Guest Reviews
- Sumit (8/5): -
- Naseeba (8/5): - The room was spacious and clean, with good amenities. Location was good and staff was friendly. The lights in the kitchenette need to improve.
More options on breakfast.
- Hiroyuki (6/5): 料金を考えれば贅沢は言えない。 - 経済的である WIFIが不安定。
朝食の変化が乏しい。
写真とは異なりジムが使えない状況だった。居室のロールアップカーテンが壊れており開けられない。施設が老朽化しているが、適切な修繕がされていない。

- Time (1/5): - Staff was not properly trained, poor communication, Rude management to the guests , A property in a good location ruined by bad management
- Nadine Nicole (8/5): Good, little things could be better. But overall it was pretty good. - For a city hotel and that price it was perfect. The room was clean and bedsheet and towels were smelling nice and fresh.
The Staff was very friendly and helpful.
We can recommend the place for a short stay of 2-3 nights to explore Colombo. The Breakfast could be a bit better, more options maybe. But it was still good.
- Pedro (5/5): -
- Samanthini (9/5): Friendly staff. Comfortable stay. Planning to stay here next year again. - I am very satisfied with everything they provided me during my stay
- YU CHIEH (10/5): -
- Anne (7/5): -
- Iqbal (10/5): Comfortable, peaceful environment - Staff is very cooperative
Cleanliness is exceptional WiFi is slow
- Nikolai (9/5): - Номер хороший за такие деньги. Завтрак в английском стиле тоже хороший. После 22:00 могут возникнуть трудности войти в отель, так как входную дверь закрывают. Но я заранее предупредил, что вернусь до 23:00, поэтому дверь оставили открытой. Слегка шумно с улицы, но не критично.
- Sachin (6/5): Okay at best - The location is very convenient, and the staff were helpful. The room was cleaned visibly, but the floors were very dirty and sticky; we had to walk around in slippers the whole stay. The room we got was not soundproof at all; we could hear everything from the main road and the reception downstairs, so we had to wear earplugs to sleep.
- Annie (5/5): - Maur overalt, ikke heis. Innsjekket tid 14, vi kom 15 og måtte vente enda 45 min før vi fikk rommet.
- PRASENJIT (8/5): -
- Ivan (10/5): Strong 3 stars as they are! Good stay - Clean, responsive. Hotel is closing main gate on 22 and you should call to get inside. But I guess it's normal for Colombo small hotels.
- Fatemeh (5/5): War nicht besonders - Personal. Klimaanlage Badezimmer und duschen Keine Kühlschrank, viel Lärm, Abgase von Straßen im Zimmer 4. Stock keine Aufzug
Die Schränke waren sehr staubig und insgesamt schmutzig
- ALESSIA (8/5): -
- Vicknesh (6/5): A decent stay in Colombo town - Clean rooms, spacious bathroom and very polite and friendly staffs!
Check in was pleasant and staff there was always willing to assist you with any queries or trouble you have. No lift so you got to walk up the stairs (If you get the third floor and you have heavy bags, eeer! - but the staffs do help you)
A plug point in the room kept tripping the main switch board so I guess that needs to be fixed
- Amir (9/5): - Friendly receptionist and staffs The hotel gate was closed by 10, so not much off freedom to see the colombo by night.
- Nandini (10/5): I had a great time there & was amazed by their kindness too. - Everything. They were extremely nice & kind to me. They upgraded my room & gave a suit room for free. I was very happy with their services. Maybe the unavailability of good in late night but that’s not a big deal though.
- TAM (10/5): -
- Maria Alexandra (9/5): Boa estadia na capital - Tomei um banho muito reconfortante, água quente, boa pressão, cabine de duche grande. Uma grande bancada de casa de banho, com luz por cima.
A cama é grande e muto confortável. As almofadas bastante boas.
Apesar de já não ser um hotel novo e que apresenta sinais de uso, incluindo uma toalha de banho com buracos, é bastante confortável.
