The Lion Pub is famous in Sri Lanka, located by the Galle Road. The rooms are decent, but the hotel feels a bit empty. Considering its location and price, it's worth it. Amenities include a bed-mounted TV and functional AC. Bathrooms are clean and odor free, and the place feels safe. Clean bed sheets and comfy beds make for a satisfying stay, though it's not a luxury experience.

My stay was quite comfortable, I felt very much at home. The staff were really friendly and super accommodating, especially James. And the host was great at checking in to see if I was okay and if I needed anything. The home is also located near the beach is amazing and close to various amenities which is great. Even With the shared kitchen and dinning area, the home still offered the needed privacy during my stay. I'd come back if I get the chance to visit Sri Lanka again

I really liked the area, beautiful large beach.
I really liked the area, beautiful large beach. The hotel I stayed at were really professional and great value for money. There are quite a few places to eat around but during this time many places were closed due to the escalation of the Corona Virus. They do offer water sport activities around the area but it was just nice to have some peace.
The people around do love to try and sell you items even when you say no, so be adamant and don't entertain them.

It is a lovely and famous, coastal area in the capital.
It is a lovely and famous, coastal area in the capital. However, beach-front properties are often fully booked and are expensive. The area is quite safe for anyone. The beach is beautiful, but locals don't recommend dipping in the sea here as it is considered too polluted.
I had a wonderful time at The Lion Pub & Hotel. The cleanliness and comfort were outstanding, ensuring a pleasant experience throughout. Plus, having their own pub on-site was a definite highlight. Moreover, there is a food city right across the street, which was very convenient. Additionally, I must commend their excellent room service, which made my stay even more enjoyable. Highly recommend The Lion Pub & Hotel for a comfortable and convenient experience!
Everything , specially we checked in so late and MR. Dinesh - the owner is so helpful and so cheerful . Hostel got private room which we booked and we pretty much liked it . It is total value for money . They also have a pool and a common area where everyone chill . I would recommend it to anyone visiting colombo , the location is right at mount lavinia beach near to all beach restaurants and shops . They also serves good brkfast and coffee ☺️
This was the standout hotel of our whole journey around Sri Lanka! Exceptional staff, exceptional accommodation. Hosts and staff go above and beyond to make you feel at home. The shower, bed and whole room were very comfortable and spacious, particularly the modern bathroom. Amazing location a few minute walk from Mount Lavinia Beach. Thank you very much for a fantastic stay! We will be back again :-)
This is my third (or maybe even fourth) stay at IceBurg. The apartments are all great, and the breakfast is exceptional! The host is also friendly and accommodating.
For the price, this place offers excellent value. We haven't found any other hotels in the area that compare. So, whenever we want to relax near Mount Lavinia, Ice Berg is our go-to place.
Highly recommend!
it was a totally scam i was deceived by a awesome pool photo they have added in their gallery there is no pool also the room has a view of a house lines it ruins the vibe … when i enter it has a smell and bathroom lights were not working they didn’t provided a quilt and it’s hard in the night because of the cold very dissatisfied never book that hotel
The hosts were just amazing! Everything is there to make you feel at home! You'll have the best advices, tour around and home cooked food. The room is super clean, bathroom, kitchen, living room and balcony are there. Location is great!
If I have one place to recommend in Colombo, it would definetly be the House of Erskin!
Thank you for everything!
Extremely helpful and friendly staff that met all our needs with a smile. It was great that the property had a generator as their were frequent power cuts. We had a night in the Deluxe Room and Superior room. Both were clean and overall were comfortable but the Deluxe room had nicer finishes overall and felt more private. Great security at the hotel.
the food and location were superb. The hotel is going through a return and parts are tired and in need of repair. The foyer was leaking water from above the whole stay which took some of the charm away and felt a bit unsafe Therefore the price should have been reduced whilst the hotel re-finds its past reputation. I hope it does.
In real its absolutely looking better than in pictures. Spacious and clean apartment. Extremely professional and friendly host and I enjoyed the breakfast.
I wish they had a balcony and that would be awesome if they can think of doing it.
Its close to Mount Lavinia beach and I took uber and it cost me around LKR 200.
Hotel was located in a nice location walking distance to the Mt Lavinia beach, Restaurants & Bars. Nice swimming pool which little bit rare in the area & for the rate.
Staff was really nice, room comes with a privet balcony which was clean & awesome. Staff also super friendly.
The room and the bathroom were spacious and very clean. Staff were really helpful and friendly. Although this place is situated in the middle of Mount lavinia, you can have a calm environment once you entered to this place.
I stopped for a night on my way down south, so it made sense to stop in Mount Lavinia. The property is close to the beach and there are decent food places nearby.
Perfectly located near the Mt.Lavinea beach. You can enjoy the view of sea at the hotel's roof top. Spacious rooms. Comfortable. Host is friendly and kind.
