This was my thrid trip to Colombo in 3 years, I have stayed at different properties on each of my stays. But now I think I have found my favourite in the Hilton. To begin with the location is very good, its central and walking distance from the business area. It has a great view of the Beach as well... More

Hitlon is supposed to be the grandest in Colombo but sadly did not match expectations. Rooms need renovation. A flat tv is a necessity according to me and the room did not have it. the food and staff service were comendable though. Indian food in Colombo was better than expected. Am not sure I would like to go back there... More

There were some negative reports of this hotel, but luckily, I found them to be untrue, at least for me. Colombo was my last stop after a tour of 6 days down south, it provided me comfort and style. Rooms are tastefully decorated, bathroom has great toiletries, very comfortable bed and the rooms are fairly quiet. I had the best... More

This second visit to the Hilton we read the reviews on Tripadvisor and were wondering why so many visitors complained about the style of the hotel. When visiting several of the other 5 star hotels in Colombo, like the Cinnamon Lakeside and the Cinnamon Grand, we could understand: this hotel has old-fashioned furniture and it breathes an old style grandeur,...

Professional, very helpful and friendly staff. Hotel is perfectly situated. Nice outdoor pool area. Close to the ocean, the train station and the fort quarter. Great panoramic windows in all guest rooms with few onto the ocean, lake or religious monument.

Great location, was able to go running on the beach in the morning and over look the beautiful gardens while having breakfast.

I had a short 1 night stay only, visiting Colombo for business purposes. The hotel is an excellent choice for this purpose. Due to the booking of an executive room, I had full access to the executive lounge, serving complementary breakfast, snacks and drinks throughout the day, which was perfect! Wireless LAN was available throughout the hotel as well. Overall... More
