Guest Reviews
- S (10/5): - I had a great stay at Tropic Inn, much because of the resident manager Thuan and his lovely staff. They really went above and beyond to accommodate for their guests, and always had the kindest smiles! The location is great as there are so many restaurants and shops nearby, as well as just a short walk to the beach. Wifi is stable and good, and they have a solid menu if you want to dine in. Rooms are comfortable with both ACs and fans. Really good value for money, and will definitely stay again if going back to Mount Lavinia. All was great
- CK (1/5): - There was a clear miscommunication regarding the requirement for local guests to provide both national identity documents. No proper communication was given by the hotel management prior to check-in, which caused unnecessary inconvenience and confusion. It would be much better if the hotel clearly informed guests about all mandatory identification requirements in advance to ensure a smoother experience.
- sadeesh (8/5): - Got a double room, It was decent, clean. But feels like it is small. but ok.
- Sherrard (8/5): -
- Anna (10/5): - Aufenthalt über 3 Nächte. Die Lage ist top - nur 5 Min Fußweg zum wunderschönen Mount Lavinia Beach. Das Preis-Leistungsverhältnis ist sehr gut und das Hotel ist sehr modern eingerichtet. Das Personal war MEGA-freundlich und hat mir immer ein TukTuk in die Stadt innerhalb von wenigen Minuten besorgt. Mit dem TukTuk ist man in 20 Minuten in der Innenstadt und ich habe es sehr genossen, schnell in der City zu sein und gleichzeitig abseits vom Trubel der Großstadt entspannt zu übernachten.
- Kavinda (10/5): - Comfort and friendly staff than i expected Nothing
- Arthur (8/5): -
- Stanislav (10/5): - Останавливались тут дважды. Небольшой, но уютный отель в колониальном стиле. В номере есть все необходимое: полотенца, мыльные принадлежности, кондиционер, вентилятор. Персонал внимательный. Второй раз мы приехали на день раньше брони, и нас без проблем заселили.
Отдельно хочу отметить ресторан отеля: помимо национальной кухни в нем имеются блюда европейской кухни и морепродукты, всë очень вкусно приготовлено, и по сравнению с ценами в других ресторанах - недорого
- Nimal (7/5): - Very good
- Nimal (8/5): Great little hotel in Mt Lavinia - Good size, clean, ensuited rooms with a fridge and kettle. Staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Very minor complaint - the foyer, hallways and shared areas were hot.
- Imran (8/5): -
- Dinesh (10/5): - Yeah.everything is great.Especially the staff so nice.
- Craig (10/5): Very comfortable and convenient at a great price. - Great location a short walk rom the beach. Very easy to get tuk-tuks to go further afield. Really helpful and friendly staff. Didn't try the restaurant but it looked good. Price was excellent value. Nothing.
- Erick (10/5): Emplacement idéal et hôtel bien tenu - Très bien situé à 200 mètres de la plage. Chambre avec tout le confort. Personnel accueillant. Ma chambre avait une fenêtre qui donnait sur un mur. Un peu flippant à l’arrivée.

- MelzD (1/5): Do not book this place! - Nothing absolutely appalling service. Made a booking and advised them of late arrival time which they confirmed via message. Arrived at hotel at 1.30am after a 12hr flight to be told they don't have a booking for me. Young chap in reception didn't have any idea & then the manager came who was just rude beyond words. Left with having to find alternative accomodation at 2AM as a solo female traveller. Appalling service do not book this place.

