Great location, lovely staff, wonderful massage, massive bed and breakfast!
Pros:

The staff were very lovely and helpful, giving us some tips on catching the train back up to Colombo. The masseuse was INCREDIBLE, the best massage we've ever had! The location is so convenient. We were also served the biggest breakfast ever and slept in the biggest bed!

Excellent location, friendly staff, felt like going back in time to colonial times
Pros:

Excellent location and lovely little details in the hallways outside the rooms, felt like you were back in colonial times.

Cons:

The rooms could have had more natural light but in a way it added to the historic feel.
