    They went out of their way and did more than what we expected. It was a smooth process from beginning to end. The quality of food and the services were excellent. Worth for the money spent. Friendly staff and atmosphere. We were mesmerized with the amazing set ups. The venue indeed gave a splendid and luxurious look. The food and beverage should be appreciated for it is one of best. Staff services were of its highest standards. In a nutshell, Hotel MaRadha is an ideal place to conduct all kind of memorable events of yours.

    I stayed Hotel MaRadha for 4 nights and my stay was great. The positioning of the Hotel its amenities and watching the sea day and night from hotel room is an ethereal experience. Location also easy to reach on Railway Station, Peaceful location and easily reach to Galle Face Park and mall also. The rooms were very clean and the ambience was awesome. All the foods were delicious. The staffs were very friendly, helpful and pleasant. This hotel has the best view of ocean from Roof top & Roof top infinity pool facing to sea was wonderful experience. I surely recommend others to opt this hotel for all its qualities & amazing ambience.

    Visited Hotel MaRadha for their Brunch buffet with a friend and it was wonderful. The choices were limited but the food was extremely delicious, including the desserts. The staff was very friendly and helpful, and paid close attention to serving us. The ambiance of the entire place was simply lovely, so I would definitely come back here again. Do keep up the excellent work and maintain the amazing standard!

    Good hotel which should have more stars than the Government is willing to give them. Rooms are clean and big. Staff is ultra friendly. Breakfast is buffet with many choices. Diner is also possible but you'll have to eat the soup. On rooftop is a bar and pool. And on ground floor there's a bar for cakes and juices. Would fully recommend this hotel.

    This is a fantastic hotel. I've stayed here twice now, and I thoroughly enjoyed both stays. The view of the sunset from the rooftop bar is simply breathtaking. The rooms: spacious, air-conditioned, spotless, and very comfortable. We stayed in ocean-view rooms on both occasions, and the sunset view is amazing. What put a slight dent for me in an otherwise more-than-pleasant experience was that on our second stay we were given a room directly next to the illuminated name banner of the hotel, and the light was so strong that it seeped into the room, despite the thick curtains/blinds, especially at the edges. Not a big deal, but that was enough to disrupt my sleep. The rooms were cleaned every day, and fresh towels were provided. The restaurants: the buffet was so memorable, writing this review after 6 months makes my mouth water. Traditional Sri Lankan food (some of the best I've had in the country; this is a serious statement, as my mum's and grandma's cooking are only marginally better), along with some basic European/Western food. Now, THE ROOFTOP BAR, just WOW! Very reasonably priced drinks, along with a fairly extensive menu of local and foreign dishes. The flavours were simply EXQUISITE. And the cherry on the cake -- The sunset view! DO NOT miss it! The staff: it's quite simple, really; go here to experience local hospitality at its best. Every single member of staff went out of their way to make us feel comfortable. Particular thanks to Ms. Ganga and the three lovely ladies who were serving in the 2nd floor restaurant. Thank you very much to everyone there. We will be coming back in September 2024. See you then!

    We stayed for just 1 night and it was fantastic they were even kind enough to give us a late check out. The rooms were lovely and big with a comfortable bed ,very clean, mini fridge,kettle and filled bottles of water. The view was partly ocean to one side and the view of a ugly dilapidated building the other half. The staff were fantastic. The roof top pool had a awesome view and bar and restaurant attached we had the fish(barramundi) and chips which my hubby reckoned were the best he had tasted in all of Sri Lanka my tacos were a hot soggy mess not really a salsa as we know salsa just a lot of onion probably my worst meal in Sri Lanka. But besides that the beer was nice and cold and we enjoyed our stay.

    Loved the vibe. It was calm and cosy. Went for brunch buffet. Had limited options hence the lower price than other buffets in town. Had only 2 vegetarian options in the mains. So not suitable for vegetarians. Had some nice options for non-vegetarians though. However, I would highly recommend the service. The staff were friendly and welcoming.

    I could have stayed at one of the big chain hotels in Colombo. But based on the pictures of the hotel and the reviews, I decided to give MaRadha a try. It did not disappoint me. The view from my suite room is gorgeous! The hotel staff are very helpful and polite. I received great hospitality! The overall value is totally worth it. I am happy that I get to stay with them.

    Had my baby's first birthday party here at the Royal code restaurant. The food was amazing. I must say the best I have ever had. My guests were giving me such great comments about the beautiful place and food. The staff was amazing and was very helpful. Even when organizing the event they were very flexible and gave tremendous support.

    I stayed here twice. On both occasions, the service and the support were excellent. The staff and the management are friendly and helpful. The rooms are clean and consist of all the necessary items. Food is also fantastic. The hotel has a decent-looking rooftop bar. The sea breeze gives you a salubrious environment.

    My stay at this hotel was enjoyable. Kavindu provided excellent service, and the reception staff were great too. The room was impeccably clean, offering a breathtaking sea view. The food was good, but there's room for improvement in terms of taste. Overall, I highly recommend it to anyone seeking a luxurious and memorable experience.

