Shangri-La Colombo
5/5 Excellent
"
Absolutely amazing stay at Shangri-La Colombo! The hotel is stunning and super comfortable, but what really stood out was the incredible service.
Special thanks to Nisal at the front desk—so professional and helpful—and Ishani in the lobby lounge, who was warm, friendly, and made us feel truly welcome.
Everything from check-in to check-out was seamless. Highly recommend and can’t wait to come back!
