During the late hours of the evening, when my family and I were waiting, sitting in the lounge area was extremely helpful as it provided some comfort as we waited for our taxi. What we did not particularly find helpful was at breakfast we asked for coffee and the lady took our order but we did not get our coffee after asking twice.

Asked me for a deposit of LKR 100,000 but still wouldn't bill the bar tab to my room, and demanded cash. Only backed off when I asked to speak to the manager.
The check in process was also annoying because the key card didn't work on my room door and I had to come back to the front desk.
The bell boy delivered my bag to a different room, even though my room number was clearly marked on the tag.
After checking out, when the bag was being loaded, I noticed my kit bag side pockets were unzipped and opened in two places.

The concierge promised me a new mercedes S500, then they changed and told me a Range Rover was outside waiting, then I go outside and see an aged Jaguar to drive me to TanGalle. This was terrible and dishonest and downright disorganized.
Oh I took my own bags down as I asked them to come and take to car, they seemed too busy. Anyways as I got down to lobby then they tried to take my bags, sorry I'll take my own bags and I'll never come back. Amateurs.

Here's the revised review incorporating the additional details about the breakfast buffet and gluten-free options:
My wife and I stopped over at the Shangri-La hotel in Sri Lanka on our way from Australia to the Maldives. We arrived around 11 pm on an Air Sri Lanka flight. If you don't fly business class, expect a long line at customs. After clearing customs, we easily located the Shangri-La desk, where a friendly staff member greeted us. He assisted with our luggage and arranged a cab to the hotel, which was a standard sedan without any hotel branding.
The hotel has extensive security, with two checkpoints to pass through before reaching the reception. Check-in was smooth, and the staff's English proficiency was adequate for a 4-5 star hotel in India. Our luggage arrived in the room shortly after, but we had to remind the staff to clearly note our room number.
Our room was well-appointed, with four complimentary water bottles, which we greatly appreciated. The strong sandalwood scent was initially overwhelming but became more tolerable over time. The bathroom was nice, although the bathtub was a bit too narrow for my comfort. We were pleased to find a manual bidet installed in the toilet, although an electric and heated version would have been even better.
The view from our room and the coffee spot was pretty, albeit industrial, overlooking the water. The espresso met expectations, although I'm admittedly a coffee snob. The breakfast buffet had a wide variety of options,

If you're looking for a relaxing weekend, look no further than the Shangri-La. My wife and I booked a weekend at the Shangri-la, and returned home fully relaxed and ready to resume the day to day stresses of work. The pool is well kept and the staff brings cooled towels, water and fresh fruit throughout the day. The Chi Spa is amazing! We had some of the best massages ever there. Shang's Palace and the Capital Bar and Grill are both delicious and the staff is very attentive. The breakfast buffet is enormous, and offers a bit of something for everyone, and again the staff are extremely attentive. We will definitely stay at the Shangri-La the next time we are in Colombo.

This hotel does indeed feel like a 'Shangri-La'. Excellent job. Received a tour and a taxi ride from the same hotel driver and he was just great. Fantastic stay. Love Sri Lanka!

Visiting from the USA and had a phenomenal experience! I would highly recommend this particular property. The service, thoughtful architectural design, and exemplary amenities make this an ideal choice while in Sri Lanka.

Like most Shangri La's the hotel is a pleasant place to stay. However the service here leaves much to be desired. Prior to my stay I had contacted the hotel about arranging to host an event. I was speaking with someone on whatsapp who suddenly stopped responding. I followed up twice afterwards but still with no response, so I gave up and looked elsewhere.
Then prior to arrival I booked an airport shuttle as I was landing at 1am so didn't want to deal with the hassle of booking a local taxi from a foreign airport. I arrive and there is no car. So I have to withdraw local currency and find a cab. I get to the hotel and inform the manager on duty who assures me he will look into it and follow up. I stayed at the hotel for 3 nights and no one reached out to me to either apologize or follow up about why these issues popped up in the first place.

I enjoy staying the hotel. There was bad smell at the room I stayed. I could not figure out the specific place for the smell. You need to check and fix it

We've stayed at a few Shangri-la hotels and they never disappoint. We were at the Shangri-la for 10 days from boxing day and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Convenient location in Colombo with easy access to shopping mall and it's food court next door and walk-able distant to the train station amongst other amenities. Friendly and helpful staff who go out of their way to help. Good quality and selection of food at breakfast and evening buffet. Loved our stay, will be back and would recommend.

The hotel is right across from a boardwalk on the ocean, so there are nice views. The staff are very nice and helpful. Rooms very clean and amenities are good. Buffet is good, lots of choices. Security is tight. We had a very nice stay! No complaints.

Rooms were nice but ac wasn’t working the whole first night, they didn’t even apologize just sent a technician to fix it the next day. Expected much better customer service for paying 900usd for 2 nights

Wouldn't change a thing!
