We spent an unforgettable night at Ishq. It's a pity that we didn't stay a few more days because of time. We'll leave it for next time! The hotel is simple and elegant, the bedding and furniture in the room are quite tasteful, and the hotel has a very charming library. I really want to stay in it for a week and enjoy the quiet time of reading in the breeze; the hotel is well maintained and clean, and the bedding has a fresh smell of sunshine, which is very rare in a hot and humid coastal city; we enjoyed an unforgettable dinner in the exquisite restaurant, with dancing candlelight and cool breeze, which is so romantic! It is also worth mentioning that our housekeeper Darshana is very enthusiastic and professional, and provided us with a lot of help. Thanks to the Ishq team for providing guests with such a beautiful resting environment!

Words can’t express how grateful I am to the team at Shangri La Colombo. I was travelling with my grandma who is 91 years old so I wanted to book our stay at a place that I could count on . I have experienced the hospitality of Shangri-La at other parts of the world and I was hopeful that it would be the same. They did not disappoint. Right from Masood at the door to Dileka at breakfast and Waruna at the Concierge , our every need was met, and then some! It’s fully accessible if you have reduced mobility , and everyone who works there is constantly thinking ahead, so that you feel comfortable. The location is beautiful, the food is amazing and the hospitality is truly exceptional. I’m very grateful to the entire team for ensuring we had a memorable holiday.

I had a fantastic experience at the newly opened ICT Rathnadipa Hotel in Colombo. From the moment I arrived, the service was exceptional. The hotel is beautifully maintained, with modern facilities and a peaceful atmosphere that made my stay truly relaxing. The food was delicious and offered a great variety of choices. A special thank you to the wonderful staff who made my stay even more memorable: Mr. Andrew, Lasantha, Minuri, Erandi, and Dinethma from the Front Office – your hospitality and warm service were outstanding. You all went above and beyond to ensure I felt welcomed and comfortable throughout my stay. I truly appreciate your efforts. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Colombo and look forward to coming back soon!

We checked into a twin room, and everything from the mattress to the pillows was incredibly comfortable; it felt like sleeping on a cloud. However, toiletries were only provided for one person, and there were only two large towels. There was also black mold in the corners of the shower. Healthy options for breakfast were limited, consisting mostly of pastries, pancakes, and other sweet items. The breakfast to-go bag we received was equally disappointing, containing only four pastries and four small pieces of fruit. The gym was very small, the air conditioning was broken, and it was very stuffy. While guests received a discount at the bar, an additional 30% for service charges and tips was added to the bill. Our key cards frequently stopped working, forcing us to visit the front desk repeatedly for assistance from a technician.

The hotel is at a good location linked to one of the shopping malls,which is convenient to shop,and also walking distance to one of the tourist attractions of the Buddhist temple. The room was average as there is no shower screen which make the whole bathroom wet, especially people who are not happy with such designs  and may distort the experience and one part the room service staff forgot to replenish the shampoo and conditioner when we checked in. However we informed the office desk and immediately they sent the necessary, however overall the experience was pleasant.

Visited Colombo during off-peak season so we managed to visit the city with less crowd. Views from any sea-facing room is incredible for its price - slight blocking with 2 towers in front but you can get a better unblocked view if you go for Premium tier rooms. I have to commend reception staff Anjala, who managed upsell me a Premium Seaview Room from a Superior Seaview Room. He took the time to explain the differences between each tier, accommodated to my budget constraints, and brought me to each room (empty ones of course) for a viewing before committing to an upgrade. After hearing that I was there on honeymoon (my husband would only arrive later), he relayed that to the rest of the team who took care of us wonderfully throughout our 4-day stay. Overall, room is clean and roomy, perfect for business calls with fast and reliable in-room wifi. Only downside is their TV doesn't have Netflix or Airplay, only Miracast for Android/Windows users. Tip for travellers: tell your driver this used to be Movenpick hotel - they will know where to drop you off.

The basic room type was spacious enough, I loved it! However, the shower water temperature was inconsistent, especially with the large showerhead. The most embarrassing thing was that when I returned to the room after breakfast the next day, the electronic lock wouldn't open. I asked the staff to fix it quickly, but their execution was poor!
