Pros:

Location is close to the marine drive but about 1 km from Galle face road where most of the evening activities happen. Room was comfortable, compact compared to other properties we stayed across Sri Lanka. They have a nice rooftop restaurant & pool, views from pool area are stunning! Dinithi, Minerva, Dewmini & Dilshan were very helpful. Overall experience was satisfying for the one night we stayed.

Cons:

Corridor smelles damp due to rains & poor ventilation vents

Clean value for money
Pros:

Bulletproof soundproofing on the rooms. Clean and very high standard compared to most other hotels I’ve been to in Sri Lanka. Feeling compares to Europe but at a much cheaper price. I needed to feel as in my own place and i didn’t hear any neighbours or noise from people other than the completely understandable few hallway sounds

Cons:

Very costly laundry and they claim to care so much about the environment but give your laundry back in a huge unecessecary plastic wrap. But these are minor things compared to the plus side
