“Colombo's sea-view staple, awkward pool”
Hilton Colombo is a repeat first-choice in the city centre beside the World Trade Centre, facing the Dutch Hospital across the road, with sea-view rooms, a wide-variety quality breakfast, a beautiful pool, friendly helpful staff who arranged a cheaper van to Sigiriya and converted a third breakfast into an extra bed. Service is warm and professional throughout. One practical flaw: the pool and fitness centre sit a few minutes' walk away over a bridge and down two levels — awkward, especially for guests with disabilities.
