Some TLC would be good. Staff were fantastic. Food was superb and value for money. Especially the breakfast buffet. ##### Palitha Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Joel 11 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Mount Lavinia hotel is in an amazing location with a phenomenal view. The F&B staff and food is excellent and very friendly. There was a games room with a pool table and table tennis table which my kids thoroughly enjoyed. There is work to be done in renovating the hotel and parts of the building to restore it to it’s former grandeur, but all in all a great place to base yourself and enjoy the beautiful and serene waves, lovely pool and mesmerising sunset you can see on the terrace. Note that some rooms have been renovated to a modern feel whilst others are not and have an old world charm to them- so factor that in when booking to best suit your holiday preferences ##### Joel Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### Ross 10 Jul 2025 Disliked: Property conditions & facilities Property not maintained at all.
