Guest Reviews

• Cory (10/5): - Good hotel
• Chandrakanthan (10/5): - Nice place to stay
• Verified traveler (2/5): - I will not recommend this hotel not worth for the money spend Except the location every thing terrible
• Mithula (10/5): - The staff and management are excellent. The breakfast is outstanding. They have 24 hour rooms serving. The location is very central to most places in Colombo. The hotel is very safe. Rooms are very comfortable and spacious
• Mitra (2/5): Very dissatisfied - Took them 7 hours to provide hair dryer & 5 hours for housekeeping to show up! Check out is at 12 & since 10 they started twice to call & show up at the door to remind check out time as if it’s the first time being in hotel !! Very unhappy with the management & how they dealt with their returning customer. Stayed there few times & just once when I needed to change a booking that I only made an hour earlier from full night to half day they didn’t agree! Fear of making 20£ less one time they lost a customer all together.
• Mitra (2/5): Won’t be returning there again - Took them 7 hours to provide hair dryer & 5 hours for housekeeping to show up!

• ASLAM (10/5): family trip - Staying with family and the place is clean and safe, Also the area is main heart of the city which is walkable to MC and near cafe shops, even malls.
• Pranav Kumar (6/5): Find a better alternative! - The hotel is definitely overpriced! Cleanliness lacks. basic amenities like faulty air con was a put off! However, mr tushaar was helpful to move us to a better room quickly. There were dead cockroaches here and there. Though the lobby is renovated, poor flooring and dirty worn out rugs in the room corridors disappoint. The ocean view is the saving grace but the busy road in front and frequent trains passing by makes it noisy. Breakfast was decent but nothing wow!
• Mohamed (6/5): - Overall condition of the property not satisfactory. Dusty & rusty condition. Other than that friendly staff & service commendable. Food was nice. Access to transport is good. All other external amenities were in close range Value for money 80%
• R1 (4/5): - Extremely bad cleanness and highen concerns. Friends wishing to stay here are requested to carry their own vacuum cleaners and brooms.
• Verified traveler (6/5): - Overall, I was disappointed with this property. There were some plus points: The management staff were excellent. The GM Dr. Shobhit and the manager Yusuf. They were both very friendly and willing to accommodate. They made effort to continuously improve which I appreciate. Another plus is the rooms are large which helps with large families. Also the kitchen staff and waiters were accommodating and they continuously improved breakfast. However, the property is unfortunately not up to par. The pictures online are not representative of actuality. The rooms, while large, were not clean. The rest of the property is also not clean. Looks old and worn down. Elevators are dirty. The bathrooms in the rooms were hopeless. None of the showers drained properly. My taps were loose. The bathrooms were never cleaned properly. Finally, the worst thing about the rooms is they are not at all sound-proof. Felt like the windows were made of paper. The property is in front the railway, and you will hear the trains as if they are passing through your own room. The property needs to invest in sound-proofing! The staff at the front desk are not helpful. Alifa in particular was rude and not friendly. Finally the most important part is value. The price we paid was not worth it. I could have paid the same or less and stayed in a better 5 star property such as Cinnamon Grand or The Kingsbury, or Platinum 1 Suites. Next time I would stay at those properties instead.
• Murtaza (10/5): - Overall a good experience. I would stay here again.
• Verified traveler (4/5): Nobody should go there - Pathetic.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Panaromic view was good. Flooring was not good and shower water flowed outside in the dry area which was not expected
• TERENCE SHANE (8/5): Awesome stay - Family loved the spacious room. Location too was convenient for places to visit around Colombo. Good scenic view of the ocean.
• Woo (8/5): Great Ocean view - Great view of the Ocean if you get the balcony class. Convenient location. with quite a lot of eating places. Getting to the Colombo Fort and any location is also easy using the uber ot tuk tuk. Only pull back is the room fixtures getting old. Generally a good hotel.
• Jade (2/5): Very old hotel not well maintained - The hotel room we had (after we changed rooms as it wasn't the room type we booked) was very old and in much need of repair (as was the first room too in fact). None of the blinds in the room worked so had to stay down (unable to take advantage of the ocean view room), had large holes and were falling down letting light stream into the bedroom. Other issues with cleanliness of the kitchenette and bathroom as well. The website says a self-service laundry is available but despite travelling with a baby staff insisted a laundry was not available for guests. Decking around the pool was poorly maintained and actually quite dangerous. The hotel provided free drinking water which we were grateful for.
• VIJAYAKUMAR (10/5): Nice view of the beach the best place to stay - Nice view of the beach the best place to stay the food simply super nice calm nice breeze good space it's a big place and If I am coming back to Sri Lanka for me no choice it's Ocean Edge ........
• Getsy (4/5): Cockroach & Bugs - I was definitely NOT pleased! The carpet was smelly, the bathroom was leaky and had a cockroach. My friend woke up with red spots on her back and face. I presume it came from the mattress or the room itself was infested.. There was no hand shower in the wash room. The hotel staff didnt understand the meaning of travel adapter. There were few good things, but I don't think they matter against these bad experiences. We came to the room only to crash at night, so talking about it to the staff to change sheets and clean the toilets made no sense - as we were pressed for time. Definitely disappointing!
