Excellent option to stay. We were here for 2 nights on work. Dining was a bit hit-and-miss. But not too bad. Would recommend.

The staff are lovely at this hotel. We were greeted with a welcome drink and our room was upgraded. Unfortunately there is construction going on right now and our ocean view was spoiled by it. The hotel is modern and fresh. Bed is comfy. The Rooftop has a restaurant, small gym and pool. The location seems to be at the opposite end to everything we want to see in Colombo which means extra tuk tuk travel to get where we want to be.

The hotel staff went above and beyond for us especially Ananda who works in the gym and pool area! He was so efficient, and so kind to our children. He was wonderful and so friendly and helpful! Please do pass on this message to him. From Audrey, Jack, Bryan and Henrietta Quarterman.

Our first room smelt strongly of smoke so we were moved immediately, which was great. We accepted the second room but it still smelled damp. The hotel rooms are old and tired. Ours had a stained carpet. The hotel lobby and pool etc are all nice and modern and the breakfast was good. Location is okay - near the beach but the area is a bit questionable. As soon as we left the hotel someone had cornered us to tell us about mafia-run tuktuks. The mall opposite is not fantastic but can get a ride the Galle Face mall which is better.

The property is a bit run down, dirty walls, a leaky air conditioner, fridge barely worked, power went out on us twice, and the TV had few channels in English and didn’t always work.

Convenient location. Clean with friendly staff. Although the buffet dinner was spoiled with a tough-as-leather cuttlefish dish!
