Beschimmelde badkamer met kakkerlakken, maar wel goede centrale locatie.
Pros:

Het bed

Cons:

Schimmel en grote kakkerlak in de badkamer. Lakens waren versleten. Vanwege het gebrek aan oog voor hygiëne hebben we het ontbijt hier overgeslagen omdat we het niet vertrouwde.

Estancia con cucarachas.
Pros:

Nada. El peor alojamiento de todo en Sri Lanka. Malcuidado y lleno de cucarachas. Nos tuvimos que ir de noche a otro hotel y no se indignaron ni a reembolsarnos el dinero de la noche que NO disfrutamos y ademas alejado de todo. Para nada recomendable.

Cons:

Fatal

not the greatest place to stay apart from the location
Pros:

Very good location, close to Pettah market and the red and white mosque in walking distance.

Cons:

I understand Colombo is more expensive, but it still felt overpriced. Single bed in a tiny room, very weird setup of the room (bathroom and room separated, had to pass in front of a translucent door next to the elevator, could close it but didn‘t feel very secure). Balcony is not true: it is a private area that only the room can access, but open towards the staircase and there is a tinted window in front (no airflow), so it‘s not a balcony. Room was noisy from the street, lot of honking. Breakfast is okay. The person at reception was very weird, rushed me a lot at checkin. I was allowed to leave my luggage but also that felt like I was making a huge request, and only allowed until 5pm (why?). Overall I just didn‘t feel very welcome or particularly safe inside the hotel. And the receptionist really pushed me into leaving a review, sorry but if you want me to review I need to be honest.
