    It’s one of the finest in Colombo. Stayed here few times and It’s right in front of all three modes of transportation- the road, the railways and the sea! They have spacious and well maintained rooms. Very good restaurants as well. Roof top pool and gym! A place to be either for business or holiday!

    I had a very pleasant stay stay here over different periods over 2 weeks in September. The facilities were great. The swimming pool are a was fantastic with all the services you could want. Customer service was consistently very good by everyone that I interacted with. Food quality and service was very good in all the various locations including room service. My only complaint was that I took a non smoking room and it reeked off cigarette smoke which I had to change hence the 4 stars. I would still recommend this place if it is convenient to your stay.

    I stayed at this hotel for 2 nights on my return journey. The room and bathroom were very neat and clean, providing a comfortable stay. The room amenities, including towels, toothbrushes, a razor set, shampoo, body lotion, and other thoughtful touches, were appreciated. The staff and service were pleasant, and dining at the restaurant was a good experience. The buffet offered a variety of options to suit different tastes. The pool and the rooftop bar added to the overall enjoyment. Check-in and check-out were swift and straightforward.

    One of the best hotels I've ever been. The food was delicious, and the buffet offered a wide variety of options. The hotel staff is extremely pleasant and competent. And I'm glad to note that on that day, one of my childhood dreams came true. That is to be performed in a Grand Piano of the hotel. Specially a white grand piano. I Still love the moment. It's unforgettable. My family and I had a great time and are looking forward to returning. ✨♥️

    Went for the Christmas gala, it was twice as much as the regular buffet, and was pretty much worth it considering that most other hotels had the same gala for a higher price... The buffet premises was decorated very nicely, and the food items included lamb, duck (authentic) and turkey. It was a night to remember and was a awesome day out with the family. Few down sides were that me and my family found the bacon to be a bit raw, and the cheese plate was not steady enough for people to cut the cheese. Overall a good experience, highly recommend to try out atleast the regular dinner buffet.

    A city hotel built like a resort. The hotel is pretty pleasant and peaceful. The rooms are spacious, well maintained and provides a comfortable stay. The restaurants serve good food and the service is on point. If you're on a family holiday, the highlight is the rooftop guest only area which provides an infinity pool and other recreational areas which help relax and have a good time in a pretty much semi private setting. For traveller's with families, the kids would definitely have a good time. Since the hotel is situated in a prime location in the city, access to most external amenities and access to food options outside are plenty. Rates are pretty reasonable as well. Highly recommend!

    Perfect service, great food, including breakfast. Good fitness center and swimming pool. This place is good both for family travelers and for those traveling alone. Location is good, not far away from lake and beach. Complimentary city tour is included in the room price, I took it while staying there: nothing special, but I enjoyed visiting temples and museum, and for the sunset they brought us to the beach, it was spectacular)

    Very happy with the darn staff. Wow, well trained and hard working. But the staff fall victim to "Kindness is Weakness " I also witnessed some guests who would treat them rudely. Their response did not change. Kindness and politeness. The buffet was good and varied. Reasonably priced. Take advantage of the free Colombo tour and the Pool. They also have a free shuttle to a private beach( we did not use that service)

  • 5/5 Marina N. 2 years ago on Google
    I been traveling a lot. A lot of countries and services I saw. In Colombo not first time. Marino beach the best hotel in Colombo. Everything what ever you can wish is available here. Hotel stuff very friendly, trying to make your stay comfortable and pleasant. Rooms are very very modern, stylish and fancy, bright! Amazing bathrooms, super room view. Adorable cleaning. The quality is everywhere here, in each detail! Very much recommending Marino beach for unforgettable stay in Colombo city! Best memories for all the life. Thank you!

    We have visited so many luxurious hotels around Sri Lanka. But to my surprise this hotel was absolutely amazing for its price. Room was super clean and had all the amenities at its best. And i was wowed by their rooftop garden and how they maintained it very green and so clean. Didn't feel like a rooftop at all!! And the infinity pool is one of the best with its amazing view! Also the breakfast was very delicious and all the food and the bakery items were super fresh! Last but not least, their staff was very friendly and attentive. I will recommend this hotel to anyone and i am hoping to visit soon again.😊🤗

  • 3/5 redeye p. 2 years ago on Google
    Marino beach was one of my favorite hotels in Sri Lanka. However my last stay wasn’t very pleasant at all. Room given to us has changed a lot in interior compared to the rooms we stayed before. Interior was very cheap looking. Not the stylish modern furniture that they had before. Service was exceptional as usual unfortunately, food has changed a lot in portion size and taste. Seems like chef keeps frozen pre made stuffs , re heating them when ordered for in room dining and sending them. Finally, why would hotel staff knock on the door 9 in the morning to confirm check out time when your policy clearly mention that check out time is 12pm. 🤷🏻 it’s very disappointing behavior from the hotel staff. It’s a shame on Marino Beach hotel for not maintaining your standards as usual. Would love to visit back again but only when it’s properly maintained and came back to previous standards.