• Palitha (8/5): Hotel with nice pool and fitness - Nice hotel located on the marina drive with parking facilities and friendly staff. Room needs refurbished with new bathroom and windows and curtains etc.
• Rob (6/5): Needs some updating. - Whilst I was basically happy staying at Ocean Edge, the rooms are dated and not what many travellers from Europe or Australasia might expect. In my particular suite, Ocean Panorama, neither the toilet button or bath plug button worked properly. The bathroom was either unkempt, aged or dirty. Room cleaning staff were young males, very polite, friendly and helpful. Room cleaning or tidying was, however, fairly cursory. Reception staff were more or less either unwelcoming or passive. I was not ‘welcomed’ at any time during my stay, notwithstanding the reception area adjoins the lifts. Breakfast buffet was varied and tasty. Breakfast room staff were, again, either somewhat friendly or passive. On departure at 4.30am, the night reception staff member asked if I had used any of the fridge contents, Mars bar and some drinks to a value of less than $10, and I said no. The contents had been checked each day in any event. The reception staff member then phoned someone to check if my statement was true and I had to wait for some poor chap to access the room and make sure I wasn’t telling untruths. No ‘I hope you enjoyed your stay. Please come again. Etc.’
• chief (10/5): Nice hotel,long way from airport,great rooms - Clean, friendly,nice view its a long way from the airport but a good part of town make shur you Get the right taxi the driver took me to a hotel that sounded like it had to pay more for a new taxi to Get me there good breakfast buffet but include it in your reservatio. It cost more if you dont..
• ng (8/5): My stay at Ocean Edge - The rooms was relatively big and very clean. A small family can comfitably fit in. The hotel is close to the Galle road. Food is easily accessible nearby the hotel.
• cathy (6/5): Decent suite near the water and convenient to the - The hotel and staff were wonderful. The breakfast buffet was good, but the in-room menu and food was terrible. At checkout make sure and scrutinises your bill... the restaurant tried to charge for meals not eaten. Overall the room was comfy especially the bed...
• Verified traveler (8/5): The staff was extremely nice and accommodating. - Me and my family really had a great time at the Ocean edge. The staff was nice and helpful. The location was great and convenient. We ordered food from the hotel a couple of times, the cost was reasonable and the food was good. Some areas that I would recommend the hotel puts more attention to, would be the cleanliness of the bathroom.
• Lala (4/5): It is not a 4 star, at most 3 star - The WIFI lacks security. The breakfast is good
• Samy (6/5): Basic hotel by beach on very busy railway & road - Everything is out of order from jagguzi in the swimming pool, bathroom tub & toilet flusher. The panoramic suite (which is the more expensive category) was very noisy as it overlooked the main ocean busy road & railway lines (as the trains was running in both directions every couple of minutes).
• Sarah (6/5): City stay - We stayed for 3 nights (the first night to deal with our jet lag!) and the other 2 to look around Colombo - 1 night is enough for this! We also took the train to Kandy which was a great family experience! The hotel is basic but very comfortable and the staff are very accommodating.
• Jegie (4/5): Poor Service and Maintenance but Good Location. - Overall maintenance of the room is very poor - cupboards falling off hinges, shower flooding the bathroom, fridge in the room not working, door latch broken,blinds on the windows broken, 2 stove induction plate in the kitchen not working, no kitten utensils for cooking and cups and saucers not adequate. The standard of service was poor - airport pick up booked and confirmed in writing and did not happen ( Hotel manager apologised and compensated with a free airport drop off ), all complaints of the maintenance issues in the room was ignored and not fixed for the duration of my 1 week stay. The quality of towels in the bathroom was poor. Lobby area is tiny, onsite restaurant is basic, breakfast is very average and service is slow and cumbersome at all times.
• Satish (6/5): Disappointing hotel - I was very disappointed, to find that there was no beach or beach front at this hotel. In fact there was a railway track right in front of the hotel, with noisy trains running, day and night. Looking out from the balcony I was above a very noisy road as well, and because of the train and traffic noise, it was not nice to sit out there. The restaurant, served good variety of food, but needs a lot of improvement. The Sri Lankan food was very spicy and near impossible to eat! The indoor swimming pool Is not heated, and was very cold, not nice to use. It is surrounded by ugly buildings and has no sun what's so ever. Having been to other 4 star hotels, I would definitely not rate this hotel a 4 star. More likely a 2/3 star.
• Harish (2/5): Very disappointing and lost $600 - I made booking of 2 rooms considering it is a 4 star, it is not even a single star. The reception appeared to be dingy and the entrance to hotel was narrow with a shady atmosphere, so we made a decision on the spot not to stay despite losing around $600, hope there is a way to claim a refund. Message to everyone please don't make the same mistake and avoid booking this hotel.
• SC (8/5): Only partial view on Studio - Only partial view on Studio, Expedia did not provide that information. The hotel is slightly inside a lane (which is fine, since many such hotels have that kind of access). Safety is not an issue.
