Colombo | Cinnamon Hotel Buffet: Money-Saving Guide 💰

1. Let’s cut to the chase: The buffet at Cinnamon Hotel in Colombo is a steal. Its quality easily outshines most 300–500 CNY buffets back home—fresh, diverse, and packed with surprises. By the end of my trip, I’d grown a little weary of curries, but even then, I stumbled on new flavors—like a creamy fish roe curry that was unexpectedly delightful, rich and briny in all the right ways. 🥘✨🍛 2. The spread isn’t just about Sri Lankan dishes, either. There’s a solid mix of Chinese, Western, and Southeast Asian options—think stir-fried noodles with crispy veggies, tender roasted chicken, and fragrant Thai green curry. Sashimi and sushi stations serve up fresh cuts of tuna and salmon, while the cold seafood bar has plump shrimp and oysters on ice. With over 20 salad varieties (from simple greens to tangy fruit mixes) and 30+ desserts (mousse, tarts, local sweets like *watalappam*), it’s impossible to leave hungry—or bored. 🍣🥗🍰 3. Now, let’s talk prices. On a Tuesday afternoon, the original price is around 6,500 LKR (roughly 250 CNY). The hotel’s website doesn’t list fixed rates—some say it fluctuates slightly— and weekends are pricier, though word is the spread gets even better then (more seafood, special dessert stations). Even at full price, it’s worth every cent—you’d pay double for this quality elsewhere. 📅💸🍤 4. Here’s the first hack: Join the GHA loyalty program. If you’re staying at the hotel, the front desk can scan a code to sign you up. Then, just charge the meal to your room—reportedly, you get an instant 15% discount. I checked out first, but when I paid at the restaurant, I showed my membership card and mentioned “loyalty member discount.” Some staff might not know about it, so don’t hesitate to ask them to confirm with the front desk. Stay firm—you’re entitled to that discount! 🛡️💳📱 5. Curious if non-guests can get the deal? It seems so. Just head to the front desk, ask to sign up for GHA membership (it’s free), and then flash your card at the restaurant. No need to book a room—smart, right? It’s a small step that shaves a nice chunk off the bill. 🚪🤝🎟️ 6. For the truly ambitious: Try these “cost-recovery” tricks. Skip breakfast entirely—save your appetite. Go for a 12km run or swim 1km in the hotel pool to work up a serious hunger. Sip a black coffee to kickstart your metabolism. By the time you hit the buffet, you’ll be ready to tackle both lunch and an early dinner in one go. It’s extreme, but hey—no judgment if you go for it. 🏃‍♂️🏊‍♀️☕ 7. At the end of the day, even paying full price feels like a win. The variety, quality, and sheer abundance make it a standout in Colombo’s dining scene. Whether you’re a hotel guest or just passing through, this buffet is a must-try. Trust me—you won’t regret it. 👍🇱🇰🍴 #ColomboFood #CinnamonHotel #BuffetHacks #SriLankaEats #HotelBuffet #TravelFoodie #ColomboTravel #SriLankaTravel
