I stayed at the Kingsbury for one night and it was a great experience. Check-in was speedy and the staff were informative and kind. My favorite experience was dining in at the Ocean seafood restaurant. The food and cocktails were made with love. Will be back soon

Pretentious stuffy hotel with high security
A luxury hotel it may be, but a comfortable and relaxing place to stay it is not. The hotel swarms with over officious staff who follow your every move. We arrived, well dressed with small rucksacks , as our luggage was being forwarded. Check in took 25 minutes as desk staff, answered phone and attended other guests whilst booking us in. We were approached by staff twice on way to our room, enquiring if they could ' help', it felt like they were checking on us! We went to sit by the pool, and were questioned by three different members of staff as to if we were guests, and even returned to check our room number! Security is tight & guests are certainly under observation. Perhaps this is to be expexpected as the hotel appears to accommodate the 'bling and business' class. Definitely not a place to relax in.

Excellent service
I had a wonderful stay in Kingsbury Colombo Hotel. This is a five star property & truly lives upto its name. The rooms are spacious with nice view of the cityscape & the sea. Room service is amazing with really cordial hotel staffs. House keeping did wonderful job. In room dining menu should have bit more variety & check out took longer than expected. Apart from these 2 points rest everything was perfect. Would definitely recommend this hotel.
