A little oasis in the hustle and bustle of Colombo. Everything was fantastic- the food, the room and most of all the staff who were all so warm and welcoming. We were sorry to leave.

Everything about this hotel was fantastic!
Staff and service was excellent. Staff were attentive and anticipated our needs without being intrusive.
Facilities were of a high standard and included everything we needed. The outdoor pool was exceptionally enjoyable.
WiFi was excellent - both in the room and at the pool.
It’s worth booking a club Horizon room as the lounge is worth every penny.

Breeze of Paradise is the only place I stay at when visiting the Colombo area of Sri Lanka. It's a nice, quiet, safe and comfortable place. Kala & Suresh are lovely hosts and very welcoming and this too is another reason why I come back. I've stayed in other hotels in the past but they're nothing like this. Definitely give this place a look!

For a mere £84 we stayed in this lovely, comfortable hotel in Colombo. The friendliest welcome with a refreshing Popsicle followed by helpful advice about getting around the city. We didn't eat dinner there as that evening was a wonderful play procession just round the corner but breakfast was delicious. We hope to return for more than one night

I've stayed at quite a few of the nicest hotels in Colombo over the past few years, both with my family and alone, and I'm really pleased I tried ITC this year. It's probably now my joint favourite alongside the Hilton Colombo Residences. It is superior to the Shangri-La (where the rooms are shoeboxes and the feeling is sterile) and Mt Lavinia (which seems too obsequious to a colonial past!). The lobby area is great and I felt like spending a lot of time there.
The vibe feels more high end Sri...
