Anarva Mount Lavinia

Great location, helpful staff, nice variety of food options. The spa services are great as well.
The gym could use some upgrades. I’d stay there again!

The staff was extremely helpful and welcoming and accommodating to our needs. We enjoyed our stay very much. Would have been great if the surrounding neighborhood was in better shape especially looking down from the roof top pool.

Staff is really nice and attentive

Staff was friendly. facilities were good.

No microwave. No variety in food menue.

Property was in a convenient location, and friendly and courteous staff

Reasonably new hotel so rooms are ok. However, there was very limited tolileries provided, limited linen , no TV remote and room safe was permanently locked… also don’t bother with breakfast option… basically you get what you pay for and it was one of the cheapest options in the area.

Air conditioned room. Good beds. Swimming pool. Clean room. Friendly staff.

Will visit again definitely.

Wifi disruption is very bad always have to go down to reception office to get slip to load .

it's really not a bad hotel. It's location is on the main road. For us this was, probably, a good thing. For someone on a beach holiday, it wouldn't be good. Our room (709) was a large, comfortable suite with two toilet rooms. We had a nice view of Colombo city from one side and of the sea from the other side. The hotel was quite dead, however, and it was, sometimes, difficult to find staff people sometimes. However, our housekeeper was friendly and wonderful (though sometimes not available, too). The worst thing, and it is quite abysmal, is the internet service. It's totally inadequate for guests anywhere. It's a shame that they are using this antiquated system at a quite new hotel.

Courteous staff, great buffet for breakfast, prompt attention to services were amongst the good things noted.
We noted that the cups and cutlery after use were washed in the room which is not a hygienic way of washing.

Clean and well maintained. Friendly and helpful staff

Room and bathroom were not clean. Room's floor was rundown with visible dirty spots. Similar condition of the wall. Breakfast was just ok.

The staff are genuine and lovely in their work but they aren’t professional. I arrived close to midnight so I understand it was an unusual time but it took 20 minutes to check me in when all I wanted was a bed and sleep. I was also to have a sea view according to the booking but I woke up to a wall and saw a slice of the sea to me left. Please dont mislead with descriptions.

we were there during a time of political uncertainty. The hotel staff was extra nice to us and was very caring. The security at the hotel was good. they checked every guest that went in. The hotel was fairly well equipped with a gym and a fabulous Spa. The toiletries on sale were very good and were reasonably priced.
location was good and central and served our purpose. it was reasonably close to the Mt. Lavinia beach for anyone who wanted a swim in the sea to walk.
the hotel was clean and the house keeping was good.

Excellent facilities. Very clean. Friendly staff and breakfast was good. Great value for money.

Modern hotel using up to date technology but profiteering is the main motive.Air conditioning is put off at midnight to save on electricity expenses perhaps causing great discomfort in midst of sleep.Room amenities are refilled in a miserly fashion.In fact no replenishments after 3pm with the alebi of Housekeeping staff having left for the day.(as if the staff carry supplies with them home)

The air conditioning- room temperature was not controllable. It was 20.6 C when I occupied. The technician who came to adjust it could not not control the temperature. At the end I switched off air conditioning. The same applies too hot water. I had to open all taps for a long time to get hot water which made me feel guilty of wasting water.

Very comfortable place to stay as a base location to explore Colombo and also the surrounding area, including beaches and local shopping

Good location, room very good, staff very helpful and breakfast had a good choice. Only negative was that there was no shade at the pool
