Tropic Inn Reviews

Tropic Inn is a very nice place to stay if you want to enjoy Colombo but don't wanna be in the middle of the mess of the city. The Hostel/Hotel is very close to the city (15min by tuk tuk) and its located in an very nice beach, with some restaurants and bars (not so many tough). If you compare with the south, of course the beach won't be so nice, but if you want to enjoy Colombo for one day or two, I would definitely stay in Mt Lavinia and Tropic Inn.

Right by the beach with easy acces via bus, local train or tuk tuk to the city. Helpful and attentive staff. Clean. A/C. Did the job.

Not a hostel but a hotel, clean, efficient, with a good range for breakfast. Close to the beach but not so close that you are by the train tracks.

Really good place to stay at for a cuople of days, Not really a backpacking scene, but thats the same all over Sri Lanka. really good free breakfast everyday, really nice and helpfull staff! good place to stay for a few days in Colombo!!

Friendly and helpful staff. Super clean, comfortable beds, near the beach and main road. A great place to start your travels in Sri Lanka.

Great and friendly staff.

The staff was incredibly friendly. They even called the first morning to remind about the breakfast so that we wouldn't miss it. The place was clean and really close to the beach. Breakfast was fairly good. Water heater was quite strange; it leaked when it was on and it took a while for us to learn how to use it . AC worked properly.

Good place. you have to know that it's a tuk tuk ride from the center, but other than that it is fine.

would go again value for money ey

The Tropic Inn is a great hotel. We would definitely stay there again and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone. I was worried that it might be a bit far out of Colombo but it wasn't. The local train station was nearby and it only took about 15 minutes to get into the city and cost 15 rupees (about 10 Australian cents). The buffet breakfast was great.
