Nice city view
Pros:

I liked that the lobby is on the 10th floor and from there it is possible to see beautiful views of the ocean and Kolombo city. It is a good strategy to introduce the perks of the hotel.
Also, I like that the hotel is eco friendly. It uses glass bottles for water in the room, instead of plastic ones. They also can refill it easily.
The staff is so friendly. Overall, a nice hotel with great scenery.

Cons:

I think the dining options for the buffet are a bit limited for the price you pay. Not a lot of salad options to choose from, too many non-veg dishes and not enough seafood ones. The food overall was tasty. I liked their soups. Considering the price of the room that one pays for and with excellent city view, the dinning options could have more variety.

beautiful rooms and nice view south of the heart of Colombo
Pros:

The staff is helpful and kind and check-in and check-out procedure was seamless.
The room was big and clean and had a nice view on the sea and city.

Cons:

The location is a bit south of Colombo and there is not really a lot to do in the surrounding area. Likely you will need all the time a taxi to go to the city center.

If you are going to Colombo then stay in Sofia Colombo hotel - they won’t let you down.
Pros:

I liked the rooms, staff and breakfast.

Cons:

Honestly I’ve stayed in a bunch of hotels and generally can find something that’s not right but this place was pretty bloody good mate. 👍

Perfect choice
Pros:

A perfect choice for the last day of our vacation! Rooms are newly decorated, super comfy, clean and quiet. Staff very welcoming, the friendly receptionist Gihansa met our needs and arranged us the late check out. We loved the location close to the seaside and to the shops. The rooftop pool with an astonishing view is an absolute winner!
