Staff is responsive. Breakfast and dinner buffets are adequate but limited in choices. Pool is small with not much space to lounge: maybe 8 chairs? Overall probably a budget 3 star hotel.

Honestly a very bad experience so much we left halfway through our reservation to request a refund. First of all hotel felt VERY dirty, beds were uncomfortable and staff were not helpful. We booked double beds, they gave us 1 bed and a roll away bed. We booked breakfast and already paid for it, the staff refused to give us breakfast and sent us away to speak to reception to sort it out. Dont recommend you stay here.

Good hotel well located for Colombo

This is a well located hotel with an enjoyable view on the ocean. Rooms were comfy and we slept well on our rooms on 3rd and 4th floors (ie no big noisy from busy road). Staff were attentive but seemed disorganised: we got one room much later then the 2pm check in time, one bag which was not mine was left in my room and bizarrely we were called to pay a bill from a restaurant were we did not go! maybe it was just a bad day :-)

Stayed here for 8 nights (for work). Rooms are dated, grungy and dirty. Dirty linen - specially the towels looked like they have been used to clean the floors. Staff were friendly and always willing to go the distance to help you out. They should invest money towards getting new linen, giving the rooms a fresh coat of paint.

John

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Disliked: Amenities
The staff are superb and the neighbourhood is very convenient. Apart from that, however, there is little reason to stay here when there are so many other options in Colombo. There was no corridor lighting on our floor, which made it feel more like a low-cost apartment complex than a hotel. The wifi was spotty, though the technician was very helpful and had it up and running as fast as he could. The breakfast is not very inviting (that's putting it generously), and is almost the same price (US$10) as at the nearby Granbell, which is fantastic and has an excellent view. The pool is tiny but serviceable (with a very friendly lifeguard), though the floor it's on is very run-down. (Strangely, one of the posted rules is No Swimming, though it's probably good that another rule is No Peeing and one more is No Acrobatics.)

Terrible Hotel Experience

I will write my experience. 1. When we checked in the staff in the counter was friendly. But several mistakes. We have been offered a double room instead of the premium room with 3 beds, I had to requested and showed my booking. 2. No fridge in the room, only 2 towels and 2 tea cups, which I have requested for 3. 3. Toilet was filling too slow, shower was leaking. Requested maintenance to fix it. 4. We had the offer for room with breakfast for 2. Every day staff told us there was no offer for breakfast in the offer given to them by Expedia. There were poor communication between the hotel and Expedia. Very frustrating. I will never come back here or recommend to anyone. However, staff was friendly and very obedient.