- Symy86 (9/5): -
- Vineet (6/5): It was ok for the stay, - The staff made special arrangements for a vegetarian breakfast for me. This is appreciated. The rooms were clean and generally the staff were polite and helpful. 1. The room I booked faced the road. Being sensitive to sound, I had to voluntarily downgrade the room. Since I had already paid the higher price, there was nothing much to negotiate. The hotel could have at least ensured that amenities in the room are similar to the room level which I had booked.
2. I am not sure if I am asking for too much, but the vegetarian food served was same for the 6 days of stay.
- Grant (10/5): It was my first hotel after long flight . The beds and quality of bedding was amazing . The staff especially Boston and - Everything was fantastic No problems at all
- Angel (7/5): Decent room for the price. Good location. - Good location. Room was very dusty on surfaces and you could see dust in the air when the sun was coming in.
- Madeline (10/5): - Staff, especially the manager was very helpful and kind
- bhimsetty (8/5): -
- Zarina (8/5): - Good location
Comfy bed
Helpful staff
- Shashank (7/5): - Good for a night..
- Adrien (6/5): Bien, jolie chambre, par contre trop bruyant -
- bhimsetty (9/5): -
- EKATERINA (6/5): Не стоит своих денег - Вежливый персонал. Заранее поставили доп кровать ребёнку. Заселились ночью. Приличные завтраки.
Оставляли вещи после выселения на пару часов. Очень сильно уставшие апартаменты. Прям очень. Сырость, плесень. Полотенца прям страшные. В ванной комнате дичайшая плесень, все очень старое
- Jayawickrama (4/5): -
- Lukáš (6/5): -
- Jayapravith (7/5): -
- Gita (4/5): Cleanliness issues - The location was good, within walking distance of the city center. The internet connection was good. There were large windows, with big blinds in front that, unfortunately, could not be opened. The bed linen was dirty, and the towels were also unclean. The blinds and the bathroom window were dirty. The room had tea and coffee, but there was no kettle to boil it. There was a television, but there was no remote to turn it on. The surroundings are not as beautiful in reality as they appear in the photos. The room is worn out, and the pictures are outdated.
- Alessandro (8/5): -
- Lorenzo (5/5): - Accoglienza piuttosto fredda. Cordiali ma non affabili. Camere poco pulite. Mi aspettavo di meglio.
- Iván (5/5): Bien - Nada especial, un hotel normal. Personal muy agradable y atento. El desayuno es algo de fruta, tostadas y huevos fritos, yogurt y café. Se duerme muy bien. No había agua caliente aunque con el calor que hace en la ciudad no fue un problema. Habitación muy ruidosa por el tráfico.
- Akshura (9/5): -
- Zsolt (10/5): -
- argo (8/5): Soovitan igati - Suurepärane söök eriti õhtusöök .Personal väga sõbralik ja abivalmis eriti Sahani ! Randa koristati aga prügi oli hunnikutes lubati ära põletada .
- Satu Päivi (8/5): -
- TARA (7/5): - The staff friendliness, and helpfulness I think the rooms needs to be worked on more and put more effort in the cleaning but overall was ok
- EZLA (8/5): Très bon séjour, brunch et café pas loin de l’hôtel. Très accessible - Le personnel et leur amabilité. Ils nous ont mis en chambre supérieur. Il n’y a pas d’ascenseur
- Sadia (9/5): -
- ashen (8/5): -
- Abhilekh Verma (10/5): - Outstanding! Best hotel in Srilanka!
- sadeesh (8/5): -
- Laura (10/5): Super séjour. Je recommande - La chambre et la salle de bain sont spacieuses et très jolies. Le lit très confortable. Le personnel est au petit soin et super gentil! Le wifi ne marchait pas super bien. Le prix est un peu élevé par rapport aux autres hôtels au Sri Lanka.
- Chamikara (10/5): -
- Udugampola (6/5): Good and peaceful - Clean None
- Franziska (9/5): I can definitely recommend it - Great place to stay, though I had only one night before I went further south. The hotel was clean and comfortable and the staff is just amazing and kind. Especially Chithun was awesome, super helpful and he organised everything I needed. Thanks a lot!!!!
