This hotel has an old worldly charm about it. The buffet at breakfast and dinner is incredible and the staff very pleasant. A lovely touch having someone play the piano in the evening. Would stay again when visiting Colombo. They organised a great 4 hour city tuk tuk tour too which was fantastic.

Kingsbury Hotel is fit for a king!

The Kingsbury had a great vibe and character too. The thing we loved most of all was, the focaccia bread in the buffet, it really showed the quality of chefs they employ there, probably the best in Colombo. The Kingsbury Hotel definitely has standards.

An excellent choice for the last day and night of a two week trip in Sri Lanka. Got to the hotel hours before the check in time, and was given a room straight away. There are multiple restaurants to choose from for dinner. Dinner at Ocean was fab! Cocktails at the roof top bar were nice. And the afternoon by the pool was chilled. All the staff were friendly and very helpful.
