Guest Reviews
- Hiroki (10/5): - よかった
- BODHISATTWA (10/5): - A value-for-money accomodation in the heart of Colombo. Excellent continental breakfast. The staff are very friendly, they even changed money at a rate better than most exchange services!
- YUJI (10/5): - 立地が良く綺麗です。
近くに24時間営業のスーパー、ショッピングモール、ローカルレストランがあります。
朝食も美味しい。
コスパ良しです。
- Nina (8/5): - .
- Thomas (6/5): - Helt ok. Våknet opp til en del små biller. Var litt ekkelt.
- Ramsha (6/5): - Convenient location at the heart of Columbo with a lot of dining options nearby. Rooms were reasonably clean and comfortable, but basic.
- kumar (2/5): - Reception area is on the first floor and no lift. Bed frames are old. Room and toilet need renovation
- geg (10/5): - Very good for the price. staff was helpful. Room is pretty good
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Easy check-in and these guys are always willing to help with my many needs.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Great location, wonderful customer care. I've started at this location on a couple of occasions
- Verified traveler (10/5): - It's a repeated stay at this hotel. Not much different.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Quite comfortable with the affordable price.
Recommended by the customer.
- Elyas (10/5): - The hotel was nice and comfortable.
Helpful staff and the included breakfast was ok.
- Sunil (6/5): - TV subscription was not paid. no arrangement of food in near the hotel.
- Charlotte (10/5): Perfect stay! - After arriving at 0430 and finding I’d made a mistake with our booking, the night receptionist was more than accommodating and sorted us out with an early check out.
Breakfast was delicious and 24/7 coffee and tea was the icing on the cake.
The hotel is comfortable, affordable and in a great location to explore all of Colombo.
Would definitely recommend to anyone!
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Value for money, good location. Can increase the breakfast spread. Overall, had a good stay.
- Bhupesh (2/5): Bed Bugs in the bed could not sleep - Had a terrible time as was bitten by bed bugs and even spotted a few and so can say please avoid this property.
Yes the property is dated and serious needs some upgrades in terms of furniture.
Only one towel - no face / hand towels
Breakfast is basic water melon for fruits, Cornflakes, egg omlate bread with butter / Jam and tea coffee just basic ....
Many better and new options in this area available but somehow I saw earlier revies and booked this property and regretted it.
May be a good option for backpackers and dorm users but not for someone looking for some basic comforts
Don't expect anything great here
Since the room was already paid for and it was raining heavily that night else i would have seriously moved out in the middle of the night...
- Jodie (10/5): Nice,basic,galaxy lit,close to beach on main road - My experience was short checking late at night but comfortable and friendly, one night stay.
Basic,clean,neat room with air conditioning and fresh linen.
Simply breakfast and friendly helpful staff.
Located on main road, one street from the ocean,easy to get transport.
Illuminated galaxy painted foyer/staircase which created a funky glow at night:)
- Jing (8/5): - 不错
- Verified traveler (6/5): - 위치.친절.청결.룸 크기 등 별로
단, 게스트하우스 수준
- Verified traveler (6/5): Ok - Chambre avec climatisation
Propreté de la chambre bien, propreté de l'hôtel modéré
Personnel gentil
Déjeuner peu élaboré
- ぐねこ (8/5): ガールロード沿いの便利なホテル - 最近は南アジアの若い旅行者も増え、多国籍な宿です。ドミには泊まったことはありませんがシングルルームよりも少しだけ高くなるけどダブルルームの方が綺麗だったように思いますが、、シングルルームも費用対効果を考えると良いと思います。2度目の宿泊でしたが、スタッフが覚えていてくれました。
- Jennifer (4/5): Resignations - Reception personnel was not friendly and the condition of the reception area was pretty bad. Chairs were broken and everything looks dirty. Room was just ok but breakfast was not good
- トリン子 (8/5): - ベアフットの目の前で、ゴールロード沿いで便利です。スタッフがみんな親切で色々と対応してもらいました。ここの前に止まってるウィールのメーターはちょろまかしてることが多いので、少し歩いてから流しのウィールを捕まえる方が良いです。
- Katharina (6/5): - Mycket bra läge. Det finns trevliga restauranger och caféer i området. Bekväm säng och bra WIFI. Rummet var inte helt rent och mörkt. Smutsiga handdukar. Minimal service. Usel frukost. Hotellpersonalen sov på soffan i lobbyn när vi checkade ut tidigt på morgonen. Sammantaget OK vistelse med tanke på priset.
- MINSUK (10/5): - really nice
- ANAND (8/5): Budget hotel in Colombo 03 area with good service - Neat,clean hotel located on main Gale road adjacent to majestic city mall,KFC, Mac Donald, banana leaf restaurant.
Good service,prompt staff,Continental breakfast.
- Verified traveler (6/5): - Ok to stay over for a night. Bathrooms a bit dirty. Not as shown on pictures
- Verified traveler (8/5): Good budget hotel - Overall a good experience. Clean room. TV didn't work. So bummer. Door was broken from the inside. But it's OK. Room was clean.
- Joe (10/5): Great hotel with brilliant staff - We arrived late at night. The hotel organised a pick up from the airport and the staff were excellent at all times. The rooms were great for the price. Staff helped us with advice and prices for tuk tuks. Breakfast was also great.
- Verified traveler (10/5): The best hotel for budget prize...beautiful room.. - Good location..beautiful room..good friendly stafff
- Verified traveler (2/5): Beware - Due to a mix up with an online booking I was overcharged $214.00. I have tried to get a refund, but neither Clock Inn or Expedia are willing to help me.
