Reviews for Berjaya Hotel Colombo

Review 1：Except the location, there is nothing that is good about this place. Staff were indifferent and the service was very poor. Most of the staff does not even speak OR understand english

Review 2：Close proximity to beach side !!! An Indian Chef Suresh Rana in one of the beach side restaurant did cook few delicious vegetarian dishes for us during our stay and it was very tasty

Review 3：1. THE ROOM CONVERTED RATE ONLINE IN BOOKING.COM DIFFERED FROM ACTUAL PRICE WHEN PAYING BY OVER Rs 4000/=. 2. THE ROOM WAS NOT NOISE PROOF AND HAD A TERIBLE TIME WITH MUSIC PLAYING TILL 6AM NONE STOP ON ADJACENT PROPERTY. AS WELL AS NOISE FROM TRAINS VERY LOUD. 3. STAFF WAS VERY EAGER TO CHECK ME OUT AFTER INFORMING THAT I MIGHT NOT RETURN FOR THE SECOND NIGHT I BOOKED. 4. CAR PARK WAS OVER CROWDED DUE TO OTHER FUNCTION GUESTS AND PREFERENTIAL WAS NOT GIVEN TO INHOUSE GUESTS.

Review 4：THE ROOM WAS LARGE AND BED WAS COMFATABLE . FOOD WAS GOOD TOO.

Review 5：There should be arrangement to take the customers from hotel to the beach restaurant. Having Conference is good but it appeared crowded and the entire hotel ambience was missing

Review 6：The location is excellent

Review 7：Some staff knocked on our door within 2 hours we had checked in, asking at what time we will leave and they charged us 10900 in the morning saying that was the full amount,then later while checking out they said the dollar rate increased so you have to pay another 200 rupees.Was seriously annoyed at these short comings.

Review 8：the swimming pool was alright and the breakfast pretty good.

Review 9：Cleaning could not keep cockroaches away. Insects in the food in the evening

Review 10：Helpful staff in reception. Nice breakfast. Spacius rooms. Location very good.

Review 11：I was checked in to a room that was not cleaned. Stains on the sheets, dirty toilet. I requested for a late check out just as a compensation and was denied by the duty manager on that night in a very rude manner. His reply ' sir we cleaned your room right, so i cant give you a late check out.... breakfast horrible.. i would go back just to see if this reviews will help them improve their standards.

Review 12：There was a smell in the room, wasn't sure what it was, reminded me of spray used to hide the smell of a dead body.

Review 13：The poop attendant was a really nice guy, very good at his job and friendly. Also the guy who cooked the omlet was brilliant all other staff were useless, grumpy and inadequate.

Review 14：Bed sheet had stains, A/C was so poor we were sweating half of the time until mid night and aslo from early morning.They charged me for a Deluxe room (booking.com) but gave me a standard room (111) on the ground floor. Loud DJ which ruined our sleep then the trains every half hour like... not a pleasant sleep at all specially when A/C was also not enough

Review 15：Decent breakfast considering the fact it was included in the deal.

Review 16：The stuff of the hotel is very good and helpful, Nice ambiance just in the beach, Swimming pool is excellent, Breakfast and dinner is like amazing. Its just more than value.

Review 17：For the six days we stayed the bed linen was never changed. The other party who came with us complained that their linen was not changed after the previous occupants. The house keeping staff were very loud shouting from one end to the other. The balcony was never cleaned. The corridors were always dirty. Breakfast really average. Management should check out what is given at other hotels. Wait staff not very attentive. They looked like hotel school drop outs. Pl train your staff. The rasa Malasia Restaurant was a joke. Food inedible and staff again not attentive. They seem to run around people they knew. Does this chef know anything about cooking? I could have shown him how to make a proper biryani. I wouldn't recommend this hotel at all.

Review 18：The manager who kindly extended our check out time. The front door ushers who always had a smile.

Review 19：The breakfast menu was really average. Need to rethink of a better menu. Restaurant staff need to be more attentive. The six days we stayed bed linen was never changed. Linen should be changed more frequently. The linen in second room we booked had not been changed after the previous occupants have left. House keeping staff need to be more quiet, they were shouting in the corridors. The corridors need to be swept and mopped. Please air condition the lift. We had the misfortune to dine at the Beach side Malaysian Restaurant. My Tom Yum soup was red coloured water with miniscule pieces of unidentifiable seafood and lots of clumsily cut onion. The biryani was inedible. Does this chef know how to cook? Staff were not very welcoming. They ran around people they seem to know. Overall, all the staff in the hotel need to be trained in what it is to be in the hospitality business. Improve general cleanliness in the hotel.

Review 20：The Manager - was kind enough to extend our check out time. The two front door ushers were really friendly and always had a smile.

