    No room service, and food was average.

    The beautiful infinity pool overlooking the city is the highlight of this stay. The rooftop bar also offers excellent city views, and good cocktails.

    I like most everything about this hotel - really comfortable beds, well appointed rooms, great views, the pool and the restaurant. An oasis in the middle of Colombo!

    The Hotel was very clean and the stuff was very friendly. The location is perfect, if you want to be in the city but still a little bit outside of traffic. Would recommend and stay definitely again! The food buffet was delicious! Totally worth the price!

    this is the best place to live when you visit Colombo. I tried a couple of other places but they didn’t match cinnamon red. awesome location and rooms with view of the city and water. the food was superb and price was okay. all taxis and Tuk Tuk know the place so easy commuting. staff were very friendly. one of my best indeed.

    We stayed there just for one night but it was really a great hotel. especially the roof top pool and the breakfast are amazing. The service was also very good and the staff was very helpful regarding any kind of questions. We also highly recommend to eat dinner in the hotel. It's a little bit more expensive related to other restaurants but it's worth.

    I am nit picking but they were no biscuits. I would be nice to have small packets of biscuits or Sri Lankan snacks.

    Very clean and the house keeping do a great job to maintain cleanliness. Helpful and friendly staff . Lovely pool although I didn't get a chance to use it. Would love to stay again.

    Comfortable business hotel

    We stayed two nights in Cinnamon Red and this was a perfect beginning of our holiday. A 8-score isn't quite right for Cinnamon Red; a 8.5-score should be more appropriate. Not quite a 9 though.

    Having read in many reviews that check-in could be quite stressful at Cinnamon Red, I was nervous when I arrived. Check-in went smoothly and quickly. Though I had to protest when the front desk staff asked if we agreed to a twin-room instead of a double. I made it clear that I much preferred to wait a couple of hours (it was 11am so too early for official check-in) and get the right room. The manager immediately found a solution and gave us a beautiful double room on the 24th floor. I read in a review that guests were put off by the security screening every time you go in. I must agree that it doesn't make you feel very welcome. However, as I was in Colombo in 2019 just one day before the terrible terrorist attacks on churches and hotels I found these security measures most reassuring. Cinnamon Red Colombo is a business hotel, not a tourist resort. The room is perfectly adequate for those who have to work in Colombo. We had a fantastic view from our bedroom window and enjoyed it greatly. We positively relished the very effective light blocking curtains which enabled us to rest after such a long flight. The rooftop swimming pool was very enjoyable for an early morning dive. The rooftop bar was pleasant but could have been more cosy. Breakfast and dinner buffet were served in the same restaurant. Nothing particularly fancy but the food was great with an enormous variety. The western/continental breakfast part could do with a bit more care but was good enough for me. The Srilankan breakfast was great with egg hoppers, string hoppers, many curries and more. The location is pretty convenient if one wants to visit the national museum. The staff were mostly well trained and helpful. Because of a curfew the day we left Cinnamon Red, we had some trouble finding a way to travel to Galle. The staff at the front desk were most helpful in finding a taxi for us and printing documents that the taxi driver could show at check-points.

    Room was clean and comfortable with everything we needed. Staff were efficient and friendly. The rooftop pool area was really stunning and we enjoyed tapas and drinks at the rooftop bar. Location was convenient for the few local sights we wanted to see and handy for airport transfer the next morning.
