Do not recommend this hotel!
Appalling service! I visited with my wife and 2 little ones and I asked them to help me with unloading the luggages (10 suitcases) from the taxi. No one helped us and the staff were useless, not wanting to help. Baggage’s were left on the road whilst my wife was looking after the kids and I had to take one by one.
Good experience good hotel
I lived the atmosphere and the rooms are good with a ocean view . Staffs were very good value is good and toilet and room was clean but molds were there on the wall..but my kids were upset as there were no more good tv channels . Shops and restaurants are near.there was a ac but it was not working properly . Other than that this was a good hotel.
Ocean
Best local. View from the room is excellent
Don't book this hotel
Stinky and dirty hotel with spoiled food. Everything is broken. We changed the room three times and still couldn't find a proper attached washroom or cleaner room. No washroom tissues. No AC at the lobby. Not worth for money.

The Ocean Colombo: A Disappointing Experience from the Very First Evening
The Ocean Colombo: A Disappointing Experience from the Very First Evening
We checked into The Ocean Colombo barely three hours ago, and the experience has already been deeply disappointing.
The bathroom had a foul smell, the dinner buffet was poorly managed, and just one male staff member appeared to be handling the entire dinner service. We finished our meal without even being served water. Meanwhile, the live fritter counter was left unattended until smoke started coming out. This raises serious concerns about basic supervision and safety.
The dining experience was shabby and chaotic. We also noticed guests filling their plates and carrying food back to their rooms, adding to an overall impression of poor organisation.
To top it all off, the Wi-Fi in our room is not working, forcing me to sit in the lobby just to complete my web check-in.
All this within the first few hours of checking in.
The hotel may promise sea views and a comfortable stay, but basic cleanliness, attentive service, food safety and functioning amenities should be the bare minimum, not luxuries.
This has been an extremely frustrating start to our stay. Based on our experience, I would not recommend The Ocean Colombo to fellow Indian travellers or international visitors. The management seriously needs to address these shortcomings if it expects guests to leave with anything resembling a positive impression.
