I had an enjoyable stay at Pearl Grand Hotel, with friendly staff and clean rooms, though the breakfast left something to be desired. The location was perfect for shopping and accessing the nearby beach, making it easy to relax. Overall, it felt welcoming and like a home away from home. 😊🏖️

My stay at Pearl Grand Hotel was quite enjoyable overall. The location is a bit tricky to find initially, hidden away on a small lane, but the hotel itself was comfortable and maintained well. The staff were welcoming and attentive, though I did face some minor inconveniences with room cleaning during my stay.

The hotel's location is good, being close to shops and eateries, though the entrance can be disconcerting due to construction and clutter on the street. Once inside, the atmosphere is quite pleasant.

The rooftop swimming pool was a nice feature, complete with comfortable loungers. However, I did notice some noise from the construction next door during my stay, which could be bothersome during the day.

The staff was extremely friendly and helpful, making my experience enjoyable despite the dining shortcomings.

6.8/10

I had a pretty good stay overall. The location was convenient, and the staff were polite and accommodating. However, the rooms were on the smaller side for a 3.5-star hotel, and the food options were largely skewed toward non-vegetarian dishes. On the bright side, the rooftop bar and swimming pool were fantastic highlights of my trip.

Rooms

7.0

My room had good lighting and was clean and comfortable, although it was smaller than I expected. It came with basic amenities, which I appreciated. But it could have used a bit more space.

Service

The service was generally friendly, and the staff were very courteous and helpful. However, the room service left something to be desired, particularly when it took too long and the food arrived cold.

Location

The hotel is situated in a great location, close to shopping malls and cultural spots like Barefoot. I found it easy to access major roads, which made getting around the city hassle-free.

Dining

5.0

Dining here was just okay. I had dinner at Kohinoor, which was passable, but the restaurant could really improve the food quality and variety, especially for vegetarian options.

Facilities

7.0

The hotel had good facilities, including a gym with sauna and steam options, and the rooftop bar was a huge plus. However, the parking situation was tricky due to the hotel's placement in a small alley.

5.8/10

Staying at Pearl Grand Hotel was a mixed bag for me. The location was great since it was close to shopping and the beach, but the cleanliness and service left a lot to be desired. I had issues with my room not being properly cleaned and the breakfast was quite disappointing too.

Rooms

6.0

The room I stayed in was medium-sized and had all the basics, but it wasn't very clean. I found a lot of dust and even some cigarette buds on the balcony, which is not what I expected from a non-smoking room.

Service

5.0

While some staff were polite and quick to respond when I had issues, the overall service felt a bit distracted, especially during breakfast. I often noticed staff more interested in chatting rather than attending to guests' needs.

Location

8.0

The hotel is in a prime area for short stays in Colombo, making it easy to get to shops and restaurants quickly. It's also just a short walk to the beach, which was a nice perk.

Dining

5.0

Breakfast was a letdown for me. The menu barely changed during my stay and it felt geared more towards local tastes than international travelers. I ended up opting for meals elsewhere instead.

Facilities

5.0

The hotel offered basic facilities like room service and a laundry service, but I did feel the overall cleanliness could use an upgrade. The standard seemed more like a 3-star hotel.
