Ratings and reviews
2.0 / 5.0
I stayed here twice on my trip to Sri Lanka. First time with a large group. The hotel is in a great spot on the beach. You can’t swim at the beach plus it’s rather dirty with rubbish. It has beautiful grounds and a pool to enjoy. Food is good, staff are good. Rooms need renovating but clean and functional. No lifts but the staff carry the luggage for you.
5.0 / 5.0
Good pool. We all, especially our grandsons, enjoyed the excellent buffets with all their choices. Ideal surroundings to relax in, but near enough to Colombo. Nice shower. Radu particularly helpful

Beautiful hotel. Excellent food and atmosphere at both restaurants. Neighborhood not so great so stay onsite and don’t wander.

Nice hotel but need a maintenance. Leak patches are visible. Customer service on phone needs a training.

Hotel is located in middle or maybe edge of industrial estate. A staff member raises boom gate, obviously labor cheaper than electricity. In fairness other places I've stayed since also seem to have excessive amounts of staff, many just standing around. But what's unique to Pegasus is that you walk through a metal detector to enter the hotel and your bags are put through an airport style x-ray machine. No explanation is given for this. Are they trying to prevent guests bringing in alcohol, is there a threat of an attack?
A large amount of staff don't speak English, day receptionist that does needs customer service training and acts like you're bothering her if you approach the counter.
Tired having been on multiple flights, my baggage not turning up at Colombo Airport, and just wanting to eat something before going to sleep early, being the only place to get food in the evening on site is a fish only restaurant, I asked for a menu for room service (why was there not one in room?), she tells me, someone will bring one to my room (obviously I wasn't in the room when asking her so why deliver it there?) But an hour goes by and no one ever brought one, I went back and told her, now you'd think that would be the time she'd just go and get one herself, but no she says go back to room someone will come. No one ever came.
Staff trail you whenever you go outside, not sure if doing so for security reasons or they want tips as they ask if you'd like them to take your photo...

Our stay at Pegasus was excellent. Staff were amazing and helpful, amenities were excellent. The only area for improvement would be an upgrade to their coffee available for breakfast. Drop filter just doesn't cut it.
4.0 / 5.0
The property was near the beach and has a walking path. Almost all the hotel staff and at the front desk were nice. The choice of dishes at the buffet were excellent. Most of them were delicious. And the staff at the restaurant were very obliging. My husband is a vegan. He had lots of choices and was very happy.
But some at the front desk were not very helpful. Check-in were very quick and pleasant.
When we wanted a hire a car to a certain time the staff didn’t do anything an then said no car available. And didn’t do anything. We managed to get a car which came to drop passenger at the it.

3.0 / 5.0
The staff are friendly and polite. The brrakfast, lunch and buffet is good however can do with few more options.
Wifi was a big issue and wifi router had to be installed as there were issues with public wifi.
The in room dinning service and house keeping was hit and miss sevice wise. I had to follow-up few times to get our room serviced.
Cheers

Hotel is not easily accessible and Uber and other hire vehicles do not often accept rides. There is no travel desk and minimum help to find cars for hire. In room dining service is very slow. Service that is promised in 15 minutes could get delayed by 60 minutes or more. The building needs a new coat of paint. Staff provide very odd reasons for declining requests and are not accomodating. Food is decent. Pretty yard. Beach is accesdible.

I have stayed at this property few times prior to COVID and financial crises. The staff is the same friendly, professional, courteous group who is so focused on excellent customer experience. The location is 15min to downtown Colombo and 5min to Wattala junction.
5.0 / 5.0
Friendly courteous and pleasant staff. Morning breakfast is fabulous. If i had to pick a fault it would be that the hotel needs a good paint job and some of the toilet fittings need a upgrading. The sraff wirk really hard for their money specially the young man on level 3 room service. I thing he needs a raise.

Nice place - good food, kids enjoyed the pool, and away from the chaos of Colombo. Rooms were nothing fancy and a little dated, but worked fine for our family. Staff was great and very accommodating.

Came for a recovery stay to get over our night flight and jet lag before seeing the rest of the country. The hotel rented out the pool and the area next to it to a school group so it wasn’t possible to relax and have a quiet day by the pool. The kids started coming onto our private balcony and looking into our room in the morning. Not a nice experience for a rest stay. Also you couldn’t go on the beach and have a nice walk because there were men as soon as you stepped off the hotel property trying to sell you taxis and whatever else they could think of. Just not a good start to a holiday really. Fish restaurant was good though!

There was no elevater, no fax mechine and no car/taxi and the property looked a bit out dated. Staff was very pleasant and helpful. Breakfast buffet was really great.

Staff was outstanding - always goes above & beyond to service your needs. Quality and freshness was great. In room amenities could be improved but relative to Sri Lanka other 5 star hotels I stayed this was fine. Close proximity to Wattala town, Colombo, and safe location. Beach was clean.

Hi very enjoyable stay with excellent service especially from Gayan Wakishta F&B Manager who looked after my elderly parents every need. All the staff in the restaurant were very attentive and customer orientated. Will certainly come again. Live music on some of the evenings as well as pianist in the foyer made this a very enjoyable break for me. With views of the Colombo Skyline from the beach this was truly an enjoyable stay.

Very average hotel next to a scruffy public beach.
Noise from the hotel nightclub and corridor very poor, no pleasant night sleep here.
A bit out of the way, hotel has no onsite facilities to organise trips and transport, except local uber drivers , who can take up to 40 mins to arrive, and have no local knowledge except a satnav.
Buffet food ought to be better for the price.
Only saving grace, is the separate restaurant on site that was excellent, and I am grateful it was there.
