Nur wenns sein muss

Sehr heruntergekommen. Das Zimmer hatte keine Fenster und hat nach abgestandenem Zigarettenrauch gerochen. Für eine Nacht wenn es sein muss, ansonsten nicht zu empfehlen. Es war einigermassen sauber und der Herr an der Reception war freundlich.

Budget rooms convenient to Colombo sites

These rooms suit the budget traveller. We are a family of 5 and it suited us well. Rooms were clean, spacious with air con and 2 fans. We would stay there again. These are the best value rooms in Colombo so dont expect 5 star. Thanks Ashan.

Jätte trevlig och hjälpsam personal. Detta är inget för den kräsne. Stora rymliga rum. Sängarna.. vi sov på träplankor och en tunn skumgummimadrass som låter högt så fort man rör på sig. lyhört! Åka från hotellet med tuktuk till centrum kostade ca 250 rupee (ca 20kr) Vill du äta bra mat "sir lanka style" så finns det en restaurang som heter pilawoos alldeles runt hörnet. 5 stjärnor till maten där! Så billigt boende om man ska stanna en natt eller två så funkar detta utmärkt!

Nothing was there as its shows on the pictures

Aircondition was not working and staff didn't even bother to have a look at it. Room was made out of wood and other guests was singing till late night. No tea or coffe facilities no toiletries as it advertist on the web. Even no where to buy a cup of tea.

Good hotel in centre of Colombo

Required a apartment close to the city centre. The apartment was in Bambalipitiya and close to the centre. The staff working were helpful. There was wifi access. Recommend this hotel if you are looking for an economic stay in Colombo. There were several beds in the room. That is my review of the stay in Colombo.
