Guest Reviews

• V5575EVpraveenk (10/5): Great Stay in the Heart of Colombo! - I stayed at Juliana Hotel during my visit to Colombo and it was a wonderful experience. The location on Galle Road is excellent – very central, close to restaurants, shopping, and only a short drive to Galle Face and the main attractions of the city. The rooms are clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, offering great value whether you stay for a few hours or overnight. The staff were polite, helpful, and always available whenever I needed assistance. What I appreciated most was the convenience – easy check-in, straightforward service, and a safe, welcoming environment right in the heart of the city. If you’re looking for a budget-friendly hotel in Colombo with a great location and reliable service, I highly recommend Juliana Hotel. I will definitely stay here again on my next trip!
• Mohammad Fathi (8/5): - Room rate is little bit costly based on room condition.
• Thelge (2/5): Vist a Brothel - Not appropriate for a standard tourist to stay
• Verified traveler (2/5): 0/10 - First of all , the price of the hotel for what you get is ridiculous. The room was so outdated and no window to open for ventilation so therefore smelt awfully damp and was off putting whilst trying to sleep on the terribly, uncomfortable , lumpy , unclean bed , never slept on a bed as uncomfortable in my life. The TV did not work , the air conditioning was so loud I thought a plane was landing on the roof. The bathroom smelt like the sewers and looked like it hasn’t had an update since 1952. There is no wifi in the room but there is in the lobby but is so slow and useless there is no point trying to use it. And also there is designated smoking areas on each floor right next to bedrooms so can smell camel cigarettes being smoked all night. Overall would not recommend.
• claverie (2/5): - Je n ai pas l habitude de laisser un commentaire mais pour ici je le fais Hôtel qui sent l humidité Chambre qui sent mauvais Chambre qui a besoin d être entièrement refaite Salle de bain sale et l eau chaude ne fonctionne pas Clim qui fonctionne malgré son look délabré mais l air froid donne direct sur le visage qd on est au lit Lit tres grand (2x2) mais pas confortable J ai préféré dormir recroquevillé sur le canapé. J avais reservé 2 nuits. Je suis resté qu un soir. Pas de remboursement possible ou geste commercial de la direction A fuir !!!!!
• ajanthanj2024 (2/5): Stay away from this Hotel - Please stay away from this place !!! This is the worst place I have stayed, the rooms were dirty started Itching, the AC was leaking the whole night, the room was very dusty. If I would I would give a negative rating. Patches all over the wall, the water pressure in the washroom was low and rust and mold as you can see from the attached pictures. I would not recommend this to anyone. Not at all as described and the pictures online are very outdated.
• adhuhama (2/5): Terrible experience at Juliana hotel Colombo - My recent stay at Juliana Hotel in Colombo was unfortunately marred by various issues with the hotel's condition. The cleanliness of the room and toilet was exceptionally poor, with the added discomfort of finding bugs in the toilet. The air conditioner was both loud and noisy, and there was a persistent unpleasant odor in the room. Furthermore, several lights in the room were not working, and I noticed holes in the bedsheet. An inconvenience worth noting is that the hotel does not provide an iron or ironing service, so it's advisable to carry your own. My experience was disappointing to the point that I had to check out after just one night, even though I initially booked a three-night stay. On a more positive note, the staff at Juliana Hotel were friendly and accommodating, and the hotel's location was convenient. However, the hotel needs to urgently address the cleanliness and maintenance issues to provide a comfortable experience for its guests.
• Adhuham (2/5): - My recent stay at Juliana Hotel in Colombo left me with mixed feelings. The main concern was the overall condition of the hotel, which was disappointing. The cleanliness of the room and toilet was expressly poor, and I even encountered bugs in the toilet. The air conditioner was loud and noisy, contributing to an unpleasant experience. There was also a persistent bad smell in the room, and several lights were not working. To top it off, I noticed holes on the bedsheet. On a more positive note, the friendly staff and the hotel's good location were redeeming factors. However, the hotel needs to address the cleanliness and maintenance issues to offer a more comfortable experience for guests.
• Tharusha_Nethmin (10/5): Good place - It's really worth it with the location and it's easy to go everywhere. Very free place and the rooms were nice not only that Apart from an electric kettle, the other facilities were good, However, it was the best place to find for the price 😇👋🫂👣
• graf-wolfstein (6/5): Cheapest Hotel in Colombo - The location of the hotel is superb and the price can't be beat. It is beyond me how the hotel can run air conditioning in the rooms at this price. I don't understand why this hotel has so many bad reviews. Either the hotel is booked by people who are extremely stingy or who have to calculate with every single rupee. Regarding the nationalities of the guests, it must be said that you can't even rent a chicken coop for this price in their countries of origin. The hotel offers all the promised facilities such as attached bathroom, air conditioning, WIFI and TV. The hotel can only be criticized for not having a single room in the entire building, as shown on the hotels own website. At this price it must be clear to everyone that this is a very basic, run-down budget hotel and one cannot make any claims. If you have higher demands, you have to pay about three times as much in Colombo. If you have higher demands but don't have the necessary finances, you have to make do with hotels like the Juliana or don't come to Sri Lanka. My company booked the hotel for an employee as it is very well located for our business. After ouremployee had a look at the room, we immediately rebooked him to another hotel, but we won't be upset about that and won't give a bad review for the above reasons.
