Mount Lavinia Hotel Reviews

Good breakfast spread on Sundays on d terrace, value for money!

Fantastic dining experience on the beach, known as the Seafood Cove, part of the Hotel. Friendly attentive staff. And the food was brilliant. A teriffic lightning storm just added to the evening.

Colonial style hotel, good location. Food however has become average over the time.

The closest thing to a resort hotel while still in the city, MLH, thst colonial behemoth perched on a Rocky outcrop is my favorite 5 star hotel in the city. With an unparalleled view for what is technically a city hotel and an ambience that is heavy on the nostalgia, this is one great place to be. With great themed buffets that are more hit than miss and the terrace which is an amazing place to just relax, you can't go wrong. The occasional hiccup does occur, but all in all, 5 stars.

Staff do not welcome local guests much which is very unfortunate.

The hotel is one of the oldest hotels in Sri Lanka. Still have the ancient l k and it s well maintained. The rooms are awesome, the view is spectacular and the service is very good.

us and clean , service is prompt , food is good , views are spectacular and the place is steeped in history ! Would have liked some more smiles from the staff though. The bar tender was especially grumpy, ot

Friendly environment , tasty food and good prizes .

Not a good place for people with walking disabilities.

Revamped English Colonial styled high tea menu at 1800/= nett is quite a steal. Tip: free refills on coffew/tea/iced coffee and also the jam and clotted cream

A Heritage Hotel which is at the right edge of mount lavinia beach and have its own private beach for guests. you can enjoy your lovely vacation out there. the food is good too. can hosts private parties at the beach too and the prices are pretty reasonable too.

Amazing Place to relax and can be said that a good hotel in Colombo with being only one near the beach

Its a colonial place with a long standing reputation.

Excellent accommodation. Super friendly and helpful staff.
Nice spacious room, dated with colonial features.
Excellent air con

Lovely colonial palace revamped into a luxury hotel but the colonial charm is still preserved. And the beach is breathtaking. A must visit place in Colombo even if you aren't staying here. Try seafood cove for a great seafood dinner

Well known and most historical hotel. Rooms, functions, weddings, receptions are taking care of you.

Nice 4 star hotel with blended with history, more than 210 years of memory. Once upon a time this was British governor resident but now luxurious hotel.

Great historical place to visit. Service is average. Food is not that great

Beautiful and clean Beach with the beautiful mount Lavinia hotel on one side ..lot of locals and foreigners enjoy this beach..

Nice hotel very old building but the maintenance is good

We love staying here whenever we come to Sri Lanka - it is practically our second home. Besides the brilliant breakfast buffet and stunning pool/terrace area, the staff are what keep us coming back. They are all so friendly and welcoming and we always find it hard to say goodbye. Tiddy's tour of the Mount Lavinia Hotel museum and tunnels was fascinating and he provided a great insight into the colonial history of the buildings. Looking forward to our next visit.

It is a Fivestar hotel.... Helpful service and friendly staff ...

Hotel with excellent ocen view, Train running underneath a small bridge which is the entrance to the hotel. Paradise beach which is a part of the hotel provides beautiful view of ocean in the morning as well at night. Seafood Cove market provides selection of fresh catches from Indian Ocean which the chef prepares in the form of mouth watering dishe and serves you while you enjoy the evening in light live music and the sound of waves.

The receptionist made it hard to access a Room booked for wedding preparation few weeks backs.. They asked for an extra payment without an explanation before the key was handed over which put me in a difficult situation.. However the manager did apologize for the inconvenience on check out.

Luxury hotel with a good customer service and beautiful view

Great place , You get a breath taking view of the Indian ocean. Food is great

I love this place but it is looking too old it is a very nice place for old people

Very good place for take a wedding ceremony everything is very well manage and maintain . the beach, behind the hotel and has a very good environment . love it

Been to this hotel before. Experience this year not as good. Service deteriorated. As example regularly had to request that the coffee pot be filled again at the self service breakfast. More like this. So in my experience some improvements needed.

Hotel fantastique and has its charm ,quick service and the food very good
But a little too far from the town takes at least 45 minutes during peak business hours to Colombo 3

First prestige point of Sri Lanka.. restaurant service is below its point..

Nice atmosphere, especially in the evenings and pretty good food.

Had a wonderful honeymoon with wife. Food, View was excelente

Ideal place for spend some quality time with friends and family

There's not many places on the beach here. This one is definitely worth a visit.

Designed as a wedding venue, colonial style. Right on the beach, beach wedding was fantastic!

Pleasant experience better than Indian beach holiday.

Very good buffets and antique place with good sea veiw

Good breakfast spread on Sundays on d terrace, value for money!

Great hotel with very good service with ample and excellent food

Very good customer service and I tasted a delicious dinner. It is a ideal place for a memorable wedding

Elegant example of a classic modern hotel. Bar staff are very friendly!

Has one of the best private beach to watch sunset in west coast.

There was an excellent service. Especially Ranjith Anura who works as a steward. Nice place with an unexpected breakfast.

Colonial mansion southern end off Colombo city. Maintains its heritage n English style hospitality. Relaxing atmosphere facing sea n the archiac colombo city visible at a side.

Beautiful views of the Indian Ocean, superb breakfast selection, nice spa and incredible staff and service.
