Disappointed
Pros:

Booked this place since it was close to my work and on the main city area.
Arrived to see it was a small hotel. The bed and pillows had hair on them. The room and walls were dirty. They cleaned the bed after my complaint. There was only a stool to sit and work. No chair. The dustbin and the walls were so dirty. The breakfast was very minimal with some bread and fruits. I just had a coffee and left. I was very disappointed.

Pros:

Personalen var väldigt hjälpsam med direktioner och information. Låg lite mitt i smeten, lite dåligt med restauranger runt om kring men precis dörr i dörr låg en resturang som hade väldigt god, prisvänlig och stora portioner. Bra för ett stop over. Bra frukost.

Oas i storstaden
Pros:

Fint litet hotell med mycket hjälpsam personal. Det ligger på en av Colombos mest trafikerade gator men trots det lugn och mysig miljö. Fräscht rum och toalett. Bra frukost.
Det enda som störde mig var den väldigt starka doften i rummet av någon syntetisk rumsparfym. Gick dock att stänga av...

ロケーションは良いけれど
Pros:

スリランカに1ヵ月間あちこち回ったので、なるべく費用を抑えたいと思い選択。ロケーションは良いので金額的に妥当かと感じましたが、朝食・清潔感・メンテナンスが良くありません。隣に同系列のレストランがあり、カレーが美味しかったです。向かい側にATMがあります。

Good stay
Pros:

The fee is not expensive though, the place is very nice.
In front of the hotel, there is a nice local restaurant which is served very yummy Sri Lankan food! Please see the attached pic.
Why don't you try?

I recommend that you bring toothbrush and toothpaste, shampoo and conditioner and shower gel.

ホテルは街中で海も近く、ギャラリーカフェやベアフットも近所にあります。
安い分アメニティは無いので、必ず持参した方が良いです!
ホテルの向かい辺りにローカルの食堂があるので、ぜひトライしてみてください!
美味しいです!

Pros:

My fiancé and I stayed here for one night before heading to Kandy. The place was a bit hard to find at first as the sign from the outside is hard to read. We are sure glad that we found it though! Staff were very friendly and welcoming. Rooms super clean! Located on a Main Street with tons of different shopping outlets and restaurants. We had breakfast on the rooftop which was also very good!

Nice hotel in the city. Clean rooms and very helpful staff within the resources available to them. You will love it if you don’t expect 5 star standards for the money you pay!
