We stayed in Holiday Inn in Colombo for 1 night st the beginning of our First Choice Discover Sri Lanka tour. The hotel rooms were clean and comfortable - slightly more shabby than Holiday Inn's in the UK but still comfortable. We ate our evening meal in one of the restaurants downstairs (I forget which one is was, as there... more

Me and my wife stayed here for the 1st night of our honeymoon in Sri Lanka. This hotel has a great location, right next to The Galle Face Hotel and Galle Face Green, minutes from Slave Island and Pettah District. We found this hotel to be clean, with spacious rooms and were greeted as honeymooners with a fruit basket. The... more

I stayed here for about a week during a conference. The noise on the first night, from a wedding reception was crazy. I had a broken lightbulb that I tried to get fixed for a week, with no luck. The room was OK, plain, but sufficient Good food and breakfast. Internet connection is complicated and intermittent. The service was mixed.... more

I stayed in Holiday in during my visit to Sri Lanka. While the location was ideal as it was close to some of the more happening places in Colombo... I think the hospitality of the staff and the quality of food deserves a special mention. Specially the Indian Restaurant was 'Yum'.. The Prices were quite reasonable too and would definitely... more

We stayed in this hotel for two weeks during July and August 2006. The staff throughout the stay were very helpful, they could not do enough to help. Rooms were very spacious and clean. They were attended to each day at a time to suit us! Nobody hassled us to leave the room so that it could be attended to.... more

This is a nice hotel in the heart of Colombo. We stayed here for about 12 days during the hottest month in Sri Lanka. So the airconditioning came in handy. The rooms are well appointed and were nice and clean. The rooms come with an inhouse safe - very handy and easy to use. We needed an ironing board on... more
