The propert awesome, food to die for, sumptuous clean fresh and it was a culinary delight. Now the service was out of this world. Courteous, professional and respectful and indiscriminate. Met the general manager in the lobby helping out with his staff which defines the caliber of service displayed by his fellow workers. Harts off to the the staff

Shangri-La has a name as the best hotel in Colombo among our friends and even with very high expectations they exceeded them! The rooms, room service, and staff were all excellent. We extended our stay by another week!
Aslam was doing such a great job clearing and bringing us anything we needed. He was really sweet with our kids as well.
Rusiru made my kids their favorite pancakes each morning and he was working really hard and constantly had fresh French toast, pancakes, and waffles out just in time for all the guests. He was very happy and kind!
