Marino Beach Colombo

The stay was absolutely amazing. The hotel is beautiful, the rooms are clean and comfortable, the staff are friendly and welcoming, and the service is outstanding. I truly enjoyed every moment and would definitely love to come back. Highly recommended!

I had a fantastic stay at the Marino Beach Colombo Hotel, and I’d happily recommend it to anyone visiting Colombo. The energy of the hotel matches the city in the best way—there’s a lively, enjoyable atmosphere that makes the whole experience feel fun and memorable. One highlight for me was the great view from the hotel. It really adds to the overall vibe and makes it feel special, even when you’re just stepping out to take a moment. I’d highly recommend booking a room with a balcony. As a mature solo traveller, that private outdoor space made a big difference—especially in a city that can be hot and busy. Even when the day is energetic, the balcony offers that easy, tranquil respite you need to recharge. And the rooftop infinity pool? Absolutely wonderful—great views, a fantastic atmosphere, and a calm break from the city buzz. I also need to make special mention to Upendra. The entire reception/concierge service was brilliant, but Upendra’s attention to detail truly stood out. He supported me with my eSIM and helped with my transport needs, and I genuinely felt valued and cared for—like I was a beloved auntie. It’s exactly what I appreciate from young, enthusiastic staff. Finally, I have to mention the beach club. It was a great experience—and thanks to the life guard, I even got to enjoy a “tethered” swim in the sea. (And yes—at almost 6 feet tall, tethering this Viking shield Maiden really isn’t as fun as it sounds 😄😂) Thank you again, Upendra—and thank you to the Marino Beach Colombo Hotel team.

Very good service and allowed early check in when a room was available. Would recommend to friends and use again if traveling to Colombo. Roof pool worth a visit!

The room is soo nice and spacious. So clean and hotel staff are really friendly and helpful. There is a shopping mall and places you can have fun in the same building. A huge swimming pool as well. I always stay at marino beach colombo.

Great hotel with very reasonable room rate. Stayed in premier king room with balcony so i can smoke outside while watching the sunset

⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good stay, great staff — pool‑side dining rules a drawback The team at Marino Beach Hotel were absolutely amazing warm, attentive, and always ready to help, which made my stay really pleasant and comfortable. The one disappointment was the strict policy: Food are not allowed near the pool or sun‑lounge areas, only in one corner of the rooftop Level 10. This isn’t a practical choice many guests want to relax and enjoy a light meal or snack while staying by the water. Having to dry off and change fully to enter the restaurant meant it was often empty, and I think the hotel misses out on extra business this way. Otherwise, a nice, well‑kept property with lovely people just hope they review that rule soon.

Avoid: Misleading Room Categories & Poor Service I booked two "Superior King Rooms," but upon arrival, the hotel claimed this category doesn't exist and forced me into basic "Deluxe" rooms. They continue to advertise these non-existent categories online. As a family with elderly members and children, we were also assigned rooms at opposite ends of the floor, despite our request for proximity. Management was dismissive and blamed the booking platform rather than taking responsibility for their own inventory. Be aware: What you book is not what you will get. I expected 5-star service but received a downgrade and zero accountability. Save your money and look elsewhere.

This hotel is second to none in regard to friendly, welcoming staff & cleanliness. The hotel provides an amazing buffet breakfast. Comfy beds & large rooms.

Had a great stay ! Everything was perfect and great selection in the buffet area and other restaurants. Amazing rooftop with pool and bar. Lovely staff both in reception / restaurants and Spa. The only minus was the room view and rooftop view due to construction going on, but it’s not that important for me. The room was spacious and with great facilities, loved their bath lotion and speaker in the bathroom as well !! Definitely recommend.
