Wonderful rooftop pool with infinity border, where I had a lovely sunset view. The dinner buffet (and the breaksfast as well) were something to note and to enjoy. One of the supervisors was very kind in organizing our airport transfer to the next morning as well as in guiding for a taxi in which I has drove to visit the Colombo's tower

Colombo (Near Kelaniya)

Boasting a bar, Cinnamon Life at City of Dreams offers accommodation in Colombo, 700 metres from Galle Face Beach and 2.3 km from Khan Clock Tower.

Cinnamon Life Colombo is a stunning, brand-new 5-star property that defines luxury. The service is impeccable, and the variety of restaurants is outstanding—Quizzine buffet is fantastic, the Chinese restaurant is amazing, and the rooftop bar offers breathtaking views. The poolside “Dreams and Beats” experience is a perfect way to unwind with great music and cocktails. While Colombo itself doesn’t have much to do, a stay at this property makes visiting the city absolutely worth it—whether as a grand start to your Sri Lanka trip or a luxurious way to end it. Highly recommended! Once the mall and casino opens up in September and all the 800 rooms go full, this place will be a micro vegas!

Heritage Eco Resort exceeded my expectations for an extended business stay. The spacious room provided ample relaxation space, and the hotel's amenities ensured a comfortable and convenient experience. Reliable Wi-Fi, accommodating staff, and a central location made my stay stress-free. I highly recommend it for both business trips and family vacations. The calm and quiet environment is perfect for unwinding, whether you're visiting Colombo as a foreigner or a local.

Well equipped apartment with all the necessities: a cozy bedroom, kitchenette, additional items such as salt & pepper, detergent soap, washing powder & liquids made the stay quite easier and quite comfortable. I really enjoyed all the facilities and extended my stay by another week due to the convenience of the location. This is my second stay at the Paramount Residence.

The apartment was very clean, spacious, well equipped and well maintained. Kitchen utensils, complimentary items (tea/coffee/sugar), pepper, salt and oil were available free of charge for the guests with constant water supply. Very safe environment for solo travellers especially ladies with calm and quiet surrounding. Conveniently located with easy access to supermarkets, hospitals and food outlets etc. Highly recommended and definitely will make another visit in the future. 🙂
