Top Gangaramaya Temple Hotel Reviews

Cinnamon Life at City of Dreams

10/10 Excellent

"Stay was incredible. Only at times the room was a bit hot but could be the big glass windows. Room extremely clean and hotel more than what pictures show."

Cinnamon Red Colombo

10/10 Excellent

"Very clean and modern hotel, friendly staff, and a nice rooftop bar and pool. I was impressed."

Galle Face Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"I was recommended to stay here and I'm very glad that I did. The hotel dates from the colonial era, and since then had been the choice of many dignitaries, sports and movie stars, yet it is still priced well within reach of a Western salary. The food is excellent (I sampled only the dinner and breakfast buffets). The staff are particularly attentive - Ivoni, the customer relations manager, gets special mention because she went above and beyond to ensure that my stay was as good as it could be."

Marino Beach Colombo

10/10 Excellent

"We ended 12 days in Sri Lanka here and it was easily the best-equipped hotel of the whole trip. The 53-metre rooftop infinity pool on the tenth floor is the standout: ocean on one side, city skyline on the other, and spectacular sunsets over the sea. Come up in the late afternoon. The room was excellent — very comfortable king bed, a bathroom with both shower and bathtub, and a huge TV. Everything felt new and well maintained, and despite the city-centre setting on Marine Drive, noise was not a problem. Several restaurants and bars on site meant plenty of choice without leaving the building, and the food was good across the board. Very good value too for this standard of hotel. A perfect last stop before flying home, and it would work just as well at the start of a trip."

Cinnamon Grand Colombo

10/10 Excellent

"Great city centre hotel"

Shangri-La Colombo

10/10 Excellent

"Absolutely flawless, the staff is the most helpful and will make you feel at home as soon as you arrive. The breakfast was a life altering experience."

Granbell Hotel Colombo

10/10 Excellent

"We returned to this hotel because we liked it so much, and again loved the location and surroundings of it. The rooms are beautiful and comfortable. Due to the public holidays, it was very busy this time and the breakfast room seemed a bit overwhelmed, plus it was difficult to get a towel"

THE DEN 23

10/10 Excellent

"Bed is comfortable huge room, good customer service great working ac. Thanks"

Courtyard By Marriott Colombo

10/10 Excellent

"Clean & well maintained room & amenities. Only lobby is not very convenient to reach. Shopping or food option within same mall is good."
