They allowed me to check out at 3 pm, which was very nice.The restaurant was good too.The room itself was a bit shabby but warm water ran 24 hours and air con worked.

        It was a good location from which to explore Colombo. There mosquitos in the room. Mini fridge and the cupboard were dirty. The sheets had a few marks.

        Hotel room was totally molded. Mold smell is really strong and you can see it in bathroom. Good think that you can use next door pearl grand hotel pool and breakfast (not any special)

        Great Hotel”

        location, shopping, helpful staff

        NOTE: the Pearl City was full when I checked in, so they put me in their new "sister" hotel, the Pearl Grand, which is next to it and FABULOUS. While I cannot comment on the rooms at the Pearl City, rooms in the Pearl Grand were great. Staff in both establishments were very helpful. The location is awesome, either way, with plenty of food and shopping options nearby. They arranged airport transfer and gave me a packed lunch in the wee hours of the morning. Will stay here again if I am in Colombo.

        Upgraded to sister property - Pearl Grand Hotel”

        Free upgrade, friendly staff, great breakfast

        Though we booked a room at the Pearl City Hotel, this review reflects our actual stay at the Pearl Grand Hotel across the way. For some reason, we were upgraded to a city/sea view room on the 9th floor of their sister property and loved it. I'm not sure what the difference in price is for the room but we definitely got a deal. The hotel is just off the main road but within walking distance of city buses that drops you off at the bus or train stations. Clean, roomy, comfy and friendly service. And the free breakfast was delicious. Would stay at the Pearl Grand Hotel. The Pearl City Hotel looked nice too.
