My stay at the Sheraton Colombo was nothing short of spectacular. I was greeted with warm hospitality and a level of professionalism that truly sets this hotel apart. The staff went above and beyond to ensure every detail was perfect, making me feel both welcomed and valued throughout my visit. The rooms are spacious, elegantly designed, and impeccably clean, offering breathtaking views of the city and ocean. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and the amenities provided were top-notch, ensuring a luxurious and restful stay. The facilities are outstanding. Everything is maintained to the highest standard, creating an atmosphere of calm and sophistication. Sheraton Colombo is a true gem in the heart of the city. Whether you're traveling for business or leisure, I cannot recommend this hotel enough. I look forward to returning for another unforgettable experience!

We booked very late notice due to flight delay and getting into Colombo late. He cooked us traditional Sri Lankan food and it was absolutely superb! He was kind and very accommodating. A very pleasant stay. Would highly recommend. He also organised a well priced taxi to Sigiriya in the morning

The villa was excellent—clean, spacious, and peaceful. Maorika ma'am was incredibly kind and made sure we felt at home. She also treated us to an amazing Sri Lankan dinner. The Wi-Fi connection was reliable too.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel in Colombo. The rooftop is definitely a highlight – the city view at night is absolutely stunning and perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring. Breakfast was fresh and tasty, and I really enjoyed the authentic Sri Lankan dinner they served. The location couldn’t be better: it’s just behind the beautiful Gangaramaya Temple and within walking distance to many of Colombo’s main attractions like Galle Face Green, Viharamahadevi Park, and the Colombo Museum. They also offer a very convenient airport transfer service, which made my arrival and departure stress-free. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Colombo!

A beautiful apartment, tastefully furnished, in the heart of Colombo, perfectly located to explore the city. Shopping, restaurants and bars are in walking distance as well as a beautiful park where you can go for a early morning stroll. We loved the balcony from which you can even see the famous Lotus Tower. Quiet neighborhood.

Great spot! Lovely building in a good location (walking distance to a supermarket and a good base to explore Colombo by foot or cheap tuktuk). Very clean room and ensuite bathroom. Lovely rooftop with nice view. Use of the washing machine, kettle, fridge. Our host was welcoming, delightfully kind and so very helpful. You get a lot for a small price at this place. Highly recommended!

Lovely modern hotel overlooking the sea. Pool on the 9th floor small but very nice and cold beers went down well. Rooms were spacious, comfortable, well equipped, very clean and great bathroom. We loved the location - few cheap and cheerful street food/chea fun eating places and shops nearby and the lovely Barefoot cafe and shop round the corner. But very easy access to the centre of the city, Galle Face, markets, train station via tuk tuk for very little money.
