It is so unfortunate that the staff discriminate against their own people. If your skin color is brown, dont stay here. Even though your are paying same amount of money for the rooms and services, the staff at kingsbury treat you like untouchables. We will never stay here again

Liked: Cleanliness
Rooms are well furnished but slightly tired as are the corridors. Hotel seems to focus on hosting large events which can mean the common areas are very busy and it is difficult to get attention from staff. Similarly, the pool area was not for relaxing and was being used to host an evening party. The hotel allowed me to move rooms away from one overlooking the pool to avoid the noise of the party.

We stayed here for a night prior to leaving Sri Lanka from a 10-day trip. The hotel was very fancy, clean and modern and nicely decorated for Christmas. Across the Street from Dutch Hospital shopping and entertainment district. Service was great, and breakfast buffet was plentiful.

Absolutely amazing stay. Fantastic staff throughou
An absolutely amazing stay from start to finish. Room was large, well set out and very clean. Bathroom was also spacious and well set out with plenty of light, and immaculately clean. Nice comfortable large king size bed with extraordinarily comfortable pillows. Nice and quiet - all helped for great sleeps. Good lighting throughout with conveniently located switches. Room has tea, coffee, room safe, shampoo, conditioner, slippers, shaving kit and dental kit. Good hot water and water pressure in spacious shower. Room service, which I only used once, was excellent. Good wifi. Great selection of restaurants and bars. Stunning views from the rooftop Sky-lounge, which also has live music at night. Good view from Room. Staff throughout the entire hotel were amazing. Great location. Highly recommend!

Great location for being in the capital but the rooms were small and the suite was not in a 5 star condition. Views are of rooftops or buildings. Very noisy with music playing till 10.30pm at the honey club. Great selection for breakfast. They didn’t provide hand wash/soap in the room despite asking several times. Basic lack of understanding made it difficult.

It is a plush hotel but the rooms are small. High level of service. Breakfast is great. They had fresh tropical fruits like mangosteen, guava, papaya, etc. There are 2 malls within walking distance. Short tuktuk ride to the National Museum (must visit) and other significant sights.
