As we pulled into the garage at the back of the building in our arranged airport pick up ($25) I feared the worst. The back alley is a bit of a slum and our driver had to slowly drive across a plank to get over a ditch.

However we were then shown up to the main building, bags being carried for us. The hotel is very very basic but this is shown in the price. We are then shown the drinks fridge in the lobby which had really good prices! It was around $1 per drink.

We got to our room, we had room 15. It was really nice. It was modern and clean the bed was comfortable as well. My only complaint about the room was the door was a bit hard to close, you really had to slam it to lock it properly.

In the morning we had breakfast for $1 it consisted of a yoghurt, toast, bananas and a boiled egg. I feel for $1 it was totally worth it and filled us up for the day ahead.

I would recommend this hotel for anyone wanting a cheap stay while they explore the city as it’s amazing value for money and a great location. However if you want more luxury I would spend more money!

Really lovely room in a great location for Galle Face Green. The hotel seems a little dodgy when you first go in but our room was modern, stylish, very clean and had a really nice bathroom. It was great value for money. They also offer a cheap ($1) and perfectly adequate breakfast. The staff were friendly. They offer airport pickup for $25, it’s a bit off a pain to organise as you have to ring on arrival but seemed like good value for money. Would definitely recommend for a cheap and cheerful overnight stay.

Great location near the train station. Room (on 2nd floor) was new, super clean and bed was comfortable. The bathroom was very clean and modern. Great AC in the room. Staff was very pleasant and helpful.
When in Colombo DO NOT miss the Buddhist Gangaramaya Temple and Temple of Sri Kailawasanathan Swami Devasthanam Kovil which is Colombo´s oldest Hindu Temple. These two temples were the best we have seen anywhere is Asia. Make sure you spend a decent amount of time at both as there is a lot to see. Also, walk to Old Dutch Hospital to an excellent choice of restaurants.
I would do without their breakfast as it was uninteresting; untoasted bread, hard boiled egg, a yoghurt. There is a nice little shop just outside the hotel for very good food and juices. Just take a taxi from the airport to the hotel. It is VERY easy and cheaper that having the hotel send a taxi to pick you up.
