Good, little things could be better. But overall it was pretty good.
Pros:

For a city hotel and that price it was perfect. The room was clean and bedsheet and towels were smelling nice and fresh.
The Staff was very friendly and helpful.
We can recommend the place for a short stay of 2-3 nights to explore Colombo.

Cons:

The Breakfast could be a bit better, more options maybe. But it was still good.

Pros:

Номер хороший за такие деньги. Завтрак в английском стиле тоже хороший.

Cons:

После 22:00 могут возникнуть трудности войти в отель, так как входную дверь закрывают. Но я заранее предупредил, что вернусь до 23:00, поэтому дверь оставили открытой. Слегка шумно с улицы, но не критично.

Okay at best
Pros:

The location is very convenient, and the staff were helpful.

Cons:

The room was cleaned visibly, but the floors were very dirty and sticky; we had to walk around in slippers the whole stay. The room we got was not soundproof at all; we could hear everything from the main road and the reception downstairs, so we had to wear earplugs to sleep.

Strong 3 stars as they are! Good stay
Pros:

Clean, responsive.

Cons:

Hotel is closing main gate on 22 and you should call to get inside. But I guess it's normal for Colombo small hotels.

A decent stay in Colombo town
Pros:

Clean rooms, spacious bathroom and very polite and friendly staffs!
Check in was pleasant and staff there was always willing to assist you with any queries or trouble you have.

Cons:

No lift so you got to walk up the stairs (If you get the third floor and you have heavy bags, eeer! - but the staffs do help you)
A plug point in the room kept tripping the main switch board so I guess that needs to be fixed

I had a great time there & was amazed by their kindness too.
Pros:

Everything. They were extremely nice & kind to me. They upgraded my room & gave a suit room for free. I was very happy with their services.

Cons:

Maybe the unavailability of good in late night but that’s not a big deal though.
