i am writing this one hour after our friends' terrible, alarming experience at the Colombo City hotel, Fort. Be warned, this hotel is in the Rough Guide.

Hotel is ok, but make sure you don't step foot at the lobby wearing shorts! Every night when we return to the hotel after spending the day out we are harassed about our clothes and shoes.I'm sorry If I have to go through the lobby to go to my room!!! More