    The pool was incredible, amazing to be on the rooftop! The room was incredibly clean, staff were very friendly and the overall decor was nice. My husband and I stayed for 2 nights and the hotel had a great location for exploring Colombo. There is some building work going on next to the hotel which could be inconvenient however, we spent lots of time exploring so this wasn't an issue for us.

    Everything was great and they even gave us an early check in and late check out. I would say the most pleasing staff I met was Ms.Prabodya at the rose lounge. she was smiling and attentive every single time we spoke with her. Excellent people skills! Overall a fantastic stay. Thank you Marino for being wonderful as always 😊💖

    I have stayed here like 7 times. Each day the service is great. Nothing to complain. Everything is perfect. Helpful, friendly and energetic staff. Their service is next level. The mini bar and the snacks are free for any package that you get. Every room has a balcony and a bathtub. Rooms are big and clean. Even the bathroom is big. Same as the photos that they have put. Delicious food and a big portion. I would easily recommend this hotel to anyone. For the price, worth the experience.

    One of the best hotels in Colombo. Had a wonderful experience in August 2022. Spent a whole week In here. Service was excellent, friendly staff, well maintained, great rooftop pool with the views. 24 hrs in room dining with full menu which is wonderful. Food is delicious as well. Definitely can recommend Marino beach hotel. And airport pickup/drop off was convenient.

    We had an amazing stay at the Marino Beach Hotel. The rooms are super clean and the view is next level. The kids also loved the rooftop pool. All staff were very attentive and friendly. The front manager Jainulabedeen in particular was extremely helpful and friendly. We would definitely stay here again. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Colombo.

    It was good. The check-in agent, Pravitha was very good, genuine warmth and very accommodating. However, there were minor issues with the room service, it took more than 10 minutes to deliver 2 portions of plain white rice. And, they didn't replace the towels during housekeeping. How can 2 guests share a towel. But all in all, the facilities and the rooms were amazing for its price. I would stay with Marino again.

    Marino Beach Colombo is a true treasure by the coastline! Right from the moment I stepped in, I was amazed by its contemporary and elegant atmosphere. Its location right on the oceanfront provides awe-inspiring vistas that truly enhance the stay. The rooms are like a haven of opulence and coziness, beautifully designed with every amenity one could wish for. The staff's warm and attentive service made me feel truly pampered throughout my visit. The rooftop infinity pool is a standout feature, offering a peaceful oasis with sweeping views of the city and the ocean. It's the perfect place to unwind and immerse oneself in the captivating surroundings. The dining experience at Marino Beach was a culinary delight. The wide range of cuisines served at the restaurant went above and beyond my expectations, and the quality of the food was exceptional. The hotel's proximity to Colombo's attractions and the sandy beach makes it an ideal starting point for exploring the city and enjoying the coastal beauty. Marino Beach Colombo offers a sublime experience that combines lavish comfort, breathtaking views, mouthwatering dining, and exceptional service. My stay here was truly unforgettable, and I'm eagerly looking forward to returning for another outstanding visit!

  • 4/5 Aideen M. 7 months ago on Google
    My sister and I had a lovely stay at Marino. The staff here are amazing and can't do enough for you. The room was bright and spacious with all modern facilities. The food is excellent. We ate at the Asian restaurant, lobby cafe, garden cafe and the buffet (breakfast and dinner). The pool is fantastic, perfect for your Instagram photos! The only negative is the lack of shade at the pool. The beds along the pool do not have umbrellas. The beds on the sundeck are not fit for purpose. The shade cover is cloth and the wind is constantly blowing them. They are impractical for a hotel at such a height where it is windy and they not fit for purpose. The area the hotel is located in is not great. Overall a lovely stay and I would recommend it.

