Top Nawala Hotel Reviews
Radisson Hotel Colombo
10/10 Excellent
"Clean rooms. Good roof top bar. "
Galle Face Hotel
6/10 Okay
"This is a beautiful historical hotel with charming colonial architecture that really gives the place a unique character. The buffet breakfast was also excellent, with a wide variety of options and good quality overall.
However, the biggest drawback was the condition of the room. It was not well maintained, with a strong humidity smell that could be quite uncomfortable—especially for anyone with allergies. There were also signs of wear and tear, including broken furniture in the bathroom, which was disappointing.
It’s worth noting that other parts of the hotel appeared to be in much better condition, so it seems like the section we were assigned to may not reflect the overall standard. With some refurbishment and better upkeep, this hotel could truly return to its former shine."

Cinnamon Grand Colombo
10/10 Excellent
" Best combination of location, facilities, staff, great hotel overall. "
Mount Lavinia Hotel
2/10 Terrible
"This is far from a 4* hotel. The property is VERY run down and so many things are broken. It needs urgent repairs but nobody seems to be bothered. Staff at check in were not bothered at all, take it or leave it attitude. The doorman/porter was the only nice person. Check-in was at 2pm I arrived at 5pm waited for a hour and my room was still not ready. After 2 hours still nothing but nobody was bothered, so I went elsewhere. Overall worst hotel I’ve ever stayed in "
