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!

What truly sets this hotel apart is the exceptional staff. The team at the central restaurant was absolutely brilliant — attentive, friendly, and incredibly professional, making every meal a memorable experience. Equally impressive were the concierge staff, who went above and beyond to ensure our stay was seamless and enjoyable. Their knowledge, warmth, and dedication to service made a lasting impression. A truly outstanding experience thanks to the people who work there.
Eshwer, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

Facilities of the property and ambience was great. Rooms were clean and turned down service daily which was excellent stuff for very friendly and helpful. Unfortunately not many authentic Sri Lankan dishes in the flavour was lacking by saying that there was loads of dishes and condiments mainly orientated to its Indian food. overall experience was good.

"Excellent Stay with a Minor Breakfast Hiccup"

We recently stayed at the Shangri-La Hotel in Colombo and had an overall excellent experience. The hotel itself is beautiful, impeccably clean, and the service throughout was professional and warm. Our room was spacious, comfortable, and well-maintained, and the facilities throughout the hotel were of a very high standard. The only reason I am not giving a full five-star rating is due to the breakfast experience on our first morning, which unfortunately did not meet the expectations one would have of a hotel of this calibre. We were seated in a far section not typically used for breakfast, which was quite far from the food stations and had no staff presence to assist us. The egg station was understaffed, with only one chef and limited service plates, and basic condiments like salt and pepper were missing from the tables. Additionally, only instant oats were available rather than cooked oats, and there was no hot milk jug provided—something we've found standard at other five-star hotels. That said, we are pleased to note that these issues were addressed in the following days, and the breakfast experience significantly improved, reflecting the service standard we expected from Shangri-La. Despite the rocky start to our mornings, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would happily return. Thank you to the staff for making the rest of our visit so enjoyable.
Waheeda, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

The Shangri-La is a beautiful hotel and a happy place to be in. The service at the Lounge bar was somewhat slow but the staff were always courteous and kind. Overall, it is a super hotel, and I will definitely come back again.
