Cinnamon Red Colombo

Quiet and comfortable with good location. The view was exceptional

Our stay at this modern hotel in Colombo was absolutely wonderful. The location is perfect—right in the heart of the city and close to all major attractions, making it easy to explore everything Colombo has to offer. We stayed in a room on the 22nd floor, and the view was stunning. The room itself was spacious, beautifully designed, and had all the modern amenities we needed for a comfortable stay. The highlight of the hotel was the rooftop pool, bar and gym on the 26th floor, offering breathtaking panoramic views of the Colombo skyline. Whether during the day or at sunset, the view was simply mesmerizing. Next to the pool, there’s a well-equipped gym, making it convenient to work out while enjoying the view. Breakfast was another highlight of our stay. The buffet had a fantastic selection of both Sri Lankan specialties and Western-style dishes, catering to every taste. The fresh tropical fruits were particularly amazing, and everything was well-prepared and delicious. The hotel proces also buffet lunc and dinner. The staff at the reception was incredibly helpful and welcoming, always ready to assist with any request. It was also very easy to get around the city using tuk-tuks or the PickMe app, making transportation hassle-free. Overall, this hotel exceeded our expectations in every way. The modern design, excellent facilities, delicious food, and great service made our stay unforgettable. We would definitely come back and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Colombo!

We enjoyed our stay at Cinnamon Red. Great modern hotel with rooftop bar and pool. Large buffet breakfast. Lovely comfortable room with a great view. Super staff. Nice Prawn restaurant a few doors down and convenience store across the road. Easy to get an Uber from outside the hotel to go into the city/station etc. We had train tickets sent to the hotel and staff looked after them for us until we arrived.

The location was great, Security at the entrance made me feel safe and secure. The Staff were very friendly. The bedroom was amazing, I had a corner room on the 24th floor, so had spectacular views of the city. The bed was super comfy. The room was very spacious with large shower room and facilities. The breakfast choice was amazing, with great choice of continental, British, European and Sri Lankan cuisine. The bar on the top floor has amazing views with a pool overlooking the city skyline. The food in the restaurant was amazing. There is a supermarket across the road, which came in handy. It more than met my expectations and I will definitely stay there again, if I return to Sri Lanka.

We chose a panoramic room at the Cinnamon Red hotel for the higher floor with view, and were not disappointed. We were given a corner room on the 20th floor which had a 180° view across the city and towards the sea. The huge bed was very comfortable, with 2 sumptuous pillows each. A complimentary bottle of water each in the room was very welcome, as was the tea and coffee making facilities. There was an ice machine near the lifts on our floor, which was a nice touch. The shower area was large, with a hot and powerful shower to luxuriate in, and some toiletries. The bathroom was well-lit, housed the adequate hairdryer and large standard/magnifying mirror and good sized towels. Our room was excellently looked after by a friendly, polite and welcoming young man called Gayan. He always greeted us with a smile, checked several times that all was to our satisfaction, and was happy to chat with us a little. Breakfast was to a good standard and my husband was happy to get a full English whilst also trying local cuisine. There was plenty of choice, a cooking station, and the food catered to lots of different tastes/dietary requirements. We stayed 2 nights and chose this hotel for its excellent location for visiting some of the many landmarks in Colombo. It is a lovely, clean hotel with a pool, gym and bar/snack bar on the 26th floor (rooftop). Happy hour is 5pm til 7pm each evening and a great place to relax and watch the sun set. Read less
