    There is nothing Negative about here to say!

    The location of MaRadha is right in front of Marine Drive and excellent place to stay in Colombo. Everything is within close proximity, great Indian Ocean view with the rail tracks along the way. All the staff are friendly and knowledgeable about their respective duties towards guests. The Healing Cafe Siddique was very welcoming ,Pradeep at The Roof Top Restaurant served exceptional food and beverages , Breakfast Area and of course the Guided Tour provided by Udesha was phenomenal!

    There wasn't much noise isolation between the room and the corridor which meant you could hear doors banging and people speaking outside. This woke me up a number of times in the morning. There wasn't much help with baggage coming from the taxi to the reception or vice versa which you'd expect from a good hotel. The drop off area was also small. Having said that, the porter who helped bring baggage from the reception to room was excellent.

    Staff were very friendly and helpful and went out of their way to accommodate me. The view from the room was nice and the beds were comfortable. Pretty good value.

    However, we didn’t really like the taste of the drinking water provided by the hotel, so my girlfriend and I opted to buy water bottles daily from a convenience store located 2 minutes away on foot. We ordered tandoori chicken pizza on the first evening, which was so good, but when we tried to get the same for the next two nights, it wasn’t the same. Either it would be loaded with bell peppers and raw onions, or it just didn’t taste the same, unfortunately. I guess it wasn’t meant to be. Also, note that the prices do not include the tax and service charge on the menu, which I believe is normal in Sri Lanka

    We had a wonderful stay at Maradha Hotel and would highly recommend it for anyone visiting Colombo. The location is amazing, offering stunning views of the waves and proximity to rail stations, as the hotel is situated on Marine Drive. We stayed on the 8th floor, which was perfect since the Sky Bar on the 9th floor was easily accessible. We enjoyed happy hour there at 5 pm, especially the Lion draught beer, and had most of our meals there as well, since we didn't plan to visit many other places during our short stay in Colombo. We highly recommend trying the bar pub's cheese nachos with chicken and the chicken sizzler. Our room was superb, featuring a comfortable bed, a smart TV for watching Netflix and streaming music, and a great bathroom with super hot water from the shower. The room also had coffee and tea-making facilities with a water kettle, daily cleaning service, and an excellent air conditioning system. For our stay, we had daily breakfast included in the package from 7-10 am, and we recommend going before 9 to get the best selection for the day. Some of the other facilities, which we didn’t use but definitely appreciated, included a spa and excellent WiFi, which allowed us to stream movies online. Lastly, the staff was amazing and very kind, ready to help whenever needed—from the reception to the breakfast team, and especially the guys at the Sky Bar, whom we would like thank!

    In high season the pool area would be very crowded I imagine… The hygiene in the coffee shop really let the hotel down, tables were sticky, seat cushions stained..

    Smashing room, good size and view, very comfy bed. Very clean. Good AC, didn’t find a hairdryer? Loved the roof top pool and bar. A great location from which to access the city. Breakfast was really good.

    Most restaurants are showing prices + 10% service charge. This is ok. But there are also some, adding VAT to the prices additional. MaRadha is doing the same way. I am not happy with this solution as the total price is about 30% higher than the shown price in the menue.

    Very friendly reception. We could get two rooms with connecting door. Rooms were very clean and spacious. The bathroom and shower were excellent. AC was quiet and Wifi was fine. The rooftop bar was amazing. Unfortunatelly itz is not allowed to use the pool after 5 p.m.

    There was some issue with smart TV. We reported serval time but wasn’t fixed during our stay. And I’m confused with upstairs restaurant sky yard billing process, they gave me hand written bill which was 17 thousand when I asked computerised bill they refused for that, however staff was very polite. And apart from our restaurant staff and housekeeper no one from management asked us about our stay at the hotel till our departure. We meet at least 3 times front office staff but no one has time to asked about comfortable or do we need anything else. Definitely would stay here again and recommend it to others but has to review some area.

    Rooms were spotless, and the facilities were well-maintained. The hotel's cleanliness surpassed my expectations. Exceptional customer service, with a commitment to making our stay comfortable. I would like to mention our service staff at breakfast destination and our housekeeper lady. They are very professional and kind. Thank you so much for your lovely service.

    We stayed only for one night, as we left in the morning for the airport. But the hotel is really exceptional - the staff, the facilities even the breakfast options. We had dinner at the rooftop bar and the food was delicious and the staff was so welcoming. We would definitely stay again.

    Had to ask for things, like a hairdryer. I understand that it is cost/environment saving for guests to share, however, basic stuff needs to be provided in each room especially for guests who’ve travelled far & are tired. Being asked many times how we are enjoying our stay is cumbersome. I appreciate you need to do this, but don’t do it quite so much please.

    Great views

    That I didn’t stay there longer 😀. I have stayed in Colombo hotels for a couple years for work and wish I would have given this place a chance as it’s definitely a contender with the bigger hotels that I’m accustomed to staying at there.

    When I visit Colombo I often stay at the more well know hotels there in the city but wanted to try something different this time and was overly impressed. To be honest I have driven past this hotel at least a hundred times in the past and never noticed is to when I arrived for my 2 night stay I was a little hesitant. Was immediately greeted and given the royal treatment. The room was just as impressive as the friendly staff. Will definitely stay here again when I return to Colombo next week. Breakfast was also better than expected
