An excellent choice for the last day and night of a two week trip in Sri Lanka. Got to the hotel hours before the check in time, and was given a room straight away. There are multiple restaurants to choose from for dinner. Dinner at Ocean was fab! Cocktails at the roof top bar were nice. And the afternoon by the pool was chilled. All the staff were friendly and very helpful.

Smoking smell during the stay.

Property smelled like smoke even though we have requested non smoking room. People were smoking during the night and you can smell that in the hall way. Ordered hoppers from Chef Jayasinghe in person.He said they will the hoppers to our table. While we were waiting I can clearly seeing he was giving our hoppers to his favorite customers. Went back and asked again and he said we will send it back to your table. Very unprofessional behavior.

Kingsbury Hotel is fit for a king!

The Kingsbury had a great vibe and character too. The thing we loved most of all was, the focaccia bread in the buffet, it really showed the quality of chefs they employ there, probably the best in Colombo. The Kingsbury Hotel definitely has standards.