    We had a company event at MaRadha. The location was very convenient. The place was ideal for a small company gathering and we had around 30 people. The hall was perfect for us and it was overlooking the marine drive and the sea. It was beautiful in the night. The food was not great but it was not good. The hot butter cuttlefish was a little rubbery. The spread was okay. The F&B manager was not really helpful as such and was a bit cranky. (Couldn't get his name though). But the staff was amazing and very helpful and cheerful. Overall the experience was good.

    Hotel MaRadha is an excellent hotel on excellent location, extremely clean & comfortable . Upon arrival, we were warmly welcomed by the friendly reception staff with welcome drinks. Great restaurants with tasty food choices. We enjoyed the breakfast buffet every morning with a great variety of options to choose from. Would definitely recommend this hotel to everybody! It's a true sample of excellent hospitality. Thank you again Hotel MaRadha for going just that little step extra for the guests!!!

    I stayed here for 1 night in December 2023. The hotel was very nice, with the quality of the room and food both exceeding my expectations. The view from my room was spectacular. The staff were also very friendly, and gave me a number of suggestions on food and attractions for my albeit short stay in Colombo. The staff helped organise transport to another location (~4 hour drive) and my driver Udeesha was very helpful, pointing out points of interest along the way. I would highly recommend Hotel MaRadha to anyone, and will be staying here again.

    We entered the MaRadha hotel and on the first day itself we realized it as a MaRvellous hotel. We were extremely happy with our stay in a marvellous comfortable sea side room The staff were exceptional especially the restaurant, reception and other services Another exceptional service is breakfast buffet Overall excellent valuable stay in hotel RaMadha about a week Bala and Vimala from New Zealand

    We went to the rooftop bar/restaurant on a Friday night. It was a nice chilled out space with an amazing rooftop view overlooking the marine drive and the ocean. The food was moderate, have space to improve a lot in terms of its taste. My husband arrived late and his order took ages to come. My friend and I ordered a 'Gin & Sin' which was supposed to have gin, orange juice, lime juice and grenadine, but it tasted only of orange juice. The gin taste was not felt at all.

    Fantastic hotel and great amenities. The staff are super helpful and the breakfast is really nice. Chalali is really an amazing manager at the reception and she looked after us really well. And madushan was a very good receptionist, helped me with the extension of our stay. Brilliant location of this place and very nice view from the presidential suite and other rooms as well.

    What a fantastic experience we had whilst staying at Hotel MaRadha. We loved all aspects of the hotel including the staff, the rooms, food options, rooftop bar/restaurant including the pool, the ground floor cafe, cleanliness, views and excellent location. Our expectations were certainly exceeded. The hotel has everything you need and could get at larger hotels, however the experience was much more pleasurable, personable and unique. After finally returning to travel to Sri Lanka from Australia since COVID-19 we were extremely fortunate that we chose to stay at this hotel. Within a few days we got to know the friendly staff which made us feel at home and very welcome during the stay. I would definitely recommend staying at this hotel.

    The property was absolutely fantastic in terms of the location, cleanliness, design, food, facilities and professional and friendly staff. It s so close by to everything essential The quality of the furniture is second to none! I have travelled many times to Sri Lanka and hand down this is so by far the best stay! And hope to come here again!

  • 5/5 Bea R. 5 months ago on Google
    The hotel is very nice. The rooms are worth the money and the staff is super friendly and helpful. The location is great, as you are not in the city center and having seaview. Just a block away you get everything you might need. It is a good place to start your holidays, as they offer airport transfer, daytrips and a 8 day tour. Please ask for Udeesha! He picked usup from the airport and next day he showed us Colombo in a 3 hour trip. Spontaneously we decides to go with him on a 8 day trip. He is a very good guide and knows his country. He went out and beyond our expectations. He adapts to your needs and always has a smile. Highly recommended. He gets 10 out of 10 from us. Thank you for making your holidays so exceptional.

    Neat and clean rooms, tasty buffet breakfast with varied srilankan varieties and English breakfast too. Rooms are not very big but sparkling clean and view from the large windows of the beach is amazing! Overall a good place to stay as it's close to most popular places in Colombo city! Thank you Team Maradha. We had a wonderful stay!

  • 5/5 Chris H. 5 months ago on Google
    We stayed for seven nights at Hotel MaRhadha, and what great pleasure it was! Excellent, helpful staff right from when we checked in until the day we left (thank you Challany and all your staff). We had many meals in the restaurant on the first floor, a great choice at the buffet breakfast, made even more enjoyable by the helpful wait staff (thank you Apsara). Many, many thanks for making outstay memorable, we hope to see you again.

  • 5/5 kelvin b. 11 months ago on Google
    The hotel is modern and had all the things that matter to me such as excellent air conditioning, fast internet and a very supportive team of staff. The breakfast buffet with hoppers cooked on request is the best value that I have found in Colombo and this is the only place with a 24 hr coffee shop that actually has good coffee

  • 2/5 Dharsheca V. 11 months ago on Google
    We were there for their brunch buffer on the 7th May and was disappointed as there was just a basic lunch buffet. Not even a live egg station. When inquired about eggs they said its only for breakfast and we there at 11.30 itself. The basic lunch menu was OK but not much variety. The drinks and the dessert was too sweet ( better to avoid) Overall the ambiance was nice and the service was good.

