    I feel so disappointed, having stayed in this hotel for a night. It is not worth the price at all. In a nutshell, what you see in the photos is not what you get in the hotel. I've had a problem locking the door, as soon as I got in there. After I reported to the reception, someone came and applied some oil to the lock. But the problem was not fixed, and as a result, I did not feel safe to leave my belongings behind. In the morning, I went to the restaurant to have my breakfast. The food tasted horrible, especially the chicken curry. I know how Sri Lankan authentic dishes would taste like. This food is nowhere near to that taste. In terms of experience, I felt like I stayed in a run-down hotel. To sum up, This is the worst hotel I've ever stayed in my life.

    Staff was really friendly, Wifi was good, Hot shower and nice view to the beach - other than that the rooms need renovation and better cleaning (dont look under the bed). Swimming Pool closed. We didnt find any breakfast area. It seems a little lost. Okay for 1-2 nights

    Loved the hotel and the staff , starting from the lovely receptionist to the front office manager and the others, rooms were tidy and the highlight is watching the sunset on the balconies facing the beautiful ocean. Best place to hang around with your loved one and enjoy basking in the sunset.

    Nice service apartment with fabulous views. Beach was walkable, and the city can be accessed using tuktuk. The train station is also walkable. Also, there were many restaurants nearby.

    Global Towers Hotel & Apartments is good place for your holidays. If you reserve room towards sea side, then you are lucky to see beautiful sunset and wonderful view of Indian Ocean. Rooms are good in terms of clean, neatness, attached bathroom and service. 👍

    The location and the view of the pool is perfect, but the ticket price for the pool is charged for 2 hrs but I feel if thy can reduce it to an hour and we can extend as per wish tht would give customers some great choice coz most of the customers don't utilize the allocated 2 hrs.

    So there was a renovation work with no sign and boards and scaffolding was in middle of the entrance. The vehicle ran over the scaffolding and tire torn apart damaging another vehicle parked at the entrance. The hotel was totally defending their side at least not accepting their side mistake. Finally police had to interfere and it was clear on CCTV that it was hotel's carelessness. Just imaging if the damage was not to the vehicle and to a human at that instance..totally irresponsible and no hospitality values to these global towers hotel. Bad experience in total..

  • 5/5 SARRAJ S. 11 months ago on Google
    Without doubt one of the favorite hotels I stayed during my time in Sri Lanka! Upon arrival we were warmly welcomed by the staff and general manager, our names were mentioned on the board and we were upgraded to the Paradise Suite. The staff was extremely friendly, the restaurant very flexible (appreciate this!) and the restaurant supervisor deserves a special thanks. We had two great evenings here, which obviously also added up to the experience. The second day we did a village trekking which was guided by Raj, who works as a waiter in the hotel as well. Raj is such a warm personality and highly motivated guide (recommendable!). I truly enjoyed walking the three of us through the village. The scenery was beautiful and it was a relieve to walk in such a quiet and peaceful environment. The natural bath on the end was a great way to end the trekking. Note, this is not a 4/5-star hotel or so, but the atmosphere is so special that it really felt like home to me. All respect for the general manager who does a great job here; a true sample of excellent hospitality!

    Great location just opposite of the beach. Nice view from the balcony, very clean and neet room. The room supplies all what you need. We felt very secured. We were spoiled by the customer service of the Front office Manager Mr. Mahendren. Great value for the price. We will come again. Thank you

    "If you judge a fish for its capability to climb a tree, it will always be depressed " This is exactly what this property is being judged for. Guests who stay here at Global Towers, are comparing it with Shangri-La, Kingsbury, Cinnamon Grand, Taj Samudra, Radisson, Hilton,Movenpick, Rathna by Grand, and a host lot of star rated properties. What they should be aware of is, Global Towers is a Service apartment property, neatly maintained, superb location, accessible to all the best happening spots of Colombo, very courteous front office personnel, good and experienced house keeping staff, freshly painted and great looking rooms, nice bathroom with a tub.clean and crispy bedsheets and fine toiletries. What else can you get for a fraction of the price, in Colombo. Initially I intended to stay for 2 days, but with the look and feel and the hospitality, I extended my stay for another 5 days. The flip side is, you may not find gorgeous foreign tourists walking around the property, in bikinis, you may find the restaurant empty. But if you are looking for a budget place, which is neat and reasonable, this is the place for you to stay in Colombo. I loved this place and if given another opportunity, I will come back and stay here. You can walk across the road, on to the beach, right opposite the property, there is a lovely garden restaurant, Chillax garden pub, serving some chilled beer, a KFC right beside. Walk down for 100 mts, you get to access, good food joints, comfortable to your pocket. You can also find tuk tuk or a taxi right in front of the hotel for your travel to any place in Colombo. I am really happy, I could find this property in MakeMyTrip portal. Wishing the management all the best. Keep up the helping nature, keep the property neatly maintained with regular maintenance, you will surely climb up the ladder in your ratings. Wish you the best.

