Stayed in room 56. First the bad, shower rose looks like it has been dropped causing it to crack on the side and the result is the water does not flow properly. The average, food at the onsite restaurant is very slow to be served up, even with just a couple of people. The coffee was ok and it was being made by a trainee, with what appeared to be no direct supervision and he was very slow. A tiny piece of tin foil was served up on a piece of chicken. Staff preparing food need to wear a hair net. The good, AC worked well, bed comfortable and linen and towels were fine. Small grocery store close by, which was helpful. Points to note, no fridge in the room and no kettle. Note to management. Given that the room is small the selection of furniture leaves a lot to be desired. A chunky chair and a fold up camp style chair, took up a lot of room and personally a bench that could hold an opened out suitcase would be more helpful. The wardrobe is also a wasted space and a wall hanging rack would be better suited.

Super convenient downtown location, close to everything! It's also not far from the beach, where you can watch the mini train. The room was really clean, and for the price in a city center, it's a great deal. I arrived exhausted at 1 AM after my flight, rushed a taxi to the hotel, and the owner was actually waiting for me! Seeing me, a woman with lots of luggage, he immediately helped me and offered me a cold bottle of water. I was so touched! He took me to my room and set up the Wi-Fi for me. It might be a tourist city, so perhaps they encourage bringing your own slippers for environmental reasons. (Definitely take some beautiful photos of this city, and experience the Ghibli movie vibe by riding the mini train!)

The rooftop restaurant was lovely; we really enjoyed sitting there in the evening breeze. The food was also quite good – we ended up eating three meals there!

The room was clean, the air conditioning was new, and I was able to rest well. The breakfast was the best part. I enjoyed a wide variety of fruits, traditional curry, and delicious tea while gazing at the Lotus Tower.

The room was very clean, and I didn't find any bugs. The air conditioning worked well too. Most importantly, the staff were incredibly kind and spoke English slowly and clearly, which was really helpful. This is the perfect place to stay for a trip to Colombo.
