Reviews and Ratings
I was extremely disappointed with my stay at this hotel. The rooms smelled strongly of chemicals and cigarette smoke, which was completely unacceptable, especially since I was on my honeymoon. The staff and management were uninterested in resolving the issue, making the experience even worse. I would caution other guests to beware of this scam and the substandard service provided by the hotel.
The hotel offers good value for money with nice rooms and helpful service. The location is convenient, but improvements could include better dining options. Overall, a comfortable stay with a few minor drawbacks.
The hotel is ideally located on the main road, providing easy access to transportation and surrounding business places like banks, malls, and cinemas. It offers average facilities after a day out and is also close to the seashore. However, it might be a little far away from some attractions.
I had a pleasant stay at the hotel. The rooms were spacious, clean, and very comfortable, with a very good bed and plenty of storage space. The service was exceptionally helpful, and the location, although not central enough for my liking, was strategically located. The dining experience was subpar, with limited options, but overall, it was a good value for money.
The hotel offers spacious and clean rooms, perfect for a comfortable stay, although some noise from traffic could be bothersome. The breakfast room service is excellent for travelers moving on to their next destination.
The hotel had clean and comfortable rooms, friendly staff, and was in a pretty central location for exploring Colombo. However, the rooms were not soundproof and there was a hint of damp throughout the hotel. Good value for money overall.
The hotel's location is convenient, near shopping centers and the train station, but the room views and noise levels were a downside. The service was a mix of helpful and argumentative, with some exceptional assistance. The dining options were somewhat limited, and the facilities were adequate.
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms are modern and nice, perfect for a relaxing time, but make sure to choose a room away from the main road if you're sensitive to noise. The staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating, always there to help with a smile. The location is excellent, close to the Galle Face precinct and with an amazing pool to enjoy. However, the dining options were a bit limited compared to the price charged. Overall, a great stay with a few minor drawbacks.
The hotel is located in an adjacent building, offering spacious rooms with all the expected amenities. Although the price was slightly higher than budgeted, the value for money was good overall with a convenient location close to key attractions in Colombo.
