The Steuart Hotel - Colombo Fort area. Having not visited Scotland since 2017 I decided to have a wee taste of home by staying in a Scottish hotel in Colombo, Sri Lanka.
How authentic is a Scottish hotel in Sri Lanka? Are there any deep-fried Mars Bars on the room service menu? Can I get a glass of Irn Bru from their Scottish pub? Follow me as I take a wee look.
The Steuart Hotel is located in the Colombo Fort area and is a great location if you're travelling in and out by train as it's near the city's main railway station.

I'm sure your accent got more Scottish as you entered that Hotel 😂 could hear the pride in your voice. Scotland ya bass 😂 Any Irn Bru? 😁😂 Brilliant. If the Australian people don't understand me after living here 18 years, you've no chance in Sri Lanka 😁 Keep the videos coming. Loving them 🙏

Imagine calling yourself a Scottish hotel and not having Irn Bru hahaha. If I was in charge there would be Irn Bru, deep-fried haggis and deep-fried Mars Bars in the pub and bars of Tablet and Macaroon in the room's minibars. Some bagpipe music playing in the lift. And I'd market the hell out of it.

When I went to Colombo just prior to the civil war ending it wasn't pristine and clean. All these travel blogs seem to concentrate on the affluent central part of the city which IMO isn't representative of the whole of Colombo. I stayed a few Ks down in the beach area and it was more noisy and polluted. Hopefully things have improved since then.

It's a chain of only 3 hotels but the staff are trained to international hotel chain standards, it's obvious to see. Very impressed.

Yeah professionalism is bit overlooked. Isn't it rude to say we can't offer you the dish when it is in their menu. Secondly he himself has placed the order at the kitchen.Who knows if the guest had changed his mind in the interim. Anyway this is so Sri Lankan.

Deep fried mars bars lol , tried that thing once in Glasgow but not again. Steak pie with a side of chips and green peas is the best. I don’t even think Scottish hotels use tartan carpets. Please slow down with your IRN BRU then they’ll hopefully understand you. Have a good belter

A Australian born with a Sri Lankan background, warning you of ride scams, try using apps to book cabs or tuk tuks because of you get a unregistered cab driver they charge high rates and it can be dangerous, but if you are hoping to go to Sri Lanka I hope you enjoy your time there. :)

Great Video ! To find a Scottish Hotel in Colombo is pretty cool! 😎 I hope you tried the Lamprai! Our Sunday curry lunch special wrapped in a Banana leaf and and baked to give a yummy flavor ! Portuguese influence ! If you saw Anthony Bourdaine in Sri Lanka he so devoured the Lamprai, giving the details of it ! As Sri Lankan American I still do crave for this, & the Biriyani!!! Looking forward to your other videos! Travel promotes expanding one’s horizons, broadening the narrow minds and the best is fun and memories for life ! Cheers🍷🍷 Sri Lanka is definitely a must visit paradise !

Think it was $82 but I looked more recent and there were deals for $55. Guess it depends how busy are. To be honest you're mostly paying for location. You can get better hotels for that price of you want to stay further out.
