Marino Beach Colombo

We came to Sri Lanka for Chinese New Year, and the country gave us a wonderful experience. The hotel's service was excellent; they even added an extra bed for us since we were traveling with a child. That evening, we had Chinese food on the 10th floor and saw the stunning infinity pool. The Chinese food was quite good. Breakfast was also fantastic, and we got to see the small seaside train from the second floor where we ate! And, of course, the ocean! The tea here is excellent, definitely worth trying.

Mostly individual travelers stay here, and it's very conveniently located with easy access to transportation and shopping. The service is excellent, everyone is very friendly and enthusiastic. The breakfast offers a good variety, and there's a free minibar. It's also easy to find places to eat nearby; if you turn left out of the hotel and walk about 500 meters, there's a restaurant with an amazing 'Big Long Burger' for only 35 RMB, easily enough for two people.

The hotel's location is a bit far from the city center, but the package offered by the hotel was quite good. Having dinner directly at the hotel's buffet was a great experience, and breakfast was also quite varied. The service was excellent. Definitely recommend.

The hotel has a great sea view, facing the Indian Ocean, and there's even a small train passing right by the entrance. During morning rush hour, people were even hanging off the train doors! However, the room amenities are too basic, comparable to a budget hotel. Other than that, everything else was fine!
