Grand Oriental Hotel

Very good location, near the port and main station, but the roóm are quite old.

Really great stay in Colombo! Wish we could have stayed longer. Old colonial style hotel where (we only found out during our stay!) the queen stayed twice on her visits to Sri Lanka many years ago. A place full of history! Our room was simple yet had everything we needed including on demand hot water (no geyser!), mini fridge to keep our drinks cool, AC and even (something I’ve never seen before) an inbuilt on demand music speaker with a handful of channels! Location is great and staff all very friendly.

Even if I ask you to clean the room, they won’t do it. The water on the floor of the bathroom doesn‘t drain well. Even if you ask me to change the towel, they won’t do it. There are a lot of cockroaches. I can‘t sleep well because of the sound of the air conditioner pen. I asked for mosquito medicine because there were a lot of mosquitoes, but I sprayed it and went. There is no effect I often come to Sri Lanka on business trips, but this hotel is just the worst. 방 청소 해달라고 해도 안해줍니다. 화장실 바닥 물도 잘 안빠져요. 타올 교체 해달라고 해도 안해줍니다. 바퀴벌레 많아요. 에어컨 펜 소리때문에 잠을 잘 못자요 모기가 많아서 모기약 달라고 했는데, 스프레이로 뿌려주고 갔어요. 아무런 효과가 없음 스리랑카 출장 자주오는데 이호텔은 그냥 최악임

Good location and lovely view from room and restaurant. We stayed just 1 night and it was enough for walking to some interesting points.

The room is quite old and leaking when it’s raining, and it has nothing to do with what is shown on the pictures

Too old but convenient to train station
