Hotel is a former 100-year old mansion that has been beautifully and sensitively transformed into a boutique hotel. Each of the 8 rooms is individually decorated with the upstairs rooms being especially spacious. Room decor is reflective of the colonial era (teak canopy beds, secretaries, decorative antiques) with fully modern amenities (lovely bathroom, A/C, satellite TV). We had dinner and breakfast at the property. Both were delicious with spice levels matching guest preference. While...

Absolutely incredible hotel. I wish I had stayed longer. I could stay here a week happily. My room was beautiful and peaceful. I felt like I was living in another time. Darshana was wonderfully helpful. 10/10 recommend.

One of the best hotels that my family and I have stayed in. We have used a lot of different hotels throughout the world and Shangri La Colombo ranks one of the best we have stayed in. Even with all the difficulties SL is in now, the hotel staff saw to our comfort without any complaints. I salute the staff and management for their gracious hospitality. Thank you!

The quality and comfort of the rooms is great. The staff is great. It is not a busy, active party hotel. It is a very comfortable quiet hotel with excellent staff and service. Amila, the manager demonstrated exceptional service as I was leaving the hotel.

Friendly staff ... good location ... does not surprise me that this hotel has hosted kings and queens during the last 150 years. I got good service from Shayna at the restaurant there ... nice breakfast buffet.

We were there for 4 nights. The staff made it one of the most memorable stays we had anywhere in the world (we both travel a lot globally for both pleasure and business). They were warm, friendly and showed a genuine interest in making us feel welcomed. We were on vacation, but we had packed lots of things into our schedule. Hotel staff was finding ways to help us enjoy our visit and somehow do everything we wanted to do. Special kudos to Kaveen (for greeting us every morning with a smile and...

Magical hotel in the best area of Sri Lanka. Unlike other high end hotels, you really feel like part of the Cinnamon community here. I had wonderful days just staying in the hotel and getting work done in the magnificent lobby while drinking coffee and eating delicious pastries . The restaurants are all top notch and the service was amazing. Looking forward to another stay soon . It's like a hub for the Sri Lankan cultural elite. The decor also stands apart from other five star hotels - truly...

My family and I recently enjoyed a one-day stay at the Hotel Mandarina, and it was truly a five-star experience. I have nothing but positive things to say about our time there. The hotel's location was excellent, making it easy for us to get in and out of the city. We were impressed by the delicious breakfast buffet and prompt room service. I would like to give a special shout-out to the Assistant Food and Beverage Manager, Shafffe, who provided us with personalized service and made our stay...

We stayed at this hotel for 2 nights. The location is excellent. We found everything in the hotel perfect: clean, big size room, great service and amenities. Overall, a great place to stay, away from noise and there’s a french bakery a block away that has delicious coffee and croissants.

Our favorite hotel in Sri Lanka, and in the world now. We stayed twice during our stay in Sri Lanka, for a total of 4 nights. By the time we came back the second time, we felt as we were coming home. The staff are all beyond kind and genuine, from the managers and the front desk to the bellhops and servers, everyone had genuine smiles and conversation.

Absolutely loved staying here although just brief! I landed at 11pm and needed a room for a night before meeting family for a tour. The hotel was in a great location with plenty of restaurants and a grocery store within walking distance. Galle Face Green and the shopping mall just a quick tuktuk ride north. The room, lobby, pool and bathroom were great! The desk staff were absolutely gorgeous and helpful and so lovely - it was honestly the warmest welcome to Sri Lanka and I couldn't have asked...

Meet fellow travelers who were friendly and helpful. Staff was helpful and nice. Rooms are clean and ac was cold. Great place to stay if you plan on touring Colombo and Sri Lanka. They also let me keep my luggage in storage when I arrived early and when I had to check out but had a later timeline for my train departure.