- Nathaniel (4/5): Not as described on Booking.com - The location was good. Staff was friendly. The hotel closes by 10:30 making it inconvenient to order or stay outside as everytime we have to enter or exit we have to call. There is no privacy in the room as the curtains do not completely cover the window, which means people from down can see you. The bathroom window as well does not have a curtain. We did find a lizard as well in the bathroom and the WiFi does not work at all despite complaining twice.
- Aswinth (8/5): -
- AnderGarcia (10/5): - Habitación muy cómoda y espaciosa. Seguridad y cerca del centro.
- Aruthsha (8/5): -
- Yves (9/5): - L'accueil
- Petra Petrca (10/5): - Clean, friendly and a nice breakfast.
- çağatay (1/5): Hayatımın en kötü konaklama deneyimiydi. Tesis kesinlikle fotoğraflarla alakalı değil, tamamen yanıltıcı. Oda ve duvarla - Aşırı pis hijyen sıfır
- Rashdeep (7/5): - Wifi is non existent in the rooms
- Sandra (9/5): -
- Tajna (10/5): - Everything was great. Stayed at the hotel twice and I really enjoyed my time there. The pillows were really nice, it always seems so difficult to find the perfect pillow but they had really good ones.
- Tajna (10/5): - The staff were really nice and helpful. The breakfast was amazing, they had fresh fruit (best papaya I've ever had). I stayed for a night first at the beginning of my trip, then two more nights at the end of my trip. I stayed in two different rooms and they were both amazing and super spacious. I loved the showers, they had very good flow and were quite spacious as well. The balcony was also super cute. The internet is a bit slow, so I wouldn't recommend scheduling meetings or working from there.
- Ahzam (2/5): -
- Giulia (8/5): -
- PERFECT FILAMENTS LTD (7/5): -
- Kate (5/5): Suited to pack backers , no facilities, not suitable for older couples looking for comfort - Can’t comment Waiting for an early check in that was promised and never materialized . At the normal check in time , we received a message that the room was ready but we had already found other accommodation
- Miriam (8/5): - -Chutné anglické raňajky, pekne servírované, obmieňané.
-Priestranná kúpeľňa
-Zaujímavý koncept 'číslovania' izieb, jednotlivé izby sú pomenované po mestách - Zvláštny zápach na chodbe z kuchyne.
- Extrémne slabé osvetlenie v izbe aj v kúpeľni.
- Zarazila nás presklenná kúpeľňa zatiahnutá roletami, cez medzery sa dalo do nej dovidieť.
- Izba má síce kuchynský kút, ale jediným vybavením je kanvica a mikrovlnka bez príborov, tanierov, alebo čohokoľvek iného.
- Naša izba nemala balkón, do ulice oddelená sklenenou stenou
- Hluk z ulice
- Chamara (9/5): -
- Tilak (10/5): Clean, comfortable room and bathroom; healthy breakfast; good value. - The hotel accommodated my late arrival. Clean room and bathroom; comfortable room and bed; good A/C; balcony area. The staff was very help, courteous, and attentive. Good, healthy breakfast. Very kind host; provided food outside regular hours when they found I was unwell. Central location - close to shops, launderette, dining locations.
- Laure (10/5): -
- Mufaddal (4/5): Disappointing - The price and facilities were reasonable upon initially booking I don't believe this can be considered a 4 star hotel for the services provided and also there was noise from other rooms which did not make the stay pleasant. Expected total privacy for the price and facilities but this does not live up to the expectations unfortunately. At the end of the day as a customer you pay for a service and if this is not given or not to the basic standard of what a hotel should entail it is not good enough...
- Thomasstephen (4/5): Nothing to tell - The hotel is Fair only. The Room floor is in two different heights and similarly bath room floor is almost 1 feet above from Room Floor level. So unfit for old , Children and eye sight issue people.
Everyday is same breakfast . Papaya, Pineapple, Bread with Jam and Butter, Coffee, Orange Juice .
The Manager who handle the Property in the morning with the Break fast is not customer friendly.
It is just like a Guest House and Not like an Hotel. No parking facility. The hotel Entrance door will be closed after 11 am to 6 pm.
