We recently visited the ITC buffet and had a very pleasant experience overall. I must say it’s the best buffet in colombo..The food was very good, and the staff were friendly and welcoming. However, there were a few areas that could be improved. We noticed some dirty cutlery on the table, and unfortunately, the service staff overlooked our request for water, which is a basic service expectation. We had to wait for some time before receiving a glass of water, and eventually, a chef stepped in to attend to our needs. We truly appreciated the chef’s attentiveness and willingness to help, which made a positive impression on us.

This is to express our heartfelt appreciation for the exceptional service we experienced at a wedding reception of our friend's daughter, held at your Sangam Ballroom on 10th October 2026. We were seated at Table No. 2, which was served by your stewardess Ms. Wathsala. We were informed that she is a trainee. If that is the case, I must say your trainee delivered service that was truly at the next level – well beyond what one would expect even from a senior staff member. Throughout the evening, her service was flawless: Her grooming was impeccable, her manners were extremely polite and respectful, and she served with a genuine and warm smile. The table was maintained spotlessly, she was incredibly attentive – anticipating our needs without us having to ask. She managed all tables with remarkable speed, grace, and calmness, even during the busiest moments of the reception. What impressed us most was her positive attitude and dedication. Despite being a trainee, she showed the professionalism, discipline, and elegance of a true 5-star hospitality professional. Ms. Wathsala is a great asset to your organization. Please convey our sincere thanks and appreciation to her. Trainees like her are the future of your hotel, and she deserves to be recognized and encouraged. Thank you for making our friend's daughter's wedding a memorable one
Had a wonderful experience at ITC Indian Ocean Pavilion today! The service was honestly spectacular, easily one of the best hotel service experiences I’ve had in Sri Lanka. Every staff member was attentive and helpful, and a special mention to one of the waiters who kindly arranged coffee for me when the coffee machines weren’t working. The buffet was good too, I’d give it an 8/10, although a few dishes like the vada and pani puri could have been fresher. The ambiance is absolutely breathtaking and so relaxing. You could sit in the lounge for hours! Highly recommend this place in a heartbeat.
