Kingsbury Hotel is fit for a king!

The Kingsbury had a great vibe and character too. The thing we loved most of all was, the focaccia bread in the buffet, it really showed the quality of chefs they employ there, probably the best in Colombo. The Kingsbury Hotel definitely has standards.

A very popular hotel with very good facilities. Unfortunately, staff although very friendly are not very competent. It's a noisy environment with music playing til midnight. They host wedding parties which seems to play loud music. Reception staff are very non-responsive. Didn't book our taxi to airport, no reply to requests. Rece
