Having stayed at this hotel many times we are always overwhelmed by the welcome and efficiency of all staff starting with the welcome from the Concierge team to Mr Manesh the General Manager. Throughout the stay this team are constantly helpful. Although the hotel is currently undergoing refurbishment the stay was not affected by this in any way. The excellent food and service of staff in the Executive Lounge and the lovely view of the lake with fish and ducks from there make this a place to go to. We are already looking forward to the next visit.

As a seasoned business traveler with nearly 3000 nights spent in hotels worldwide, my standards are undoubtedly high. Spending four days a week away from home has made me somewhat spoiled when it comes to hotel experiences. Recently, I had the pleasure of booking a stay at the Colombo Hilton for my in-laws, who were visiting Sri Lanka. With their age in mind and considering this might be their final trip to the country, I was determined to ensure their stay was both memorable and stress-free. To say that Colombo Hilton exceeded my expectations would be an understatement. From the moment my in-laws checked in, Mr. Manesh and his team went above and beyond, treating them as if they were their own family. Every aspect of their stay, from the elegant decor to the delectable cuisine, exemplified the renowned hospitality for which Sri Lankans are known. The attention to detail and genuine care displayed by the staff truly made their experience unforgettable. I would like to send my sincere thank you to the entire team, especially Mr. Manesh, going that extra mile to make our stay a memorable stay. Furthermore, we would also like to extend our special thank you to Paul from the Sunset blue bar - your friendliness and fun loving attitude certainly made my father very happy. I hope to come again to Sri Lanka before the end of the year, and will definitely be staying a few nights at the Hilton.

After a bad experience with the Hilton in Malaga we didn’t book a room with the chain but in Colombo we really enjoy it . Very good location, room, service, food, atmosphere, pool, garden and specially the life music twice a week and the delicious cocktails. We know now another place for repeat when we will come back to Sri Lanka!

Upon arrival, you are greeted by a great reception. Restaurants look good as well. Once you get in your room, it is a bit of a disillusion. They obviously could do with a bit of refurbishment. They actually look like cheap American hotel chain. Also, the A/C will leave a smell in your clothing for the next days... Fitness is good. Very friendly and smiling staff.

Hilton Colombo never disappoints; it has been nearly four years since I last stayed here and was like coming back home. Felt very valued and privileged that the staff remembered me by name. The place is looking fantastic, new restaurants and room refurbishments are well underway. Diamond status benefits were excellent here with lots of bottled water and executive lounge access. Executive lounge offerings were fantastic, and the Hilton breakfast is outstanding. Newly refurbished rooms were also excellent, sort of missed the nostalgia of the old rooms. Looking forward to the next stay already.

Absolutely amazing atmosphere,was trying to find a place not too noisy and with a decent crowd where we could have some quality food and enjoy some good live music . sunset blu is definitely a must visit . Aya elmissi definitely made the experience 10x better with her kind professionalism was very attentive and not too intrusive with every 5 minute check backs . Was waiting for some friends by myself and she kept me good company and explained the menu very clearly which made my ordering process go smooth and also mush mention she suggested a few recommendations which were brilliant! Overall the whole staff was very nice and the chicken sambal is a must try with its unique native flavor!
