Great hotel but some of service can be improved
The hotel is very pretty and well located. Staff is nice and attentive. There is a lot of security with gives you a feeling of safety. Room was spacious and very nice. Many amenities are available. However, the food/drink service needs improving. Breakfast is great but do not go after 9am otherwise you'll have to wait 1h for coffee or water! We tried three of their restaurants so the experience was very strange. In the bakery I wasn't served and I needed my husband to get food (who was served with no issue). The pool restaurant took between 45min to 1h to serve us french fries WHILE there were hardly any other guests and when the food came it was COLD. This happened twice to us and after the second time, we complained got finally semi-warm food. The ocean restaurant was very chic but they changed three items of our orders without telling us. Our room was poolside and with the pool club and DJ it was very loud. We asked to switch room with was no issue but sadly some of my clothes got missing during transfer and could not be found anymore.

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

Horrendous
From check in I had problems, inefficient staff, impossible to be served food after first morning at breakfast I had to go outside hotel each morning for breakfast. I had all my means outside this hotel due to staff incompetence. The shower cubicle was very dirty. The room very noisy unable to sleep until 3 in the morning. Service generally for everything was so bad

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.

The staff, room, and breakfast options were great. However, on the first night, our room was below a banquet hall, and the loud music continued until midnight. We requested a room change, which was accommodated on the second night of our stay.

The last time I stayed here was 8 years ago. It is very clear that they have cut down on a lot of things - starting with the big roses pot in the lobby now some cheap flowers. The room amenities used to be Bvulgari but not anymore. It could be country’s economic situation etc; But it was very different this time.

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.
