Always Good. Eat Somewhere Else if you Can”

This is the third stay that we've had at the Cinnamon Red. It is a good place to stop through on your way in or out of Colombo. The staff is really wonderful and the rooms are very comfortable. The rooftop pool has an amazing view of the ocean and perfect for a swim and sunset. The other side of the level has a very nice bar and looks out over the central park. The breakfast is very ho hum, but since there are not many options, you make do with it. For dinner, we went to the nearby tennis club where there is an Italian place called Santore, very good pizzas and Italian. All in all, we keep coming back and will continue to. Colombo is definitely on the up, and there are more hotels and shopping on the way, and close to the Cinnamon Red. I hope that it continues to keep raising its standard because it's a very nice hotel!

Fine business travel option”

Location, clean & new-look, reasonably priced

I visit Colombo for business purpose, and Cinnamon Red is the best value for money hotel I have stayed. Located very close to Duplication/Vajira Road area, and with very comfortable access to transport options, it is a convenient place. Hotel is very new looking and well maintained. I find the food options, however, quite limited, with only a buffet dinner option and non-existing room service. There are two bars, however, if you fancy a quick drink. That said, the food served in the buffet is of quite good quality with good options. Put together, I find Cinnamon Red a great value for money location to stay at.

Pretty Darn Good . . .”

Unique level of 'Lean Luxury' - hits the the right high points while teaming affordable.

The Cinnamon chain of hotels in Colombo have deservedly the best reputation in the hospitality industry. The Cinnamon Red cements that reputation by offering guests a new, modern place to stay that has all the amenities one could want - attractive decor, spacious rooms, comfortable beds, decent electronics (wifi, TV, phones, access to folio, etc), pool, gym, roof-top bar, adequate restaurant and a long list of other four-star must-haves while skipping some of the features that significantly impact the rates, such as room service or fancy bathroom amenities. We felt that our stay there was excellent and set a new standard for other hoteliers to meet.

Good Location”

The Cinnamon Red is a nice hotel in a good location. But, because they call themselves "budget luxury" they have made some strange decisions re. what to provide and what not to provide. One of the biggest issues with this is the absence of room service! They do provide "take away". This was Ok. But their policy refuses to allow you to have this food on proper plates and serves the food in disposable containers and paper bags. This is UNACCEPTABLE in the current environmental situation especially in Colombo after the Meethotamulla garbage dump disaster. Cinnamon Hotels have a responsibility to set a standard of responsible tourism in the country.

complain”

cleanliness,

The stay was awesome, but i paid the hotel from the web site (agoda.com) by my debit card & while i was checking to cinnamon red i showed him the receipt of the transaction i made by my credit card and a copy of the invoice mailed by agoda.com. but the receptionist said that they can't accept transaction made by debit card and he cant allow us to hotel but it was not mention on the website that you only accept credit card. And after that the receptionist guy who was there at the time he took my debit card information (note:My personal information) and he allow us to hotel. and i must say that i paid for (1 room 2 adults) on my 2 nights stay but they provide us only 1 key card so it lead to so many difficulties while the stay at the cinnamon red. I believe that you should provide 2 key cards for us as it provides in all the other hotels of cinnamon group

FIVE STAR FOR ME”

Breakfast buffet, Those red theme room and rest room, friendly and kind staff

They say its 4 star hotel but i feel it more a five star for outstanding staff, services and facilities at our fingertip. So far my best stay and favourite in Colombo. I did stay at some other famous hotels in colombo but non of them came close to what cinnamon Red did serve me. I'll be there again and again. For its worth everyway. Most of all the cleanliness and excellence room service is superb. Thank you to all staff of cinnamon red

Best Business Hotel in Colombo”

I have stayed here many times on my business visits to Colombo and every time it is a pleasure to stay here. The staff are extremely friendly, and even remembered me! The rooms are well appointed, very clean and have awesome views of Colombo. The roof top bar views are 360 degree. But, there is no room service. During late hours, the food has to be ordered and collected from the reception bar, in little paper bags. Unique but not very useful if you do not want to leave the room. Also the order menu is very limited. The roof top pool is a plunge pool for not more than 5-6 people. Not very family friendly either and would not recommend if you have small children. But if you are a single traveller on holiday or business, the best location in Colombo for sure. Absolute value for money. As a Business traveller, I prefer it to the other Cinnamon group hotels in Colombo (including the higher rated Grand and Lakeside). Will stay there again on my next business visit to Colombo. Two thumbs up!

Fresh and Modern”

Smiles all the way from the Doorman to every staff we dealt with. The hotel was tastefully designed and extremely clean. Staff response was super fast.

We were quite frankly surprised to see such a tastefully modern hotel right in the heart of Colombo. The sea view room we stayed was extremely relaxing and had everything you could possibly need during a short stay. I have stayed in many of Colombos established 5 Star rated hotels but apart from limited restaurant facilities(which in my opinion is not a necessity) Cinnamon Red sets an example which needs to be followed by others.

Cozy stay for Couples in the busy neighbourhood”

The hotel ambience is amazing, the poolside view and the of course the clean and comfortable room.

Staying at the Cinnamon Red was one of the highlights of our trip to Srilanka. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The room was very neat and comfortable + the view from the room and the hotel ambience was amazing. Our short stay at the hotel was pleasant and enjoyable. Couple of things I had disliked were: Food and unwanted disturbance from the room service staff. Being a vegetarian, I am aware of the limited options available but at Cinnamon Red restaurant there were only a couple of vegetarian options available, which I think should be improved. Also, after an hour of check-in, the room service\housekeeping person was on the door and insisted in cleaning the room. I am not sure why would someone want room service after an hour of check-in. Regardless of these 2 things, the hotel is a great place for staying in Colombo and would definitely visit again if I'm in Colombo.
