What guests think

At Hilton Colombo, guests consistently praise the warm, professional staff, central location and generous breakfast, while noting that some rooms feel dated and noise from traffic or trains can intrude, and check-in is occasionally slow or problematic.

Facilities are appreciated overall, especially the pool, gym and executive lounge, but the pool and gym sit across a bridge and the spa draws criticism, with parts of the property showing age or ongoing renovation. Most guests find rooms comfortable with good views, though a minority report maintenance issues. Expect a well-run city hotel with standout service and strong dining.

Hotel a staff very good. Arrived when prime. Minister there so security ++ particularly pleased that allowed early check I and late checkout. Buffet breakfast /dinner excellent. Good pool and gym. Roads facing the road will attract some noise so worth going for sea view. Area busy but within walking distance of beach, fort shopping malls if u can cross road. Near railway station and track comes close to swimming pool.

The property needs a serious upgrade to it's rooms. Very old and no modern conveniences in the room. The rooms equate to an American motel. Too bad for such a property. The service staff was excellent, and the F&B was great. The pool is inconvenient, in that you have to go a distance from the hotel crossing a bridge over a a busy road.

The Hilton Colombo is a beautiful hotel that is starting to show its age. It is currently undergoing a gradual renovation that will hopefully bring it back to its original glory. The hotel has one of the most impressive lobbies that I've ever seen. Curvy high ceilings that are enhanced with creative lighting greet you as you walk in. The rooms are nicely laid out with comfortable beds, separate seating areas and a convenient desk. It's situated on a major crossroad so street noise comes in early in the morning. I didn't mind it because the level was tolerable, but just in case you're sensitive to traffic noise, ask for a quiet room. There are several restaurants on the premises. It's not unusual that The Graze, the most popular eating space, is full on weekends. The pool and the gym/spa are across the road and can be reached by crossing a bridge without exiting to the street. A tunnel would have been preferable, especially when raining. The gym/spa is in desperate need of not just a renovation, but also an upgrade to bring it in line with modern standards. Last and not least, service is impeccable throughout.

One room attendent, Dinesh, was very talented and had a special ornament made from a towel every day after cleaning the room which made us feel wanted and welcoming

The Hilton Colombo has a stunning lobby and during our visit it was beautifully decorated for the Christmas holiday. The breakfast buffet is absolutely incredible and virtually every type of cuisine was covered. The pond by the lobby and restaurant had black swans. The location near the restaurant, Ministry of the Crab and some shopping was convenient. While the lobby is modern and stunning, our room was far from that. We were "upgraded" to a suite however unlike the photos which show relatively modern rooms, ours was very outdated. While in general it was comfortable and very spacious and the corner room view was fantastic, the noise from the street was disturbing. I woke up from the train whistly at 4:30am, just to have a mosque's morning call to prayet start then at 4:45 and then the constant morning traffic and honking of the tuk tuks and buses. We were even on the upper levels of the hotel and the noise made it difficult to sleep and had to use noise cancelling headphones. They were also conducting renovations in the rooms so even after being disturbed from sleep at 4:30am we had a hard time taking a much needed nap because of the nearby room renovations. I hope that the hotel replaces the windows with triple paned windows and sound proofing. We didn't use the pool as it was located a short walking distance from the main building and the afternoon heat was already too much to endure a walk in the sun to get there. I would most likely not stay at this hotel again

Not worth the money. Initially they gave me a room which has a issue with the toilet, then when complained to the reception they offered me a room in the refurbished area. However when discussing with the reception they said the customers like the broken toilets, which was absurd. 2nd room they offered had a leak from the AC at 5:30 am. Honestly not worth the money spent for this hotel and I will never go there again as the service was equally poor.

At check-in, the lady said that the room would be ready in a moment and asked us to sit down with our bags and wait, and she would bring us the keys. We waited for 2 hours, that is not a moment, then we would rather be told that from the beginning with the option to leave our bags so we could go out. After 2 hours, it was not even the lady that helped us. It was another man called Kumar who asked if we needed some help because he had seen us sitting there for so long. He fixed the keys directly and showed us to our room. A big thank you to Kumar who made us feel welcome and really cared! The room was wonderful and in the bar in the evening it was live music that we really enjoyed.
