The hotel has a beautiful view of the ocean from the roof top pool as well as from many of the rooms.

Pricing was excellent. Location was close to National Museums, the beach, shopping districts, and more all within either 10 min walking distance to 5-10 min tuk-tuk ride. Cleanliness was overall very clean. However, in our first night at the smoking-allowed floor, we found two small termites on our bed. Rest of the night was completely fine and when we eventually moved to a non-smoking floor, we had no bug issues at all. Now the best highlights of Cinnamon Red were their service, hospitality, and facilities. With a small but quaint pool and deck on the top floor, we watched the beautiful Sri Lanka sunset. There's a decent gym there too. Breakfast was marvelous, that is if you don't mind having Sri Lankan style breakfast of spices, curries, and egg hoppers - ”western” options were plenty from poached eggs, bacons, sausages fruits, musseuli, yogurt, order-made omelets, waffles and pancakes, all accompanied by the famous Ceylon tea to die for. Lastly, I cannot praise enough the kindness, hospitality, and smiles from the staff. They were incredibly helpful and supportive to any and all of our requests. Do bring your own soap, shampoo, and conditioners and cameras because the way the hotel is designed, you get an unclustered, incredible view of Colombo from any room.

GGuest User2025.01.06
During the last few days in Colombo, I chose the Sheraton, which is conveniently located. The price is very good for the New Year's Day. The room is quite large, clean, relatively new facilities, and the service is also very good. You can get a tuk-tuk when you go out. It is very convenient to walk to Galle Face. There is a supermarket downstairs. The train station is next to the sea. In the morning, I got on the train station and waited for a while. The photo was over~
The breakfast is quite rich. There are many kinds of juice and bread. You can fry any meat you want. The only thing to avoid is that it is best to request no connecting rooms when checking in. We are in 1209 opposite the elevator. The neighbors who checked in at midnight can hear the talking, singing, and even whistling clearly. The sound insulation is a bit poor. People who sleep light must request it when checking in.

The room is clean and specious for 3 of us and the lacking only no toothbrush provided, only 2 towels instead we paid for 3 persons. Breakfast was ok only the noodles is not properly cooked as it is still hard to chewed😅. (Still room for improvement)
The main highlights was the service we received from the bellboy Mangala. He is very helpful, approachable and always smiling.
Others then that it is easy to get the public transportation i.e. tuk tuk and car.
Definitely we will be coming back again.
Thank you

Granbell Hotel Colombo offers a perfect blend of comfort, style, and breathtaking views.
A View – Sunrise & Sunset Magic
The highlight of staying at Granbell is the stunning ocean views. Wake up to a peaceful sunrise, watching the golden rays reflect off the calm waters. In the evening, the sunset paints the sky with hues of orange and pink, offering a mesmerizing sight from the rooftop pool or balcony.
Right opposite the hotel is the railway station, adding an exciting touch to the stay. Watching people rush to catch their trains, street vendors selling snacks, and the daily rhythm of Colombo’s life creates a fascinating contrast to the serene ocean view.
Granbell Hotel is more than just a place to stay—it’s an experience. From the tranquil ocean views to the lively street scenes, every moment is worth savoring. Whether you're here for business or leisure, it’s a stay you won’t forget.

Would recommend this hotel.

I recently stayed at the Radisson hotel in Colombo and was blown away by the experience. The stunning ocean view from my room was the highlight of my stay.
Breakfast was delicious and it was made even better by the ocean view from the dining area. The rooftop bar with the pool had the most incredible sunset view I have ever seen. Sipping on a cocktail while watching the sun go down was a truly memorable experience.
I highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a luxurious and relaxing stay in Colombo. The staff was friendly and accommodating, the amenities were top-notch, and the overall experience was unforgettable. I will definitely be returning to the Radisson hotel on my next visit to Colombo.

