Ottima posizione e comfort, per una notte va bene!
Pros:

Ottima posizione, personale disponibile e gentile, camere confortevoli e buona colazione.

Cons:

Le camere affacciate sul retro ai piani più bassi hanno una vista un po’ squallida. Struttura in ordine ma un po’ anonima

Amazing - Definitely recommended for a stay in Colombo!
Pros:

We stayed at Sofia Hotel Colombo just for the last night of our trip in Sri Lanka - a perfect end rounding up our travel experience! Our stay could not have been better! The rooms are amazing and super clean. The food offered on the buffet for breakfast, lunch and dinner was absolutely outstanding and the staff, especially Rizuan and Janani, but everyone really, was extremly lovely, attentive and helpful! The rooftop pool area is incredible ad the facilities like the gym, are a great plus too. We were allowed for late check out without any issues so we were able to enjoy our last day in Sri Lanka to the fullest! Thank you and we would definitely love to come back!