  • 5/5 Alan M. 11 months ago on Google
    We stayed here for two nights upon our arrival in Sri Lanka and again for another night as we departed. The hotel is well situated near the heart of Colombo and not too far from the airport (around 40 mins out of rush hour). Both our rooms had great views across the Indian Ocean through floor to ceiling windows and both rooms were clean and spacious. The staff also went above and beyond to ensure we enjoyed our stay and were particularly accommodating of our young family (kids 3 & 5). Would highly recommend for anyone looking for a good value stay in Colombo.

  • 5/5 jen h. 9 months ago on Google
    We had a brief 2 night stay. Friendly, helpful front desk staff greeted us with a refreshing glass of tamarind juice. Clean, good size room, with very nice ensuite. There was an excellent selection and range of foods at breakfast. Had I known earlier, I could have asked for a breakfast to go, on the morning we left before breakfast started, but it was no big deal. The pool looked gorgeous, but was a bit too chilly to jump in. Parking for taxis / uber was convenient, either out the front, or up the side street. The views from the restaurant over the ocean were gorgeous. I can't fault this hotel or it's staff, and would happily return. Thank you for your hospitality.

    What a superb hotel! The staffs are so friendly and helpful. I was supposed to stay for a week but I felt so relaxed that I had to extend my stay for another week. Food was mouth watering! The hotel view is breathtaking. So my stay at MaRadha Hotel was one of the best and I’m definitely coming BACK.

  • 4/5 Fefe Z. 1 year ago on Google
    This hotel was affordable and great for a one night stay. We booked it for the night after our flight just to relax and the staff was very nice and accommodating. The rooms are good but the AC isn’t the best. We didn’t get to see the view from the top but i image it was amazing because it’s located across from the beach. Location is great and you can easily find a tuktuk outside to take you wherever, just always ask for a meter tuktuk because they do tend to charge foreigners more!

Every member of the team, from the diligent housekeeping staff to the warm and attentive receptionists, treated me with genuine kindness and professionalism. The level of service provided was outstanding. The cleanliness of the room was impeccable. I cannot praise the staff enough for their friendliness, attentiveness, and dedication to ensuring a remarkable experience. The exceptional service and immaculate accommodations made my stay at Hotel MaRadha Colombo an unforgettable one. I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone seeking a truly outstanding hotel experience.

  • 5/5 Vishnu J. 1 year ago on Google
    I recently had a wonderful stay at Hotel Maradha. The staff was incredibly welcoming and attentive, making me feel right at home from the moment I arrived. The room was spacious, clean, and well-appointed with all the amenities I needed for a comfortable stay. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and I slept like a baby every night. The hotel's restaurant served delicious food .The Sky yard rooftop pool and bar were the perfect place to relax and take in stunning views of the city. The attention to detail and quality of service truly set it apart from other hotels.

  • 5/5 Robbin S. 1 year ago on Google
    This is a cool city hotel with a great rooftop bar/restaurant and small but awesome pool overlooking the ocean. The rooms are modern, clean and comfortable. We can't thank the staff enough for making us feel welcome, helping book taxis and a dinner reservation. Glad we stayed here!

  • 5/5 Am m. 1 year ago on Google
    Great location and excellent service. Staff are very friendly and accommodating (I was in and out of Colombo over a period of 2 weeks and they supported throughout). Rooms are modern and beds are comfortable. The rooftop bar gives a great view of the city and ocean and great small bites Looking forward to going back again next time I'm in the neighbourhood!

  • 5/5 Kevin Drew C. 1 year ago on Google
    Amaizing rooftop bar. Nice vibe. Staff are so concentrated and quick to respond. Their suggestions and recommendation of food and beverages is very helpful to choose a good choice. Love the signature cocktails they have. My girlfriend very much enjoys the Tan Lady and Sleep on Marine Drive. She drives crazy and we enjoy everything a lot.

  • 5/5 Harsha N. 1 year ago on Google
    We had a wonderful time at Hotel MaRadha, Sky Yard Bar and Lounge. Mouth watering food in a beautiful rooftop area with the amazing view of sunset and sea breeze will give you a heavenly experience. Good vibes, very helpful and friendly staff will make you come again. Tips : 1. Try Chef Sudheeras secret recipe's in the menu, they are awesome. 2. Visit there towards the evening like 3,4PM and you'll be able to chill in the infinite pool, tasting a cool beer maybe and enjoying the sunset.

    I had a pleasant stay at MaRadha. Stayed for a week in the 1 bed panoramic suite. The ocean views are awesome from the room and the hotel location is very convenient to go around the city. Hotel staff are really nice and I have to mention Shaheed in particular for taking good care of us right from the booking to helping us post check-out. Highly recommend this place.
