Hotels in World Trade Centre, Colombo

The service is good, the room is clean and the view is great. We booked this place mainly for the Chinese food on the third floor. Going downstairs, you can go directly to the best local shopping mall. The prices are relatively high, but the food and drinks are still good. It feels like one of the few good places to stay in Sri Lanka.

I recently stayed at this hotel and had a wonderful experience. The rooms were clean, tidy, and well-maintained, making it worth every penny. The staff were extremely helpful and went out of their way to ensure a comfortable stay. The breakfast offered a great variety of options, catering to different tastes and dietary preferences. From fresh fruits to hot dishes, everything was delicious and well-prepared. The overall ambiance of the hotel was pleasant, and the amenities were top-notch. I highly recommend this hotel for both business and leisure travelers. It’s a great value for the money, and I would definitely stay here again!

My friend and I travelled to Colombo in January from the UK. The hotel is large, modern, well appointed. Comfortable bedrooms, ample choice at breakfast (which can get busy). Our room had a Lakeside view, pretty enough, but it also overlooked the poolside bar/club which had loud music playing till the very early hours, rendering sleep a challenge. I would recommend checking this, before you book, or stay on the other side of the hotel. However, what soured our stay was that the day after we checked in at the hotel, we were victims of a scam. As we left the hotel to walk to the local temple in the morning (still jet lagged), a man claiming to be a hotel employee started a conversation with us. He claimed his name was Sangha Perera. He appeared to be helpful, giving us directions. As it was raining, he advised us that taking a tuk tuk around the main tourist attractions would be easier and cheaper. As he was connected to the hotel, we trusted him. He 'found' us a tuktuk, and even joined us acting as an unnoficial guide. Eventually he ended up taking us to an 'officially credited' government approved jewellery shop, which had 50% off,  he even told us a percentage of profits would be donated to tsunami orphans. We were pressurised by the shop management (all men) into purchasing items.  After that the tuktuk driver told us the ride for 2.5 hours would cost equivalent of £100 in rupees, and things got very heated until we paid up. We reported the matter to the Jeevani Perera, Lobby Manager at Colombo Cinnamon Lakeside hotel. She told us the man did not work at the hotel, and an identical incident had happened previously. We also spoke to the hotel security officer, who said he would check hotel security videos. Later we even sent them photos of the man claiming to be an hotel employee and the tuktuk driver. We were disappointed to receive no response from them. BE WARNED if you stay at this hotel. Scammers are working around there, and the hotel seemingly turns a blind eye, without advising guests checking in! (SEE PHOTOS OF SCAMMERS ATTACHED). Am sure the same thing goes on outside other hotels too... We eventually went to the local police, who were helpful, and they went with us to get our money back from the jewellery shop (Lanka Sapphire Lapidary PVT Ltd., no 83 Dharmaphala Mawatha, Colombo 07), but it was not easy to do so. A salutary lesson.

Hilton’s breakfast buffet is simply outstanding! There’s such a wide variety of dishes, from local specialties to international favorites, all super fresh and full of flavor. The setup is gorgeous, and the staff are so friendly, always making sure everything is perfect. On top of that, the hotel’s overall vibe is just amazing—elegant yet relaxed, with a warm and welcoming atmosphere that makes you feel at home. It’s the perfect place to start your day feeling refreshed and pampered.

Check in went smoothly, the rooms were comfortable, the shower good. It was noisy on Friday night from music somewhere outside the hotel. Normally, that wouldn’t bother me as the noise stopped not too late for a normal nights sleep but I had an early airport transfer so wanted an early night. There is a lovely view from the restaurant terrace of the Lotus Tower. I liked the hotel, the location and all the staff were very helpful.

The hotel looks a bit old, even the room was rather spacious but needs some kind of renovation. We stayed at the hotel only one night, so everything was fine. Receptionists were nice and helpful. The food at the buffet wasn’t really expensive (we had to pay extra money for it) and it was good. The most popular sightseeings can be reached on foot (if you like walking a lot ;-))

Super nice hotel, I’ve stayed here for three times now. Excellent location, clean and modern rooms, helpful staff. There are also plenty of local restaurants to eat just a few seconds walk away- including the famous Ministry of Crab, which was voted as one of the Top 50 Restaurants in Asia. 👍

Hostel is ok overall I might say, AC in the rooms and common areas, great location, clean as well. But the reason why I am giving 5 stars is the staff, great service, and especially Shankar he is so professional, hard working and humble at the same time, give that guy a raise before someone else does 🙋🏼♂️

Excellent location best value for money this is the lowest priced hotel in this highly business district room is big washroom is decent i found only one thing is the items in hotel are highly priced for eg, french fries 7 usd is too much in a hotel like this.

Convenient location near Fort station and a few mins walk to a good selection of tourist restaurants, cafes and bars near the World Trade Centre. Probably one of the best locations in Colombo for tourists using the train. Clean and spacious room. Comfortable bed and good shower with hot water. My room also had decent air conditioning. Friendly, helpful staff. Easy check in. Good price. I will happily stay here again next time I am in Colombo.