• Verified traveler (8/5): Smart hotel with good staff - Very nice hotel. Nicely presented, with pleasant staff, especially the pool/gym attendant. Good breakfast with a range of options. Must be new as tuk-tuk drivers do not know where it is.
• Nitin (8/5): Fake advertising - While booking this hotel, in.hotel advertised free upgrades of room, free wine bottle and discount on food and beverage. Nothing such at this property. Disappointed with in.hotel completely... Fake promises...
• Olov (8/5): A recommended hotel - I've stayed at this hotel a few times now and I think I'll keep coming back. It's good value for money. It's a very low key place but in a good way. Discreet even. Rooms are nice, some of the views are really good. Great beds! Staff is nice. Indian restaurant on the first floor is maybe a bit boring at first glance (why didn't they put it on the rooftop? There is nothing on the rooftop floor...) but the food is good. Pool area is a bit underwhelming. It should've been on the rooftop one would think, but it's on the first floor as well. All in all, a recommended hotel!
• Verified traveler (8/5): Nice Hotel By the ocean. - Clean place to settle after a long day of fun and relaxation..
• Tor (6/5): An avreagere Hotel in a lousy area - Lot of Thingstad did not work in our rom, but nice staff. Restaurant was a pleasant surprise. Small pool and training room ok
• Verified traveler (8/5): Very Good Hotel - I would extremely recommend this hotel . Very nice location... big room
• Kathy (8/5): Standard hotel in Colombo - This hotel is in a convenient location in Colombo. Bus nearby and tuk tuk travel is inexpensive. Staff were not always helpful and we had to ask to have our room cleaned. This is a train track in front of the hotel that might be distracting to some. I just used ear plugs. The restaurant in the bar had limited selection of drinks. Many types of beer listed on menu but they only had one - the entire 3 days we were there.
• Verified traveler (8/5): nice hotel in the middle of the city - hotel room was clean ... staff was friendly ... close to all the city places. balcony was a little dirty
• John (8/5): Great room, need to fix the bathrooms - A little bit away from things, but compenstated by the spacious rooms. The room was clean, but the bathroom was very small and the drain smelt.
• Ranjeet (6/5): plain Jane - There is nothing wrong with the hotel the rooms are clean and large (I had a large suite) with two TVs a kitchen and a study area. The room overlooked the sea and it was lovely hearing crashing waves. The trains honking early in the morning was a bit disturbing but manageable. The breakfast was basic and it checked off all the basic boxes with eggs, savories, fruit and local food nothing elaborate all basic but not bad. The is a small pool covered pool if you want to wade in some water. The view from the pool was also nice. Now for the bad part – it’s a nothing hotel there is a non-existent lobby no one has heard of the place there is nothing premium or plush everything is just ok. The drivers will get lost looking for this place even though it’s in a premium location, and it’s not cheap. this is the worst part if you’re looking for a deal (I always am) or if you’re looking for a hidden gem that will give you value for money then this is not the place. You get a little less than what you paid for and you will be left wanting more. This is one of those places that you come back to sleep – you won’t see anyone in the hotel and there is nothing to do in the hotel as well. So if you want to keep to your own self-contained room then this might be a good choice for you but It somehow did for me.
• Tatsunori (8/5): Ocean view and karge room - I stayed one night. Easy access to No. 11, national musium and ODEL shopping mall by tuku-tuku. I booked a room with ocean view and it was nice view from 8 floors. The room consists of bed room, living room and dining room with kitchen and refrigerator. It will also be helpful to stay for a long time. The staffs are very kind and will help you anything. The restaurant can enjoy delicious Sri Lankan /Indian dishes.
• Ruchit (10/5): Comfortable stay and friendly staff - Very comfortable. Went there with my wife and 20 months old kid. Staff was really good and stay was comfortable. A good place to stay when you have small kids. Booked tours from the hotel as well which were well arranged.
• Ashish (8/5): Great spacious rooms well located - Good size hotel apartment
• Pranab (8/5): Was a good experience - It was a very good experience but as I was on business tour the hotel could add certain other facilities for business travellers like meeting room , business centre etc.
• sasidharan (8/5): Excellant selection at the given price. - Except the outside view, everything was excellent. Outside view was very shabby. Slums like structures. Even though we have booked for 3 persons, tea bags, sugar, creamer, cups etc. was only for 2 persons. Even after requesting, they have promised that they will provide but it remained as a promise.
• alaskahobbes (6/5): No view-but staff is amazing - Expedia needs to change the description of the hotel. It says room with a view, but there are only about 8-10 rooms that face the ocean and these are the suites. However, we expressed our frustration with the misleading description and some other problems with the booking (all on Expedia's end) and were given a room with ocean view. The staff worked hard to please us. The food is amazing and the staff helpful. If you have a family and need a stove and large refrigerator this is an excellent choice. However the hotel is difficult to find, it is on a major road and it is an older building surrounded by dilapidated buildings. Only the suites have a view and for the price there are better options closer to the city.
• Galvin (6/5): - customer service from receptionist should be improved. need to smile more. On one instance, I was shocked when the hotel receptionist by the name of Ralf, exited the lift before all the other customers inside.
• Verified traveler (8/5): nice hotel - spacious room, room service was good, had a pleasant stay
