The downside was the first hotel in my travel of 15 days to ask to deposit the money. Which is still to be reimbursed. My wife had gone to the sauna the staff was not absent once, the lady came just went off . Since it was RAMADA our expectations were huge but it was below par. More

First we receive an email the day before we are due to travel that they have increased their prices by 100%. Emails then went back and fourth and they wouldn't honour their original quote. They thought they were doing us a favour by not adding any local taxes. We arrrived the reception area smelt like mould, the manager who I'd... More

We stayed in this hotel for two days in April 2012 and felt that this could have been a bit better. Location wise if you are looking for a good sea view, this is not the one to choose. Rooms are pretty Ok but you cannot go over to the balcony to enjoy the sea view. Had a decent stay... More

The rooms were comfortable and similar in style to Western hotels. We had a brilliant view from the room. All the staff were very friendly and helpful. The restaurant served good quality, tasty food. The breakfast buffet was served with good hygiene standards. We got some extra toiletries in our room. The room did smell a little musty but soon... More

I have heard from many people that valuables go missing in Ramada, Especially in the banquet Hall, but I Witness one this weekend when my friend's wallet went missing while we were in the other end of the hall..There were no outsiders except the hotel staff and back drop fixers, so it was evident in the way they reacted to...

We were booked in for 3 nights at the Ramada Columbo at the start of our 3 week Sri Lanka honeymoon and we could have had a better start to our holiday! We arrived about 11am Sri Lankan time having been in transit for the best part of 24 hours. Upon arrival, we were made to sit and wait for... More

We stayed at the Ramada for 8 nights as part of our cricket tour in Sri Lanka. The location of the Ramada was perfect - we really enjoyed being near Galle Face Green and within walking distance of a great choice of hotels and eating places. The rooms are definitely dated and ours also had a musty smell which most... More
