We checked into the hotel on 31st noon, while we were having a beer at the pool bar we saw staff work so hard to arrange the setup for the night then in the early evening rain started so they have to rearrange their entire event inside the hotel huge challenge but they manage this well, 31st event very well organized.

This hotel is one of the best hotels we have stayed in. The staff are courteous, knowledgeable and helpful. The food was exceptional in Sri Lanka..The beach is excellent especially early in the morning. When we return to Colombo we will certainly be staying at the Mount Lavinia hotel.

The coffee, dinner at the Governors restaurant or in Terrace was exceptional from 04PM to 7PM. The sunset the busy city, and turning of lights are amaizing and makes royal calmness. Happy to bump to our wedding coordinator who is a director there now (@athilamendis). Always recommend for a quiet long tea in terrace & business discussion.

This is a huge hotel, and presumably has suffered a lack of investment due to low tourist numbers because of lockdowns and other problems - hence some of the complaints in other reviews - but it looks as though investment is now happening. Our room was in very good condition, spacious and clean, and well-equipped. We had a great view along the public beach and spent ages watching all the photo-shoots which were taking place on the beach. The restaurant was very good and offered a great selection of food. One tip I would offer is to check all the food areas before starting to eat dinner - I did not realise that the internal area had a lot of salad and sushi options as well as desserts, until after I had had my main course! Dining outside is an option, but it was too hot for us so we ate inside. Live music was being played on the terrace. Breakfast was also good, although I had trouble getting a cup of coffee: when I got up and went over to get my own, staff suddenly appeared from nowhere, berating me for using the machine and shouting that this coffee was chargeable, and without giving me the option to pay, a waiter pressed the "cancel" button; not the best start to the day. There is a comfortable lounge area with a bar, close to reception. The private beach to the south of the hotel is beautiful.

This hotel was an easy walk from the Mt Lavinia railway station where we alighted from our special traon. Service was fine but the rooms, while with good WiFi, do need refurbishment. The bed was too firm though I write as a Westerner. Many subcontinental Asians might disagree. Aircon was quite noisy. The pool lacked shade so on a one night stay I did not use. The hotel has loads of colonial history. Buffets were fine. The hotel has a private yellow sand beach.

Sadly this hotel has been allowed to go from bad to worse. We have been coming to this hotel for the past 35 years. Fond memories of the children playing in the pool & enjoying the sumptuous buffets. Unfortunately only a handful of the old faithful staff now trying to keep the service going to name Camilus & kumari (restaurant). Anura (house keeping). The breakfast buffet is a sad spectacle with empty containers. The tables are not cleaned between guests. Fresh fruit counter is poorly stocked. The room was in desperate need of refurbishing. On a positive note ‘still’ love the stunning views. Management please do not let this iconic landmark hotel go to ruin. You owe it to us your faithful guests who will always want to spend time at this beautiful (once) hotel.

Very nice old hotel with a lot of potential. The stuff is very kind and helpful. The suites we got were very big, with a beautiful ocean view. The food and restaurant are great with a beautiful view. The beach is great and not crowded, a beach bar is missing only, but it seems they are making one now. They should invest in the hallways and rooms.
