant with a real focus on people, making people happy and getting people what they need.
The hotel is located in a central area.
It is good for short stay like we did after we reached in Colombo then to run away from there.
Staff is kind, like everywhere in Sri Lanka.
This hotel probably has one of the best locations in Colombo - It is right on the beachfront. It has an old colonial charm to it. Would highly recommend staying here.
