The room was clean. Bathroom and room fixtures and fittings need urgent updating. Electrical points, switches, shower were found wanting. The wooden floors in the corridors were in places in a state of disrepair. The hotel still retains its old charm and the staff are pleasant and I was impressed with the service provided.

Staff was very courteous but the hallways on the 4 th floor were dilapidated and in need of serious repairs. It’s a beautiful location and a grand colonial hotel which is a national treasure. It’s sad that the rooms and plumbing are in pretty bad shape. I would love to stay there again provided the bathrooms, tge plumbing and the hallway conditions are improved

The hotel is in a great location and has excellent breakfast, lunch and dinner buffets. The staff is friendly. Unfortunately the hotel is in need of major repairs. We cut our stay short due to a lack of air conditioning in all four of our rooms.

You can see that this hotel used to be an amazing property. USED TO. The hotel in general is falling apart: mold everywhere, decaying walls, floors, smelly and cluttered hallways. The air conditioner worked only the first night I was here. AC was never fixed after multiple calls to the front desk. hotels.com should really think about downgrading the rating on this hotel. The hotel profile and pictures are greatly deceiving.

I have stayed multiple times at MLH, and have to say, that its standards are sliwly slipping. It still has some very strong points, including fabulous breakfast and beautiful ocean views. However the building looks worn and neglected, and service is very hit and miss. The room phone was not working, so we had to call from our mobiles to ask for towels. It took three calls and over an hour before they were delivered. The front desk were very dismissive each time we called and the phone was not fixed during our three day stay. On the other hand, staff at breakfast, were great. Overall a faded beauty, whose owners really need to invest in building maintenance and staff training, to save this hotel and bring it back to its former glory.

This was our 4th stay at the Mount Lavinia. We always stay here on each trip to Sri Lanka. Prior to this trip, we hadn’t been back in 10 years. A lot has changed! It is still a truly magnificent historical building, and the location is quite breathtaking. The breakfast buffet is excellent, with everything from a full English breakfast to European, Indian and traditional Sri Lankan fare. The pool area is also still lovely. Having acknowledged these things, the overall maintenance of the building was very poor. Many things have fallen into disrepair. Our room, for example, smelled of mould. The fridge did not work, the telephone for room service was broken. The whole room required a deep clean, fresh paint work etc. Clearly there are financial issues or the upkeep would have been carried out. It is a true shame. Service was hit and miss. Sometimes excellent, other times completely non existent. After being a major draw card for us in our visits to Sri Lanka, sadly, now, we won’t be returning.

Such a shame that this once beautiful hotel has been run down so much. Dates rooms, dirty walls which look like they haven’t been painted in decades, holes in the floor boards, AC not working, horrible damp smell throughout the building. It’s completely clear that the current owners are not willing to invest. Steer clear would be my advice
