Little oasis in the middle of busy city”

We traveled Sri Lanka for 10 days and stopped in Colombo before our flight to the Maldives. We booked Marino Beach as the pictures looked amazing and the reviews were very positive. However the hotel exceeded all our expectations. The staff were very friendly and always smiling. We were greeted with cold fresh juice on arrival. We had dinner in the Tides restaurant and the food was delicious. There was a big variety and quite a few vegetarian options as well. Of course the best feature was the infinity swimming pool on the 10th floor with the ocean on the background and the beautiful roof garden next to it. The room was cleaned to perfection. There is a quirky glass that divides the bathroom from the bedroom and you can watch the tv while relaxing in the tub. The Marino mall is easily accessible from the hotel lobby. We truly enjoyed our stay in Marino Beach and will definitely book it again if we go to Colombo 😊

Marino Beach is a great hotel to stay in Colombo”

The people of Sri Lanka are very nice and welcoming in general, they are honest and friendly. The staffs of Marino beach Colombo are no different. They are very nice, kind and guest-friendly. The female receptionist and others were very kind to give us a room with a better view of the sea upon request. The room and everything else is neat and clean. Nice bathroom fittings with an automated blind curtain. The room has a touch of aesthetics to make anyone’s stay here a memorable experience. On top of that, guests here get unlimited access to the infinity pool, garden, and Jacuzzi. The Food Emporium and Marino Mall with the VR Park can make life easy, especially if you are traveling with kids. The food emporium has excellent Local, Indian, Western food. Price of food is reasonable. Also, the view of the sea is excellent from there. You can smoke at the pool, at the balcony of your hotel room, and at the restaurants of the food emporium. Do taste the tea in the restaurant. It’s excellent!

Great Value for the Price!!”

I stayed at Marino Beach Colombo for 3 nights and it was very comfy and accommodating for myself and my 11 year old daughter. We ate breakfast every morning and it was delicious. The ambiance was very calm and inviting upon walking in the hotel. The pool area was very nice with a beautiful view of the sunset. The only thing I didn't like is how the hotel restaurants on the rooftop had a double surcharge compared to the restaurants not apart of the hotel but on the same rooftop less than 20 steps away.

A contemporary style new hotel in the heart of Colombo ”

This hotel is conveniently located to just about anywhere in Colombo. Large structure adjoining the Marino Mall and has an entrance through the hotel to the mall. Rooms are very spacious and each bathroom has it's separate shower and bathtub. Service was prompt and efficient from room service to housekeeping. Food was tasty and well presented. Outlets too are varied and there is access to their food court which also has several smaller food outlets. Beautiful infinity pool on the rooftop is their most outstanding feature which has panoramic views of the city and the sea. Thank you for a lovely, comfortable stay.

huge clean and comfortable room plus good location near the beach and minitry of crab .”

limousine car (bmw) is so luxury and reasonable price ,recommended! we used this BMW car to ministry of crab they charges us 950repees ,so fair price i cant believe. i appreciate everything about this Marino beach hotel wish to come back soon.

Best Place in Colombo ”

Marino beach hotel is one of great hotel in Colombo , great hospitality and friendly staff ! nice view on roof top pool area, best place for relax.

Refreshing Stay”

I was surprised to see how fresh and nice this hotel is. Placed in a beautiful location front of the sea, room was adequately big enough with a nice balcony and all necessary furnitures & amenities. The bathroom and shower was also very nice with all amenities. The hotel management thankfully paid attention to details and ensured everything is available. The breakfast is amazing with so many options. The best part of the hotel is the rooftop - with a big deck facing the sea, huge infinity pool, a roof top garden, garden bar and 2 nice restaurants. This roof is a hidden gem in Colombo city. Also there’s a mall with the hotel though not a lot of variety in that. Overall the experience was amazing and will definitely stay here when back to Colombo.

Well located new hotel”

We stayed 3 nights at the end of our 3 weeks holiday to Sri Lanka. Marino Beach is a good 4 star hotel with all the expected facilities. Huge buffet breakfast. The rooftop pool is great, though busy. Possibly not enough dining options but there are plenty in the local area.

top class hotel”

Friendly staff, good food and almost everything is good. Our next stay in Colombo will be again at Marino Beach

Short Stop”

I had a short stop in Colombo where I chose Marino Beach as our pad. Everything was great except that Agoda made a blunder of putting one person instead of a family. I made sure it was all correct but when I arrived at the hotel they made me pay breakfast for my wife. Anyways, it was only $ 12 but it was unnecessary. They arranged my airport transfer for a nominal fee and also a quick stop at Gangaramaya Temple for a good deal. Cheers.

