Excellent stay”

Excellent stay at Mount Lavinia Hotel. Fantastic location and really helpful, friendly staff. I stayed for a week and extended my stay by one night with Agoda - rate was excellent, and the helpful reception staff were able to let me keep the same room for the one day extension. The food at dinner and breakfast (I was half board) was very good, and a very good room service menu for lunch. The pool was lovely. Highly recommend this hotel.

My room got broken into - still a great place to stay”

The hotel has undergone many changes since Covid, I’ve grown up in this town and thought it would be nice to stay here on my return to srilanka after a few years. They are making a solid effort to bring this place back to its previous standard. The staff are amazing and the breakfast, lunch & dinner buffets are also good. Main areas of the hotel including pool, dining & bar have amazing views of the beach and city + are great value for money in Colombo, specifically the buffet. The rooms are extremely outdated with issues such as rusted mirrors, climate control not working (sheets damp, air conditioning not able to sustain at over 23 degrees) we had 2 rooms both with the same issues and on arrival one room was infested in moths as the balcony door was left open during cleaning, I had to ask them to come and clear the insects out twice. On the second night at the hotel we went out and I left my jewellery box on the bed to find it had been emptied when we arrived back to the hotel room, I had left my balcony door unlocked (staying on level 1) someone had entered by climbing over the balcony wall. Spent 4 hours at the local police station to accomplish nothing as it’s seemingly my fault for leaving the balcony door closed but unlatched. Definitely worth a visit just be careful with belonging and don’t stay to long during your Colombo visit. Will take a few hours to return back to what it was.

Awesome Colonial Style Hotel ”

I loved this hotel so much. The location, right on the sea is perfect. Great views, marvellous pool and even a private beach. Wonderful restaurant and an enormous breakfast included with the room. My ocean view room was super comfortable and clean with an amazing King size bed. However, the staff were the best thing for me. Always happy, smiling helpful and polite. In the restaurant, staff members like Lakshan, went out of their way to be friendly and helpful. Even the doormen were as smiling and happy to make jokes. Do yourself a BIG favour and treat yourself to the Mt Lavinia Hotel. You will remember the experience forever! 🥇

Lovely place to stay !!!”

Mount lavinia hotel is a perfect place to the guest who loves beach. Perfect view, tasty cuisines, cleanliness and the facilities are really good. But the telephone line is not worked to call the front office, because of a breakdown of telephone line on entire 4th floor. Thats the only problem we faced in the hotel. Staff also good and helpful. Breakfast buffet also really good with so many varities. Value for money.

What a wonderful place to stay”

The sea view room was spacious and very comfortable, with a truly magnificent view of the beach, sea and hotel itself. Service was excellent and attentive throughout. The ambience wonderful. The history and romance of the building made it a truly excellent experience. I shall return!
