Love this hotel although a little expensive. Terrific location and I have stayed there on many occasions. The food is excellent and the service also very good. Mostly the service in Sri Lanka goes one step beyond the normal. Having lived in Sri Lanka for over 6 years the one thing that is very apparent is that their customer service... More

Due to the great location the hotel is situated in, it was the right choice to choose this hotel for my weeks stay in Colombo. My room had a view worth a million worlds. I was surrounded by... More

This is a good hotel for business travelers. There're WiFi connections in the rooms which you need to pay for access, major TV channels, clean and spacious rooms with friendly service. Though the hotel is quite old, the rooms and facilities have been well maintained. There's a decent gym for you to work out which opens from 6am till 9pm.... More

I would rate it as a good hotel. The breakfast spread is splendid and sure business and leisure travelers like it. Best thing about this hotel is that it’s located overlooking the sea giving a beautiful view from the room. The only minus point I saw was that the room I stayed looked a bit outdated but most importantly it... More

The rooms are small and... More

I had the pleasure of spending 24 hours in beautiful SriLanka as a transit passenger of SriLankan Airways. The hotel itself is 35 kms from the airport which usually takes 1 hour to travel. The hotel itself looks old but newly renovated, so you wouldn't realize it until you enter the rooms. The check in process was quick but not... More
