Ceylon City Hotel Colombo
Pros:

Reservation was cancelled right before arrival. Addressed this issue with staff who failed to not uphold my booking or the price it was purchased at. Claimed to have given me a better deal with breakfast included. However, I was denied breakfast on the first day and did not consume any meals during my stay but was charged. Not a bad hotel choice, just wish the rooms were more spacious. Rooms are very cramped for excess furniture and decor. Staff was pleasant with luggage carry and assisting with tour bookings and finding taxis. Enjoyed my stay despite those small hiccups experienced. For a little more, there are better hotel options right down the street facing the beach.

Thin walls = noisy stay
Pros:

Had 1 night here arriving very early in the morning off a flight. We were allowed to check in in the early hours and they were very helpful allowing us to use their phone to attempt to locate our lost luggage. They were kind and provided us with toothbrushes and toothpaste. The room was average, small but had the necessities. The walls and doors are extremely thin and we had very noisy and rude neighbours meaning we didn’t sleep a wink. Breakfast was a buffet of typical Sri Lankan food plus eggs and pancakes. It’s located in the city a short distance from main sights.

Very good for the price
Pros:

In built travel adapter wall unit was a nice touch, great buffet with vegetarian options.
Honestly better food than higher priced and higher star rated hotels I stayed in during the remainder of my trip.

Decent rooms, nothing too fancy, but definitely worth its price.
Could do with improved exhaust in the bathrooms, but that's only if I really try to nitpick tiny faults.

Good value for money
Pros:

The property is located between Galle Road and Marine Drive. Galle Road goes all the way to Galle and Marine Drive runs along the sea. You can see the sea from the 4th floor restaurant. It on a narrow quiet road. I booked a non smoking king size room and I got a good room on the 3rd floor. There is construction going on opposite the property although I understand that it's a small one. The staff are friendly, knowledgeable and helpful especially Rifaz and Captain. The hotel do not sell alcohol but there are other hotels around that sell it. The property is clean with good and comfortable beds but it's not a 5 star hotel. The food is a mix of continental and local dishes. The chef will serve you customised omelette although it's a buffet breakfast, with you own chosen ingredients.