• samalp2021 (2/5): All lies. Never visit - This does not look like the pictures in the website at all. The worse place I have been to. The room is full of dirt. There were hair on the bed sheets, tiles in the room and the bathroom was broken. Smells really bad. I felt vomitish the moment I entered the room. As soon as I saw the room, I didn't want to stay. I wanted a refund. I didn't stay more than a minute there. When I told that to the manager, he sent a person to check the room. They were lying saying we used it. The worst service ever. The stuff was drunk and could smell them from a mile away. Never go with your family.
• Dino_Goa (2/5): Must AVOID - This place is a mismanaged chaotic entity. The whole hotel management needs a revamp and a proper class in hospitality. The rooms, restaurant, front desk all need a massive makeover, they have a Chinese management who don’t know how to treat guests.
• 236ellan (2/5): Did not stay for more than 10 minutes - Absolutely the worst hotel I have ever stayed on! Looks okey from the outside but when you get to you room it is absolutely disgusting. Insects everywhere! In the bed, walls, floors. Ac did not work either and there is no Wi-Fi. And the bathroom is even worse, so disgusting! We checked out after 10 minutes and changed hotel. Do not stay here!
• Farzansilenthero (4/5): Not Recommendable. - I booked this hotel for a night when I was shifting from Colombo to kandy. I was so tired packing and had a very late checkin. Not at all a organized hotel. Room, washroom and the lobby area smells very bad. Staff are not friendly or hospitalized, Their strict rule is no visitors allowed.Dirty linen, and patch all over the wall. I would never checkin to this hotel when they market it how actual it looks like.( don’t judge the hotel by its marketing photos). Bathroom needs really a good maintenance and the room too. Public area can look more nice than it is. Staff can practice more professional. I would not recommend this hotel for a rush night even. Simply waste of the money you pay. Atleast the bell boy helped carry the bags after requesting and paying. Advantages are this is located in a flexible point at the city center. Good room space, bathroom space and public area. Still thank you very much for you great job hotel Juliana team.
• Manfred (10/5): Perfect value for money - A very central, well run and managed and very liberal hotel. All rooms are air conditioned. Have huge TV. Hot water. And great restaurants and banks etc right next to it. Highly recommended!
• Manfred (8/5): Perfect location and best value for money - A modest but very central hotel. Very reasonable and great value for money
• Verified traveler (10/5): Good place and clean. - Good place and clean..
• damienindikaj (2/5): Absolute shocking to see this kind of a hotel - My entire life the most utterly guttred crapy hotel in the whole wide world, i was shocked the way it is maintain, the rooms were shocking, very old bed linen. Air condtioner never been repaired. water is leaking everywhere toliets never been cleaned and no soaps or bath jel at all. guys dont ever walk into this hotel ever. Youre better off sleep on the raod, much more cleaner than this hotel, The worst hotel I ever seen in the world.
• nafeeln (2/5): A very bad service - This hotel was one of the worst hotel i ever stayed. I recently saw some pics of this hotel and the rooms are beautiful. I was so happy to see such a hotel with some kinds of services. But unfortunately the services they provided and the the room was so dirty and not what i expected. Even the hotel has mentioned free wifi but when i asked the reception for password he said i should pay 500/- lkr for 3 GB. I was shocked and asked why should i pay money and its mentioned free wifi. He said that all just to attract people. From there onwards i was pissed of with the service. I never recommend such hotel to sri lankans or tourists. 1 main thing is people walks near to room around 2 am in the mid night in the coridoor and annoying with some kind of weird noises. That made me so uncomfortable. Please guys never go to this kind of places.
• Verified traveler (4/5): - Room had strong smell of smoke. Old, run down furniture and bed. Leaky toilet, stained fixtures. Bugs in room
• SENTHIL KUMAR (2/5): - Very bad experience in Juliana ,worst rooms no lights and half the time lift is not working , no restaurant also, very bad experience.
• minasilver2016 (4/5): not as good as it seems in first looks - we were very tired and try to find a hotel with good price. location is good but when you go inside, it seems a different place. staffs were nice and when we ask for laundry, they told they don't have these kind of services, but if we ask the servicemen, and if give them extra money, they can do it for us. as I got into the room, jumped in the bathroom, and when I tried to go out, the door was locked and after 5 minutes unlucky efforts, I call reception and they sent the key for us. you need to know there is no windows in some rooms, and if you want to smoke, you will need to go out of hotel. they have a foot Spa saloon next to the hotel.
