What guests think

At Marino Beach Colombo, travellers praise the spectacular rooftop infinity pool and garden, spacious modern rooms with ocean views, and consistently friendly service, while noting occasional construction noise next door and some front desk inflexibility around check‑in, checkout and extras.

Breakfast variety and on‑site dining draw strong approval, though Wi‑Fi can be slow in places. Location is convenient for the waterfront and Marino Mall, with a free shuttle to a separate beach lounge. Expect a modern, good‑value city resort with standout leisure facilities and generally warm hospitality.

Had stayes here 2 years ago and loved it as a short stay before we travelled onward. This time sadly there was extensive building works taking place. An extremely large complex/hotel being built next door which rendered any relaxing time by the pool none existant, a real shame. No warning prior to arriving and no reduction in rates

Fint hotell, spesielt gjelder det bassengområdet og treningsrom. Hotellets ansatte er utmerket, hjelpsomme, vennlige og profesjonelle. Hotellets frokost og middagsbuffet er også svært bra. Hotellet bygger et nytt bygg like ved. Det er mye bråk fra denne aktiviteten. Dette ødelegger noe av helhetsinntrykket.

We also made good use of the 50 mtr infinity pool and the gym was well maintained, clean and had plenty of equipment. Staff were exceptional, great service. We will be back, thank you.

Wonderful! Very clean and comfortable. Amazing rooftop pool with hot jacuzzi and steam rooms. The temperature of steam could be hotter though. Amenities in the room are terrific. I have never been anywhere else where all the free bottles of drinking water, soft drinks and snack that I would want are generously and freely provided. Breakfast buffet is delicious with wide choices. Staff is super friendly.

Hi standard of service, room cleanliness etc. The first room I was given looked into a building site and was therefore noisy. I asked to move and was given a new room on the other side of the hotel that was much quieter. Overall, a great experience at a reasonable price. Great value for money

The whole experience was wonderful from being collected at the airport and walking in the front door. Very welcoming, great staff and service, room was beautifully done, rooftop areas were brilliant and restaurants and food all very high standards. Only downsides I can think were that there was no private changing spaces in ladies poolside facilities and the live music and entertainment going on at weekends was too loud and went on until 1am so I had a couple of nights where I struggled to sleep. Apart from that, wonderful stay and would recommend.

Staff and friendly buy slightly impersonal: maybe that’s a big city Colombo thing…location is great right on the water, with most attractions max 10 min away by tuk tuk. Would recommend for a couple of days in the city.

Service

Service is widely praised as friendly, attentive and professional across departments, with efficient check in and thoughtful touches like a complimentary city tour. However, a recurring theme is occasional front desk rudeness or rigidity (for early/late checkout fees) and sporadically slow responses.

I have stayed here multiple timrs. For the price, it is a very good place to stay. It is clean, location is good, food is excellent. But it is run as a bureaucratic organization. Staff will not go out of their way to do anything extra without an additional payment. Early check in, there is a payment. Late check out, there is a payment. Photographs there is a payment. Unless there is more flexibility and interest in customer welfare, this hotel will never become one of the best. This feature distinguishes the middle rated hotels from the best.

Enjoyed my stay at Marino Beach. It was an oasis from a very hectic Colombo. The pool was excellent and big enough not to feel crowded, even when there were many people there. Ocean views were great plus loved the overall aesthetic of the pool with the greenery and the rooftop garden. The buffet breakfast was good with lots of variety. Offering a complementary city tour for guests was a great touch + complementary mini bar too. Only thing which was odd was the request to put down a $30 deposit per day. For people paying with card, this isn’t necessary and also just complicates things when checking out. Last thing to note is that there is a big construction site next door. Rooms are pretty well sound proofed as the noise didn’t bother me in my room.

The hotel has a lot worthy of five stars: the rooftop infinity pool, the private beach, spa, and wonderful cleaning, valet and poolside staff. Unfortunately, the front desk reception and some of the wait staff in the restaurants act are rude, unhelpful or happy to keep you waiting. At times, they act like guests are nothing more than an annoyance to them. Another issue is that their room categories don’t match what is online. I’ve stayed here 3 times in the last 3 years and 2 of those times they tried to put in a lower class room upon arrival. It’s hard to know the real cause of this issue but the front desk staff certainly don’t help make it better.

Convenient waterfront setting attached to Marino Mall with easy access to sights by tuk tuk. The shore by the hotel is not ideal for swimming, but a free shuttle runs to a separate beach lounge; some mention nearby construction and a less appealing immediate area.

The hotel is in a perfect location near everything important like shops, nightclubs, bars etc, food in the hotel was nice but they need to stay true to the Sri Lankan culture and always have Sri Lankan food available at the buffet. Tea in Sri Lanka is world class so should be available in all the hotels across Sri Lanka. Attention to detail is important and Sri Lanka is well known for this, but this standard has dropped a little and needs addressing. Pool was wonderful and warm, bars and restaurants around the pool was good, turnstiles around the pool area were a little annoying and somewhat unnecessary. All in on the hotel is lovely and I will definitely stay there again

The hotel is clean. The pool is great. The staff are very caring and attentive. The food in the evening buffet was excellent. On the downside, there is a big buidling site next door which can be quite noisy and obtrussive. Also, despite the name, the private beach is a 15 minute drive away. Hotel is fine for a short (e.g. first night / last night) holiday stay, or short business trip.

The hotel was great, we especially loved the roof-top with the pool, jacuzzis, bars and gym. It felt like an oasis in the middle of the big city. The staff was very friendly and accommodating, and the breakfast buffet was incredible. The only downside is the area; even though the hotel is by the sea, there's a lot of traffic and not appealing to take a walk.

This is nice property with upgraded room and bathroom. The infinity pool is amazing. Location is great. Great choice of food at the breakfast buffet. Live station was good. Already cooked meals were ok. Need to improve the taste a little. Working crew can add little bit more character by smiling and making the morning better for the visitors. Staff may need little more training to handle the visitors.

I recently stayed at Marino beach hotel and it was an incredible experience. From the moment we arrived, the staff was warm and welcoming, ensuring a smooth check-in process. Their hospitality was outstanding, making our stay truly enjoyable. The only drawback was the lack of vegetarian food options. While the restaurants served a variety of gourmet dishes, vegetarian choices were very limited. Overall, if you’re not a vegetarian, this hotel is flawless. For vegetarians, I’d recommend checking meal options in advance. With a slight improvement in their menu, Marino beach could easily be one of the best places to stay.
