Beautiful Hotel
Excellent courteous staff
A perfect getaway for those looking for a quiet and relaxed ambience in the heart of Colombo. An elegant boutique hotel recommended for solo travellers and couples.
Inconsistent and slow, sadly. Great place though!
Beautiful high ceilings, romantic bedroom, quiet, excellent service. Close to city center.
I recommend this place, value for money.
The staff and service was excellent specially Sudhera at the reception and lalith .
Exceptional. Art at every corner. Bed is gorgeous, on par with signature 5 star hotel bedding. A must ! Will be back.
A wonderful hotel - certainly not cheap but stunning. Suites more thrive of a small apartment.

Tourist”
The hotel is grand rather than romantic, as perhaps befits a building that housed for many years Sri Lanka’s prime minister. The bedroom is huge and the bed extremely comfortable. The staff are highly professional and the food, especially the breakfast, is first class ( though there could be more Sri Lankan dishes on the dinner menu).
The two downsides are firstly the swimming pool which is cramped and has no view and the outside dining area. The area itself is fine but the parasols over the tables are a disgrace, - mildewed, badly stained and dirty. They should be replaced immediately.

Beautiful, serene, luxurious and still in the middle of Colombo City”
So far the best hotel property I've ever stayed in. Only ten rooms, boutique hotel and a quiet, serene place with the kind of old world luxury you would find in a British country manor. The peaceful environment encourages relaxation and l for one took great pleasure in the quiet well kept luxury of the beautiful antique furniture and subtle decor. Food is truly delicious, service is excellent and I must mention the very attentive housekeeping supervisor 'Saman', who went out of his way to ensure our comfort. Friendly, well trained staff. Only flaw, if any should be mentioned was that our room was a bit small. Still it left you with the impression of visiting someone's manor house, exemplary gem in hospitality.

Flawless stay”
Excellent service, spacious rooms, have all the facilities you would need (gym, pool, library), amazing breakfast (esp the Sri Lankan one), walking distance from shops and attractions, amenities from Paradise Road seems to be natural and very pleasant (I am very picky about body products). Feels like home away from home but with a touch of hospitality and luxury, would come back again and recommend anyone looking for an extraordinary stay in Colombo

Amazing!”
We stayed at Tintagel as a birthday treat for my husband.. When I made the booking I mentioned about his birthday. Eventhough I didnt have high hopes of getting any special treatment, they not only sent a lovely cake but they also sent some amazing cookies as a treat!
Breakfast was really good and we were too full from that to have lunch..
The only con we saw was that we were not given a welcome drink despite us seeing a couple of foreigners who were checking in receiving one which was really odd..but other than that their service was really good..All in all we loved our stay and we would definitely stay at Tintagel again...

Excellent”
We flew into Columbo and headed for the Tintagel and didn't want to leave. Couldn't find fault with this place even if I tried.
We stayed in a suite that was uses by Charles and Camilla. It was a large bedroom with four poster bed, separate bathroom, study and balcony.
There's a great pool for chalking up a few lengths in the morning before taking breakfast in the terrace walled garden.
Dining is a must and all the food is divine.
All the staff are very professional and friendly who surprised me with a birthday cake.
Without a doubt, this was the best place we stayed during our visit to Sri Lanka. A home from home.

A place for reverie”
A hotel like this, with such soul and charm, adds real value to your trip. There are not so many around as the world is flooded with standardised chains of triteness. It is such an oasis of comfort and character that, quite honestly, it makes the city look shabby and uninviting. I could have spent the entire week there with a book content that it was the whole world.

Refined hotel with history”
Stayed here for two nights at the end of July 2018, he hotel is the previous home of Sri Lankan Presidents and it retains a lot of the refinement that you would expect to see in a building such as this. Elegantly decorated, the public areas are excellent and are populated with some quirky pieces of art.
Our room, North East suite, was comfortable but maybe a little on the shabby side of shabby chic.
The staff were excellent, nothing was too much trouble and they were very professional throughout our stay. Note to management, your staff are a credit and an asset to your establishment.
Food in the restaurant was very good but the choice of meals shown on the restaurant menu was far less than shown on the in room dining menu, go figure.
Certainly would stay here again if passing through Colombo

2. The hotel was a old colonial building amd was the residence for three previous Prime Minister.
3. The older of this hotel has amazing touch for details. If you are a design lover, you must stay here.

friendly staff, stylish interior, good location, nice rooms
the Tintagel hotel was worth every single cent! the staff was super friendly. looking after me and my needs to the max.
the room I had was well maintained and I had a spacious balcony for private use.the pool is stylish but more for cooling down, rather than for a propper swim.
I had breakfast only but that was very nice. fresh fruit, good coffee and superb service.
the overall ambience of the hotel and its facilities is very well maintained and styled with an eye for detail.
overall conclusion: when I go back to Colombo, I will go back to this beautiful hotel!

Everything is great, food & breakfast is awesome .
The hotel only has 10 suites which means very little crowd.
However, only one minus point is that they charge for late check out. We didn't see any crowds or other guest so they could have given a complimentary late check out as our flight was 1am.

I would not have the slightest hesitation in recommending this hotel to visitors to Colombo. ”
Located in the quiet 'up-market' district 7 of the city, this hotel is with just a few rooms will take you back to another era. Built by Dr Lucien de Zilwa in 1930. The house has a fascinating history and became the family home of the Bandaranaike family, whose patriarch, Solomon West Ridgeway Bandaranaike became the country's Prime Minister in 1956. He was shot on the veranda of the house and subsequently died. His wife, Sirimavo, took over as PM becoming the world's first Prime Minister and, having won two general elections, Sri Lanka's the longest serving Prime Minister. She died in Tintagel in 2000. The political dynasty continued with the son and youngest daughter Chandrika Bandaranaike Kumaratunga becoming the first female President of the country.
The house is decorated stunningly with artworks wherever you look. The staff are wonderfully attentive without being intrusive. Food excellent, the 'interior' pool a delight, the bar area restful & the library a tranquil haven.
