Not very pleasant
Pros:

Nice Japanese restaurant

Cons:

Booked two rooms months in advance with the request to allocate close to each other. However the rooms were allocated in different floors. Laundry service collection was very slow. Have to call the Reception more than once to get any services.

A gem of a hotel at Kollupitiya junction well located and excellent service to customers
Pros:

As most of the time i used to stay in hotels around Galle Face, I thought I should try this one centrally located facing the sea at Kollupitiya junction (Colombo 3). I was able to go to places like Palmyrah restaurant, Sponge, Fab and Tea Board as they were all within walking distance of the hotel
My room had amazing views of the sea / sunset and as it was on the 16th floor, one gets the sort of feeling that one is perhaps in the middle of the sea.
The hotel had amazing automation particularly in the washrooms. The breakfast was brilliant. People were great. Perhaps if I got a balcony room I could have extended this review much further

Cons:

None

Pros:

The pool in the hotel was a lovely experience, we ensured to go early in the morning as later in the day it does get very busy. The room was also very nice, it's great to have the choice between a bath and a shower. We loved the sea and city view.

Cons:

It's a bit less personal than other hotels we have stayed in Sri Lanka. It's a big hotel. We only stayed for one night, so that may have been different if we stayed for longer.