Review 21：AC too old and out door unit is corroded HSK request for iron took 1 hour or more Belcony cleanliness was poor. can see bird poop?? Toilet fittings were not polished and looked like someone else had checked out few minutes back Noise from the nearby railway track.......very noisy inside the room when trains travell

Review 22：Staff attentive and polite Location of the hotel right next to the beach

Review 23：Out toilet leaked the whole time, which was a little irritating.

Review 24：The location and price of the hotel was good. The staff were very helpful and friendly, was a great place to stay.

Review 25：Local of hotel is excellent,and the staff are very friendly and helpful.meals are very good value for money also delicious.we' love to return soon.

Review 26：One one occassion I saed there ther was an incredibly loud party at the hotel that you could hear a mile away down the beach. I stayed there again after getting assurances there was no party that night. True, but the is a nearby nightclub that was almost as loud (on a Saturday night) and the noise went on until 5am.

Review 27：Needs an upgrade. The rooms are a bit tired. The doors to the balconies and the balcony itself needs an upgrade.

Review 28：Loved the location to the beach. The staff and the pool. The beds were comfortable from 2 rooms we had booked. The breakfast was also very good. Plenty of choice.

Review 29：sevice slow but thats the norm in sri lanka the hotel backs on to double train lines very noisy early in a morning please train the chefs to fry eggs thats if they are chefs

Review 30：a clean place, beach bar good nice pool area but too much clorean

Review 31：-Standard room was dirty -Bfast was served in 3 different rooms due to lot of indian weddings-One venue was unacceptable- This was addressed by the hotel after complaints -Loud music from wedding on one night out of our 5 nights stay -No itemise bill and long wait at check out-Very long wait to obtain one- ( someone had to physically go to restaurant across the bridge and our room( use the bar in the room) to get one -Felt put off by Nilan's distant customer approach- Hotel has great potential if only management is prepared to invest to ensure, cleanliness is maintained at all times and an uplift of the hotel to achieve 3.5 (European) star rating

Review 32：Nice location, most staff are warm, welcoming and keen to rectify any problems raised. Poornima was very helpful and dealt with the dirty standard room we were allocated on our first night there to our satisfaction. Always pleasant and smiling- Nothing was too much for her

Review 33：Reception staff and management were very unhelpful, unfriendly and often rude. They were probably the worst I have ever come across. I think a smile and welcome on arrival is a basic expectation at a hotel. Being beside the railway track and beside the beach (where there can be loud beach parties all night) means you get very little peace and quiet and it can actually become unbearably loud at times. We were very pleased to be leaving this hotel.

Review 34：Didn't like the fact that we were charged for a gala dinner for NYE at the hotel without our knowledge ! Considering we had already booked elsewhere. Next time the hotel or booking.com needs to make sure they mention it in their fares.

Review 35：Loved the food

Review 36：Ac not cooling enough and i stayed 4nights with fan because they said all the rooms have Ac problems and breakfast was so poor, balcony very dirty and so much of ants

Review 37：very friendly staff and quick service

Review 38：Loud noise from wedding reception lasted beyond 1am. Buffet breakfast held in a meeting hall. Shower mixer tap did not work. Hotel driver missed a pick up. Hotel driver kept asking for more money.

Review 39：The mainline railway ran through the grounds next to hotel. Very noisy trains at 5 minute intervals throughout the day and most of the night, causing complete lack of sleep. We were miss led with the price shown by Booking. Com and paid more than double expected.

Review 40：Very little

Review 41：Everything not true about hotel,, very bad, dont trust the pictures , the hotel not even one star, very bad hotel

Review 42：They stole my money from my wallet around 500 dollar, when i ask them to check the camera, they told me that the camera is not working... I just went to the beach to swim, and when i came back i found my wallet is empty

Review 43：the trains that go past every 5-10 minutes honking their horn! Ants in the room. Poor service had to wait for ages to get served drinks by the pool. taxi driver taking the 300 rupees for the journey that should have included the toll road but he decided he would pocket the money and just use the normal conjested roads, so instead of an 1-1.5 hr journey, ended up well over 2 hours!!

Review 44：the pool facilities were quite good and rooms ok apart from the ants!! The chipmunks around the pool that would drink your drink were very cute!

Review 45：A quite busy railways line between the hotel and the beach, Sometimes a bad smell in the corridor, The hotel needs some revamping

Review 76：Foods resturant staff.

Review 77：Recrption and front staff

Review 78：train passing early morning

Review 79：view

Review 80：No comments!!

Review 81：What is there to like?!!!

Review 82：Even though I have paid 100% upon checking-in, the staff tried to charge me extra when I checked out and threatened to report me to booking.com unless I paid the extra.

