Hotel generally clean, service was absolutely terrible - they only staff interns on reception which makes it unbearably slow. When staff accidentally damaged items of ours which they acknowledged and agreed to refund yet never did and since we left the hotel they now refuse. I wouldn’t recommend this purely on that basis.

ロケーションは最高。 まさにインド洋が眼下に広がり、完全なオーシャンフロント。 シェラトンなどは一歩奥まった通りに面しているため、ロケーションだけ取ってみると当ホテルの圧勝。 あと日本の会社がやっているだけあってウォシュレットが部屋の中に設置されているのは有り難い。 しかし、悪いことつが2つ。 1つは料理が致命的にマズいこと。 朝のビュッフェ、それと一度夜のビュッフェも食べた。品数はそれなりに充実しているし、食材のクオリティもまあまあ高い。スリランカ料理を初め、各国の料理が用意されているのだが、全体の1割程度のスリランカ料理はまあまあ美味しいのだが、その他各国料理が極めて不味い。 多分一度も本当の各国の料理を食べたことがないシェフ達がインターネットなどを見て、こんなものだろう、と想像で作っているレベル。 ほぼ全てのメニューが壊滅的に不味い。 2つ目は部屋の中には完全にベッドしかないこと。 部屋自体はとてもモダンでカッコいいのだが、机も椅子もないのが、こんなに不便だとは思わなかった。 飲み物もベッドサイドの小さな台に置かないといけないし、PCはベッドの上にしか置く所がないので、不自由極まりない。 なぜ椅子や小さくても良いから机ぐらい用意していないのか？

End your Sri Lanka stay here!

We had a lovely stay at Granbell Hotel Colombo. It closed out our two week stay in Sri Lanka, and was one of our highlights. The hotel itself is modern, comfortable and well located. The rooms are incredibly well suited for couples - perfectly sized and with an amazing view (if you are debating, upgrade to a sea view)! My only complaint is that the menu prices exclude VAT, and you are unaware of this until you receive your first bill! It means that the hotel is unfortunately very unreasonable for food and drink for Sri Lanka - but there are plenty of eating options in Colombo.

Over all the property is quite good. It had a similar design compare to Grand park city hall hotel. Layout and everything almost the same but just not as clean as Singapore. Would visit again if I’m in the area. View point is definitely the money shot for this hotel

Not bad..

Tidy, fairly clean and modern hotel. Check in was a lot despite booking well in advance, paid for and checking in late at night and no one else around, seemed we were not expected which was odd. Reasonable location. Tuk Tuk drivers out the front (allegedly attached to hotel) were ruthless and attempted to scam and over charge us at every opportunity so use Pick Me App instead. Expensive drinks at roof top bar and coffees at cafe were more than we’d pay in Australia so don’t bother. Pool was good. Great view. House keeping was intermittent about replacing consumables supposedly complimentary, we struggled to get ice and items delivered to room despite following provided instructions. Okay overall but more difficult to navigate than it should have been

Stayed here for 2 nights. First night we received a room for which the toilet still had urine odour. The TV was broken and wires hanging out. 2nd night they accommodated us with a new room upon our request- which we really appreciate. However the toilet odour situation was the same. Both washroom areas had build up on tile hence was slippery. The TV- it’s a cheap piece of equipment for which it responding to its TV is a hit or a miss. Given the $$ spent here and comparison to other hotels around the area at same price point, can do better.

Our go to hotel in Colombo

The Granbell is our favourite hotel whenever we are in Colombo. The staff are really friendly and very efficient, check in super fast. The infinity pool on the roof offers amazing views across to Port City and the 'Bar on Top ' is also situated on the roof and offers a great selection of food and drinks.
