I really enjoyed my stay and will 100% recommend this hotel to anyone visiting. Thank you all! 🙏🫶
Pros:

I cannot thank the team enough for making my stay so comfortable.
The room was immaculately clean, and I was so grateful for the early check-in and late checkout to accommodate my transport. That kind of flexibility really shows they care about their guests.
The breakfast was absolutely delicious, and the staff went above and beyond by suggesting amazing local places for lunch and dinner. I got to experience the best of the area thanks to them.
Most of all, the staff were so warm and friendly. It felt like being looked after by friends.

Bello, ma non tenuto bene.
Pros:

Design della struttura
Ampiezza camere
Su richiesta breakfast box ed alcune stampe fornite.
Staff cordiale.

Cons:

Hotel bello ma trascurato
Pulizia molto sommaria, muri e bagno logori dal tempo, cuscini non puliti dentro. Polvere.
Oggetti depositati un po'ovunque.
Ascensore rotto
Nonostante abbia segnalato alcune cose non sono state fatte.
Colazione fatta non nel cortile come foto ma all'interno con odori della cucina.

Pleasant stay
Pros:

The hotel is nice overall. Location is perfect and quiet. Car park is available. Rooms are spacious. AC was working perfectly. Bed is very comfortable. Hot shower is amazing.

Cons:

Staff is friendly but can be improved. The breakfast definitively needs to be improved. The hotel structure might need some overall renovation. Bathroom might need some deep cleaning.

Lawaai en niet al te schoon
Pros:

Het bed was prima.
Internet werkte goed.
De kok probeerde echt een leuk ontbijt te creeren.

Cons:

Het bed stond op een verhoogde vloer. In de nacht geeft dit een uitdaging om zonder vallen in en uit bed te komen.
Badkamer en douche deur echt heel krakkemikkig. Kamer niet echt schoon (plakkerige vloeren, stof ophopingen, etc. Veel lawaai van het verkeer.

Pros:

The hotel staff were so helpfull and welcoming. The room size was v.good .Despite the location a bit away from colombo center but it was manageable by using Uber or Pickme app.

Thanks to Mr.Mendish and his team as well Mr.Kathishan & his friend for their kindness, support and warm welcoming. Actually, the Rockwell staff reflecting Sri lanken people kindness.

Note: Although the hotel main gate will be closed after 8:00pm, but you can contact with hotel staff (they will gave whattsapp and call number) so they will open the gate for you. So, no issue Regarding this matter if you like to go outside at night period.


Thank you Rockwell Colombo Hotel staff.
