I like to keep this short. I have now tried all the top hotels in town and this is, together with the Hilton, my favorite! (see my reviews of the Cinnamon Grand, Gall Face and Hilton). So before the Hilton will be completely refurbished, Cinnamon Lakeside is presumably the best place in town – at least for the business traveler.

My 5th visit to Lakeside, but still equal impressed with the hotel in general, the rooms, restaurants, hospitality, the gym, and all the staff. My preferred choice also for my next stay in Colombo. Special greetings to Giram, the portier with a unique friendly and professional attitude!

Arriving at the hotel after a hectic car journey of over 4 hours, there was immediate relief in the quiet space of the lobby area even before experiencing the peace of the lakeside setting. I had a meal at the Thai restaurant and it was superb - although the Chinese restaurant looked equally inviting - and before the meal a... More

this hotel is the perfect venue for a visit to Colombo. Have stayed here before and the standards are still as good. Public areas are spacious and spotless. The poolside is a gem. Loads of space and an abundance of fresh towels. Eating by the poolside, the coffee shop and restaurant. All serve good quality food in nice surroundings. Rooms... More

We stayed in the hotel on the last day of our honeymoon for a change before leaving. I would note down some negative points below. 1- Not getting Internet username and password for more than 2 hours. 2- Not getting proper answer of what we ask from the reception, rather than giving proper answer they pass the calls. 3- Ending...
