Room was small but clean and well serviced. Avoid any taxi or tour packages.They take you for a royal ride. Avoid restaurant other than for liquor. Food is lousy, almost all dishes are very salty and have french fries dipped in loads of salt. Military and security checks near and around the hotel makes you uneasy. I wanted to extend... more

I stayed 3 nights in the CCH and found both good and bad. I had to go through a security checkpoint every time I entered or exited Canal Row, but I did not find this a bother. I did my best to try to make the army guards smile, which they did more frequently than I expected. Unfortunately, large parts... more

I stayed there in 2006 and I really enjoyed it! Being in Colombo for business, this hotel is perfect with its modern rooms at very affordable prices. The rooms are very basic; TV, minibar, fan, AC and a clean bathroom. There is nothing wow about the rooms but it was quite good for my needs. The staff is very helpful... more

Great!

The hotel is ok for the value. We can feel a bit oppressed by all those military around here, but colombo is like that those days. However, if you need a tour guide, a driver oranything to go arund colombo or sri lanka: go away from the Camlo tour desk which is inside the hotel! It is a full of... more

We stayed at the Colombo City earlier this year. The rooms are really spacious, the bathroom was clean, there was cable TV, it's really central (opposite the Hilton) - and only US$38 for a twin. The only negative was that we discovered there's quite a big military building right next door. Given the slightly dodgy security situation - and the... more

New and modern hotel in the heart of the business district of Colombo Fort, located opposite the World Trade Centre. The twin room we stayed in was well furnished with all mod cons including ceiling fan, balcony, mini bar, satellite TV, safe, and an excellent bathroom. Staff were eager to please and very helpful, particularly with monetary exchanges, and there... more
