Okay hotel if it wasn't for the new porr

The hotel's charm was deminished by the new Colombo port being built at the end of the infinity pool, which truely made it feel finite for the hotel. Though lovely inside, the staff would not address my partner through her gender alone. Lovely hotel, though do expect to pay London prices.

Lovely and comfortable

I stayed at the Kingsbury on the last night of 3 weeks of backpacking around Sri Lanka. I cold cloth on arrival and a nice porter took the bags to the room. The 1st receptionist, porter and doorman in the lobby were the only 3 members of staff that were polite. The first place (out of 10) that we didn't get a welcome juice. The bed was very comfortable, feather pillows .......... bliss. Lovely toiletries and tea and coffee making facility in the room. There should be a shower in the pool area. My daughter was asked 3 times for her room number while sitting by the pool. Seemed strange as we had been sitting at the pool cafe and charged food and drinks to our room. It is expensive for food and drinks. Afternoon tea and breakfast were good. Plenty of choice. We organised an airport transfer, that got a bit confused at the time of booking and when it came to leave. Ignore the pretentiousness and it's a lovely hotel.

Beautiful hotel, shame about the view!

This hotel has lovely helpful staff, lots of facilities and good restaurants but unfortunately for them the sea view has been wrecked by a major building project with lorries and bull dozers moving huge boulders around and piling them up right in front of the hotel spoiling the view of the sea. The Dutch Hospital is just arpund the corner so location is good as long as you're not bothered by the view! The Skybar on the roof is fabulous!

Perfekte Lage. Hervorragendes Frühstück. Zimmer alles was man braucht. Bin nicht Liebhaber von Teppichen in tropischem Gebiet. Freundliches Personal. Wohnte oft hier, als es noch ein Intercontinental Hotel war. Soweit das Positive. Musste beim Check-in über 1,5 Std. warten, da meine frühzeitig gemachte und bezahlte Reservation nicht auffindbar war. Jegliche Konsumationen musste ich sogleich bezahlen. Deshalb Konsumationen nur auswärts. Wohnte Poolseitig. Absolute Katastrophe. Fenster sind nicht schallgedämpft. Bis vor Mitternacht jeden Abend Diskoparty am Pool. Im Zimmer 65 Dezibel gemessen. Lesen, geschweige denn schlafen, vergiss es. Ohne Lärm empfehlenswert. Gibt hervorragende Alternativen in CMB.

Staff was very helpful. Food outlets in the hotel outstanding. Unfortunately some of the official pictures are misleading. The beach area that used to be in front of the hotel no longer exists. There is a lot of construction work going on which however was not disturbing to me.

Hotel mit Baustellenlärm

Sehr schöne SkyBar! Ausblick vom Pool nicht aufs Meer - sondern auf Steinhaufen:( Viel Baustellenlärm! Als internationales Hotel sollte ich als Frau auch gegrüßt werden, nicht bloß mein Sohn:(
