Perfect stay apart from two issues
I have stayed here before. So room and all accessories were perfect with two exceptions. Bedroom window/door to balcony, looked out on Galle Rd (i.e front facing). However double glazing not at all sound proofed and did not dampen street noises as expected. This is a disappointment. Secondly, TV was unable to pick up any channels telling me to reprogram them but then asking for a pin code. Last time it was the same although last time reception send a tech savvy gentleman to help. I did not have the heart to complain again!

Great Stay at Mandarina Colombo
We had a very comfortable stay at Mandarina Colombo! The team made the check-in process seamless and were very helpful throughout our visit, ensuring we had everything we needed. The food was amazing at the top floor restaurant.
The hotel itself is lovely, with great facilities and a pleasant atmosphere. However, as it’s located on a busy main street, be aware that the vehicle noise at night could be a bit of an inconvenience for light sleepers.
Overall, we had a fantastic experience and would recommend it to anyone visiting Colombo!

Pictures advertised did not match reality with hotel. Room facing the street was extremely noisy. There was also work going on in our floor which did not help with the noise so asked to change room. Carpet in hallway looked dirty and run down. Pool are did not look at all like in the picture.
