The pool area was great, but unfortunately, we did not use the pool. Breakfast was excellent. Great food and top of that excellent staff. Very helpful and ready to help and serve. Rooms are comfortable and very clean. Staff attended the rooms and it was great.

"Had an amazing stay at Alma Boutique Hostel! The cleanliness and new facilities were top-notch - it's clear the hostel takes pride in its upkeep. The owner was proactive and attentive, making sure everything ran smoothly. The only minor thing I noticed was that some light seeped into the room, particularly in the upper dorm, despite the shades. This might be a bit disturbing for some guests. Other than that, I'd give Alma Boutique Hostel a solid 10/10. The pros far outweigh the cons, and I'd highly recommend this hostel to anyone looking for a clean, comfortable, and well-managed place to stay. Great job, Alma!"

Beautiful and comfortable place to stay and relax. The host gave us a warm and friendly welcome and greeted us around 9pm at night. The host is very helpful and accommodate to our special request. We stayed at 2 different rooms and both have their own unique and beautiful decorations. Love both rooms especially the bathrooms very much. Feel like having shower in the nature. It's a good place to stay at the end of our holiday trip and will remember it always.

Excellent facilities and service at a great location. The Sheraton at Colombo made for an amazing stay based on its central location and excellent service. We were given an upgraded room based on my Marriott status and had access to the lounge which made for a relaxing area for a bite or a beverage. Rooms were spacious and had an excellent view of the ocean, which made for a serene experience when one woke up and during the day. What topped it all off was the excellent service and the help offered, be it for a list item on our flight in, or other hotel amenities. The breakfast spread was top notch with tons of varieties and customizations! Recommend it highly if you’re planning on a visit to Colombo!

Despite its unassuming appearance, this hotel in Colombo boasts a conveniently central location, providing all essential amenities for a brief stay in town.

Great spot! Lovely building in a good location (walking distance to a supermarket and a good base to explore Colombo by foot or cheap tuktuk). Very clean room and ensuite bathroom. Lovely rooftop with nice view. Use of the washing machine, kettle, fridge. Our host was welcoming, delightfully kind and so very helpful. You get a lot for a small price at this place. Highly recommended!

Lovely modern hotel overlooking the sea. Pool on the 9th floor small but very nice and cold beers went down well. Rooms were spacious, comfortable, well equipped, very clean and great bathroom. We loved the location - few cheap and cheerful street food/chea fun eating places and shops nearby and the lovely Barefoot cafe and shop round the corner. But very easy access to the centre of the city, Galle Face, markets, train station via tuk tuk for very little money.

This place is great, perfect location for everything you would want to see in Colombo and if you have Uber can get to places very easily and for very little money(a lot cheaper than flagging down random tuk tuks) Hotel rooms are modern and very clean. The rooftop pool/jacuzzis are a vibe, great for relaxing and all staff super friendly and accommodating.
