I stayed alongwith my partner at Cinnamon Lakeside on 14 th to 16 th June, I must tell you, this is one of the best and comfortable hotel to stay in Colombo They are too professional in room service, restaurants, spa or even front office. This is value for money and I'll always stay here Regards Raghavendra

I'm not usually a big fan of "5-star" hotels anywhere and, sadly, this visit proved my point. Yesterday, I visited the hotel for a business meeting in the lobby. When my guest arrived I ordered a simple tomato sandwich on cipatta bread. No lettuce, onion, French fries, mushrooms. Just plain tomato with Balsamic vinegar. I spoke slowly and carefully because...

RECOMMENDED (your choices are limited): I'm giving this 3* based upon my international travels and rather pricey room rates considering. Let me get straight to the point - the mattress in my room was shot! It is a cardinal sin in a hotel to have a poor mattress. Lack of solid sleep is the #1 thing I need in a... More

We totally enjoyed our reception and stay at Cinnamon Lakeside. Every requirement for our wedding reception was accommodated - Earls Court, although a smaller banquet hall with pillars, was fabulous. Following our reception we stayed for two nights in a Premium room, which was a nice size with some lounging area on the chaise settee. Room service was also great... More

We stayed for 3 nights at this hotel and enjoyed it thoroughly. The lobby is tastefully decorated and the staff polite and eager to help. The hotel has its own taxies at reasonable rates. The swimming pool is good. Some lovely birds can be seen while enjoying the lake view. The hotel provides free wi-fi to all guests.