4.7/5
Outstanding
GGuest UserLocation of this hotel was excellent but unfortunately service lets it down.
At the breakfast buffet the first day was excellent after that it was a steady decline. We had to ask for a cup of coffee numerous times from different waiters before getting one minus sugar, saucers & teaspoons. One morning one of the managers in yellow tie picked up our plates unfortunately I hadn’t finished & had to grab my good before the plate was taken.
With room service one time we had no hand towels that was no big deal the next day they cleaned the room & left no towels they told us they would be back in 5 mins with towels one & a half hours later we had to ring reception to be told they would send someone up straight away, over 2 hours later we finally received our towels.
In the cafe we sat at a table had to ask for menus waited over an hour & a half but no one took our order!
Not to mention our room bell rang at 11:10pm & someone trying to open our door when we shouted out they said they were bringing us water!
AAnonymous UserWhat a great hotel, it certainly didn't dissapoint! We were upgraded to a room with a view of the lake which was beautiful.
We had Christmas dinner buffet and it was one of the best ever, with an amazing amount of choice.The staff were very friendly and helpful, they certainly know what hospitality means. Easy to recommend!
CCJ12A beautiful building in a very pleasant area of Colombo; the architecture and interior design of the hotel are a joy to behold and the vast majority of staff are polite and courteous. Plenty of amenities nearby to suit all tastes and interests. The breakfasts were great both mornings (both the Sri Lankan breakfast and the Western style), and they really lived up to the high expectations we’d had from the Instagram marketing we’d seen.
We were upgraded to the North West Suite, which was a larger room, for which we were greatly appreciative; a couple of issues with working plugs and appliances (coffee machine and hair dryer) were reported and rectified, although the wiring/plugs more broadly were temperamental and poorly placed (as expected, possibly, with the charm of an older hotel). However, the bed was comfortable, the hotel was quiet, and the bathroom was well appointed.
Our only qualm was with the overzealous Head of Housekeeping, who seemed to not grasp the subtlety required for such a role, or the privacy with which guests might like to enjoy the beautiful hotel. It appeared that he lingered all too often in search of a tip, and didn’t quite appreciate the boundaries one might desire when paying a reasonable fee for each night. My wife and I took to speedily locking the door and placing the ‘Do Not Disturb’ sign on the handle to keep his incessant interrupting to a minimum. His deputy was, however, an asset to the hotel, who seemed to comprehend the subtle art of providing high quality service for a luxury stay in a lovely hotel.
All-in-all, a great choice for a hotel in the heart of Colombo, and hopefully, during a busier season, the aforementioned Head of Housekeeping might spread his overbearing attention across the many rooms of the hotel.
Ssuba pjThe room's condition did not meet the expected standards. The walls were in poor condition, and the shower door did not close properly, requiring me to hold it shut while showering. Additionally, the duvet cover was torn. As a five-star establishment, we anticipate a higher level of quality and were disappointed with the current state of the room.
BBeeshman BahiradanGreat location, beautiful surrounding atmosphere, great staff. Most friendly and helpful receptionist and staff ever, lovely and great first impression of hotel. Everything about the hotel was exceptional. It was clean and stylish. Food was good and great value for money and service was attentive and efficient. Room itself was well equipped and comfortable. I was very pleased with my stay. I hope to be back for a longer visit in the future.
GGuest UserGood location, management needs to be systematized, guests have checked in, there is a problem with the room circuit, it took quite some time to repair
GGuest UserThe hotel is quite clean, there is a swimming pool, there was no refrigerator in the room, the food in the restaurant is not very suitable for Russians, they cook unusually and not tasty. The food in the restaurants of Unyvatuna was much better. The location is very good. If you have not been to Colombo before, I highly recommend taking a tour from a tuk tuk driver, they offer tours at the hotels. You can negotiate for 4000 rupees. He will briefly tell you in English and drive around Colombo for 3 or 4 hours. We saw all the main sights and the driver waited at the temples and museums. Despite the fact that at the resorts they offer to pay for a tour of the same places, but with a Russian guide for 100 dollars per person. The price is not justified.
DDon Thusitha - AustraliaEverything was good but the room didn't have a table and a chair. It was better if those two were available because I wanted to do some work on my PC, but I couldn't. May be next time.
「「taozi」Overall, it was okay, but things were a little slow. I had to wait for an hour to check in. The WiFi was sent by the housekeeper after contacting Ctrip customer service. There are basically no people in the area who speak Chinese.
The hotel has a swimming pool, breakfast is included, you can see the beach, and the train passes by at 5 o'clock in the morning. In terms of value for money, it's pretty good.
Go out to the main road, about 600 meters away, and then on the right, there is a supermarket and KFC
RRajaratnam ChitranganAmazing location and friendly staff and clean rooms. Will be a added bonus if we can have Jaffna food Available all day from lunch time till midnight. Great experianca. Well done
