Grand Hotel

It was really nice here. Because I arrived during winter season, it was freezing 🥶. Every room had a heater. The rooms were quite spacious and clean. The waiters and employees were attentive and there was a singing club near the entrance that sang sometimes. The food was very tasty, I really enjoyed it. I do feel like the pasta isn’t as good as Cinnamon hotels. The hotel have high standards. Dress codes for dining and remember be polite and tidy.

The Grand Hotel as always excellent. We have stayed in this place on many occasions. One occasion 35yrs ago. We brought our Son 5yr and Daughter 2 yrs.. Both played on the front lawn with their Sri Lankan cousins. I still have a video of it . 35yrs on, my daughter returned with her 3 kids and hubby. This place has a lot of history, great memories. Why do people keep coming back? It’s the opulence, the old world charm, the impeccable service, the great food. It’s one hotel worth a stay when you visit Sri Lanka. Thanks to the staff, you’ve made our 2 days stay very enjoyable back in April this year. It’s a hotel worth a visit . Booking shortly for December 2026. Planning on bringing our Son & Daughter and their families. Thank you Grand 👌

Went here for high tea only and so I cannot comment on the rooms. But it is a very nice hotel. The grounds are well maintained. The pool and exercise room look lovely. The bar is nice. Its a bit dim and tough to read the menu. There is a very nice hallway of photos of famous people who have stayed at the hotel. Very cool. Very interesting. High tea was an amazing experience. The teas were exceptional. I was full well afterwards and so I recommend this on an empty stomach and without any serious dinner plans.
