    The treatment i was given was top notch because of VIP treatment i was accorded because i was representing our Minister of Botswana Ministry of Environment and Tourism and the Director of Botswana Meteorological Services. Accorded a police escort from the airport to my hotel was a cherry on the cake even though i was sacred because i was told in advance that i will be accorded such treatment.

    A Stunning Hotel with Great Facilities Ambience, Tranquillity, Excellent Cuisine too

    We stayed at the Cinnamon Lakeside for 8 days during late June 2024 and it was clearly the best part of our holiday programme that you can have. Service is exceptional and the whole experience was as you would expect from a five-star hotel. Hotel is centrally located in Colombo yet quiet & peaceful. We had a room on 5th floor facing pool & lake with spectacular views especially at night as the Lotus Tower is lit. When we checked in, we were met with Warren Hankel, Front Office Manager, who was very helpful and provided all the information we needed to know. Also, all of the front office staff to housekeeping, food and beverage staff to front door staff were excellent in greeting and dealing with every customer on arrival as a VIP. Ranked the Best Five Star City Hotel by Sri Lanka Tourism, Cinnamon Lakeside Hotel, Colombo is the epitome of indulgence and elegance. Overlooking the tranquil Beira Lake, the hotel offers completely refurbished, comfortable rooms. Its inimitable blend of luxury, personal attention, sincerity and warmth gives you the opportunity to enjoy your break at your own space, regardless of whether you are on holidays. This is a stunning hotel with great facilities and a beautiful lakeside pool. The presentation and choice of breakfast was amazing including lunch and dinner services were brilliant, you are spoiled for choices. We noticed that the entire food and beverage operation was continuously supervised by Thushara Bandara who is the Food and Beverage Director, who appears to maintain an excellent team providing first class operation covering all the outlets. All departments deserve a garner acclaim for their excellent customer services produced. Also, credit goes to the general manager to all of his line managers maintaining a high standard of world class customer services. The hotel staff were very pleasant and helpful towards every customer. The staff were very hard working, always ensured customers are looked after, extremely pleasant and always smiled. One always reads about the Sri Lankans are the country of smiling people. That quote certainly proves to be the truth nothing but the truth when compared with the entire brigade at the Cinnamon Lakeside. SPECIAL NOTE We wish to convey our special thanks to the front office cashier/night auditor who went an extra mile to help us on the morning of our departure. The cashier/night auditor’s name is Vidura Weragama. We had a problem with the transfer booked with the Aitkin Spence who are partnered with the Emirate Holidays, the transfer driver was booked to pick us up at 5am on 29th June, unfortunately transfer driver did not turn up in time. We would say that the front office staff in the morning tried relentlessly to make contact with the Aitken Spence driver but no response. We are grateful to Vidura Weragama who was on duty on early morning who went an extra mile to help us with the problem and he managed to provide us with a complementary transfer to the airport with the hotel car. Also, hotel driver was very courteous and took us to the airport in time. We take this opportunity to thank the cashier and the driver who were courteous and delivered us to the airport in time. Faz Razeen, United Kingdom.

    Response from the operator: Dear Faz Razeen, Thank you for your wonderful feedback on your recent tour experience with us. We are thrilled to hear that your stay at Cinnamon Lakeside was the highlight of your holiday program. Your kind words about the exceptional service and beautiful surroundings are truly appreciated. It was our pleasure to ensure you had a memorable and enjoyable time. We look forward to welcoming you on another adventure soon. Safe travels and warm regards from all of us at OTN WORLD PVT LTD

    Dinner at Royal Thai, Cinnamon Lake, Colombo , September 2023

    I had dinner with my friends on 9/16/2023 at Royal Thai Restaurant, Cinnamon Lake Hotel Colombo. From the time we entered right upto our departure it was excellent hospitality, courtesy and extremely helpful tips during dinner. Waiters/ waitresses, specially Isuru who was assigned to our table, treated us like “royalty “. The dishes were delicious to say the least. Both vegetarian/ non-veg dishes were equally delectable to say the least. All in all ROYAL THAI MADE OUR DAY, after a disappointing attempt at another restaurant in a 5-star hotel in Colombo the same day! PLEASE KEEP IT UP, YOUR INNOVATIVE DISHES AS WELL AS THE SERVICE ROYAL THAI. 👍👍👍

    Colombo By Night With Dinner At Cinnamon Lakeside Hotel: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Colombo.

    How much does Colombo By Night With Dinner At Cinnamon Lakeside Hotel cost?

    +

    Prices start at $40 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Colombo usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Colombo By Night With Dinner At Cinnamon Lakeside Hotel take?

    +

    Plan for about 5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Colombo is not rushed.

    Is Colombo By Night With Dinner At Cinnamon Lakeside Hotel worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 60 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 4 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Colombo, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Colombo By Night With Dinner At Cinnamon Lakeside Hotel?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Colombo By Night With Dinner At Cinnamon Lakeside Hotel suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Colombo By Night With Dinner At Cinnamon Lakeside Hotel?

    +

    Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Colombo can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Colombo and add a light layer if any part of the 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Colombo By Night With Dinner At Cinnamon Lakeside Hotel start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Colombo within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Colombo?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Colombo experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Flexi dates on all 5 to 7 days packages for car and English speaking driver, Sri Lanka Personal Tour Driver in private vehicle, 08 Nights in Magical Sri Lanka. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Colombo?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Colombo?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
