Shangri-La, Colombo is well worth the stay! From the amazing staff, services to the restaurants! The buffet food at Central (its vast selection and quality) is out of this world! Try the afternoon tea and the Ceylon Mocktail No.1 at the Sapphyr Lounge!

Everything was excellent, only one issue was the toilet cover, kept falling when you use it however, it was our fault. It didn’t complain because I believe they would fix it by the way.

The hotel was absolutely fantastic. We enjoyed high tea in the lobby, pool, sauna and health & wellness facilities. I only wish the hotel was a bit more mindful about guest experience when booking main restaurant for corporate events. Better communication and more dining options would be helpful.

When you arrive, this greeting area and lounge is an indication of the service and experience you are about to have. From the dinning experiences, the gym facility and lounge experiences are truly amazing. Add onto that personal touches with gustatory experiences at the Sapphyr lounge with Maneesha, Aakib, Navodya, Shalika, Harsha. They showed warmth and attention to detail making our experience memorable.

The staff were very kind and very helpful. We loved the hoppers and the Sri Lankan soup in the morning buffet. I wish they had more authentic Sri Lankan dishes offered at the dinner buffet. We ate there twice and would have loved to have jackfruit curry as well as banana curry. The room is very comfortable. I asked for blankets and we directly got them. We enjoyed our stay. Thank you.
