The ITC is in a great location on the seafront in Colombo. We were stayed 2 nights and were looked after from beginning to end. We were shown to our room by Leena who was wonderful and gave us a quick tour and run down of all the facilities and showed us to our fantastic room. The buffet was extensive, we also ate at the Chinese restaurant which was a very good meal, again with excellent serving staff who looked after us. There are two pools, the steam room was powerful and the gym was really well equipped with loads of cardio equipment, weights and loads of weight lifting machines in a spacious gym overlooking the sea. The bar on the 29th was excellent, the welcome host and staff were really helpful when we went on the evenings of the 5th and 6th December (didn’t catch their names). As we left another host, I think Selna? helped with our cases on the morning of the 7th - everyone was just so helpful - great hotel

Welcoming and calm. Highbury Colombo is like a sea of tranquility. Manuji and her husband are attentive hosts and the space with garden is really beautiful. My room was excellent and food (lunch and breakfast the next day) was delicious. Highly recommend this place

We booked this hotel super last minute for our last night in Sri Lanka before leaving the next day. Found it on googlemaps when looking around the area as I had an appointment nearby the next morning. The place is new, all new finishings, smells new, modern, room was really amazing it exceeded our expectations and would definitely go back if back in Colombo. Friendly and helpful staff although we spent less than 24hrs there. Cool rooftop with pool !

If you are looking for a luxury getaway with full privacy, this is your place. It was spotless and super clean. All the amenities were already there in the apartment. The apartment was decorated so beautifully. This apartment is located on the 9th floor, and the pool and gym are located on the 8th floor, making it so convenient. This apartment has the breathtaking view of Lotus tower and river. You will have major malls around the property, making it easier for shopping, too. Two huge supermarkets are just around the corner.. The host was super helpful, too. It really exceeded our expectations.

Despite its unassuming appearance, this hotel in Colombo boasts a conveniently central location, providing all essential amenities for a brief stay in town. The staff is exceptional, and the WiFi quality is commendable. While it lacks scenic views, it's an ideal budget-friendly choice for practical travelers.

Great spot! Lovely building in a good location (walking distance to a supermarket and a good base to explore Colombo by foot or cheap tuktuk). Very clean room and ensuite bathroom. Lovely rooftop with nice view. Use of the washing machine, kettle, fridge. Our host was welcoming, delightfully kind and so very helpful. You get a lot for a small price at this place. Highly recommended!

Lovely modern hotel overlooking the sea. Pool on the 9th floor small but very nice and cold beers went down well. Rooms were spacious, comfortable, well equipped, very clean and great bathroom. We loved the location - few cheap and cheerful street food/chea fun eating places and shops nearby and the lovely Barefoot cafe and shop round the corner. But very easy access to the centre of the city, Galle Face, markets, train station via tuk tuk for very little money.
