    The Hilton brand is much the same all over the world. On the plus side you know you're guaranteed excellent service, luxurious rooms and a completely hassle-free stay. On the downside there's little evidence of the local culture inside those air-conditioned pristine white walls. It leaves a nasty dent in your wallet too.

    The Colombo Hilton has everything you'd expect and is an excellent place to stay. It overlooks Beira Lake in the heart of the city, is within walking distance of the Indian Ocean and Galle Face Green, and can offer sauna, limousines, gymnasium, tennis courts... anything you want really.

    Best of all are the superb restaurants - you can take a tour of unbeatable food from around the world without leaving the hotel: Ginza (Japanese), Il Ponte (Italian - also does takeaways), Emperor's Wok (Chinese), The Curry Leaf (excellent local Sri Lankan cuisine), and best of all, Spoons serving a delicious mix of everything!

    Entertainment-wise there's the Blue Elephant nightclub and the English colonial style Echelon pub. There's also middle-of-the-road music at night in the lobby.

  • Directions: You'll notice the street name is a bit of a mouthful so just say the Hilton to a taxi driver and you'll be fine. By foot, head north up Galle Road towards Fort and the clocktower - you'll soon see the towering World Trade Centre next door.

    I came to Colombo once in December 2001 when I visited Maldives at that time. It was a good stay in Hilton, or any Hilton worldwide. You need to walk across the road in order to have the swimming pool and gym facilities as they are not in the Hotel Compound. At night the Garden will serve a very good Sri Lankan dinner buffet.

    It is a western hotel, which you may find to be a bit odd when you are in Sri Lanka. Other hotels like Taj chain have very good style of Sri Lankan and Indian atmosphere. I prefer the latter.

A hotel worth every penny you pay for and one thats worth visiting. And the local staff is full of good cheer through and through.With one of the best amenities available the gym was one of the best. And the restaurants were worth every morsel on the plate. The breakfast befitted a kings . Definitely one of the best in colombo.

    Hilton Colombo: not my first choice hotel in the current situation    Check Rates
  • Updated By playethic on December 5, 2006
    • This is an upscale, great service, attractive hotel. For me personally, it's not the place in Colombo I would feel most comfortable at the moment. Once in the hotel you don't have any sense of the country's current security situation ... but the area the hotel is in, Fort, is the part of the city with the tightest security presence. For me, the glitz wasn't worth that.
    There are more checkpoints and more nervousness among the soldiers in this area, because it is a central army location and used to be a target during the incidents in the early 80s. Soldiers and guns are evident in many parts of town, but they really are in this area. Some people get used to this and so they will recommend the Hilton.

    I think there are other really nice Colombo hotels in areas with less intense security presence.

    Impressive, tho not cheap, fitness facilities.

    • The Hilton in Colombo is good if you are in town for business. And that’s it. As to be expected from this mid budget chain, once inside your room, you could very easily think you are in a one horse town in Idaho. Such little imagination goes into these lodgings, it boggles the mind. But, if it’s the fax machine you are looking for, then the Hilton does not disappoint.

    The hotel provides a full range of services for the busy traveller. You can get your clothes washed and pressed in less than 3 hours. You pay for the service, but who else even offers the service. If you can pay the entry price (the room rate), everything else is reasonably priced. The staff are great and really work hard to make things good for the guest.

    It has a squash court and the staff make excellent playing partners if you do not have a partner. The staff at the sports facility are very friendly and helpfull without being intrusive. If you don't feel so active, you can chill out by the pool.
