Grand Oriental Hotel, hotel in Colombo

Housed in a colonial-style building, Grand Oriental occupies a prime location a 5-minute walk from Colombo Bazaar. Featuring a restaurant, it offers classic rooms and free WiFi in all areas.

Lovely staff especially at reception and in the dining room, fabulous, diverse breakfast with view of busy port, good air-conditioning. The whole experience was one of cultural immersion. Its an authentic old hotel with none of the global homogenising of larger, flashier places. Queen Elizabeth stayed here and you can feel what the hotel was once like. We arrived straight from the airport, first time in Sri Lanka and it was a great introduction to Sri Lankan people. If you want a joyful, culinary experience and don't mind about the room facilities so much come here. We'll be back.

    Improvements - in the restaurant area, coffee and tea making facilities to be a bit more secure and spacious. To cater more for western tastes as opposed to locals - ie more cereals and yogurts. At time a bit too tight for numbers. Pay more attention to health and safety around the tea/coffee area. Milk gets very hot, better signs to indicate this. When floors are being mopped, to use wet floor sign so people are aware.

    Colombo is now getting better after a recession few years back. They are on a speedy recovery. There are lots of places you can visit for sightseeing. If you are going on a business trip, Colombo is an ideal space for staying as they have all the good locations (especially importers and huge markets). Better book private hire through a car company, it's way cheaper if you want to explore the city. Walking is also a good option.

    Beautiful city with clean and green infrastructure. Recommended for Indians to visit. Shopping was good (Visited - One face mall, City Center mall, Havalock city mall). Galle face location was great to spend some time with family. Independent square, Gangarama Buddhist temple, Lotus tower tourist spots were nice. 2 days is enough to cover Colombo city.

    Havelock Garden BNB is very modern with a very pleasing aesthetic feel. It was spacious and had all the amenities you could possibly need. Great location with some great finds on your door step. Bus service, tuk tuks, shopping Mall, with a free ATM outside (inside charges) Sim card shop 50 metres away apx - end of the road. Sky Bar with infinity pool called Me Bar. Great to watch the city light up and it is happy hour 5-7pm - walking distance . To mention but a few. The housekeeper goes above and beyond to ensure you have a comfortable stay and her Sri Lanken Breakfast is delicious and will set you up for the day. We could also have an english breakfast if desired. We would most definitely stay again.

    The city is busy with chaotic traffic.

    The city is busy with chaotic traffic. On the night of the 25th city roads from Colombo 3 to Fort were closed and we did not know. When we got a taxi (Uber and Taxis were not able to reach us) they charged 6 times more than the usual fare. The tuk-tuks often charge foreigners very high fees. Make sure you get into one with a functional meter. There are good places to eat. Don't eat street food because their hygiene habits are questionable. Colombo is reported as a dengue-prone area. So use mosquito repellent. During December, there weren't many. Ask the hotel you stay for taxis or use their local Pickme app. Yet it is often wise to check the agreed fee. Otherwise they charge much higher.

    My stay at ME Colombo was awesome. Overall I had a great experience from the time of check in through check out. Shenella was supper helpful getting us checked in and followed up during out stay. Shenella also assigned us a great room. The room was very clean. The best part of this hotel was the pool and the view. Perfect place to have a beer and chill. We had dinner at the hotel that night and Roshan made some great recommendations for dinner. Love this place..

Safe area guard also by the the army. Breakfast was continental and tasty. I recommend all guest coming to Colombo to trust me and stay here.

    What a wonderful oasis of calm and old fashioned grandeur in a beautiful location. We loved everything about this excellent hotel. The staff were warm and welcoming, with every possible need anticipated in advance. The Sri Lankan breakfasts and an incredible Thali for diner remain the best food we have had so far in Sri Lanka. We look forward to a return visit, hopefully in the not too distant future!

    This was our third stay in three months! By far, one of the best places we've stayed at during our time in Sri Lanka. The customer service is exceptional, the beds are very comfortable, the food is of high standard and variety. The rooftop pool is the perfect place to relax and cool down under the Sri Lankan sun! If I were to return to Sri Lanka, I would most certainly book this hotel again.

    We stayed here just before heading to airport. Location is awesome, just next to Gangaramaya Temple. Quite short distance to any activities in Colombo. We really liked that it was like 3 minutes walk to the mall under Marriot hotel. The Marriot hotel's skybar was awesome for watching sunset and having a drink. Hotel room was good for the price, with working AC.