• S (10/5): - Good location, helpful staff and first place i wasnt swamped with mosquitos. Would have loved a kettle though....
• FredNeMiller (10/5): Great Value for little money - A somewhat dated. Korean managed city centre hotel. But discreet. And everything is in the room. Incl. Huge TV and aircon. Staff and restaurant is also highly recommended. The location is ideal. Easy to walk anywhere
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Overall for the rate, I was very pleased with the hotel. Staff was very friendly and willing to help. My room was cleaned everyday. Had the basic amenities. Got fresh towels everyday. AC was old but worked like a charm so no complaints. Cons: There was a smell in the washroom that wouldn't go, and the bed mattress is very hard, you can feel the coils. But I didn't mind it much, and my son was good with it too. Overall very pleased and would stay here again.
• 161kerrih (4/5): Shabby and second rate - Air con didn't work properly, doors to the room wouldn't open easily from either side, This place has seen much better days. I wouldn't recommend it. The staff were pleasant and the location OK. Dreadful coffee and the snacks in the refrigerated cabinet sat there for days. Smoking was allowed in the cafe. My room didn't have any windows.
• Verified traveler (4/5): - It has seen much better days. it wasn't particularly clean. I had to ask to for a clean sheet on my bed. I would not recommend to anyone.
• Manfred (10/5): Top choice - Perfect. Big bed. Crisp white linen. Cool aircon. Amazing value for money
• Verified traveler (10/5): Perfect value - The very best value for money Hotel in the very centre of Colombo. Discreet. Efficient. We love the Juliana. Although it's a bit.. 🤔 Dated
• Sudath (2/5): Very BAD 👎 - Condition of this property is very bad😖 very bad experience don’t understand why Hotels.com referring this kind of hotels to customers very disappointed 👎
• 974_reunionisland (2/5): Better elsewhere - It’s a abandoned place that smells humidity and cigaret smoke. We found a few cigaret butts on the floor of the hotel. We had worms in the bathroom. They decide to clean at 7am. The mattress was hard. Wouldn’t go there again.
• Manfred (10/5): Best value in Central Colombo - Although in certain need of serious renovation and refurbishment. The centrally located Juliana is the best value for money hotel for miles around. Discreet. Well equipped. And also perfect if you enjoy Korean food
• Verified traveler (2/5): - I had to check in early since I reached the hotel bit early than the actual check in time. They made us to wait for 2 hours in lobby even thought they had room available on that time. Front desk staff said, that's their policy we have to wait till 7am till second shift in order them to release the room.. It's totally unbelievable and poor service for their guest..
• kobibu99 (4/5): no value gor your money - Advantages: location, spacious room. Disadvantages: An old hotel that urgently needs renovation. The room was clean but the shower looked awful. There was a leak of water from the toilet. There is no closet to hang clothes. Please note that when ordering you are registered whether the internet is free or not because they will require additional payment for wifi. The staff was nice and courteous. In the bottom linr there is no value for your money.
• jacob (6/5): - the room was spacious. the stuff was kind. the location is very good. the hotel.must repair. old property, water was drop from the toilt, no closet to put things. to kettkle to make coffee. notice they wanted charge me extrae price on the wi fi till i show them my order it was in free.
• 742ralpht (8/5): Good Value Close to Everything - Stayed Christmas 2018 at the Juliana and found it more than adequate for the price. The front desk staff speaks English and were very helpful. Located on Colombo Galle Road there are many excellent reasonable restaurants close. It is a short tuk tuk ride too Galle Face Green and busy Pettah isn't far.
• Verified traveler (4/5): Eh - Room was filthy, bed was rock hard. WiFi isn’t free. smoking is allowed in the lobby. Clean towels. Nice people at the desk. Location not bad for price.
• gtfcbe (2/5): Not interested to say, very bad experience !!!! - Hotel is not good. Not Properly maintained. No room service. No Fi-wi inside the room. Room was very bad condition. Housekeeping was very very bad. I had a worst experience. Don't recommend to any one.
• X1485JXthemistery (6/5): Average - View from the room.Friendly staff.Comfortable Bed. They didn't had wine glasses.Hairdryer didn't worked.Need more maintenance issue.Cleaning up of the room should be improved, found dust and hairs all around the room and the bathroom.
• Niya80x (6/5): Holiday - The hotel is good and the staff also very friendly. They have to improve the rooms and the other facilities. The hotel is not maintained well I guess. But the environment including staff is very friendly.
• lynshaa (4/5): Bad attitude of the staff - The place seemed alright despite the not so clean washrooms, until I saw the bad attitude of the staff.They really don't know how to talk a person.My entire family has decided never to go there again.
