I had the pleasure of staying at the Ceylon Continental Hotel during my summer vacation in the beautiful island of Sri Lanka. Due to the great location the hotel is situated in, it was the right choice to choose this hotel for my weeks stay in Colombo. My room had a view worth a million worlds. I was surrounded by the lushes blue waters of the Indian ocean and a magnificent view of the Colombo city. The food was amazing. Each meal had a different theme and each dish had it's own significant mouth watering taste. Every night, the spread was different and consisted of a variety of dishes from vegetarian to non-veg. The desserts were my favorite part as I was able to taste a vase spread of international deserts and natural fruits I had never tasted before. The service at the hotel was very homely. Everyone was smiling from the time I walked in. The cafeconti has some wonderful pastries and cakes to offer along with some mouth watering lunch specials. My favorite was their "Nasi Goreng" as I had never tasted anything like it before. I was also able to be a part of their "Rendezvous" event that took place while my stay at the hotel and it gave me an excellent opportunity to meet other expats in Colombo. Their themed parties are a wonderful way to spend the night life and to let loose and have fun.
I strongly recommend this hotel to any guest looking for a hotel to stay in while in Colombo. Take my word for it, you will not regret it!
Room Tip: The top floors give a better view of the ocean and the city.