  • 5/5 Saurabh P. 4 months ago on Google
    This property definitely deserves no less than 5 star rating. The hotel rooms are very modernly designed, spacious, and very clean. Morning buffet was very good and location is close to tourist locations. The staff was very helpful throughout the stay, as we were travelling with a 2.5 year old kid, they made sure we get a good experience. Mr. Ravindra from hotel is someone I would definitely want to mention for his hospitality, thanks. And the most important attractions of this property are infinity pool (awesome view) with outdoor rooftop jacuzzi and the gym. Best for 3 nights stay to cover this beautiful city.

    This is a good hotel with well laid out rooms. The location is in the centre close to the action. Great infinity pool on the roof top overlooking the Indian Ocean. They have a beach lounge 10 minutes away for which a free shuttle is provided. It was great swimming in the ocean. Buffet for dinner and breakfast were average plus. Definitely worth visiting again.

  • 5/5 Devmini Ivanya J. 2 months ago on Google • 24 reviews New
    It is always really the best thing ever to dine by the ocean and I took my mom out to lunch here at the tides restaurants. The lunch is served as a buffet and the food was really scrumptious. I was so glad they were able to fit us in for lunch without a prior reservation. The cumin flavored soup was a hit and I am not even a huge soup person. Next I really loved this particular cheese that I had there with veggies in it unfortunately I am not too sure what it is called. My favorite dessert was their biscuit pudding topped with custard and Jelly. Costed us both about 7900/- for both and I can definitely say it is worth for the price. I am only giving the staff a three star rating because they did forget the cocktail we ordered although I am sure it was because they were busy and was a genuine mistake. Overall it was a nice experience.

  • 5/5 Victoria P. 2 years ago on Google
    I took my 10 year old daughter for a travellers adventure across Sri Lanka. We ended our stay In this hotel and what a great stay it was. We upgraded on arrival (for next to nothing) after experiencing some questionable hotels across Sri Lanka this was a pleasant surprise. Food amazing! Room beautiful! I didn't really interact with staff but I was okay with that as we were having so much fun in the beautiful roof top pool.

  • 5/5 Anuk De S. 2 years ago on Google
    This is a lovely hotel that we stayed in for the weekend. It's clean and quite spacious. The Infinity pool is one of the best I've ever used. It was very clean and the location was quite amazing. The breakfast buffet was quite delicious too. Unfortunately, due to the health regulations, you need to wait a bit to be served. Other than that, had an amazing experience.

    What a magnificent place. The hotel is exceptionally clean, the rooms are huge and very comfortable. Every time I visit, I sleep like a baby in the huge bed with the softest pillows. Also, the bathroom has an actual bath and a really good shower. The staff are exceptional, always smiling and willing to help. This is one of the main reasons why my husband and I keep coming back! Thanks and see you soon ❤

  • 5/5 Shaheem W. 2 years ago on Google
    Had a great 4 nights stay in this hotel. Very convenient location at Marine drive which enables all the must dine-in restaurants in Colombo, nearby. We stayed at Premiere room and it was wonderful. The rooftop pool and the garden is superb and one of a kind in Sri Lanka. Speciality Chinese restaurant at 10th was great too. Best thing is it is adjoining Marino Mall where we did plenty of shopping. The hotel and the staffs are very helpful. Safe protocols due to Covid are on place. Fully equipped Gym and the personal trainer are great! Would definitely come back!!!

  • 5/5 The M. 2 years ago on Google

    Was a wonderful stay. Tried the suits. Marvelous. Spacious and comfortable. Was there only for the buffet breakfast- it was great. Nice location and nice views from the room. Reservations to check out was excellent and smooth. The front desk staff was polite and wonderful. The only minus point was that the rooms were not ready even by 3pm. Hope this could be improved.

    The hotel room was cleaned and well maintained. You can do so many activities. Room service and working staff did a great job. Foods are also great. When i check in they said breakfast included but they charge me extra for that. When i try to contact the front desk to resolve the issue no one picks up the phone.

  • 5/5 Binosha W. 2 years ago on Google
    I had our wedding ceremony at the Marino Beach Grand Ballroom and Mr. Thilina and Mr. Austin gave us a huge support. Food was amazing and super yummy and we got comments from everyone saying it was one of the best buffet they have ever had in a wedding. Ballroom hall looks great and has awesome lighting. The prices were quite reasonable. I can wholeheartedly recommend this hotel for anyone who are planning to have their big day.

