10/10 Excellent

"My family and I had a great time staying at Taj. Staff were friendly and buffet was good as well."

Pullman Colombo City Centre

8/10 Good

"Got upgraded to a suit, that was super nice , very India and vegetarian friendly breakfast buffet - has Jain food as well - dosa, sambar, dhokla, poha etc . The bathtub inside the room with a view was great. Loved the blue tooth speaker in the room as well to enjoy some music. Room was largely clean, guest services are a hit or a miss , sometimes on time sometimes delayed. Laundry takes a day, If given in the night they give it back next day same time. Reception also helps with dollar exchange to Lankan rupees. The hotel also has an in house Indian restaurant. The jacuzzi is in an odd place but the infinity pool is in a nice place with a view"