- Rohita (10/5): Sauber und gemütlich - Sauber und gemütlich. Klimaanlage vorhanden. Spinnweben an den hohen Decken.
- MR. RAJA (8/5): -
- Husham (7/5): - Staffs were friendly and welcoming and it's easy as it has a dinning area in the hotel.
- MITCHELL (10/5): Very good, would stay again! - The staff were really professional and very nice to talk with, the inroom dining was great, food was really good and didn't have to wait long before staff brought my meals!
Very close to beach, and a short walk to Galle rd for shops, very easy to get a tuk outside hotel as the street is well used for beach access and other hotels!
- Jubaraj (7/5): Not bad - Location is not good Locations is not so good
- Pallage Thushara (10/5): Great Place to stay for activities around South Colombo, Moratuwa and Panadura. - We stayed there for 10 days. Great room, we operated from the hotel for activities around Colombo and Panadura. Initially booked for 4+3 days and later extended for a total of 10 days - staff and room comfort were excellent! A/C was great after Colombo hear and humidity. Water pressure and hot water are also great. Nothing.
- Alex (10/5): - Это было наше первое месторасположения на Шри-Ланке. Небольшой номер в отеле встретил нас чистотой и уютом. На удивление, всё необходимое поместилось: шкаф для одежды с полками и вешалками, в нём также есть сейф, маленький, но вместительный холодильник, чайник и кружки, прикроватный тумбы с МЕГАудобными светильниками (за это моя отдельная благодарность) над ними, зеркало с большой полкой, которою мы использовали для хранения нашего багажа. В номере были три бутылки с водой, несколько видов чая и кофе, а также сахар и сухие сливки. Ванная комната просторная (5 кв.м как минимум). Ни с напором, ни с температурой воды проблем не возникало. Полотенца чистые, как и постельное.
По сути Маунт-Лавиния - это пригород Коломбо. Улицы здесь достаточно оживленные, но улица, на которой расположен отель, оживала только в выходные (по ней пролегает наикратчайший путь к пляжу). Но звук с улицы нам не мешал, т.к. окна плотно закрываются. На окнах не только портьеры, но и тюль, что приятно удивило. На один из ужинов посетили и ресторан, который находится на первом этаже отеля, цены приемлемые, но что ели - уже и не вспомню (значит, блюда не зацепили). Более менее вкусно поели на пляже, в кафе у Fernando. Пляж скорее для фото (и то нужно искать место без мусора), чем для купания (сильные волны в середине декабря и песчаный полуметровый перепад, вымытый океаном). Отсюда удобно добираться в Канди на экскурсии, местных гидов можно встретить также на пляже. Чтобы пройти в ванную, приходилось обходить третью кровать. Пыль со светильника у кровати вытирали сами.

- Benny (7/5): Underlig Residence Manager - Läget och relativt god standard En Residence Manager som var helt förvirrad och dålig arbetsledare, inte bra mot personalen, en olämplig chef.
Resultatet blev ett ostädat rum under 5 dagar, efter 3 dgr fick jag säga till Residence Manager om påfyllning av thé och kaffe samt vatten och toapapper, fick då det.av personal som sa att det var Residence Manager som stoppade dem från service och att han ville ha mutor från gästerna
- Harish (10/5): -
- Heidi (10/5): Clean, comfortable rooms within walking distance of the beach - The facilities were clean, modern, and comfortable. Staff were friendly and willing to offer assistance. The hotel is also within an easy walk of the beach, which allowed our group to go for a refreshing early morning swim. Overall, would highly recommend! I didn't have this issue in my room, but a few members of our group noted that the soundproofing between their rooms was low. This only seemed to be an issue in a couple rooms.
- Black (9/5): Better Experience - Safe Place & valuable for money Can’t enjoy outsides or beach views
- Moufeed (8/5): Very good stay. - Location was very convenient and a very clean property. Nothing

- Rachel (8/5): - Our stay at Tropic Inn, Mount Lavinia, was comfortable and pleasant from start to finish. The property has a homely atmosphere and is conveniently located just a short walk from the beach and nearby restaurants.
The rooms were clean, tidy, and well-equipped with everything we needed. The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful - always greeting us with warm smiles and making sure we felt right at home.
It’s a great place to relax, explore Mount Lavinia, or enjoy a peaceful beachside getaway. We truly appreciated the hospitality and would be happy to stay here again!
- Ishan (10/5): - Worth for many, its better than some 5 star hotels also Wash room door lock broken
- Georgina (8/5): -
- Rayees (9/5): Nice staff at Tropic Inn - The staff at Tropic Inn Hotelwere great. They were very helpful in answering our queries about the places we wanted to go and see. We enjoyed our short time here.
The hotel is also quietly tucked away and only 5 minutes walk from the hotel. Also about 20 minute tuck tuck ride into columbo city centre. All easy getting around and near the local train station.
Afsana and Ray I could have done with more space in the bedrooms and a chair in the room would have been useful but I guess all bedrooms were same size.
- janith (9/5): - Very comfort place for stay...
- Myron (9/5): I will definitely be back. - Staff were excellent. Eager to please. Rooms comfortable and clean. It would be nice to have air conditioning in the public areas, but at the same time prefer keeping costs low.

I had a wonderful stay — the hotel was spotless and very budget-friendly. The staff were incredibly friendly, attentive, and always wore a smile.
