Cinnamon Red Colombo

Nice modern building, great view from the rooftop pool and bar

Was amazed only rated 3 star, better then many 4 stars have stayed in. Room good size, powerful shower in well designed bathroom. Housekeeping did great job. Rate included excellent breakfast with omlette station, and REAL back bacon as well in chicken bacon. Ate at restuarant and rooftop bar. Enjoyed both reasonably priced meals. Has pool and well equipped gym, had everything I needed , well done.

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

By oversight I had reserved a twin room instead of king bed which is my choice always. On check-in there was no king beds available due to high holiday season. The FO in-charge on duty bought it up to the management and the GM of the Hotel was kind enough to allocate a suite room till the King bed room became available after 2 days and i moved to that. Appreciate the action taken being a regular the Hotel.
