Perfect location

Beatiful hotel, perfect location Fantastic breakfast Helpful staff in booking taxi to airport Lovely pool Would thoroughly recommend
Caroline, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We enjoyed our stay. Food was delicious and the staff was very friendly
Niyomi, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Love the place, love the area, and love most of the services there. Just one issue: the swimming pool night party; as a professional, not being able to sleep until the game on tv has ended is wrong. I was on the third floor (so, just perfect to get a full blast of the sound) and I had to delay my sleep for nearly two hours… I understand the idea of the swimming pool party but then sound proof the rooms better…
Javier, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Lots of dining options and great service. Highly recommend
Josie, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Kingsbury Hotel is fit for a king!

The Kingsbury had a great vibe and character too. The thing we loved most of all was, the focaccia bread in the buffet, it really showed the quality of chefs they employ there, probably the best in Colombo. The Kingsbury Hotel definitely has standards.
Remona, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Excellent location & amenities , specially the range they have in Breakfast , only complaint is the staff ( only in the restaurant for breakfast) the service is slow & I will suggest hotel to keep staff who can give service with a smile. All other staff were very good…. Sure will stay again in this hotel
Sudhir Nath, 5-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We stayed for two weeks in The Kingsbury and it was incredible. It was our first time in Sri Lanka and we chose to stay in The Kingsbury because we were attending a wedding there. The service was amazing, the staff cannot do enough for you; holding doors open for you before you get to them, wishing you well every time you see them, cooking off-the-menu items to suit dietary requirements. The food was delicious in all the restaurants we tried. We booked to have breakfast included but we had a few excursions planned which meant leaving before 6am. We spoke to reception and they arranged for us to have a take away breakfast. Our towels didn’t get replaced one of the days but if that’s all we have to complain about in two weeks, that’s pretty good going. We would highly recommend The Kingsbury if you are planning on visiting Sri Lanka.

Service and staff were nice. TV channels did not work for the most part of my stay but it really didn't affect my stay. This may be an area you could improve for other future guests.

Amazing place. Easy walk to Galle face
ashanthi, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

The staff, room, and breakfast options were great. However, on the first night, our room was below a banquet hall, and the loud music continued until midnight. We requested a room change, which was accommodated on the second night of our stay.

Smoking smell during the stay.

Property smelled like smoke even though we have requested non smoking room. People were smoking during the night and you can smell that in the hall way. Ordered hoppers from Chef Jayasinghe in person.He said they will the hoppers to our table. While we were waiting I can clearly seeing he was giving our hoppers to his favorite customers. Went back and asked again and he said we will send it back to your table. Very unprofessional behavior.

I would recommend improving the insulation of the rooms. Staying on the 5th floor, the noise from the street is too loud and noticeable.

Gorgeous hotel with old skool vibes. Incredible personalised service and very attentive staff
Nazia, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

It is so unfortunate that the staff discriminate against their own people. If your skin color is brown, dont stay here. Even though your are paying same amount of money for the rooms and services, the staff at kingsbury treat you like untouchables. We will never stay here again
