    convenient location
    unclean room
    ineffective air conditioning

    The hotel is conveniently located near shopping and dining.

    The cleanliness of the room was unacceptable. I found hair on the sheets, and it was like they hadn't changed them before my arrival. The air conditioning was ineffective.

    ants
    poor service

    I was shocked at the level of neglect here. I found ants crawling on my bed, which really set the mood for my stay, or should i say, ruined it. And don't even get me started on the service, expected a complimentary gesture for my troubles but got nothing! I just couldn't give a good review, sadly.

    nice breakfast
    comfy rooms
    friendly staff
    cold reception
    slow housekeeping

    The breakfast was nice, had custom made stuff which was cool. Rooms were small but super comfy, loved the balcony. The bathroom was nice too. Staff were friendly and helped me out a lot. The tea shop is awesome in the hotel.

    Reception could be more friendly, felt kinda cold. Housekeeping took their time sometimes, but they did clean up once i asked.

    enjoyable stay with charming atmosphere

    The hotel's location is excellent an easy stroll to the Colombo City Center and nearby attractions. The architecture of the building is beautiful. I enjoyed the quiet area, complemented by a lovely coffee shop and restaurant right below, made for convenient dining options.

    The breakfast could be improved, as it was just average.

    The breakfast buffet had a decent selection, and the staff was attentive. My kids loved the nearby park, a great surprise for our family. It was nice to have a clean balcony for enjoying the evening breeze.

    My kids wished for a better variety in the dining options.

    Really good Stay with Amazing Service

    The warm welcome set a positive tone for our stay. The rooms were clean and cozy, and I particularly appreciated the helpfulness of the housekeeping staff. My only issue was the long wait for food, which could use some improvement. I would highly recommend this place for anyone looking to stay in Colombo.

    big room
    great lighting
    helpful staff
    street noise
    average breakfast

    I stayed for 4 nights in a Standard Double Room. The room had a big space, and the shower was wonderful! The AC worked perfectly, and the lighting was great. I enjoyed having a balcony too. Super nice team and quick to bring anything I needed. But the breakfast was just okay, nothing fancy. There was some noise from the street, so maybe request a quieter room.
