The ITC is in a great location on the seafront in Colombo. We were stayed 2 nights and were looked after from beginning to end. We were shown to our room by Leena who was wonderful and gave us a quick tour and run down of all the facilities and showed us to our fantastic room. The buffet was extensive, we also ate at the Chinese restaurant which was a very good meal, again with excellent serving staff who looked after us. There are two pools, the steam room was powerful and the gym was really well equipped with loads of cardio equipment, weights and loads of weight lifting machines in a spacious gym overlooking the sea. The bar on the 29th was excellent, the welcome host and staff were really helpful when we went on the evenings of the 5th and 6th December (didn’t catch their names). As we left another host, I think Selna? helped with our cases on the morning of the 7th - everyone was just so helpful - great hotel

Manoji and Manitha are a lovely couple and made me feel so welcomed and cared for in my first 24 hrs in Sri Lanka. They picked me up from the airport and were the perfect welcome to Colombo. the Highbury Colombo is a beautiful architecturally designed house and garden, and feels very secluded despite being in the big city. I had a very peaceful one night stay and a delicious homemade Sri Lankan breakfast in the morning before I left to the south coast. I would highly recommend the Highbury as a beautiful spot to stay in Colombo - I would absolutely go back :) thank you!

A cozy hotel situated overlooking the Wellawatta Beach, on Marine Drive. Don't miss the pool on the third floor it has magnificent ocean view. The rooms are quite spacious and bed is very comfortable. I had booked an ocean view and we enjoyed the magnificent sunset.