- Dilhan (10/5): -
- Nitesh (9/5): - Friendly staff, great location and spacious room Quite some stairs to the Grand Suite and no elevator
- Déborah (9/5): Super! - Le personnel est adorable!
La chambre est grande, super salle de bain! rien
- Marcus (9/5): -
- Diana (10/5): - Stay was good; we had stayed only for 2 days since we were to visit other parts of Sri Lanka.
Our special thanks to Chithru, who was very very helpful with all information even before we came to Sri Lanka. Very kind and polite person and was always ready to help in addition to suggesting what will work out best for our trip. We planed to visit Kandy as our next stop but he suggested we cancel since it’s super crowded at that time and it turned out that he saved us from trouble cause when we reached Ella, we had a guest telling another guest about the hassle and chaos they had to go through in Kandy and even had to overstay a night since they couldn’t get train tickets.
Besides this, even after we checked out, I was still in touch with him to advise us what is a better option and he was ever ready to help with anything so we are really grateful to him for suggesting us and helping us in the best way he could Nothing
- Dzianis (7/5): Завышенная цена, выглядит не как на фото - Если бы не цена, то обычный отель, на пару дней сойдет Отель выглядит не как на фото. На самом деле комната была уставшей, с грязью, с видом на дорогу и шумом как следствие (в отличие от природы на фото). Мы приехали ночью и минут 15-20 ждали и стучали, пока персонал впустит нас. Завтраки простые и одинаковые, хотя и сам отель очень маленький. Есть жилье и похуже, но тут цена неоправданно завышенная за такое, можно найти варианты намного лучше за такую цену и в Коломбо, и в принципе по всей Шри-Ланке.
- Dr. M.D.Milan (10/5): -
- MARTINA (9/5): - Colazione ottima e abbondante, camera grande con letto comodo e doccia enorme. Personale molto gentile!
- Thashika (9/5): Value for money - Affordable, facilities are good and clean Nothing
- Megan (6/5): - My friend and I stayed here for one night. The staff was nice and they held our bags after checkout so that we didn’t have to carry them around. The room had a musty smell to it and the hotel is a bit run-down. If you’re looking for fancy, this isn’t it. If you’re just looking for a place to sleep and shower for a night, this is acceptable. Also, there is no elevator, so do not book if you have mobility issues.
- Henriette (10/5): - God beliggenhed, stort og rummeligt værelse, de hjalp med at bære kuffert op og ned af trapperne. God og stor morgenmad. Sød receptionist, som var behjælpelig med alt ligefra vejvisning til visum forlængelse osv. skønt værelse med stor balkon
- Helaina (10/5): -
- Sehr (7/5): -
- Neyadi (10/5): -
- Andy (8/5): -
- Fouzia (7/5): Good location nice staff , bad policy and amenities not up to mark - Staff very friendly, they go extra length to help After staying for 11 days they don’t allow an extra couple of hours to remain I. Your room as my flight was late in the evening I had to sit in their lobby for 3 hrs.
They done have elevator so people with stairs problem had to suffer a lot .
You have to eat same breakfast everyday.
There is no restaurant so you have to order from outside each time you want to eat .
- Maciej (4/5): - Nothing Was dirty / no clean … no lift
- Manohari (8/5): It was comfortable. Available only English breakfast. - Room facilities good Closer to our venue
- Aloïs (7/5): - L’hôtel s’est occupé d’organiser le taxi depuis l’aéroport ce qui m’a beaucoup aidé ! Les rideaux sont peut être esthétiques mais pas très utiles car ils ne couvrent pas tellement la taille des fenêtres
- Rajan (10/5): -
- Tigran (10/5): -
- Ekaterina (10/5): - Отель хорошо расположен. Большой номер. Большой телевизор. Удобная кровать. Хороший персонал. Подсказали, что где находится. Отель на дороге. Шумно и пыльно. Нам не мешало! Балкон вроде есть. Но он как терасса. Очень душный.
- Jason (10/5): - We had a beautiful stay. Very friendly and comfortable atmosphere. We highly recommend it.