Best Hotel - Word Class”

I stayed in this hotel in December 2019 for 7 nights. I really enjoyed this hotel very much. Wonderful clean safe friendly hotel to stay. Excellent Wifi. This hotel sure deserve the 5*. Best for relaxing in the rooftop with nice views and tasty food (2nd floor restaurant - must try their morning breakfasts or diners). Really appreciate how they make me feel like home. The service was perfect, friendly staff and always happy to help. Extremely recommended!!! - Rooms were very chic and super CLEAN. Front desk staffs were very professional and friendly. I would love to say thanks to every one who works at this hotel - the room service, laundry (I forgot the name of this young man who picked up my clothes 3 times and brought them back to me) Hotel Driver - Janaka: I hired a hotel car to visit Colombo while I was there - Driver name was Janaka. He was super friendly and kind. Always there to help with a big smile. Air Conditioned, clean car. I sure enjoyed it.

Exceptional in every way”

We had a really nice stay. Everything was superb. Staffs are very friendly. Breakfast was so tasty. Infinity pool and jacuzzis were awesome. Drinks by the pool was a really nice touch. This experience was star class. Thank you Team Marino Beach

Beautiful view and rooftop pool. Unresponsive, inattentive staff.”

Initially, I was going to book at The Shangri-La, which I wish I would've done! When I emailed them, they responded within 24 hours and had the Concierge send me a complete list of answers to my questions. However, I emailed Marino Beach four times after booking and NEVER received a response to my questions!!! When I arrived at Colombo, I went to their information desk. No one was there. Three different workers came up to me to help. Each calling the person that was supposed to be working the desk. The worker answered each time, and each time I was to lo d he was on his way. Tired, I hired a taxi. When I arrived at the hotel, the pe op pe at the front desk seemed indifferent. Surprisingly unwelcoming! I spent much of my first day out of the room. When I returned, I was surprised to see a birthday cake waiting for me! I went downstairs to inquiry about a later check out. I was given a nice no. I then asked to speak to the manager (I did not know who to thank for the cake) However, I was first told that there was no manager on duty, then after some fumbling at the around I was told to wait. I had not eaten all day and I was afraid that instead of a thank you for the cake, my dissatisfaction would come out. So, I left and went to t gf e restaurant. The icing on the cake! The food was a bit cold but ok. However, the server??? I sat with my dirty dish and empty glass and bottle for about a half hour! No offer of a refill or anything...just the bill. Then, the s as me person who let me sit for 30 minutes with a dirty plate in front of me, came back 1 minute later to pick up the bill. Lol!!! Definitely not a five star experience!!! Maybe I expect more from a 5 star hotel than just a beautiful view...am I asking too much for a response to emails and a refill on my drink? Somehow they have a 9.1 rating? Did I mention how the valet stood there and watched me struggle trying to open the taxi door? Never have I had that experience at a 5 star property!

Awesome ”

Good location and convenient. Walking distance to Casino, Fast food outlets. They have a Marino Mall next to the hotel.

Beautiful hotel and great service ”

We live in Sri Lanka and I am a Canadian Airline pilot with considerable hotel experience as a customer. The good things about this one..... Beautiful rooftop garden bar and pool. Amazing workd class breakfast. The staff are well trained and smiling. The only cons.... 2 small PLASTIC water bottles in the room. Not enough for a child. The room service food...... sounded great on the menu but it gets a 4/10. Prices are reasonable and the location is fresh with a nice sea breeze in the west monsoon. Good for train watching but get a high floor or they might wake you up. The appearance of security is good. Probably your best choice for business or a weekend getaway in Colombo! We will be back! PS.. please have something stronger than Fanta in the minibar next time!

Beautiful Hotel. Amazing Breakfast”

We only stayed one night on our way through Colombo. The room was very nice. We loved the breakfast buffet. Many choices of delicious foods. They also had tea samples from around Sri Lanka.

Excellent”

We are from Colombo, 5km away from MARINO HOTEL , but if you can stay one or more nights in this hotel,,,, wow,,,,,,, Meals,,,,,,mmmmmma, we love this hotel,,, every thing was perfect,,, pool,,,,,,,,,,, was amazing,,,,,,,

Bargain 5 star hotel with amazing rooftop pool and garden”

Amazing rooftop garden and pool. Large clean rooms with sofa and balcony. Food is ok and limited dining options within walking distance Good location for exploring Colombo

Great experience. Absolutely recommended!”

This hotel was great, from the welcome in the lobby to the smooth check-in process. The room I got (deluxe with a partial view) was amazing and quite comfortable. All facilities within the hotel are great, the infinity pool is a standout, all food outlets are very good (breakfast was excellent!). I was greatly surprised by the quality of the gym, lots of different machines and good environment. Overall, I would definitely be booking this hotel again when back in Colombo for either business or leisure. Ps. and added extra, the shopping mall in the lower levels was great!

Perfect stop over”

We only stayed one night, but wish we could have stayed longer. The pool was divine, great breakfast, good facilities and professional staff. Would definitely stay again if passing through Colombo.
