Top Gem Museum Hotel Reviews

Mandarina Colombo

4/10 Poor

"Good clean room but awful customer service i arrived at 18:00 n i was made to wait 30min to check in, i was forced to sit with a random family while they checked me in. Waiting area was full. The service I received i wouldn't say its a 5* hotel. "

Amari Colombo Sri Lanka

10/10 Excellent

"Firstly the staff was fantastic, helpful friendly and polite. Food was exceptional both for breakfast, evening meal and afternoon tea. Watch the curries they are proper spicy compared to England. Roof top pool and bar great at sunset. Several different restaurants and all very good quality. The rooms are fantastic spacious and comfortable. They have thought of everything. If you are in Colombo it is worth a stay."

Galle Face Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"An excellent, excellent stay at the Galle Face Hotel. The staff were so kind and attentive, especially the entire guest relations team of Darshi, Viduni, Kithara, Dinushi, and Ivoni, who surprised us with a gorgeous setup for our anniversary, and Kenan who gave us a special hotel 'heritage tour.' We stayed 2 days, but the kids were so sad to leave. The breakfast was expansive and delicious, and the swimming pool is apparently the only hotel salt pool in Sri Lanka. The sunset viewing area is beautiful and just everything about this hotel was wonderful."

Granbell Hotel Colombo

10/10 Excellent

"Five stars without hesitation. It’s among the top hotels in Colombo. From the stunning view of the coffee and pastry shop to the workstations on the main floor and the pool on the rooftop, it's one of Colombo’s premier spots. One thing I noticed is that whenever there's a lineup at the front, the front office manager, Dananja, rushes in with a bunch of staff and clears it quickly. "
