Zuvorkommendes Personal, aber ansonsten naja. Würde nicht noch einmal buchen
Pros:

Der Preis ist sehr gut und das Personal sehr freundlich. Es war immer jemand da und Regenschirme konnten ausgeliehen werden

Cons:

Ich fand es der Entwertung nicht entsprechend. Es waren alte Bohrlöcher in den Wänden, der Putz platze von der Decke in der Dusche und ich empfand das Zimmer als nicht sehr einladenden. In der Toilette an der Rezeption kam mir eine große Kakerlake entgegen

It’s not velue for money.
Pros:

Most of time lift was out of service. All staff are stupid except front desk executive.

Cons:

It’s a really poor experience to have to climb the stairs to the 6th floor at such an expensive hotel.

Pros:

Location is ok, they let us make checkout late.

Cons:

There were no towels at all, the room was dirty, the charger didn’t work and there were no hot water. Don’t advise to go to the roof top for breakfast as it takes for ages to get one.

Na jednu noc je to fajn :)
Pros:

Personál bol super, snažili sa nám vyjsť maximálne v ústrety pri ubytovani aj odubytovaní. Poloha hotela je vynikajúca pre spoznávanie mesta. Strešný bar ma skvelý výhlad a super obsluhu - odporúčame.

Cons:

V hoteli na chodbách aj v izbe bol zvláštny smrad. Po vyvetraní sa to dalo, ale zanecháva to divný dojem.

Good first stop of Sri Lanka trip
Pros:

Great location in heart of city and easy to walk or Tuk Tuk around. Friendly and welcoming staff. We enjoyed breakfast at the rooftop restaurant overlooking the city. Lift makes luggage easy as does convenience store next door. Room was all we needed for our first stop in Sri Lanka

Cons:

Hallway walls were condensed and covered in damp/mould with a few patches in room as well. There was some loud banging overnight unsure if staff or other guests. Noise seems to carry in the space.
