"The public areas are very smart (evoking a colonial mansion) however our room was a bit tired (needs a repaint) and the door was a bit wobbly. good view across the bay to Colombo. The swimming pool area bar restaurant are all very good (the food was ver y nice but the wine was a bit expensive £££). good large... "

"This Hotel is crammed pack of colonial charm. Even as you walk in the man on the door is dressed in old colonial regalia. I have stayed in a few different parts of the hotel and each room has been delightful. I love looking out over the sea and seeing the twinkle of lights in the distance of Colombo. The... "

"In general the hotel is ok the view is excellent and food is good. Staff are courteous and helpful. However reading through the Trip Advisor reviews I booked for a room in the Governor's wing. Upon arrival at mid night the receptionist informed me that no room in the Governor's wing is being rented out due to maintenance. It was... "

"Mount Lavinia needs to be understood if you're comparing it to the Ritz or a fancy boutique hotel then of course its not going to live up to your standards. Its like driving a 60's classic sports car and expecting it to have the modern day comforts of a brand new family saloon ML comes into its own when you... "

"Stayed for 2 nights on arrival in Sri Lanka. The hotel is very elegant and oozes with colonial charm. The room was big but showing a few signs of needing some TLC! Great to have an ocean view from the room. ML hotel is well located to get in to downtown sri lanka for markets/shopping (Fort/Pettah) having the ML station... "

We were rather dissapointed with the resteraunt as no a la carte menu was offered . Staff were generally friendly and helpfull. more "

"My wife and I stayed for 3 nights in a suite in the Bay Wing of the hotel at the end of our tour around SL. The hotel is perched on a headland around 6 km outside the center of Colombo city - this is no problem everything is just a short taxi ride away if you want to visit... "

"We've stayed twice at this beautiful hotel for a period of 2 weeks at a stretch. The staff is extremely friendly everyone smiling at you opening the doors for you etc. The second time we came with our 2-year-old daughter and we weren't happy with the (old-fashioned) cot that they had provided; we simply told the reception about it and... "

"Many tours spend first night here. Not sure why as at least a 2 hour run south from airport through the awful traffic. If you are then starting the northern tour (eg the Elephant Sactuary being the first stop) you have the same 2 hour trip back across the city. Anyway the hotel is grand but tired. It is quite... "

"Being a regular business traveller to Sri Lanka I choose to stay at the Mount Lavinia hotel as a matter of routine now. You just can't beat the personalised service you're offered - it's as if they've known you for years. Everyone is smiling asking you about your day whether they can do anything further for you is your room... "
