Alles in Allem sehr empfehlenswert, guter Preis und sehr zentral.
Pros:

Tolle Lage, nach hinten (wenn in der Nachbarschaft Livemusik spielt) etwas laut. Alles in Allem sehr empfehlenswert, guter Preis und sehr zentral.

Good Quality Facilities let down by Food Offering
Pros:

Really nice big plush room. Very helpful door staff

Cons:

Food Service at the hotel was pretty poor. Requests at breakfast, mainly not to have various things were totally ignored. One bar meal had to be returned because it was so poor
Mainly seemed to be poor management. Individual staff members seemed to be doing their very best.

Pros:

We found the overall experience was great especially the friendly efficient staff. I had accidently left some jewellery in my drawer and received a message advising me same the next day. - after we had left the country. We returned 3 weeks later to collect the items which had been kept safely. The staff are so polite, friendly and honest. I'm very grateful to have had a good outcome... Jill

Cons:

Just a must smell, but it is an old but beautiful historic building.

Charmingly rustic and luxurious
Pros:

Accessible and great location for the price - carpeted flooring in the room is what I like most. Good shower and huge room - the best room I had in Sri Lanka. So close to restaurants especially Ministry of crabs.
Overall, very good

Cons:

When we stayed - no vanity kits on the room. Just basic shower gel and wash.
Also place is near the restos and pub so music can still be heard in the room

Pros:

Staff were very friendly and helpful. Nice restaurant with a happy hour from five to seven.

Cons:

Strangely they play lift-type muzak in the corridors and open floor areas all night long. This makes no sense whatsoever because it seeps into the rooms and makes sleep difficult.
