Find hotels in Cinnamon Gardens

The Cinnamon chain of hotels in Colombo have deservedly the best reputation in the hospitality industry. The Cinnamon Red cements that reputation by offering guests a new, modern place to stay that has all the amenities one could want - attractive decor, spacious rooms, comfortable beds, decent electronics (wifi, TV, phones, access to folio, etc), pool, gym, roof-top bar, adequate restaurant and a long list of other four-star must-haves while skipping some of the features that significantly impact the rates, such as room service or fancy bathroom amenities. We felt that our stay there was excellent and set a new standard for other hoteliers to meet.

Stylish, sophisiticated, civilised, an oasis of tranquility in central Colombo in a very chic neighbourhood. We loved our stay at the Tintagel, so much that we booked again for our last night in Sri Lanka. From the moment we arrived we were made to feel very welcome. The staff were warm, friendly, professional, attentive yet informal and extremely helpful. A special thank you goes to Anton the general manager who went above and beyond the call of duty to help us organise a hire car for the second week of our holiday. Fantastic service. Our room was amazing, spacious, beautifully designed with a fabulous bathroom, soft fluffy towels, huge bath and very comfortable bed. The breakfast in the morning served outside in the patio garden was the best we experienced in Sri Lanka. Delicious freshly prepared fruit, juices, the Sri Lankan breakfast (don't miss out - must be ordered the night before) was sublime with freshly cooked hoppers to order. We chose to eat out, travelling to and from the hotel was very easy either by tuk tuk or car and took no time at all to zip around and it was a pleasure to return from the hustle of the city to the tranquil calm interior of the Tintagel. If you're in Colombo the do not miss the chance to stay at the Tintagel. Highly recommended, a fantastic hotel.

Zylan Villa is located in the Cinnamon Gardens area of Colombo. Its not right in the heart of the action but a pretty suburb all the same and only a very short tuk tuk ride (its certainly do-able on foot too). Its stylishly decorated with lovely spacious rooms. It has a rooftop bar and pool. Although the pool probably isn't the prettiest pool you'll ever likely to swim in, its most welcome after a day trudging around the city.The breakfast was adequate and the staff were great. The boys on the desk were really friendly and helpful (they organised a train for us to Kandy). Would definitely stay here again!

I liked the hotel and its location - away from the hassle and bustle of the main roads of Colombo 7. The rooftop pool is a must-see - go there for a drink in the late arvo to enjoy the sunset. There are a few good cafes nearby, as well as the National Museum and ODEL shopping mall (that I quite liked). The hotel staff were helpful but not always attentive (in my opinion). Overall, I enjoyed my stay at Jetwing Colombo Seven, and will pick it over older Colombo hotels (like Cinnamon Gardens, for example) any day!

Fantastically beautiful hotel with everything you need. Ideally located to get you everywhere with Ing a few minutes. Staff are helpful and there is a lovely restaurant and small bar at the property. No alcohol is served though. I didn’t eat there and found the bar menu very limiting. I went in the “off season” in November and it was very quiet and not super organised for my arrival. The price was different from when I booked but only a few £’s differance. I would definitely stay again. Luxurious living for a fraction of the cost.

The staff were overwhelmingly friendly and helpful, including a welcoming cuppa when we arrived at 2am on a flight from Singapore! Our room was huge and clean and tidy. The location in Cinnamon Gardens was an easy tuk tuk ride to main sites and pleasant to walk round as streets are wide and leafy. Our host was an ex-chef and when he realised our passion for food he cooked evening meals for us which featured a range of Sri Lankan specialities. He was keen to share cookbooks and welcomed me into his kitchen. The curry breakfasts took a bit of getting used to, but it was only our first couple of days in this beautiful country. Our hosts were extremely helpful with directions to sites and helping put together a plan for our sight seeing day. The pool was clean and a welcome after a hot day or a big breakfast. We highly recommend this wonderful place to any travellers who enjoy that personal touch - it was fantastic.

Stayed here for a night with my boyfriend before travelling within Sri Lanka. The double room (#4) is clean and spotless. My accolade for Best Shower goes to Fern - strong water pressure, very clean bathroom and all the basic necessities were provided. The room is clean and the bed is comfortable. But the pillows are horrible - too soft! Though we only stayed here for one night, we were busy catching and killing mosquitoes! I found two mosquitoes on the area where my back was resting on and I must killed them but sleeping on them. The mosquito situation is terrible and they don’t provide you with a net, repellent or a coil. So bring your own, and come over-prepared! We did but we still got bitten! Staff are friendly and helpful. Check out Butter Boutique, a cake cafe just 50m away. Said to be the best in Colombo and I can’t agree more!

