Pros:

Although some areas look tired in some places, indoors everything is super clean. There is an iron in the room. For the continental breakfast we received a freshly made omelette, bread, butter, two different jams and a full plate of 5 types of sliced fruits, as well as papaya juice. Swimming pool.

Cons:

Chaise lounge and terrace could use some updating.

Would stay again but not consider using the pool 🏊‍♂️
Pros:

Location to town and fort was good Room was large with a lovely roof terrace, Manager was very friendly and very helpful also very knowledgeable, Realising it was my partner’s birthday he arranged a beautiful decoration on the bed and a stunning birthday cake for her, we were made to feel very welcome with nothing being too much trouble, overall a very good experience

Cons:

Although we didn’t use it the swimming pool and surrounding area did seem as if it would benefit from some tlc

Pros:

It was all very nice, the space, the quick warm shower, location keeping the noise away, room size. Very nice place

Cons:

The only thing that would make it a 10 would be UK sockets, or more 'standard' sockets around the room. They were all 3-pin round sockets, which aren't really used anywhere now.

Pros:

Fab place to stay, our room was huge with a small balcony.
Bathroom had a great shower with lots of hot water.
We arrived early and they had our room ready for us which was great.
Location was superb, Only 15mins walk to all the restaurants and quirky shops in and around the Fort.
Breakfast was a traditional Sri Lankan breakfast which was lovely.
All the staff were super friendly and helpful, we had to leave before breakfast on our departure and they did a small packed lunch for us.

Cons:

Nothing

Hotel non troppo accogliente
Pros:

Staff molto cordiali, colazione nella norma, piscina ottima.

Cons:

Purtroppo, rubinetteria bagno, completamente abbandonata a se stessa, rubinetto lavavo fuori sede, pendolava, supporto sapone girato, cadeva il liquido sopra le cose sottostanti, calcare doccia, pulizia da rivedere.
