Shangri-La has a name as the best hotel in Colombo among our friends and even with very high expectations they exceeded them! The rooms, room service, and staff were all excellent. We extended our stay by another week! Aslam was doing such a great job clearing and bringing us anything we needed. He was really sweet with our kids as well. Rusiru made my kids their favorite pancakes each morning and he was working really hard and constantly had fresh French toast, pancakes, and waffles out just in time for all the guests. He was very happy and kind!

The hotel was clean and quiet. I stayed on first week of Dec, occupancy seems pretty low if I judged it based on the number of room lights that were on during evening/night time. Staffs greeted me everywhere I go. Breakfast food was alright, i would say variety is alright, taste wise was a little blend in general. Hot food was not warm enough, except for curry. Gym was huge and had a lot of machines available. There is only a shopping mall nearby. There is also a beach nearby, but other than that not much places of interest within walking distance. Overall, still a good stay.
