Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is in a great location by the sea in the popular Fort Area, perfect for shopping and exploring the city. The rooms were spotless but a bit cramped and had a strange damp smell. The staff were mostly courteous and professional, although some were too insistent about services. The dining experience was superb but came at a high price. Overall, a good hotel with a few drawbacks.
The hotel offers spacious rooms with a great bathroom, a whole dressing area, and the pool view was a bit narrow, but overall had plenty of space. The rooms were super clean. The staff at the reception desk, especially the concierge team led by Prianthya, were incredibly helpful and friendly, although services such as restaurant and train bookings were costly compared to external options. The location is convenient for sightseeing, though there are limited nearby attractions. The dining experience was varied, with a mix of local and international cuisines. The facilities were modern and well-kept.
My stay at the hotel was fantastic! The rooms were comfortably large and cozy, with a lovely view overlooking the Indian Ocean. The speedy check-in and checkout process, along with access to the executive lounge for breakfast and happy hour from 5-8pm, added great convenience to my stay. However, the ongoing construction work nearby was a bit of a downside.
The hotel offers clean and spacious rooms with a lovely bed, though they could be bigger. The location is very nice, providing easy access to nearby attractions. The dining experience is delicious with a wide variety of food, and the service is exceptional with a friendly and flexible staff. The outside pool with bars and music is a wonderful facility for guests to enjoy.
The hotel has some great features like attentive service and a central location. However, the rooms could use some updating, and there's a shortage of sun beds by the pool. The espresso martini could be better.
The hotel is ideally located in Colombo 1 area, near Dutch Hospital, providing a convenient spot for business and leisure stays. The rooms, though well-appointed, are on the smaller side, suitable for individual travelers. The dining experience offers a delightful variety of dishes, including authentic Sri Lankan cuisine, amidst a festive atmosphere. The facilities cater to basic needs without any standout features, making it a standard yet comfortable choice for a stay.
The hotel offers a comfortable stay with great housekeeping staff. The room size is a bit small, but it's cozy, and the ocean view adds to the restful ambiance. However, a noisy car park can be distracting, and the sea view is not prominently visible.
I had a fabulous time at the hotel, enjoying a beautiful view of the sea from my room. The weekends were a bit noisy due to thin walls but the overall comfort was great, with just a little need for touch-ups here and there.
I had a fantastic stay at this hotel with clean rooms offering a nice view and a great location, although it's situated just above the vent system. The service was outstanding, especially from Ranuka, Chamidu, and Jani who went above and beyond to make my stay special. The location is superb, right in front of Galle Face Green facing the Indian Ocean. The dining experience was among the best I've had, with a huge spread and attentive staff. The facilities met my expectations, providing everything I needed for a comfortable stay.
If you have the budget, the spacious rooms with huge windows are a great choice. The cleaning of the guest room is impressive, but the check-in experience and interaction with management were a bit of a letdown. However, the proactive service from various staff members brightened the stay.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The location is great, very close to amenities, but the development nearby is affecting the 'beach' feel. The rooms, however, were quite small and exposed to the loud swimming pool 'beach club' noise. The dining options were fantastic with a wide variety, and the service was friendly but unexpected charges for extra water bottles in the room stood out.
The hotel offers very comfortable rooms with absolutely everything you could need, albeit slightly on the smaller side, but tastefully done. The service is top-notch with helpful staff who go out of their way to ensure a pleasant stay. The location is modern and renovated, though there are some loud evening music and limited quiet bar options. The dining experience is worth it with a good spread, especially the dinner buffet. Overall, a great stay with excellent service and amenities.
