Kingsbury Hotel is fit for a king!
The Kingsbury had a great vibe and character too. The thing we loved most of all was, the focaccia bread in the buffet, it really showed the quality of chefs they employ there, probably the best in Colombo. The Kingsbury Hotel definitely has standards.
Remona, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Excellent location & amenities , specially the range they have in Breakfast , only complaint is the staff ( only in the restaurant for breakfast) the service is slow & I will suggest hotel to keep staff who can give service with a smile. All other staff were very good…. Sure will stay again in this hotel

Austen, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We stayed here for a night prior to leaving Sri Lanka from a 10-day trip. The hotel was very fancy, clean and modern and nicely decorated for Christmas. Across the Street from Dutch Hospital shopping and entertainment district. Service was great, and breakfast buffet was plentiful.
Ryan, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The staff, room, and breakfast options were great. However, on the first night, our room was below a banquet hall, and the loud music continued until midnight. We requested a room change, which was accommodated on the second night of our stay.

Everything was good, But they didn’t keep much toiletries Even I didn’t see Thoth past and brush, I have Oder dlux but room was compared to other 5star it’s small room. Other than everything was good, Breakfast was superb many choices and varieties
Fathima, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

I would recommend improving the insulation of the rooms. Staying on the 5th floor, the noise from the street is too loud and noticeable.
Miguel, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

It is so unfortunate that the staff discriminate against their own people. If your skin color is brown, dont stay here. Even though your are paying same amount of money for the rooms and services, the staff at kingsbury treat you like untouchables. We will never stay here again

Fancy hotel, amazing brekfast.
Daniel, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Rooms are well furnished but slightly tired as are the corridors. Hotel seems to focus on hosting large events which can mean the common areas are very busy and it is difficult to get attention from staff. Similarly, the pool area was not for relaxing and was being used to host an evening party. The hotel allowed me to move rooms away from one overlooking the pool to avoid the noise of the party.
James, 1-night trip

Great hotel, exceptionally friendly staff and the beds are so comfy. Just what we needed after a long flight.

2/10 Poor

Horrendous
From check in I had problems, inefficient staff, impossible to be served food after first morning at breakfast I had to go outside hotel each morning for breakfast. I had all my means outside this hotel due to staff incompetence. The shower cubicle was very dirty. The room very noisy unable to sleep until 3 in the morning. Service generally for everything was so bad

Everything is great on the hotel . Clean and location of hotel, but i have one note : room service very slow
zainelabedin, 5-night trip

6/10 Good

The last time I stayed here was 8 years ago. It is very clear that they have cut down on a lot of things - starting with the big roses pot in the lobby now some cheap flowers. The room amenities used to be Bvulgari but not anymore. It could be country’s economic situation etc; But it was very different this time.