  • 5/5 Hemal R. 2 years ago on Google
    It was such a great experience. Had a good time on Infinity pool and their chinese restaurant. Specially need to be mentioned that their service is totally fine. Highly recommend for everyone to visit there with your loved ones for having a fabulous time. but it might be better if you can go weekdays. because It may fully crowded in weekends. ❤️

  • 4/5 Anjana M. 2 years ago on Google
    Everything about the hotel is amazing. The stay, experience and food. It is well maintained. I am rating it one star less due to the reception staff. All of them are inefficient and slow. A lot of time is wasted in check in and check out. This needs to be improved. There are more staffs standing idle than working at the reception.

  • 5/5 Priti P. 2 years ago on Google
    We stayed for 3 nights at this hotel. Our experience was amazing. Hotel have a great view, amazing facilities and super customer service. Roof top infinity pool and restaurant facing the ocean was the best part of our stay. Hotel have wide range of restaurants inside having different cusines. Worth the money !

  • 5/5 Ebsy W. 2 years ago on Google
    A brilliant hotel in Colombo and highly recommended. The main positive aspects I found were: * The huge roof-top pool overlooking the sea. They even have separate Jacuzzi's there as well! * I think this hotel has one of the best gyms of any hotels anywhere (very well equipped) and was a welcome addition * Big modern spacious rooms with balcony and walk-in shower * Breakfast starts at 0630 (we're all rushing around and it's welcome that breakfast starts early) and it has a good buffet selection on-top! * The lift located in reception which takes you to the mall which in itself has a range of eateries Rooms seemed well insulated (no noise intrusion) which is good. In fact I have absolutely nothing bad to say as I had arrived very early (0830 in the morning) and they allowed me to check-in with no problem.

  • 5/5 Alena R. 2 years ago on Google
    Infinity pool on the rooftop is amazing. Buffet breakfast is quite nice, there is a lot of choice. Rooms are not very big, but it’s fine as long as you have a sea view balcony.

    No COVID protocols follows here. Bedsheets were smelling like someone has peed there and after informing to the staff they started laughing. This is not a five star. Not at all recommend this palace. Please don't waste your money here just by seeing that this is five start or by paid review

    Had a very very pleasant stay! A breathtaking ocean view from my room and the pool, friendly and helpful staff, very yummy food, safe hotel transport at night, and the list goes on. Wish my stay was longer. A very memorable experience :D Couldn't recommend them more!

  • 5/5 Melissa S. 1 year ago on Google
    One of the best hotels in Colombo I would say. Given the price, service, food and hotel room. The breakfast buffet is spectacular. Every room has a bathtub and every room has at least a partial view of the sea. The rooftop infinity pool and jacuzzis are a whole other experience and the hotel even offers a free sauna if you’re up for that sort of thing.

  • 5/5 IAM A. 1 year ago on Google
    One of the best hotels in Colombo. Good service great spacious rooms. The pool is magnificent, you can use the jacuzzi and pool till 11 pm night, that's the difference from other hotels and here. Room service is so quick and no extra charges on water bottles and towels.

  • 5/5 Andrew D. 1 year ago on Google
    Excellent in house experience. Ambience is excellent. Food is great and easy access to many entertainments. The staff are very courteous and supportive. With the fuel problem, enough in house facilities to keep you excited. Great place for a family outing.

    I stayed at this hotel in early May of 2022. This hotel is conveniently located in mid-town Colombo and is beautiful and clean. The hotel staff was super friendly, accommodating and eager to please you. My dining experience was great and have no complaints whatsoever. There were western, eastern and local cuisine varieties available to please every pallet. The rooftop infinity pool overlooking the Indian Ocean was breathtaking! The beautiful flower garden by the rooftop pool too was amazingly beautiful! The daily rate was affordable as well. The room was spacious, ckean and comfortable. The only noticeable oddity was the hotel room safe. It was not anchored to anything. When I asked the front desk staff, they said the room safes in every room is placed without being anchored to anything. Their reasoning was that they trust their staff. Although that maybe true, personally, I believe it is a personal sense of feeling your stuff in the safe are secure. Anyhow, I rank this hotel a 4.5 stars! I will stay in this hotel again! This hotel is a must experience location -- when the country's ongoing social unrest issues have been resolved (hopefully soon).

