A little bit out of the centre, probably is best described as a 2.5 star hotel, considering that the Galle Face is a 4 star hotel.

Contemporary building, nice looking, but no rooms face the ocean, and to get to the beach, one must walk across the street and then across the railroad, so not really a good "beach" choice. But clean and a good breakfast.

Good Stay
Very good stay. Kind and attentive to my needs. Good breakfast. Convenince store 2 minutes away. Tea shop 1st floor with great cakes. Easy to walk to the center of city. I never used tuktuk taxi. Best to make tours through Sri Lanka tourist office, 20 minute walk but tour pick up at Ocean Front. Everything worked out great. Would definitely stay again.

Outstanding Place to stay in Colombo
This is an outstanding place to stay. Being in Colombo 3 you are not far from any of the sightseeing/shopping adventures to be had. The staff is very courteous and professional who will go the "extra mile" to ensure your needs are being taken care of. Breakfast is great and at a good price. It is more of a bungalow atmosphere than a major hotel but just as nice. Only thing to remember is that since this is not a major hotel it is best to order your food for Dinner/supper at least 1 hour before you want to eat. Everything is delicious and freshly prepared. Outstanding place to stay and I for one will be a returning guest for many more stays. Close to Railroad tracks so you will have little noise between 6 AM till 8PM

The hotel manager didn't know how to interact at all. He was super rude whenever we asked him questions. Also the washrooms stink. Do not stay here at all

Sweet Stay in Colombo
A very lovely small hotel with a wonderful view of the ocean! The staff is very warm and friendly. The room was huge and comfortable. Wifi was fast and steady. The breakfast was very delicious. Easy walk to downtown Colombo and plenty of restaurants around the area. The airport transfer was perfect!

Good hotel, but with trains nearby.
small hotel in convenient location, friendly staff and decent breakfast. The only issue is the train in front, you can hear it and air around is polluted

Tiny Colombo Gem
Really nice little find for Colombo; clean and comfortable and you can't beat the sliver of ocean view you get. You will hear trains constantly, so bring earplugs if it bothers you, but I love it. Staff was over-the-top friendly and nothing was too much bother for them. They didn't even charge me for the laundry I sent out. I'd definitely return.
