I landed at Colombo airport just after midnight. My travel agent put me into Global Towers as it was "only" a 45 minute drive and I would be leaving on tour early in the morning. I had checked the reviews that indicated this was a mediocre property, but figured that I would arrive about 2 a.m. and leave by 8... More

The bathroom was a disgrace and the overall service was poor. I asked to speak to the manager but she declined. Several times I was not allowed to park my car, the carpark was being reserved for people coming on business. More

We arrived booked a night at thishotel. The room is small but very clean and confortable. We were given a room at level 3, turk at a corner so it was quiet. However in the morning, we realised that the train track is right next to us. Can be a little noisy if u r a light sleeper. Great for... More

Located near Wellawatta station, we stayed in a small but clean room with a balcony and views over the ocean. We paid $100 US per night and found it perfectly adequate with a comfortable bed. There is a laundry service for a small charge, and 24 hour room service. The chef also heated up some lampreis we had bought from... More

This hotel faces the ocean, deadly view if you get a ocean facing room, you can walk to the beach across the road. The beach is ok, nothing great. Rooms are clean though quite small, service is avg, food avg. Family stay becomes difficult to accomodate extra bed due to room size. Trains keep crossing in front, i liked that,... More

Good food Good View Good Staff Good in all Room cleanness is very good due to non-carpeted floor. If you happen to stay on the beach side, you will get a fantastic view of the Indian Ocean. More

We arrived at Global towers after a long intercontinental flight and the welcoming of the staff has been very appreciated. A fresh cocktail and the breakfast we reserved in the terrace on the roof has been very well. Rooms are clean, bright and well conditioned; the restaurant is not great but there is an amazing seafood restaurant just across the... More

I have stayed at this hotel many times, and this is the first time I thought of writing a review. Good: Room cleanness is very good due to non-carpeted floor.

Located in one of the residential districts of Colombo called Wellawattem, it is easy access if you come from the south but still about one and half hours far from the airport. The hotel overlooks the Indian Ocean. To reach the shopping or dinning locations you need to take a taxi or tuk tuk. There is a small mall not... More

we had chosen it for two short overnight stays. Cake shop is excellent. Staff is friendly. Food is mediocre. South Indian dishes are not cooked properly. Each apartment has three rooms, good for groups and families. My friend had left laptop in the hotel lobby while leaving. On the way after reaching near kandy we realized the mistake, called them...