  • 5/5 Afsana J. 1 year ago on Google
    It’s one of the best hotels in Colombo. Stayed here few times and it was always a very good experience. They have spacious and well maintained rooms. Very good restaurants as well. Roof top pool in front of the sea with beautiful views and gym! Despite the ongoing protests for fuel and power cut in Srilanka, we did not face any discomfort no power failure in the hotel. All was perfectly fine. I would recommend this place to everyone.

  • 5/5 Damitha A. 1 year ago on Google

  • 5/5 Gimantha De S. 1 year ago on Google
    Marino is one of the best in Colombo. Roof top view was fantastic with the infinity pool and the surrounding view. Rooms are very clean and are equipped with modern facilities. Also There’s a balcony. There’s room service available, the staff was friendly and professional. Offers were available for credit cards when we visited in 2022 September. Recommended!

  • 5/5 Sachithra P. 1 year ago on Google
    The rooms are big, well cleaned and maintained. Infinity pool is a great experience. Food is great. Staff is friendly and helpful. I had only two negatives. They haven't put an extra bed for our triple room. But they did it as soon as possible after we asked. Second one is that the restaurant had a broken door to the outdoor dining area near the sea. It was not automatically closed and cold sea wind kept coming through it to the indoor dining room.

  • 4/5 Katie H. 1 year ago on Google
    Beautiful hotel with very comfortable and spacious rooms. Check in was smooth and efficient. The rooftop pool area was beautiful but the service was very hit and miss and the food was quite average. The breakfast buffet was fantastic. A great selection. But again the service was hit and miss, very slow. Beautiful hotel but some improvements needed in the service.

  • 4/5 Ruwanmalee D. 1 year ago on Google
    The hotel is a gem in the midsts of the busiest city. Rooms were very well organized, clean and welcoming. The view from the room depends based on the reservation. The roof top pool is without a doubt one of the best infinity pools I have seen, along with a couple of jacuzzi. There is a beautiful garden situated in the same floor as well. The buffet has a variety of food. It tastes fairly good. The customer service is high. If required to play few games, you can visit the Marino mall in the same building to enjoy time in their play area which will need to be paid separately. There is ample parking in the ground floor. Overall it is worth the cost.

  • 4/5 Joanna L. 1 year ago on Google
    We stayed at this hotel for one night as a touch down before moving on to Sigiriya. We had a lovely, clean, spacious room with a comfortable bed. My husband and I like to work out, have been at many hotel gyms, and have to say this was definitely up there as one of the best ones we have been to. The pool was lovely and clean and the setting was very well thought out. Only warning is that there is a huge construction site to the site of the infinity pool. Not really the hotels fault, but it seems to be a long on going project. Staff were very lovely and the food we had there was very nice.

  • 5/5 Purusoth 1 year ago on Google
    Awesome twin room setup. Well designed bathroom with the bathtub. Small refrigerator is also there with some drinks. Superb interior and exterior as well. Good customer service too. There many facilities available such as there is a mall in the lower floor which has food courts, play area and other shopping facilities too. Infinity pool on the rooftop as well

    Excellent hotel. Would give it more stars if I could. Their services and staff are incomparable. The hotel has lots of options and things to do like the gym, spa, steam, bars, pubs, garden restaurants and of course the pool with jacuzzi. Definitely a good option, possibly the best in this price range and a breathtaking view. Thanks to the staff for making us feel comfortable! Will definitely come back here!

    My recent stay at Marino Beach Colombo was an exceptional experience that left me in awe. This luxurious hotel surpassed my expectations in every aspect, from its stunning design to its impeccable service. The attention to detail is evident in every corner of the hotel, reflecting a commitment to providing a luxurious retreat for guests. The rooms at Marino Beach Colombo are spacious, beautifully appointed, and equipped with top-notch amenities. The comfortable beds, plush furnishings, and panoramic views of the city or the ocean create a sense of indulgence and relaxation. The room service was prompt and efficient, ensuring that every need was met with a smile. One of the highlights of my stay was the culinary experience at the hotel's restaurants. The variety of dining options catered to every palate, from fine dining to casual fare. The quality of the food was exceptional, with each dish crafted to perfection. The attentive and knowledgeable staff added a personal touch to the dining experience, making it truly memorable. The rooftop infinity pool offers a stunning view of the city skyline, providing a serene oasis to unwind and soak up the sun. The staff at Marino Beach Colombo were outstanding in their service and hospitality. From the moment I arrived, I was greeted with warmth and professionalism. The staff went above and beyond to ensure that my stay was comfortable and enjoyable, providing personalized attention and anticipating my needs. The hotel's location is another advantage, offering easy access to the city's attractions and the beach. Whether I wanted to explore the vibrant streets of Colombo or relax on the golden sands, everything was within reach. I highly recommend Marino Beach Colombo to anyone seeking a five-star experience in Colombo. It truly deserves every bit of its five-star rating!

