“After 14 years of marriage this was our first real honeymoon! and we left it to the tour operator to decide where we were going to stay. We had 5 days and 4 nights in Sri Lanka and it was planned in such a way that we would spend only Night 1 and Night 4 in Colombo. Its a good”
“We were first booked in another hotel. At our request this was changed to the Ceylon Continental. This is a 5 star hotel mainly catering to business travellers.

“Stayed for 11 nights at this hotel. My office is a stone’s throw from the hotel (oh don’t throw anything . there are armed guards everywhere). I got a room facing the city ie facing the guards. Didnt want the ocean view because the sound of waves crashing made me a bit edgy especially after the tsunami. Besides the rooms get”
“I have stayed at this hotel every year for the last 3 years. It’s okay but has been steadily going downhill. The hotel is classed as five star but I would class it at about 3 stars.

The rooms are OK but do smell pretty damp. We have actually stayed here on 2 occassions now and the second time we got a smoking room”

“It was certainly value for money in this case. The 70’s decor and stale smell in the lifts & hallways were not pleasant. The cost of private cars must have gone up considerably since the last set of reviews were made because though many reviews within the last year state that a day will cost $25 its actually $40 -“
“I had read that this superbly situated hotel (between the Indian Ocean and the historic Fort and Pettah areas)was renowned for its service and indeed it could not be faulted on this criterion.