This is the last time I will use Expedia and I will never stay at the Clock Inn again.
- Solo traveler (10/5): Great place to stay for the price - Meet fellow travelers who were friendly and helpful. Staff was helpful and nice. Rooms are clean and ac was cold. Great place to stay if you plan on touring Colombo and Sri Lanka. They also let me keep my luggage in storage when I arrived early and when I had to check out but had a later timeline for my train departure.
- Verified traveler (8/5): My stay at clockinn - I liked everything about the hotel except the slow wifi. The room lock can be upgraded to make it sensor based instead of an old style lock. Overall, a very good hotel for a short stay for business
- Verified traveler (8/5): - I will definitely go back there on my next trip to colombo
- Verified traveler (4/5): Okay. - We stayed in Colombo over a national holiday and there was not much to do or see around clock inn. The service was good, breakfast was average and location not great. Overall, you get what you pay for.
- Tim (4/5): Wanted to give a better review, but... - There's a pleasant reception area and a large seating area, all done out in a modern and quirky style, which I liked. The hotel has a good look, but the service doesn't live up to this. Some of the staff were polite and helpful, others over-casual and could not really be bothered. I am saying this on the basis of a stay of 5 nights. The breakfast was minimal for a buffet - only just acceptable. No real coffee - in Sri Lanka, where they grow it. The 'high speed' internet was nowhere near high speed. I could not access the internet in my room because of the poor connection (this is something I always look for and which was promised) and when I complained, the staff member just said "It's slow" and that I should access it in the seating area. There is a big difference between making personal calls or doing work in the privacy of your own room and in a shared space, but the staff couldn't see the problem. They didn't care. I needed to have some clothes washed and there is no laundry service. These issues make me think the hotel is not good for people on business, just holiday makers.
Also, some of the time, several young guys were hanging around, making quite a noise - some were off-duty staff and others seemed to be friends of theirs. It was as though the place belonged to them and not to paying guests, which made me feel slightly uncomfortable.
The room itself was fine - a bit on the small side, but clean with a good mattress.
- Thavaratnam (8/5): good cheap place to stay in colombo - the hotel is above some shops, nice and tidy room but the breakfast choice is very limited with omlet and toasts + cereal
- Chubby (6/5): Just so so - The upper bed was quite hot, and uncomfortable
- kirsty (8/5): Good value - Good value place to stay. Communal areas were quirky. Breakfast was good considering the budget hotel.
- Rohan (10/5): - Good place, good price. It is a basic hotel, clean and comfortable enough. We would stay there again. I was worried that it would be loud, because it is right on Galle Ave, but there is a corridor in between the street and the rooms.
- Alexander (8/5): Recomendable - Compare with the rest or the city the hotel si very nice! They helped us with tours and other recomendations. Is comfortable and warm. You can see the sea from windows.
The breakfast was a little poor, but be cause i dont eat eggs or corn flakes.... And the Deluxe room small for my preferences. The rest very good and we spent really good time there.
- Chun Hing (6/5): Good location - No room make up for my five nights stay.! TV is not working despite my requests to fix it. Breakfast is so so. Location of the hotel is good.
- Verified traveler (6/5): Colombo on the reasonable - Sri Lanka is great and this is a good, modestly priced hotel in a good location
- michael (8/5): clock inn /ivy lane - The clock inn was fully booked when I arrived but they accomodated me at the sister hotel ivy lane only a few blocks away they were all very helpful stalk and both hotels were great
- ANAND (8/5): GOOD BUDGET HOTEL - Good Hotel on main Gale road.LIFT is not available.make sure you have booking for full stay.I could not get second night and had to shift to IVY LANE.
- Liz (10/5): Great value - The staff were super friendly, and overall the hotel was fantastic value. Comfy and clean room and decent breakfast.
- Charles (8/5): Clean, nice, modern and great helpful staff - Recommend this clean neat and nice hotel with great staff strongly but avoid booking more transportation via the hotel more than required, even though airport pickup worked great and was worth paying extra for. Their Car service felt quite overcharged, so if you are doing a day trip, try finding other car service options. Within Colombo, tuk tuks work fine ( cheap) and are always accessible quickly outside the hotel. Always request meter or agree on price upfront to not get ripped off.
Worth paying a visit to the cricket club nearby for dinner/ lunch and beers :) Ask reception for directions (walking distance).
The trains works well but it's worth paying for 1st class for comfort if available to not having to rush onto the train to find 2nd class seating. If you are polite and don't push you'll get on last and won't get a seat often, even though paid for...
- chris (10/5): Great base. - Great location, lovely private room, excellent shower, very helpful staff, and good breakfast in communal facilities. An ideal base for my first few and last hotel stop in Sri Lanka.
- charles (6/5): Good Value Hotel - If you are on a budget then you can't go past this little hotel
If you are looking for a little more space and comfort then it's not for you
Great location, very clean and helpful staff.
- Angela (8/5): nice hostel and breakfast - The hostel is a bit pricey for our budget but very nice atmosphere to meet fellow travellers and nice buffet breakfast.
- Jim (8/5): Cleanest hostel ever - Never in my years of traveling have I seen a hostel this impossibly clean that wasn't brand new. I don't know how they do it even considering that this was cleaner than some guest houses and hotels we stayed in in SL (and we only paid $8US/nt).
