"On a adoré notre séjour à Anam Hôtel ! On y a passé 10 jours. On a pu se reposer. L’hôtel se situe à quelques mètres de la plage, où on peut y voir des magnifiques coucher de soleil le soir. Le personnel de l’hôtel est juste super super gentil. Il y a une cuisine que l’on peut utiliser, mais aussi une machine à laver dont on peut se servir. Allez-y les yeux fermés, vous ne regretterez rien."

"The pictures are not a true reflection of this property. It has the potential to be a very lovely hotel but it is run down and falling apart. The rooms were dirty especially the bathroom. There wasn't a mosquito net for the bed. Service for breakfast was very slow. The pool looks like it needs a good clean. I couldn't even get into it. "

"I've paid online for a separate room. Once I arrived I noticed that there is no available room for me. As alternative they bring me to the other guesthouse far away from this place. The new place had broken wi-fi, there was no any infrastructure near the guesthouse. The back way I've been forced to be paid by myself."

"I showed up and they told me I hadn’t booked. I showed them my hotels.com confirmation email and receipt. They said they never received the payment even though I had the receipt. They then made me pay for a full room which ended up costing more than what the room I booked online was. I also had bed bugs bite my legs during the stay. "

Amari Colombo Sri Lanka

Amari Colombo Sri Lanka

10/10 Excellent
"I had an amazing stay at Amari Sri Lanka and couldn't have been happier with my experience. The hotel is in a fantastic location with breathtaking views from the room, making every morning and evening truly special. A special thank you to Vinula, who was incredibly helpful in arranging my rooms and ensuring everything was perfectly organized for my meeting. Their professionalism and attention to detail made my stay completely stress-free. The entire staff were warm, friendly, and always willing to help with a smile. Their excellent service really stood out and made me feel welcome throughout my stay. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed my time at Amari Sri Lanka and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable stay, outstanding service, and beautiful surroundings. I look forward to returning in the future!"