    I visited the Marino Beach high tea along with an acquaintance. It requires reservation and to get the booking was a nightmare that lasted over a week. You are required to pay ahead but they will not take a credit card or debit card. It has to be a money transfer from your bank and must be paid ahead and acknowledged. Not a good place for foreigners or tourists because most of us do not have a local bank account to transfer funds. Once the transfer is done (between 2 of their banks) you have to nudge them to find out if the funds were received. Not once but numerous times and with long wait times. Once the ordeal is over you can go for high tea. The high tea lounge was clean and minimally decorated. The three-tier food tray was nice but much to be desired. The service was friendly and polite. The lounge was comfortable. Any extras you must pay for. We had a nice time despite the hurdles of getting a reservation. Going to rooftop was absolutely stunning. I do not recommend this place for high tea.

    When for a wedding to this place as well as stayed in a changing room. The rooms are well maintained and cleaned. With the beat amenities and standards. Maintained to a 5 star rating. The ballroom is very large and can accommodate more than 300 guests. There is good food.

    The only reason for the low rating is the poor front office staff. Staying here for 9 nights until the 30th Jun’23, any conversation with the reception is a struggle. In my view, this is primarily to do with the limited experience and the language fluency. This is an important department in a hotel, one which plays a very important role in customer satisfaction and retention. Surprised that the hotel has not given it the due importance and appointed those who lack the experience and maturity. Unfortunate to mention that you should not expect much from them if you are in a ‘superior room’ because it looks like that’s how the classification works ..

    Great value for price. Balcony, with ocean view, refrigerator, bathtub and shower, TV with BBC. Great pool and gym. Warna, with concierge, is particularly helpful. I'm not a big fan of buffets, but both the dinner and breakfast buffets were reasonably priced for what you could get @ 5000 rupees dinner and 4400 for breakfast. [We decided not to go out in the rain. ] Laundry service was also well priced - a dress was less than $2US to clean.

    We got a double upgrade at this hotel, so we really had a great experience. First, they upgraded us from a regular room to a corner room, because we arrived very late, and the next day they transferred us to a suite because our room was rented. The corner room is great with a view on two sides. The suite is wooow! Bedroom, living room, two kitchenettes and two large bathrooms. A really fantastic experience. The breakfast was also great. The pool and garden on the roof are a special experience.

    Clean, state of the art rooms with a taste of luxury. Booked a room with a partial view of the sea from the balcony. Comes fully equipped with amenities (including a minibar!) The ensuite had a shower and bath similarly equipped with its own toiletries. Overall the room was nice and pleasant, as well as the ambiance of the hotel.

    One of the best stays ever. Beautiful location right in front of the beach. Excellent customer service and yummy food. Many shopping places near by. Casino also adjacent to this hotel. Anyone who stays here will definitely enjoy their stay.

  • 3/5 Judicael D. 5 months ago on Google
    Positive: - Amazing service, kind staff and always there when you need anything - Bedroom is beautiful, all you need is there, bed are very comfortable, bathroom with bathtub and shower, very spacious - The gym is impeccable, all appliances you would need! - Amazing swimming pool and green areas on the top floor - Breakfast buffet is out of this world, delicious! Negative: - If you search peace away from the burst of the city when relaxing on the top floor by the pool, the drills from the building under construction next to the hotel will quickly bring you back to reality! But nothing the hotel can do about it of course!

  • 5/5 Rainer K. 7 months ago on Google
    Amazing experience. The hotel is very high tech comparing to most of the hotels I've been to. The pool is the main point of attraction here. Also the gym and the restaurants on top floor are breath taking. The room service is on top of their game and the food priced fairly. Laundry services and cleanliness is very good. Highly recommended.

