    I have mixed feelings about this hotel. The room was quite spacious. The people in the reception are kind and friendly. But I had serious issues with the service at this hotel. The first day we were told that they don't buy shampoos anymore to provide for the guests. The TV in the room just powers on. There are no channels to view. Even the basic channels ask you to pay the subscription. The hotel's WiFi works 50% of the time. The AC in our room started giving error messages - we had to switch off and on at least a 30 times during our stay. Each time we had to give the AC a break so it can work when we switch it on. NOT WORTH FOR THE PRICE.

    This is a low cost hotel that just about meets the travellers needs. Situated in Wellavatta that almost at the edge of Colombo City tucked away in a small lane off Marine Drive. The hotel is ideal if you are price conscious and don't really care much about quality or style. Ideally suitable for bachelors who are out all day and are just looking for a place to get some shut eye. Overall a place I would avoid.

    It is a good hotel in terms of money. It is a good place for economic type stay in Colombo city. It is located in a calm place even thought is in populated area. Facilities: 2 out of 5 – not bad for budget Price: 3 out of 5 Quality: 3 out of 5 for kind of old stuff smell Parking: 3 out of 5 Environment: 4 out of 5 for calm Customer care: 2 out of 5

    Visited the anjapar restaurant for lunch not for accomodation.but service was terrible at this restaurant and visiting from a distance expecting to have a good meal but keeping for almost 45minitues ordered meal wasn't served have to cancel and happen to walk out ,nor single manager or supervisor bothered to address to the delay issue ,like us there were families got away due to delay.one thing we happen to see there were take away and delivery is happening without giving prominent to in-house already seated customers ,waste of time and hopefully you may not spend a cent on future .replace a proper who can speak Tri language person as a supervisor.shall never recommend this for anyone.

    Very well maintained rooms. They’ve a restaurant downstairs but we haven’t tried food except for coffee. Not a great coffee though. Some rooms are small so check before booking if you’re looking for a spacious room. They haven’t provided a dental kit, however there’s a small soap. Even though we left early in the morning they’ve packed us sandwiches by 6:00 in the morning. Located close to the beach.

  • 1/5 Parinitha C. 2 months ago on Google • 8 reviews New
    Experience of my stay 1. We were a team of 35 people and the staff did not treat us properly 2. Entire property was not at all clean 3. Reception area was very smelly and their was a rat dead in the surrounding 4. Even if we reported all these issues,no action was taken 5. The drainage system in bathroom was so bad that our family people feel sick 6. Their was not current in the middle of the night for more than 3 hrs.The in-house staff were unable to fix the electrical issue they had in their property 7.This is the worst place to stay 8. They say, tobacco free and smoking free zone. But reality was entire property was filled with smoking smell.This is not ideal place for kids, family or friends

    Rooms are good, neat and first-rate. This hotel has all it needs to be worthy of called a three star hotel and it offers more.

  • 2/5 Tony N. 11 months ago on Google • 6 reviews
    Disappointing experience and I wouldn’t recommend. The room was overall fine for a budget hotel. The location was fine since it was less than ten minutes to the beach, but it’s quite far from the city center and not walkable to any main attractions in Colombo. My particular experience was disappointing because the power went out for an hour at 11pm, the breakfast was by far the worst of the 5 hotels I’ve stayed at in Sri Lanka, plus the staff didn’t deliver on a couple of commitments they made to me without explanation.

    Exceptional Stay at Nelly User Write a review for hotel Nelly marine ChatGPT Title: An Unforgettable Stay at Hotel Nelly Marine Rating: ★★★★★ I recently had the pleasure of staying at Hotel Nelly Marine during my vacation, and I must say that it exceeded all my expectations. From the moment I stepped into the hotel, I was greeted with warm smiles and exceptional hospitality that lasted throughout my entire stay. The location of Hotel Nelly Marine is truly unbeatable. Situated right by the stunning coastline, the breathtaking ocean views were a sight to behold. Waking up to the sound of crashing waves and enjoying the picturesque sunsets from my room was a dream come true. The hotel's proximity to various attractions and amenities also made it convenient for me to explore the surrounding area. The staff at Hotel Nelly Marine deserve special recognition for their exceptional service. From the front desk personnel to the housekeeping staff, everyone went above and beyond to ensure my comfort and satisfaction. They were always available to assist me with any inquiries or requests, and their genuine friendliness created a welcoming and inviting atmosphere. My room at Hotel Nelly Marine was spacious, elegantly decorated, and meticulously clean. The bed was incredibly comfortable, providing me with a restful sleep each night. The attention to detail was evident, from the high-quality toiletries in the bathroom to the thoughtfully placed amenities that catered to my every need. One aspect that truly stood out during my stay was the culinary experience at the hotel's restaurant. The talented chefs crafted a delectable array of dishes that showcased both local and international flavors. Each meal was a delight for the senses, and the attentive staff made dining a truly enjoyable experience. The hotel facilities were top-notch. The swimming pool offered a refreshing retreat, and the fitness center was well-equipped for those looking to stay active during their stay. Additionally, the hotel's spa provided a serene oasis where I indulged in rejuvenating treatments, leaving me feeling completely relaxed and pampered. Overall, my stay at Hotel Nelly Marine was nothing short of extraordinary. The combination of breathtaking views, outstanding service, luxurious accommodations, and delectable dining made for an unforgettable experience. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone seeking a memorable and rejuvenating getaway. I can't wait to return to Hotel Nelly Marine in the future!

    I had the worst experience with one of the evening staff. He was incredibly rude and was talking to a friend who then wanted to fight. Will never come back, and do no recommend to anyone travelling from aboard.

  • 4/5 Gaurav S. 5 years ago on Google
    Had an ok experience on my stay at the hotel in Colombo. The only reason this hotel is getting 4 stars is because of its location, it is located in walking distance of the marine drive of Srilanka where you can enjoy scenic sunrise /sunsets. For the rail enthusiast, you can get to see the srilanka railways passing by for the rail tracks are just running parallel to the marine drive. Coming to the rooms, the layout of the room was not good to my liking, with wardrobe just at the entrance. The washroom was super clean with modern lavatory fittings(maybe because it seemed to be newly constructed hotel) but the door was not properly designed and had issues while locking. Do not expect any view by the seaside since the hotel offers only city view (we liked the tree side view where there was enough oppurtunities of bird watching with bulbul, kingfisher in abundance). The breakfast buffet was good to taste with dosa, sambhar and idli on top of my list. It seems the hotel is quite new and there is some flaws in its design for eg. The lift lobby area had some seats to enjoy some time but you cannot enjoy seating since the room air conditioner exhaust is facing it thereby making it extremely hot. Would recommend some improvement in staff etiquette (although there were some staff who were very courteous) for there was one incident wherein we reached the rooms but our luggage did not since the boy carrying our luggage went to some other floor to accompany outer guests.
