Pool

I recently visited the hotel. Everything was very nice. I had a good time and unforgettable experience in the bar. food was delicious, drinks were very authentic and consistent, staff were friendly. Parking found very convenient too. Thank you very much.

Awesome experience.

I booked here to stay for 3 nights after my tour and given its location the price was very reasonable. I didn’t expect the pool and gym to be in the adjacent building (depending on what room type). The gym facilities are the best I’ve seen in Sri Lanka. No bottled water in rooms but they give you filtered water in a flask ( Food City is across the road I went to buy water). You will need to ring reception before you go to the gym/pool then they will send staff there. The room is small and dated it could benefit from some renovations as the light switches and PowerPoints are old. The cupboard looks like it’s from the 80’s. The main issue is the walls are not sound proof I can hear slamming of doors, people in the next room singing and the electrical noise of the fridge running. One housekeeper wasn’t overly friendly when I asked for a second towel I got asked why, I didn’t get a second towel when I returned to me room! Also once after housekeeping I had no toilet paper so I had to call reception again. Pure laziness I think. There’s old cup marks on the coffee table, doesn’t look good. I would say it’s more a 3 star than a 4 star hotel as advertised on booking.com . It’s ok for the price and a clean bed to sleep in. Reception and other staff have been friendly and accommodating.

Great gym and pool, room is dated and walls are paper thin

our each and every stay at the hotel was so much exceptional. The rooms of the hotel are clean and cozy. Housekeeping staff is very helpful.The friendly hotel staff is giving a superb service to the guests always with nice smile
The hotel is a relaxing and calm hotel which is convienient. . I would highly recommend anyone considering  Hotel renuka Colombo, for their next stay

Comfortable stay at hotel renuka

We stayed here for 5 nights. Received very well. The bell boys unloaded our luggage from the car and took us to our room. They provided an umbrella cover too as it was raining. 
The reception area looked gloomy, dark and unwelcoming. A few more furniture, some plants, and better lighting could improve the first impression. Staff was extremely good and helpful, so was booking in and checking out.
Rooms were reasonably large with A/C and a good shower room. Didn't realize they top up the tiny shampoo and shower gel rather than replacing-"saving the planet?"
Very good breakfast. The Palmyra restaurant was excellent.

Reasonably good hotel

I have been staying at Renuka City Hotel from year 2007.  Most of my stay at Colombo has been at Renuka City Hotel . This is value for money hotel located on Galle Road. Most of the other hotels in Galle Road are luxurious hotels, Renuka City Hotel has two blocks with rooms in the new block being more new and spacious. The  old block houses rooms which are cramped with little space to move around, the bathroom and shower area are bit tiny.  However the beds are comfortable, the bathroom functional. There is small desk to work, Wifi is decent.  There is a swimming pool and small gym too.

Aircon is of the old style and the air flow does not get controlled even if you regulate the temperature in the thermostat. The positioning  of the aircon vents in some rooms  directly hit your bed while in some rooms it is in the corner. So either you are getting  too old air directly on to your bed or the room lacks sufficient airflow depending upon how the aircon vent is positioned. 

Clearly the rooms in old wing is showing signs of wear and tear.  As this hotel is on the main Galle Road, the rooms facing the main road will encounter  good amount of noise coming thru your room from the road specially during the day ( of vehicles passing by ) The room windows are not sound proof. For a light sleeper it's best to choose the rooms not facing the main road. 

The staff at the hotel are helpful and accommodative. The check in desk is small and managed by 1-2 person,  so you might need to wait a  little longer if there are more guest checking in at same time. 

Their in- house restaurant "Palmyrah" is must visit if you want to experience traditional srilankan food.  The restaurant is welcoming with choice of Srilankan Cuisine, Indian and Continental. The food is equally tasty though a little pricey. 

Overall a decent, safe, clean and neat hotel for short stay in Colombo.
