Nice place

There were a bit too many guests in the restaurant and the music from the bar was loud. Really good service and lovely location.

Great hospitality and cleainess

We had a wonderful stay at Cinnamon Lakeside in Colombo. The staff were incredibly welcoming, friendly, and attentive, providing excellent service throughout our stay. We highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Colombo.

A special thank you to Ashen and Menuka for their warm hospitality during our meals, and to the lifeguards—Ayesh, Nethmi, and Gamika—for ensuring a safe and enjoyable experience at the swimming pool.

Outstanding service – Pool Bar Restaurant

Outstanding service – Pool Bar Restaurant

I would like to extend my sincere appreciation to the Pool Bar Restaurant team for delivering excellent experience. The team’s dedication, professionalism, and commitment to high service standards are truly commendable.

A special thank you to Ravindu for managing the restaurant so effectively and ensuring smooth and helpful for customers.

Special thanks also to diluk for always looking after us and providing continuous support whenever needed.

A big appreciation goes to Menuka and Ashen for their hard work, positive attitude, and excellent service. Your teamwork and dedication are greatly valued.

Thank you all for your outstanding effort. Keep up the fantastic work!

Avoid Cinnamon Lakeside Banquets for Weddings

Our experience with the Cinnamon Lakeside Banquets team was extremely disappointing. We dealt with Mr. Daham, who was unprofessional and rude throughout our inquiry. Calls often went unanswered, responses were consistently delayed, and communication was poor. Instead of feeling valued as potential customers, we felt ignored and frustrated. When we raised these concerns with his supervisor, Ms. Madhu, we expected the matter to be handled professionally. Instead, she defended his behavior in a way that felt more like a spouse defending a husband than a manager objectively addressing a customer complaint. Rather than acknowledging our concerns, she appeared focused on justifying his conduct. That interaction left us with the strong impression that there was favoritism within the department and that customer feedback was not being taken seriously. Based on our experience, we would not recommend the Cinnamon Lakeside Banquets team for weddings or other events. We cannot comment on the hotel's other services, but our experience with the Banquets department fell far below the standards we expected from a five-star hotel.