    I stayed in the apartment which was spacious. The place was clean. Bathrooms have hot showers. The kitchen only had cups and kettle. No other cutlery. Big dining table. Overall I’m satisfied with this place and will come back.

  • 5/5 Sudeepa V. 3 months ago on Google • 6 reviews New
    Nice rooms. Nice seeview in the morning. Easy access to the Wellawatte Beach. Rooms are a little bit small. Delicious foods available on their menu

    Excellent staff and good hotel to spend a day and enjoy Sri 🇱🇰

  • 5/5 Himantha A. 3 years ago on Google
    The apartment we reserved was spacious with 3 bed rooms, a living area and a kitchen. The rooms & bathrooms were clean. The view towards seaside is breathtaking, specially in the evening. However the glamour of old days has faded a bit and looks like COVID-19 pandemic has hit them hard, specially by the lack of maintenance of the property.

  • 1/5 Shahid r. 1 year ago on Google
    They ruined my vacation. Administration and staffs do not know how to treat and speak, using uncomfortable words. Ultimately they made me feel so stress. Please think twice before go to this place.

  • 3/5 Aniket U. 4 months ago on Google
    The location of this hotel and the views from the room are great but that's about it. All else is ordinary. The included breakfast was a plate of fruit and an omlette with toasted bread.

  • 5/5 Naalin P. 5 months ago on Google

  • 2/5 Gnei S. 1 year ago on Google
    The room that was given to us was pretty worn out, although it faced the beach it was too small to even turn. The furniture can do with a bit of upgrade. Was my last week in Colombo.

  • 4/5 Ravinder S. 6 months ago on Google
    This appears to be a residential complex that has been converted into a hotel since it has a common lobby with 3 bedrooms with an attached toilet. Hence privacy is limited due to the common ante room/ drawing room.

    Mr. Yohan Fernando, the lobby Manager, was very friendly and went above and beyond to make our stay pleasant. Bernard, the bell captain, is an outstanding employee who always made us feel at home. Moorthi and Ebert were also very friendly. Overall the staff were very nice to us.

  • 1/5 محمد 9. 10 months ago on Google
    I don’t recommend to stay here, the buffet isn’t international they provide weird local food, the wifi is very very slow in each area of the hotel, also the operator always said that he will send someone but no one come.

  • 3/5 Sean A. 1 year ago on Google

  • 2/5 Gmail A. 2 years ago on Google
    Disappointed with the service. They promised microwave, cutlery & all when I made a booking for an apartment. I even called & confirmed. But when I went, they refused to provide. After talking to the duty manager they agreed to provide but all items were unclean. The plates had food particles & glasses looked unwashed. If you can't provide these facilities, be upfront with it. Update your sales channels and keep your staff informed!

  • 4/5 vishesh c. 2 years ago on Google
    Man my stay here was unbelievably good. It was my first time in Sri Lanka and first day I was taken to this hotel by my driver. And I went not having any high expectations ,but too my surprise I got a sea view room on 7th floor and it was beautiful 😍. The rooms are clean and spacious for 2 people. But not luxurious , if you are someone trying to stay in a luxurious hotel ,then this is not for you. But if you wanna stay somwhere which is right infront of the beach ,with a beach view and super comfortable rooms with KFC beside it ,then this is the place you have to go. You can walk 900 metres to 1km from here and you will restuarants ,ATMs ,cafes anything that you would need.

  • 4/5 Asap S. 1 year ago on Google
    The price is very reasonable and the facilities are very well for short stay, you have sea view, semi sea view rooms which is so good to view the sea and other tall buildings from the top. The eight floor building is very good to view out and roof top is used well. The price in 2022 September is LKR 9000 per day. Check out is 12:00 noon.

  • 3/5 Chandima V. 1 year ago on Google
    A property for daybreak. It has a bar and a restaurant, a small-scale swimming pool. However, a variety of reasonably priced restaurants are available within walking distance. The hotel is by the sea but has no beach facilities around.

  • 4/5 Sifan M. 1 year ago on Google
