Hilton Colombo Residences
200 Union Pl, Colombo 00200, Sri Lanka
Hilton Colombo Residences is one of the 2 Hilton properties in Sri Lanka (as of now). Located about 30 minutes from Colombo International Airport, this hotel has huge rooms that are more like serviced apartments. I had booked a 2 bedroom suite for 1 night with 40,000 Hilton points.
Check-in was quick and I was upgraded to a huge 3 bedroom – 2 bath suite. The front desk agent also handed me 3 welcome drink vouchers.
We were happy to see some nice pastries and a wine bottle as welcome amenity waiting in our room later in the evening. Not every Hilton property treats their Gold elites this well!!
For dinner, we decided to go to Flow, the in-property restaurant on the ground floor. We ordered some chicken kebabs and paneer masala. All the items were very tasty and price was very reasonable.
Because of my Hilton Gold status, breakfast was complimentary for 2 guests and I purchased buffet breakfast for the third guest for around 12$ USD.
Thumbs up:
- very nice property at a good location in Colombo
- Excellent recognition for Hilton Gold status with nice upgrades and amenities
- Probably the largest room (3 bedroom, 2 bath, 1 huge living room) I have ever stayed at
- Flow restaurant was very good with huge selection of items for breakfast
- Kitchen stocked with huge refrigerator, oven and dishes. Good for families who want to avoid dining out.
Thumbs down:
- Clogged drains in one of the bathroom showers as well as one of the faucets in the bathroom not working
- Weird moldy smell in Bedroom #2
