A special thank you to Dewmini, Lukshan, and Akini — your warmth and hospitality truly made our stay unforgettable. Every interaction felt genuine, and their service went far beyond expectations. The hotel’s seaside location is perfect for relaxing, with beautiful views of the Indian Ocean and easy access to the beach. The atmosphere is peaceful yet full of character, with elegant colonial architecture and a rich sense of history. Mount Lavinia Hotel delivers comfort, charm, and top-notch service. We’ll definitely be back! ##### anu Stayed 6 nights in Sep 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Pavasha 8 Dec 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities I am completely dissatisfied with my experience at this hotel. The room was advertised as clean and well-maintained, but that was far from the truth. The linen was not changed, and it was obvious that the bed had simply been remade from the previous guest’s stay. This is completely unacceptable and unhygienic. On top of that, the filters in the air-conditioning/ventilation were filthy, and it was clear they had not been cleaned or replaced in a long time. The hotel claims to offer a clean and comfortable environment, but this is false advertising. Overall, I do not recommend this hotel to anyone. Poor hygiene, poor maintenance, and misleading advertisements. I will not be returning.i want a refund i will display your name ##### Pavasha Stayed 9 nights in Nov 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Meth 10 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities This is still an awesome property ##### Meth Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jacqueline 23 Mar 2025 Liked: Staff & service, amenities Heritage hotel sublime and private beach fantastic ##### Jacqueline Stayed 20 nights in Feb 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Verified traveller 29 Jul 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort The views are amazing and the staffs general service was good. However the air-conditioning wasnt working and there was black mould and it was extremely difficult to sleep. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Nirthana 8 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities The staff were really attentive anr the location was good. Best bits for me were the breakfast which was delicious (lots of traditional dishes and a live hopper and omelette station) and the view was beautiful. Only downside was our aircon wasnt really too cooling and there were some small bugs on one of the tables but didnt touch our belongings and we didnt see them anywhere else. Was a nice hotel. Breakfast was the highlight ##### Nirthana Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mangal 22 Mar 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Unique position on the sea with pool terrace or beach and the best food and extensive buffet. ##### Mangal Stayed 6 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rukshan 24 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Great atmosphere and facilities.

The hotel is old and rusty otherwise it’s a nice hotel for the price. The best breakfast buffet ever you can get in Sri Lanka for sure. ##### Kamal Stayed 1 night in Mar 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Fazmin 10 Aug 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities AC wasn’t working. Rooms were pretty dated and dirty. This is our first place we stayed after landing in Sri Lanka so first impression was pretty bad. Food and the pool was the only good thing in this hotel. I still won’t go back. ##### Fazmin Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Sentido Heritance Negombo](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Negombo-Hotels-Heritance-Negombo.h10484262.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Riu Palace Santa Maria - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sal-Hotels-Hotel-Riu-Palace-Santa-Maria.h59442625.Hotel-Information) > > [The Horse & Farrier Inn and The Salutation Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Keswick-Hotels-The-Horse-Farrier-Inn-And-The-Salutation-Inn.h34921966.Hotel-Information) > > [Stic Urban Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sant-Antoni-De-Portmany-Hotels-Hotel-Urban-Stic.h45044123.Hotel-Information) > > [Turyaa Kalutara](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Wadduwa-Hotels-Turyaa-Kalutara.h1514759.Hotel-Information) > > [Ayur Ayur Ayurveda Retreat](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Negombo-Hotels-Ayur-Ayur-Ayurveda-Retreat.h37946415.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Corallaro](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Santa-Teresa-Di-Gallura-Hotels-Hotel-Corallaro.h4274763.Hotel-Information) > > [HiltonHotels Hotels in Menorca](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Menorca-Hotels-Hilton-Hotels.0-0-d2201--bHiltonHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Anax Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Mykonos-Hotels-Anax-Resort-Spa.h15338258.Hotel-Information) > > [The Lucan Spa Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dublin-Hotels-The-Lucan-Spa-Hotel.h906822.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Havant](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Havant-Hotels.d4651.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [King Street Townhouse](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Manchester-Hotels-King-Street-Townhouse.h12761140.Hotel-Information) > > [The Blue Water - Geoffrey Bawa Heritage Resort Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Wadduwa-Hotels-The-Blue-Water.h1610945.Hotel-Information) > > [Rocamar Exclusive Hotel Spa Adults Only](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Albufeira-Hotels-Rocamar-Exclusive-Hotel-Spa-Adults-Only.h1455763.Hotel-Information) > > [Royal Palms Beach Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Wadduwa-Hotels-Royal-Palms-Beach-Hotel.h6290832.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Padstow](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Padstow-Hotels.d4407.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Albergo Del Senato](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rome-Hotels-Albergo-Del-Senato.h579233.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Place LAX El Segundo](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-Hyatt-Place-LAX-El-Segundo.h5372480.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Miami (MIA) to Key West (EYW)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/mia/eyw/miami-to-key-west) ### Cars ### Activities > [Things to do in Ipswich](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Things-To-Do-In-Ipswich.d7912.Travel-Guide-Activities) > > [Things to do in Gorton](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Things-To-Do-In-Gorton.d6150942.Travel-Guide-Activities) ### Packages ### General > [Visit Torquay City Centre](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Torquay-Torquay-City-Centre.dx553248635810423199) ---