    We had an amazing experience at this hotel during our two-night stay! The hotel was luxurious and impressive, the service was impeccable, and the buffets were amazing. Not only did the hotel have great indoor amenities, the rooftop also included an infinity pool with a incredible view of the beach, a green space with a nice walkway and even a sauna/steam room. The service was always excellent, the staff treated us very well and they even open the car door for you once you arrive at the hotel. They attend to any request in minimal time. Once again, the buffets were outstanding. The breakfast buffet is included as a part of the accommodation prices. The buffet was simply enormous; we were not expecting such a luxurious breakfast! Each buffet includes a range of traditional food, Western food, meat, desserts and much more. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Marino Beach Hotel and we hope to visit again.

    During my time in Colombo, I had the opportunity to stay at several hotels, and I must say that this particular experience was outstanding. It all began with the exceptional customer service I received at the concierge desk. The rooms and facilities were impeccably clean, and the staff was incredibly friendly. The dining experience was truly spectacular, especially for a buffet. The chef's culinary skills and presentation were top-notch. I highly recommend this place for anyone visiting Colombo; it's a must-stay.

    We had a short stay at Marino Bay after arriving into Colombo airport. The rooms were spacious and clean with a partial sea/city view from the balcony. The decor is quite dated compared to what we’d be used to in the UK, but this wasn’t a big issue. The pool is outstanding - very large infinity pool with amazing sea views. We also enjoyed a trip to the beach lounge and had lunch there which we enjoyed. The service from all staff was excellent and we were very impressed with this.

    Really neat, well-organized, and comfortable rooms, with superb sea views. The staff is really polite, and extremely helpful. The rooftop pool is a great place to relax, and the breakfast buffet is one of the best we have ever had.

    A conveniently located hotel in Colombo 3. It was clean and the rooms and bed comfortable. The staff at the entrance of the hotel to the reception were all very professional and helpful and went out of their way to ensure our requests were met. The housekeeping staff were helpful and courteous. The food emporium on the ground floor of the hotel serves a variety of delicious food. We will certainly be back the next time we come to SL.

    Lunch buffet was delicious, specially the desserts. Not too sweet, matched to the palate. But I suggest more space between tables because it saves the privacy of those who come to have the lunch while chit - chatting.

    One of the best hotels in Colombo and I found some best features that even other hotel doesn't have. Such as shopping areas/kids' playing areas/ food courts etc... Breakfast is excellent and food quality is very good. The staff was very friendly. The swimming pool is excellent. Want to enjoy your time in Colombo best place I recommend.

    Second time staying. Comfortable clean rooms. The receptionist was helpful. They have a gimmick where the contents of mini bar are free - no alcohol but a few bottles of pop, pack of peanuts and biscuits. Previously our ocean view room overlooked a building site so I requested a view. The lady on reception did her best to give us that which was nice. There's a rooftop gym and my weight lifter son found it met his standards. Roof top infinity pool that we didn't try last time as was raining. Maybe this time we will have a dip. The breakfast buffet is good value with a variety of options.

    The staff, to a person, were all friendly and very helpful. Very impressive hotel with modern, well-laid-out, and comfortable rooms. The rooftop pool is another great facility. The breakfast buffet was fabulous with selections for every taste. The stay included a complimentary city tour, which was a very nice touch.

    The pool ! The pool! The pool!! I woke up at 6am to head to the pool at 6.30am.. oh my the pleasant sea breeze, the view of the sea, the morning train.. all of that was just right at the heart of the city! We ordered room service for breakfast and the portions was very generous (our order was slim breakfast). Our room was a triple room, the bathroom was clean, the plug points were square pins (UK plug points).. the hotel is very convenient to access many places in colombo!

    Full value for money. The rooms were spacious and clean. The bathroom had all the amenities. The view of the Indian Ocean was an added benefit. Room service was very reasonably priced. Highly recommend to anyone visiting Colombo!

    The hotel is well maintained and at good location in Colombo. The check in was smooth and rooms are spacious and clean. Housekeeping is good here. In restaurant, breakfast buffet lacks vegetarian items but continental part is fulfilled. Doesn't recommend dinner buffet for vegetarians. There is also a mall attached to it.

  • 5/5 Sunanda D. 3 months ago on Google • 2 reviews New
    This is a good hotel with well laid out rooms. The location is in the centre close to the action. Great infinity pool on the roof top overlooking the Indian Ocean. They have a beach lounge 10 minutes away for which a free shuttle is provided. It was great swimming in the ocean. Buffet for dinner and breakfast were average plus. Definitely worth visiting again.
