Overall great experience
Everything was fine except for the heater in the room . The night was very cool and we couldn't increase the temperature beyond 22 degrees. The maintenance guy who came didn't know how to fix it.

Beautiful history, needs updating.
The premise behind Mount Lavinia Hotel is great, the history and setting after amazing. The buffet's were great and staff exceedingly helpful. The rooms were dated and if you look too closely you can see the flaws in the hotel. It would be a major job to do a complete update on the hotel though, so you just enjoy what it is and take in the view.

Old World Charm.
The location of the Hotel with it's history makes it a delightful place to stay. The staff are just so lovely, with an absolute noteworthy member of the wait staff on the terraces. A young man named Malinda was just fantastic, a credit to himself and the Hotel. Would definitely stay again at this Grand old Lady. The theme nights held in the Governors Dining Room at night is worth trying.

Truly disaster from every aspect
Very bad location even though it's right front of the ocean but you can't swim. Terrible food quality , terrible hygiene in room utilitilies the bed sheets very old , the towels are brownish and old , the bathroom is very old with black plaques , very poor staff service , everything about this hotel is just terrible , don't get fooled by the lobby charming design of old English colonial design because that's about it .. The hotel needs a major renovation in order to continue running as s business

Great location
Great location very near to town centre railway station and bus station. Great colonial history and grandeur. Found it overpriced. Also bathroom had defects and could be improved. Eventhough room was overlooking the beach there was no access from the hotel. The hotel private beach was far and access was through the lobby and courtyard

Great location.
All staff were excellent except our receptionist. When we checked in we were being given someone else's charges and we were told that we only booked the room for a one person which was incorrect. He was ready to charge us an additional fee. I had to show the receptionist his error on the form which he gave us to sign. He lacked customer service.

Old fashioned hotel
Haven't been to such hotel since the 80s. It felt like I was being transported back into the past. Charming with colonial feel. Love the breakfast buffet. One of the best experience.
