"I have travelled the World extensively, and this property is possibly my favourite of any I have stayed in. It maintains old world colonial character and charm, with its very high standards, excellent staff, and wonderfully relaxed atmosphere. We stayed 8 years ago and have been planning g a return since. We are however devastated to hear that the hotel will close at the end of its current lease in August 2027, so this was likely to be our last ever visit."

Top Sri Lanka National Museum Hotel Reviews

Radisson Hotel Colombo

10/10 Excellent

"Very Nice place to stay, friendly staff. Good breakfast. I recommend this Radisson hotel if anyone likes to visit Colombo."

Shangri-La Colombo

10/10 Excellent

"If I had to fly 19 hours again from NYC to Colombo, Shangri-La would still be my first choice of hotel to stay at. Stayed for 3 nights and 4 days before travelling to the south coast and I honestly wish I could have stayed at Shangri-La for an extra night. The service was impeccable. The hotel is very clean and modern. The room had everything I needed for a comfortable stay and even the room service menu did not disappoint. The hotel is attached to Galle Face Mall making for convenient and easy access to shopping, restaurants and things to do. The hotel is both lively and yet intimate. Its a 10/10. The staff makes it 100/10."

Mandarina Colombo

8/10 Good

"This is a 4 star facility at best, 3.5 star is a firm rating. Good location in Colombo, helpful staff. hallway carpet needs to be cleaned, along with the bathroom shower and floor areas that was dirty with mold. Food availability was good, tried the breakfast buffet and it was acceptable. I don't think this facility sells alcohol beverages however, did not see a bar or alcohol listed in the menu. Linen and toiletries were good as well."

Pullman Colombo City Centre
