Pros:

Hôtel de standard international classique, bon emplacement dans le quartier du Fort, possibilité de déjeuner dans le pub de l'hôtel ou dans de restaurants à proximité.

Cons:

Chambres confortables, mais très standardisées et sans charme. Bonne solution pour passer une nuit avant départ de Colombo (pas plus...).

今回は出来なかったけど、遅くまで飲み歩く旅だと最高だったかな。
Pros:

◎ 朝食は西洋料理とスリランカ料理から選べる。スリランカ料理のカレー(チキン＆豆)が美味しい！
◎ 英国料理(フィッシュ＆ポテト他)が充実。
◎ Dutch Hospitalへ徒歩10秒の好立地。海岸やOne Galle Face Mallへも徒歩で行ける！

Cons:

△ もうちょっとビールの種類を増やして欲しい。(LionのDraftとStoutしか無い)
△ Dutch Hospitalの飲み屋さんは週末は深夜まで演奏が続くので小さいお子さんが居る人は厳しいかも。

Not very satisfying
Pros:

All the hotel staff is very helpful and nice. Rooms and bathrooms are big.

Cons:

Hotels lobby is very shabby and stinky. The breakfast was very very poor, it is not a buffet breakfast. There is a fixed menu for breakfast. So you are bound to eat same thing’s/food everyday. The service is very poor in the resturant. I would suggest not to book rooms in this hotelhotel with breakfast.
One side of the hotel is very noisy at night because there are resturants and pubs playing loud music until late night. Infact we changed our room on very first night.

Top Lage - schönes Hotel, aber Vorsicht wenn Musikfest im Nachbarhaus stattfindet. 🥳
Pros:

Ich war das zweite Mal während meiner Reise auf Sri Lanka in diesem Hotel übernachtet.
Die Erfahrung war letztlich die gleiche wie beim ersten Mal, allerdings hatte ich das Pech, dass zum Zeitpunkt meines Aufenthaltes in der in unmittelbarer Nähe gelegenen Ausgehmeile ein Musikfest stattfand. Die Band spielte bis morgens ca. 1:30 Uhr bis 2:00 Uhr. An Schlaf war da nicht zu denken. Dafür kann das Hotel natürlich nichts. Aber sollte ich dort wieder übernachten wollen, würde ich das vorher abklären.

Cons:

Lautes Musikfest direkt unterhalb des Hotels mit lauter Musik bis morgens 2:00 Uhr.

Ok but nothing great
Pros:

Room was clean and spacious. The bed was good.

Cons:

We have stayed in inns and villas mostly. So, the hotel felt a little impersonal. There were no windows in the room and no outside view. And it was very expensive compared to our stays in Kandy, Sigiriya, etc.

Un hôtel à conseiller !
Pros:

L’hôtel est bien placé, nous nous sommes déplacés à pied aux alentours de Colombo. Le personnel de l’hôtel est bienveillant, toujours soucieux de notre confort, notamment les deux hôtesses d’accueil qui avaient, en plus, toujours le sourire ! Nous avons également apprécié les repas de l’hôtel.
Enfin plusieurs restaurants avoisinent l’hôtel.

Cons:

La climatisation au rez de chaussée est un peu fraîche.
