The breakfast at ITC Ratnadipa was an absolute delight! The variety of options catered to every palate, from local Sri Lankan delicacies to international favorites, all prepared with exceptional quality. The location of the hotel is equally impressive, it offers stunning views and convenient access to Colombo's vibrant attractions. A truly luxurious experience that I would highly recommend

The hotel has a really great environment and an excellent sense of design. When I checked in, the owner wasn't around, but someone else was arranged to help me with the check-in process, which was quite an interesting experience. The next day, when I left, the owner was very kind. All in all, it was a wonderful stay. However, I only stayed in Colombo for one day. The room gave me a really nice feeling that day.

If you are looking for a luxury getaway with full privacy, this is your place. It was spotless and super clean. All the amenities were already there in the apartment. The apartment was decorated so beautifully. This apartment is located on the 9th floor, and the pool and gym are located on the 8th floor, making it so convenient. This apartment has the breathtaking view of Lotus tower and river. You will have major malls around the property, making it easier for shopping, too. Two huge supermarkets are just around the corner.. The host was super helpful, too. It really exceeded our expectations.

    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.
