The hotel is situated in the heart of the city and very near to the beach. All important places in Colombo are at reasonable distance and can be covered by walk or on 3-wheelers (tuk-tuk as locally called). The rooms are comfortable, spacious and cosy. Toilets too are quite big, clean and provided with bath tub, hair dryer etc. There... More

If you need a snack during the day use the bakery which is in the hotel or go to a small cafe that is almost next door.. Access to the beach is... More

Big and impersonal and the facilities were all a bit tired and worn. Access on foot was hindered by building materials lying around. Restaurant though was very good with helpful waitres who were pleased to advise on the strength of the various curries.

Reception staff were unhelpful, particularly when we asked about internet access ($8 per hour) we were not made to feel welcome. The room was ok, overly cluttered with furniture and infested with ants even on the 8th floor! The door... More
