The former hospital has been up-dated to provide a very pleasant shopping and dining complex in central Colombo. There is also a spa. We loved the craft shops and also the cafes, visiting twice during our stay. There is no traffic and no tuk-tuk drivers to hassle you ! This is an oasis of calm ! More

Yet another fascinating change to city of Colombo! Superbly maintained. Loads of restaurants and shopping areas as well as a spa to treat and pamper yourself. Lots of high end restaurants are found with the complex at affordable prices. Visited many times during my stay in Colombo, and SriLankan airlines managed "Semondu" fusion restaurant, Ministry of Crabs" for seafood lovers... More

We liked the Dutch Hospital shopping centre, good walk or quick tuk tuk from Galle Face. A few nice little shops, Luv SL has lots of pricey Sri Lanka "artifacts". Clean, tidy, well lit but cosy terrace with some nice looking restaurant options. We ate in WIP, good service with nice cold beer. Food was also good, limited veggie options... More

Four of us went to WIP for dinner in February. The ambiance was very nice. The service was equally nice. But for some reason we had the feeling that the restaurant did not know what the target market was. It was neither pub food nor restaurant quality food. It was something unpleasant in between. To start off with wine: The... More

My first visit yesterday with friends. The ambience and atmosphere is extremely nice. We ate at the Sri Lankan restaurant. Steward Sunil went out of his way to be so helpful. We asked for a green salad (which was not part of the dishes we ordered) and got it at no extra charge. The lunch and dinner menus are different... More

A good and quite place to relax, it's in side the hospital. Great tea, all kind of tea. Try the mango green tea iced, or the traditional dimbula delax. 240 r More

I've already been here three times with friends and family. And we dined at the 'work in progress' restaurant run by the Colombo Hilton on all three occasions, mainly because they serve on the beautiful open air courtyard which is pretty much the heart and soul of the Dutch Hospital. Sitting out here on a clear night is an awesome... More

The hospital established to look after the health of the officers and other staff serving under the Dutch East India Company. The unique feature in this is at present it is... More
