    I visited hotel Janaki for a seminar on 29th of September 2023. There are only few parking slots in front of the hotel but they have a spacy park in front of the hotel across the road. The seminar held in the Ruby hall on 1st floor which can accommodate around 150 guests. They have a separate buffet area at the back. The food was okay. Not wow. The welcome drink was js Sunquick and was tasting horrible. The buildings look old. Need renovation. The lift we were using did not have a CCTV camera. Service is fine. But they don't go for extreme extents to serve the guests.

Even the lunch menu ,fish curry I couldn't recommend for any. )

    I highly recommend it for women professionals and other women who need to stay alone. You feel homely safety and care. The hospitality of the staffs are much appreciated. Specially the women staffs.... I assure you will find your big sister there.

    I did NOT stay. I visited the hotel. They have a good size pool for a small hotel but it needs cleaning. Their rice and curry is NOT worth the Rs 400 - it is tasteless and poor quality. Their piece of chicken is very small and their fish is leathery.

  • 4/5 Shabira 2 months ago on Google β€’ 52 reviews New
    The receptionist is very helpful and speaks very good English. The restaurant owner Mano went out of her way to make sure we had everything. She kept cold king coconuts for us, they were very refreshing after being out in the hot weather. The owner of the hotel is trying really hard to make sure the hotel is up to the standards.

    I was there for 5 days workshop. From Pettah, you can reach the hotel within 30 minutes. Overall rooms are okay, but I'm not a fan of food here.

  • 3/5 Suvethanan K. 6 months ago on Google β€’ 12 reviews
    Went for a workshop on october 23, the place is not bad for a limited budget conference, seating, table arrangements are ok, coffee and snaks was good, limited variety of dishes on the buffet but tastes fine. Overall an outdated hotel still serves with basic facilities.

  • 1/5 Pamela N. 2 months ago on Google β€’ 6 reviews New
    Good location and nice staff, but the rooms are subpar with leaking ceiling, ants, stained old chairs and sheets and a musty carpet smell. It is obvious the building is old and in need of serious renovations.

  • 3/5 Rajitha P. 10 months ago on Google
    Participated to a conference, the hall is ok, But wash rooms are dirty and not up to standard. not clean and broken

  • 5/5 Prasanna H. 10 months ago on Google
    Overall good. However need acess to rooms more plasent. Rooms can do with an upgrade. Rooms are not sound proof.

  • 1/5 FIS de S. 10 months ago on Google
    Waited over 10minutes to taste the worst ice coffee in Sri Lanka. Instead of using milkmaid or fresh milk they used powdered milk to make the most expensive tastless ice coffee ever.

  • 2/5 Rumal V. 1 year ago on Google
    This hotel was a great hotel at the time. but it's services and maintaining is very bad now.

  • 2/5 GOOGLE MAPS REVIEWER OFFICIAL S. 1 year ago on Google
    The quality of the food they have was a hit. Their staff treated us like animals. Their guard made fun of our bodies.

  • 1/5 Amarasiri Senarath B. 2 years ago on Google
    worst food ever. didn't meet even the average quality. I ordered for Pick me food a mixed rice and Chicken Kotthu. But rice was made with normal samba rice and with only small chicken pieces. Koththu was also the same. not recommended. not worth for the money. Please improve the quality.

  • 3/5 Mahir Dyan A. 4 years ago on Google
    A hotel with average quality. The buffet lunches were good actually. They had quite a few dessert options available. But bathrooms should have been cleaner. Found the basins, paper dispensers and flashes not working properly.

  • 4/5 Dinej S. 4 years ago on Google
    This is a city hotel which is situated in a low traffic area. Actually this is an old hotel in Colombo and well planned. Rooms are spacious and clean. Restaurant is spacious and food is quite okay. Really a calm environment inside the hotel and looks like renovated recently. But the front office staff is not so friendly!! They don't even greet when visitor enters the hotel. It has to be developed. Because customer care is the most important thing in hotel industry. The same experience in the restaurant as well. But overall picture of the facilities in the hotel is okay.

  • 4/5 abilaash v. 2 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Yohan F. 2 years ago on Google
    I have stayed at the hotel for 2 days, during a workshop. The food was really above expectation. Reminded me of the taste of moms cooking. The stay was superb. I missed the opportunity to personally thank the chef. Thank you!

  • 1/5 Yasi T. 2 years ago on Google
    I was shocked when I saw the room, I expected more cleanliness and a nicer room for 16000 RS. (2 Days) The bathroom was dirty and smelled like urine. Definitely don't go there!!

  • 3/5 Sumedha J. 4 years ago on Google
    It's old and run down. But I think you get your money's worth. The breakfast buffet was surprisingly good. Plenty of space within the room. I couldn't help but think about how this establishment might have been during the 1970s. Furniture is old however the staff are very friendly.

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

  • 1/5 Randhula De S. 1 year ago on Google
    Absolutely ineffective and inefficient parking assistance by assinged suited staff of the hotel. Complete ignorant behaviour when visitors are exposed to difficulties because of their work.

  • 4/5 Lional A. 3 months ago on Google β€’ 1 review New
    We stayed four days last month in Hotel Janaki. Rooms are good but some doors of the wall unit are broken. Needs to be repaired. Location is good, very close to the city of Colombo and other shopping malls. Breakfast is very poor. No dessert for breakfast at all. They don't give atleast a banana for the breakfast. Quality of the breakfast should be improved.

  • 1/5 Rishitha P. 3 months ago on Google β€’ 1 review New
    Quality and the taste of the food is at the lowest level.. not recommended at all.
