Mount Lavinia Hotel

Gerhard Weber

Only positive point - the location. Other than that i cant understand any positive reviews about this hotel. Dirty and no guest service. checked in late at 23:00 on the 23.3.25. The hallway to the room was full of service trays from other rooms with left over food/bottles/cans. Ok, some guest partied till late. Same trays found next day morning at 9:00. Room: Dirty, mould in bathroom, ceilings and walls. AC loud and not cooling (managed a few hours sleep with ear plugs). Cabinets, carpets, even bedsheets with stains. Security lock missing. Hallway ceiling water leakages. List can go on. Booked for 2 nights and checked out first morning. Reception claimed that only booking.com can refund the second night (full payment was requested at check in). Since then hotel doesnt reply to any message/email. not even to the request for an invoice copy. neither they reply to requests from booking.com. STAY AWAY. Oldest hotel? Colonial Style? Most likely that was the last time they renovated, cleaned and trained the staff.

Our beachfront room was fantastic! The room was spacious, well-maintained, and the direct access to the garden was a definite plus. The view of Mount Lavinia beach was quite good. We were very pleased with the food, which offered a great variety for both dinner and breakfast. The action kitchen was a definite highlight! This location is also a great spot for wedding, homecoming, or other occasion photos. The limited parking area is the only concern.

I highly recommend staying at this hotel! The service is exceptional, with attentive staff who go above and beyond to ensure a pleasant experience. The food is simply amazing, featuring a diverse menu that delights the palate. Whether you're enjoying breakfast, lunch, or dinner, each dish is beautifully prepared and bursting with flavor. If you're looking for a place that combines top-notch hospitality with outstanding cuisine, this hotel is a perfect choice!

The property location, history, and fantastic staff is so good that I feel the owners are doing a disservice to themselves by not investing into maintaining their rooms and hotel a little more. The hotel has a fantastic beach and the views from the rooms are fantastic especially the sunset views. The breakfast and lunch buffet spreads were huge! I only wish they had more types of Dosa. They also have a nice museum tour which the breakfast host will be more than happy to take you on if you ask him. However, the rooms need maintenance. Maybe replace the stained carpets with stone flooring or tile flooring, and the sofas need to be reupholstered. Also they need to seriously clean all that sticky dust on their telephone. And please oil the balcony door so it doesn't become tough to open for an old person.
