Stayed for one night. Hotel is nicely located good staff very clean big rooms. We did not have high expectations for this hotel as we had heard from close friends that it is a basic hotel with clean rooms and toilets. We were pleasantly surprised when we got to our room More

we had a big and very clean room on the 3rd floor, fully equipped, sanitary facilities in very good condition, comfortable matresses, nice furniture. since the hotel is located on a busy street, traffic noise can be heared in the rooms. there was a nasty smell of mould in the lobby. luckily the air in the room was clean.

Stayed for one night only but found the rooms to be very clean, well appointed and the staff very friendly. Dinner in the hotel restaurant was very disappointing though. More

I stayed in the sapphire hotel in September 2010 while attending a conference in Colombo. First of all, reservation by email was easy, they didnot request credit card information to book the room. They also, upon my request, arranged for my pick up from the airport, which although pricy, is a good idea. I wont, however, recommend you depend on... More

The hotel looked pretty nice in general but the rooms were terrible. My room faced the door to the kitchen and my parent's room window faced the swimming pool. Thus there was no option of opening the window curtains. Maybe with a different room the experience would be better. The food was average overall. More

The reception area is quite big and comfortable and the front desk staff is polite and helpful. We were 2 families with kids and had booked 2 king size bedrooms. Strangely enough one of the rooms allotted had the double bed being separated in between by the side table. But the hotel was prompt enough to change this room once... More

Colombo was the last destination on our itinerary during our Srilanka trip. We were very much excited to experience the capital city of Srilanka and it didn't let us down. The hotel didn't live up to the expectation though! Not sure if its considered to be budget hotel from Colombo's standard of hospitality industry. The location of hotel facility was... More
