Hotel Sapphire

Good work

My recent experience at Saphire Hotel Colombo left much to be desired, and unfortunately, I cannot recommend this establishment based on my stay. First and foremost, the overall cleanliness of the hotel was subpar. The lobby and common areas appeared worn and in need of a thorough renovation. Stains on the carpets, outdated furniture, and a general lack of upkeep created an unappealing first impression. The room I was assigned did not meet even the most basic standards. The furnishings were outdated, and the entire space exuded a stale odor. The bed linens and towels seemed worn and past their prime, lacking the crispness and cleanliness one would expect from a hotel of this caliber. The bathroom, in particular, was a letdown, with signs of mold and mildew in the corners and an overall lack of attention to hygiene. The amenities promised by Saphire Hotel Colombo were far from impressive. The Wi-Fi connection was unreliable at best, making it challenging to carry out any work or leisure activities that require a stable internet connection. The gym facilities were outdated and poorly maintained, with malfunctioning equipment that posed a safety risk. The dining experience at the hotel did little to redeem the overall impression. The breakfast buffet lacked variety, and the quality of the food was mediocre at best. The restaurant staff appeared disinterested and provided lackluster service, further contributing to the disappointing atmosphere. Customer service was another major drawback during my stay. The staff displayed a lack of professionalism, with slow response times to inquiries and seemingly indifferent attitudes. Requests for assistance were met with a lack of urgency, leaving me with a sense of frustration and dissatisfaction. In conclusion, my experience at Saphire Hotel Colombo fell far short of expectations. The lack of attention to cleanliness, outdated facilities, subpar amenities, and indifferent customer service collectively make it an unappealing choice for travelers seeking a comfortable and enjoyable stay. I would strongly advise exploring alternative accommodations in Colombo to ensure a more pleasant and satisfying experience.

Our flight was delayed for almost 10 hours and informed the hotel through email as no one was picking up the phone and the next day I received an answer from the manager and there response " staff are sleeping it's middle of the night". Very rude. When we arrived around 4:00 am the reception was dark and someone was sleeping at the couch and someone woke him up from outside who had seen us and went to wake up the manager who was sleeping as well. After checking in they took us to our 2 rooms. The corridor was so hot and humid. As soon as we opened the room it was so unbearable heat and humid too. One AC was not working and they transferred us to another room. My daughter and her son couldn't take a shower as the bathroom was so disgusting, Sink was crack, mirror have stained but managed to stay for a day. it was so uncomfortable in any ways. No basic facilities. The beds were so noisy every time you moved. The rooms were so dark no night lamp, and the worst part no wall electrical outlets. They have only one outlet behind the TV which is not also universal. Finally we managed to charged our phone outside the hotel and checked out in the evening to stay in another hotel which is way beyond beautiful and very comfortable in every aspect. With all this unforgettable experience and not got any refund there's no way anyone will come around near to this hotel. I doubt even locals will never recommend. This property needs full upgrade

Perfect location. Very friendly and helpful staff especially the young lady at reception. She was outstanding, despite working hard!
