Money was stolen from the hotel !!!
Cons:

Money was stolen from my hotel room. The manager did not believe me. I had a confirmed extension of my stay for some more days.
After my serious complaint, the manager told me that the hotel was fully booked.
Disappointing experience, after staying one week.

Pros:

Struttura semplice ma pulita, in posizione semicentrale, ottima come base d’appoggio per visitare colombo e raggiungere la stazione dei treni

Cons:

Primo impatto della struttura un po’ bizzarro in quanto la reception confina con una laboratorio di protesi dentali

Für eine Nacht war die Unterkunft ok, wir würden aber nicht wiederkommen.
Pros:

Der Check-In und Check-Out war einfach

Cons:

Betten leider nicht sauber, Restaurant auf dem Dach wirkte sehr heruntergekommen und nicht ansprechend.

Pleasant, but too much noise.
Pros:

The check in was excellent, very thorough, very professional, but did not take too long. The room was pleasant, the shower was good.

Cons:

Too much noise. The room above must have had a concrete floor, or at least a bare one. I could hear every scrape of a chair, every dull thud of something being dropped for HOURS. These floors might look good, but if I cannot go to sleep until after the stranger above me, the nice floor is not helping much. Put in a thin rug, or at least something on the feet of the chairs. Nobody lifts chairs. Really, really needed sleep and this ruined it.

Bien ubicado!
Pros:

La ubicación! Puedes ir andando a los sitios turísticos desde el hotel. Probamos algunos platos en el restaurante, buenos y bien de precio.

Cons:

El baño no estaba limpio... Habian pelos en el desagüe... La estructura de la cama hacía mucho ruido, parecía que se iba a romper solo al tumbarte ya...
