“Cinnamon Grand's grand staff, dated frame”
Cinnamon Grand Colombo is an older Colombo hotel with an ideal location — dated room facilities but friendly excellent service, lovely dining-area tiling, a must-try Lagoon seafood restaurant, professional smiling staff (the doorman's smile stands out), a pool, and generosity like a post-sightseeing shower before a late flight; named staff including Samantha, Piyal, Vasantha and Chamila earn thanks. One guest calls it their worst five-star stay: a promised bag delivery never came, the ground-floor-bar-bass shook the room until 1am, staff were unfriendly, and the entrance-to-room walk is long. A late-checkout request also went unprocessed on day one.