The place was good specially when it comes to the persons who are responsible for it , I stayed for two night , quit and clean 80%, but 55 per night was too much in comparison with other hotels in the city and in another cities, the neighborhood was quit , but at night I tried to go out , but street dogs stopped me and I cancelled going out that night. Shalini was a great person that handle everything just with whatsup chat , I really admire her work and the young man in the Villa , Thanks Saladura Villa.

Please note that AGODA listing does not supply the right address Ir took my tuk tuk driver a long time and talking to many locals before we found it. OLU Colombo Villas No 4/3 Malalasekera Place Colombo 7 What a beautiful oasis, staff are just wonderful, especially Indi, nothings a problem, beautiful breakfast too. Tuk tuk just around the corner, Independence Arcade just over the road - a joy to stay.

It was not so easy to find that hotel because there is no exact address shown on Agoda website and the locals have never heard about Crest Nest Hotel. But we were lucky to recognized the house comparing the its photos and buildings at the area. So check the address before your arrival. The hotel looks like a real house and is running by a local family. The owners are lady and her husband, they live also in that place. They are very friendly, speak excellent English and look very educated people. They also were very helpful to tell us about sights in the city and other points of interest.

my family and i had a wonderful stay at this hotel. the staff were fantastic - they simply could not do enough for us. the rooms were clean and well-maintained. the location is great, right on the sea front and a short walk to the beach areas. the terrace has agreat view out across the bay. the food was of a high quality but a little above the average in terms of price. were able to use the swimming pool of the sister hotel which was quite near by. overall, i would have no hesitation in recommending this hotel.

I trevelled with my family to Sri Lanka after six years to visit my relations and friends and booked this apartment through Agoda. This is one of the wisest choices I made in overseas travel, since the apartment was 75% cheaper compared to the hotel rates. The place is beautifully furnished with all the luxuries you need for a very comfortable stay. The place is large and clean and tastefully decorated with finer details like Whisky, Vine and Champagne glasses. Since its well positioned in the heart of Colombo, overlooking the National Tennis Courts on one Side and the Victoria Park on the other side and 5 Star hotels were within 5 minutes by taxi. There are ample leaflets of restaurants within few minutes walking distance with a variety of Chinese, Indian, Italian, restaurants and Cafes and food is delivered within 30 minutes. The best Shopping Malls Odel, Cotton collections, Liberty Plaza are within walking distance. The hotel staff is very friendly and the house keeping is done daily. Since we had a late flight at 9:00pm the hotel permitted us a late check out at 6:00pm at no cost. I will definitely stay again and look out for luxury apartments in future for my vacations instead of high priced hotels.

The other reviews here and on Trip Advisor are quite accurate. This is a modest apartment with basic furniture and fittings. And would normally have been for the households driver and family. But it is quiet,safe,basically clean,private,easy parking,and good value for a great location,(for embassies etc). About 350 meters towards the Fort is a nice 4 star restaurant with reasonable prices and a nice chocolate shop at it's front. I stayed there with my son in late Oct 2013.

We were very pleased with our stay at Decoco. It is located in the Cinnamon Gardens area of Colombo among the many international high commissions and consulates. It is one of the safest and cleanest parts of the city. her daughter, and her maid are delightful people to get to know and to converse with. We tried to stay at Decoco again on our return trip through Colombo but were disappointed that it was already fully booked.

This accommodation is tucked away and has no signage so can be hard to find. It's right opposite the Buddhist temple. The accommodation is like a B and B and the gentleman running it is very kind and helpful. The room is really large and has a very comfy bed. The location is quiet and only 10 minutes in a tuk tuk to the train station. The owner also organised a taxi for us to take us to the airport. It's great value for money

The first problem you would face with this place is you cannot identify the place using Google maps or street view. The sign board very small and not visible in the maps (or any photo). It is located under the Kuwait Airways signboard at the junction. When I arrive there, it was about 6 pm and there was one staff member waiting for me. They have two bedrooms with 4x double beds each. Surprisingly, only I was there at the night. They have AC rooms. Lockers and CCTV. You don't have to worry about security. The bathroom was clean and hot air constantly comes inside (I don't know how) therefore most of the time it is dry. The only drawback with the bathroom is as I observed, there were only two bathrooms for both rooms. If all beds are full, this would be a problem in the mornings. I didn't have to worry because only I was there. They provide you a light breakfast in the morning. It is good enough to start the day but you can ask more if you want (but you have to pay). The only drawback they had was they did not have any dinner option. But the "Mango Tree" restaurant is just across the road, therefore, you don't have to worry. You can spend the money you save by staying here to get a better meal. That is always a good plan :D. I would highly recommend this place to stay one night in Colombo. You would save a big amount of money and you could spend them in some other useful way.
