My family and I recently enjoyed a one-day stay at the Hotel Mandarina, and it was truly a five-star experience. I have nothing but positive things to say about our time there. The hotel's location was excellent, making it easy for us to get in and out of the city. We were impressed by the delicious breakfast buffet and prompt room service. I would like to give a special shout-out to the Assistant Food and Beverage Manager, Shafffe, who provided us with personalized service and made our stay...

Our favorite hotel in Sri Lanka, and in the world now. We stayed twice during our stay in Sri Lanka, for a total of 4 nights. By the time we came back the second time, we felt as we were coming home. The staff are all beyond kind and genuine, from the managers and the front desk to the bellhops and servers, everyone had genuine smiles and conversation.

We were disappointed that we were unable to stay more than one night! My partner and I misread our flight schedule and had to leave a night earlier than anticipated. The Cinnamon Red staff were wonderful and we were given a beautiful room fir our final night in Colombo. We paid extra for late check-out and it was worth it! We will definitely stay again if we're lucky enough to visit Sri Lanka again. Thank you

Friendly staff ... good location ... does not surprise me that this hotel has hosted kings and queens during the last 150 years. I got good service from Shayna at the restaurant there ... nice breakfast buffet.

The quality and comfort of the rooms is great. The staff is great. It is not a busy, active party hotel. It is a very comfortable quiet hotel with excellent staff and service. Amila, the manager demonstrated exceptional service as I was leaving the hotel.

We were there for 4 nights. The staff made it one of the most memorable stays we had anywhere in the world (we both travel a lot globally for both pleasure and business). They were warm, friendly and showed a genuine interest in making us feel welcomed. We were on vacation, but we had packed lots of things into our schedule.
