I had a wonderful time at The Lion Pub & Hotel. The cleanliness and comfort were outstanding, ensuring a pleasant experience throughout. Plus, having their own pub on-site was a definite highlight. Moreover, there is a food city right across the street, which was very convenient. Additionally, I must commend their excellent room service, which made my stay even more enjoyable. Highly recommend The Lion Pub & Hotel for a comfortable and convenient experience!

My stay was quite comfortable, I felt very much at home. The staff were really friendly and super accommodating, especially James. And the host was great at checking in to see if I was okay and if I needed anything. The home is also located near the beach is amazing and close to various amenities which is great. Even With the shared kitchen and dinning area, the home still offered the needed privacy during my stay. I'd come back if I get the chance to visit Sri Lanka again

I really liked the area, beautiful large beach.
I really liked the area, beautiful large beach. The hotel I stayed at were really professional and great value for money. There are quite a few places to eat around but during this time many places were closed due to the escalation of the Corona Virus. They do offer water sport activities around the area but it was just nice to have some peace.
The people around do love to try and sell you items even when you say no, so be adamant and don't entertain them.

It is a lovely and famous, coastal area in the capital.
It is a lovely and famous, coastal area in the capital. However, beach-front properties are often fully booked and are expensive. The area is quite safe for anyone. The beach is beautiful, but locals don't recommend dipping in the sea here as it is considered too polluted.
This apartment is owned and operated by Mr. Raj I have been a guest there for some years, the hospitality this gentleman offers is second to none, specially those so called full service and star class ones every time I stay there I was beyond satisfied and being treated like a royalty, this is a true with all, I highly recommend and guarantee personally if you need accommodation in Colombo too look for it
Thank you very much sir
it’s the best place to stay in mount lavinia :) every time we are in colombo we come back there. the place is nice, clean, comfortable, has a cool pool and very helpful and friendly staff. the location is perfect because you are close to the beach, all the shops, restaurants and main road but it’s not too noisy and busy around. totally recommend. the building itself is a very nice old house and has its unique atmosphere.
We absolutely loved the stay here. Best place in Mount Lavinia to have a peaceful stay . Spotless clean , spacious and comfortable . Staff is very helpful , specially the manager Mr. Shane is a wonderful person and he always seemed to go out of his way to help his guests. Just 100 meters away is the gorgeous Mt. Lavinia beach. Best value for money . We would highly recommend this place
Nice and helpful staff. They made everything so smooth and easy for us.
There are 4 different routers with wifi covering the 2 floors and even the pool area, which was great for us since we needed internet for some videocall meetings.
The location is also great. Quiet area but super close to the beach and the main road with restaurants and shops.

The staff was very welcoming and accommodating to my wishes (e.g. late arrival and early departure). The room is nice and the staff personally brought the portable WiFi router to ensure optimal internet connection! In addition, the hotel is relatively close by Mountain Lavinia Train station (from where you can depart anywhere) as well as the beautiful bNo each.
Only 100m from Mt Levinia beach. Only 20 minutes by car to Colombo city center (e.g. Fort railway station). Modern, large and comfortable rooms with AC, toilette and shower. There is an area with table, fridge and water heater and a sofa which can be used jointly. Very friendly host, breakfast is amazing, if you like also with local stuff.
the food and location were superb. The hotel is going through a return and parts are tired and in need of repair. The foyer was leaking water from above the whole stay which took some of the charm away and felt a bit unsafe Therefore the price should have been reduced whilst the hotel re-finds its past reputation. I hope it does.
It was one of the best location we stayed at. The staff and owner were absolutely amazing. Definitely would return again. the room are extremely spacious and cozy. Very clean.
Special mention to my Bosco the dog he was such a calm and cute dog loved seeing him every morning 🥰
Very cute and clean 6-room hotel. Modernly decorated. The hotel is located 1 minute away from the beach, full of beach restaurants and bars. Special thank you to the owner who is very helpful with tips, and accommodating with suitcases for instance. Highly recommended!!
Very friendly and helpful staff, Janitha was really nice contacting me in advance and enabling an earlier check-in. Room was large and comfortable and breakfast pleasant. Property is about 50 metres from Mount Lavinia beach.
The location. Also that the hotel has started do undergo a needed renovation. I have visited the hotel since late 1980. And will continue. The staff is excellent and always willing to help.
Excellent staff, very kind and friendly manager, food was top level, and the cleanliness should get an extra reward... overall it was one of the best places in Sri Lanka to Stay.
Everything was perfect from the service and amenities to the food. I highly recommend the property and this will be my go-to place for this budget in Colombo from now onwards!
I stopped for a night on my way down south, so it made sense to stop in Mount Lavinia. The property is close to the beach and there are decent food places nearby.
Lovely hotel close to the airport. The owner and his wife are so friendly and helpful and their food is incredible !!! Ate there every night. Rooms are great
Perfectly located near the Mt.Lavinea beach. You can enjoy the view of sea at the hotel's roof top. Spacious rooms. Comfortable. Host is friendly and kind.
