We had a wonderful stay at Cinnamon Life at City of Dreams. We booked the suite, and the room was absolutely amazing with a great view. The service throughout our stay was excellent — friendly and attentive staff who made us feel very welcome. The highlight for us was definitely the buffet restaurant. Both breakfast and dinner were incredible! The food quality was top-notch — fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Even though I'm not usually a dessert person, I have to say the desserts were outstanding. The sushi was also very good! The kids club was fantastic and kept the little ones entertained. We also enjoyed the well-equipped gym, and the pool area is just stunning — amazing view and a relaxing atmosphere. Highly recommended for families and anyone looking for a luxury experience in the city!

Great spot! Lovely building in a good location (walking distance to a supermarket and a good base to explore Colombo by foot or cheap tuktuk). Very clean room and ensuite bathroom. Lovely rooftop with nice view. Use of the washing machine, kettle, fridge. Our host was welcoming, delightfully kind and so very helpful. You get a lot for a small price at this place. Highly recommended!

Lovely modern hotel overlooking the sea. Pool on the 9th floor small but very nice and cold beers went down well. Rooms were spacious, comfortable, well equipped, very clean and great bathroom. We loved the location - few cheap and cheerful street food/chea fun eating places and shops nearby and the lovely Barefoot cafe and shop round the corner. But very easy access to the centre of the city, Galle Face, markets, train station via tuk tuk for very little money.

This place is great, perfect location for everything you would want to see in Colombo and if you have Uber can get to places very easily and for very little money(a lot cheaper than flagging down random tuk tuks) Hotel rooms are modern and very clean. The rooftop pool/jacuzzis are a vibe, great for relaxing and all staff super friendly and accommodating.
