I had a very pleasant stay at the Mount Lavinia hotel. From the bellman to housekeeping to front office hotel manager & reception staff were alway so helpful , professional taking excellent care of their hotel guests and they are superb in their hospitality skills. The only disappointment was the breakfast buffet, The local dishes seemed like it was water down to westerner’s palates, very bland dishes and most of the hot dishes were cold example porridge & congee was cold and I had 4breakfasts not very exciting at all. Other than this disappointment the rest was great. I love everything about this hotel, very sleek but not pretentious . Beautiful hotel with its rich history i will return again next year . Highly recommend this hotel to all my friends & colleagues . Thank you

I enjoyed the ocean view from my room, but it was located near the public beach area, which was quite noisy with people milling about. I was also disappointed with the gym, which was situated in a nearby building that felt abandoned and unsafe. It was dimly lit, and the stairwell up to the gym was in poor condition. The adjacent building clearly needs significant renovation or to be demolished. On a positive note, the private beach was beautiful. However, it was surprising to see so few guests there. I’m not sure if others were aware of it, as there were no signs directing visitors. I had to inquire at the reception to find out how to access it. Additionally, it would have been nice to have a café where I could purchase coffee or a snack, rather than relying on room service with the same menu as the restaurant.

Lovely location and we enjoying visiting this beautiful colonial beach hotel however we were charged twice for drinks consumed in the lobby and moved to the terrace area despite explaining to the staff at the time and showing my receipts. Be careful and double check your statements as they take your bank card and disappear with it. They don’t need a pin or a signature to take money out. Shocking!

This is a historic property with an amazing history that evokes nostalgia. With a bit of an upgrade it will be back to its former glory. It has the potential to become Sri Lanka’s own Raffles Hotel.

Hotel is in perfect location. Steeped in history and a very grand building. However this shows in its condition in places. Some corridors do smell very damp but is very clean. The bathroom we had showed signs of tiredness. Our room was ground floor and had a family of pigeons nesting on out window box . Poo everywhere. Private beach is nice but I preferred public beach. Nice hotel and great location.

The hotel has some great features. All public spaces, restaurants and food are excellent. Amazing location too. Service is variable. Some excellent staff and some not so great. But the problem was the room. It was really basic. Not a single lamp stand in the room. It was dark and I was unable to read anything from the ceiling lights. The shower had a bad smell. I stayed at the Kingsbury in Colombo, paid the same rate, and the room was fabulous. Can't understand this difference in standards.

This was our third visit and I hope it won’t be our last. It has an amazing old colonial feel with a wonderful history behind it. Very relaxing. The food is amazing. They have one of the best chefs in Sri Lanka who has become famous for his books and television appearances. The staff great too. Nothing is too much for them.Then there is the private beach with fish restaurant and happy hour watching the sun go down over the sea

The only good thing I can say is the location and the view. Restaurant is great.It may be a 200 yr hotel and it is supposed to be grand and all but you desperately need to update the place especially rooms and all if you are charging top dollar.

The staff were all lovely. When the man on reception learnt that I was going to change in the bathroom before going to the airport (we had already checked out) he allowed us to use a guest room for a quick shower - it was greatly appreciated. Lovely property with a great beach and the seafood restaurant is really fantastic.

The following is very much in the hope that the hotel will know how to improve.Mt.Lavinia H is one of my favourite hotels, So all improvements would be great for me.As is usual this time too was excellent service & staff were friendly.The choice of food in the breakfast Buffet apears to be much reduced though.I found that the fruit stall was restricted to 3 or 4 fruitsAny time I asked for a mango i was told that there was none available even though it was quite early in the mornings.I know there was plenty of mangoes available outside the hotel so really was no excuse.The fruits at breakfast time used to be a highlight with wide variety and generous potions.Compared to atleast two other hotels i stayed at, the Breakfast Buffet at Mt.Lavinia was very very poor this time, which made the breakfast not worth the money.Cutting costs is great, however, when it means the food is reduced in variety & quantity you are cutting down on your good name and your hard won reputation.Hope this is constructive criticism proves helpful.

The management were amazing! We had a few issues, but when I explained the problems they took care of them striaght away. Best Manager in the Hotel is Ms. Costa, she is head of Housekeeping, but truly took care of our every need. It was like personal service. She knew the History of the Hotel, all the secret places, and gave a personal tour. Amazing Service from Ms. Sriysnythi Costa

DO NOT GO to this Hotel. Good history BUT NO MAINTENANCES and worse than third class. DERELICT CONDITION though out. Written to Expedia, Hotel Resident Manager & CEO but most of the things in the hotel including not working showers, boiling hot water without cold water, 3rd class house keeping & room services, cheap quality food, derelict furniture, rotten conditions such as smelly carpets & lifts etc are still the same. We changed rooms two times in day one and the third room given to us was a lot cheaper than I paid BUT hotel has NOT refunded the money. They did have an offer for Sri Lankans Rupees 10,000 per half board (£40 per day) for this room we stayed and we are Sri Lankans BUT did not refund the money!!!
