The Kingsbury Colombo - Slave Island

This hotel does not come even close to a 5 stars hotel. Nothing about it is 5 stars. The reception guys were extremely unprofessional. You just feel that they want to scam you in any way. Rooms are poorly designed an equipped. Breakfast buffer is horrible. Location is gloomy besides an industrial area. There are far better hotel options in Colombo, but I was drawn by the comments.

Spend some time in the kingsbury buffet with the family. Its been 6 years since my last visit. Food was amazing and a huge range where you almost dragging yourself after the whole buffet experience. Good for the price. Very friendly and respectful staff. Clean and beautiful ambience...

Wonderful place and wonderful food. Extremely friendly service offered by the service crew. In Harbor Court Restaurant, there were plenty of food types to choose. Almost 5 categories of food kitchens available. Super tasty food. Love the atmosphere.

Reservation is required. I visited here for high tea around 5 with an acquaintance. They accommodated my request for tea at 4 which was very nice. The place was full and it was warm. The air conditioning wasn’t cooling as good. The foods arrived on a 3 tier server and the foods were fresh and delicious. Wish we could pick what we want. Hated to see lobster bits there. Ordered Ceylon tea and nudged 4 waiters and it took over 1/2 hour for it to arrive. Disappointing waiting so so long. Paid about 7000 LKR for 2. Not sure if it was worth it.

We had a nice stay at this hotel. The breakfast is amazing and reach. And all the staff is very kind and professional. They’ve helped me with my big luggage so I can travel light. The chief concierge Priyantha was very nice with me. Thank you.
