Cinnamon Lakeside impresses with its spacious rooms and a variety of amenities like a gym, pool and salon. Many guests appreciate the delicious and diverse food options, particularly the extensive breakfast buffet with freshly squeezed juices and fruit. The hotel's location is convenient, with Pettah easily accessible and the Port City and train station within walking distance for some, though a few guests have noted the hotel isn't the newest. the outdoor pool and the views of the lake enhance the overall experience.

The gym was small, and some equipment seemed old. the air conditioning in the room wasn't working correctly, it kept switching off. also, the breakfast buffet lacked variety after a couple of days. I noticed they repeated the same items. this made the mornings a bit monotonous, a shame as a good breakfast can really start the day well. the staff seemed understaffed at peak times, leading to delays.
