The Hilton Colombo was a great hotel and perfect for a couple of nights before going to the airport (although it is 1 hour 15 to 1 hour 30 minutes drive). It is situated in a busy part of the city centre but we were on the 17th floor in the executive rooms so did not hear any noise. Our... More

After two weeks of exploring Sri Lanka (my fourth trip there) I enjoy ending up in the Hilton. Yes, the rooms are Hilton-style cookie-cutter, but they are just what I wanted. It's the rest of the hotel that I find especially appealing. For example, you walk over the bridge to the pool/tennis/gym area and find yourself in a tropical oasis... More

Like other reviewers, I have to agree that the rooms need a revamp. They look like they're still stuck in the early '90s, albeit very clean. Whatever is lacking in modern touches is more than made up for by the service staff who are ever ready to please. The food is also very good; I never had a bad meal... More

We stayed here twice during our recent holiday in Sri Lanka. On both occassions our rooms were large, comfortable and well appointed. We found the reception and portering staff very efficient and welcoming. We dined in Il Ponte, their italian restaurant on our first stay and enjoyed a very good meal and wine at reasonable prices. Three courses including a... More

Overall we are pleased with the stay at the hotel and can point to a number of "well dones" to the staff on site from the moment we touched down in Colombo airport. We had agreed a pick up through a friend but the driver failed to show. The Hilton man at the airport immediately helped, arranging a driver for... More