Review 83：F n B staffs were not professional. They need to learn smile and give attention when they have customer inhouse but the laday at the restaurant was good and keep smiling always... And housekeeping staffs knocked on my door at 830 in the morning and on the last day before my scheduled checkout time.. Definitely not a good choice to relax and to spend quote time as trains keeps passing all the time throughout the day from very early in the morning..

Review 84：Front office staffs were friendly and professional The pool is big and nice but need to give more attention to remove the bugs out of the pool

Review 85：Transporting is very expensive from hotel.its better to take transport from outside.

Review 86：Staff are very kind and helpful.i had i good time with my family at berjaya hotel.

Review 87：The service at this hotel is so poor. The way the reception manager treat his staff is so critical. The mistakes which are made by the staff is simply due to the management. In the area we found plenty other and cheaper hotels with quite good service. It is us a big question mark, how the hotel has achieved its rating. Please do yourself a favor look for other options in the area of Mount Lavinia.

Review 88：Very good spot and close to the sea.

Review 89：I visit this hotel each year , the staff in every department are excellent , and very happy to help nothing is too much trouble for them . My favorite hotel in srilanka

Review 90：Though our room was clean we often saw leftovers from room service left the in the corridor on the floor for hours. The location is great but take ear plugs due to the railway. Check in was easy but not enough information was volunteered about the hotel facilities, timing of breakfast etc.

Review 91：We had a really comfortable bed and very effective air con in the room, which was kept clean. The breakfast buffet offered a wide variety to choose from. The hotel team had put a lot of effort into the New Year's Eve gala dinner dance. Check in and out were quick. The hotel is only separated from the beach by the railway track and there are lots of places to go for lunch, drinks and dinner along the sand, though the hotel beach café bar offered a good selection at reasonable value.

Review 92：Facilities within the room seemed old and in need of repairs andmaintenance.Staff on standby e.g. in the restaurant did not speak much English so communication was inconvenient. The location (proximity to the nightclub) resulted in loud, pounding noise in the night and rooms were not soundproofed from outside noise and other disturbances.

Review 93：The view and proximity to the beach. On the other hand, the beach wasquite dirty with litter and animal droppings in various places.

Review 94：There is train tracks right next to the hotel which is so loud they start at 5am and come every 20mins and they are so loud i had ear plug in but still heard them. The room shacks and they blow the horn right in front of the hotel. So if you are looking for a relaxing time with a good night sleep this is not the hotel for you.

Review 95：The hotel is nice for a short stay. Right on the beach which has lots of restaurants along it that you can walk to.

Review 96：The hotel is directly on the train tracks. The train runs right next to the hotel walls between the swimming pool and the beach that means that the whole room shakes and the noise is ridiculous. Kept me awake due to the amount of trains that pass through.

Review 97：Comfortable, clean room. Helpful staff and close to the airport.

Review 98：Rooms 231 & 232 are located on the second floor right next to the busy railway line. So if you are bothered by train noise, this hotel is not for you. Trains run between 6am and 10pm every day.

Review 99：We were pleasantly surprised as we normally stay at the Mount Lavinia hotel when we visit the area. Staff are very helpful and friendly. rooms are good sized.

Review 100：- Staff and Service.Horrible is an understatement. Even scope to operations manager Mr. Ayanth but it seems there is not of internal politics. Restaurant manager was not aware how to manage a brealfast. New year eve dinner was horrible. Food was all cold and stale. Nothing was good. Please do not go by any positive feedback given on any website. Trust me and avoid this hotel at any cost.

Review 101：Room was clean

Review 102：Toilets are not in good working orders many leaks and blockages. Breakfast quality very poor with a few choices standard has been lowered since our last visit to this hotel.

Review 103：Swimming pool is clean and good for kids and adults. Staff are very helpful and friendly.

Review 104：Lack of gym. Noisey train right next to the hotel

Review 105：The staff were more than happy to help at all times. Very welcoming. The location right next to the beach was perfect.

Review 106：we only stayed for one night, but had a lovely stay. the buffet style breakfast had a good variety of both local and continental foods. we would definitely return again.

Review 107：accomodation was bad, ac was not working, check in-check out process was tedious as printers were not working, food is always served cold.

Review 108：the location was good. right by the seaside

Review 109：There is a train line in between the beach and hotel. The trains roarthrough every 10 minutes. You wont see that on the website unless youlook very closely. Big, big disappointment. Also, pool was underrenovation for the 2 nights we stayed. Again, this was neither on thehotel's official site when we made the booking, nor onbooking.com/s site. In sum, approach with extreme wariness

Review 110：Staff and system is backward, couldn't even confirm my booking on your web iste untill I forwarded the e-mail recieved from your website. Even then it was quite a scene. Hotel is run down, unmanaged and need LTR, Staff need professional training for any low end hospitatlity institutions.

Review 111：Not much!!!

Review 112：Too less variety in breakfast & room service menu.

Review 113：Pool attendant was very friendly...
