Review of City Beds The Regent

Reviewed June 23, 2019

This was a great find in Colombo in a good central location and close to the train station. the rooms were amazing, comfortable and very clean. They also had a kettle with tea and coffee plus drinking water. Great to be able to walk to the Dutch Hospital with all the restaurants and bars. I would certainly book to stay here again...the check in and check out was also very smooth and efficient.

Very good place, price and offering
In the heart of the city centre of Colombo in the most busy neighborhood and next to the train station, this hotel exists at a good rate. it is something between, a hotel, a hostel and an Airbnb. Using it for a couple of days (you do not need to spend more than 2 days in Colombo) it is at an ideal location, and very clean. The receptionists speak very good English, they give you good information on what to do, where to eat and what places to visit. They also give warnings on possible scams that are taking place outside the hotel and the nearby area.

Highly recommended. The rooms offers hot water, toilet paper, soap, shampoo, clean bed linen, and even though they are next to a train station (made us worry in the beginning) they are pretty quiet to sleep in.

Drinking water can be purchased (a bit expensive) through the shop floor.

The only thing that we would like it to improve, is that the entrance is not very visible and taxis are not always able to stop in front of the main entrance as it is in the main junction of Colombo, meaning it is busy at all times.

In addition, in the morning during our stay, works were conducted in the room next door, and we woke up quite early - something that we did not like at all. The workers were rude when we told them that we are sleeping and should not bang things around.

Superb budget hotel in convenient location
I spent my last night in Sri Lanka at this hotel and am pleased to say it was very comfortable and ideally placed for visiting Dutch Hospital area for bars and restaurants. The staff were very helpful in organising my transport back to the airport.

Nice and comfy room, good location
Room is as exactly as per pictured on booking site. Very nice cement-style renovation.

Good location - walking distance to the train station, bus station. But expect noises from the train and traffic. It’s walking distance to the hosp building where the atas food places are, casino too.

Staff was nice and friendly.

Oh, only thing is that the bottled water in the room’s chargeable.

Good but not value for money
+ nice welcome and tips, room ready before the expected time, excellent cleanliness, complimentary tea & coffee (not the bottle of water though), good free Wi-Fi in the room, excellent location (close to the train station), calm despite the fact the place stands in the middle of a busy crossroad, hot water and air-con available, towel and toiletry
- the super deluxe queen room was NOT great value for money: poor soundproofing, lack of furniture (no chair, no small table...), no fridge, breakfast not included

Quick Stay, Location Good
We stayed here for only 6 hours as it was a quick overnight stop between landing in Colombo & heading onto the Train to Kandy & Ella.
Great location, right next to the Colombo Fort Train Station in the city.
For the price, it's great value, very basic room, good bed & bathroom.
Air con & concrete, so rooms were cooled (which is a must in Sri Lanka!)
Service was good & friendly, they picked us up from the airport which made things easier, but I recommend looking at Uber if you have it (it's a bit cheaper)
Free Wifi which worked, and overall good value for money for location.
