This is far from a 4* hotel. The property is VERY run down and so many things are broken. It needs urgent repairs but nobody seems to be bothered. Staff at check in were not bothered at all, take it or leave it attitude. The doorman/porter was the only nice person. Check-in was at 2pm I arrived at 5pm waited for a hour and my room was still not ready. After 2 hours still nothing but nobody was bothered, so I went elsewhere. Overall worst hotel I’ve ever stayed in

Is this hotel really four-star standard⁉️ I traveled from the USA to visit my family in Sri Lanka and reserved a two-night stay at Mount Lavinia Hotel. After more than 32 hours of flying, I arrived just before check-in time only to be told they couldn’t find my reservation. First, I want to give credit to the staff — they did their very best to accommodate me and were kind and professional throughout. However, the property management has clearly neglected many necessary updates. The hotel does not meet four-star standards. From the lobby to the rooms, the entire place needs serious renovation. There’s a musty, moldy smell throughout. The rooms were dirty — stained carpets, cracked and broken walls, damaged bathroom tiles and tubs, and very poor lighting that made everything feel dark and uninviting. I had to wait nearly an hour before they finally sorted out my room. Breakfast was great, and again, the staff were lovely — but overall, this place is not worth the money. It’s really sad because this is a gorgeous historic building in an amazing beachfront location. With proper upkeep and modernization, it could be truly exceptional.🔥❤️ Sudath

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.
