Breakfast, room upgrade and the views from the room.
Sri LankaEverything was excellent. I got a nice upgrade for the apartment room and it was amazingly beautiful. Service was on a level as usual.
RussiaDespite the challenges of managing an underutilized property through the pandemic, the staff of the Shangri-La never disappoint. It’s hard to find a property that delivers more consistently. And the staycation deal can’t be beat in Colombo.
United States of AmericaIt’s hard to fault the Shangri La, especially with the incredible value of the current ‘staycation offer’.
United KingdomFirendly staff , classy infrastructure and large rooms with picture perfect view
Sri LankaLocation of the hotel at the heart of Colombo City. The sea view was very nice.
CanadaWiFi speed 200M bps. Horizon club. Bee from the room. Friendly staff.
SwitzerlandEverything. The room was above spectacular. The service was exceptional, even prepared a birthday and honeymoon cake for us. The Lounge food is very very delicious. The location is perfect. Their mall is large and has many good brands. Their stores in the lobby are really great for last minute souvenirs. I would certainly recommend it for everyone!
Saudi Arabialovely hotel with very friendly and helpful staff good size room with plenty of water provided a number of on site restaurants to choose from and close access to a mall (with a food court)
United KingdomThe Shangri-La is the only place we stay in Colombo. We’ve tried Cinnamon Grand (terrible) and Cinnamon Red (3 star at best), Galle Face (tired), Hilton (bathrooms desperately need renovation). The Shangri-La is worth the premium price - staff, particularly Prem, a front office manager, is excellent and the rooms are well appointed.
