I stayed here for one night at the end of my trip. It had a colonial historical atmosphere and a good location, which was wonderful. The facilities were old, but the room was bright, clean and comfortable. I had a wonderful time. I would like to stay here again when I visit Colombo.

The room is too old. The location is perfect. One end is on the sea, but the other end is too close to the road and is noisy! But the restaurant and scenery are great

It has a long history and is in a very good location, right on the coast, with a prairie just outside and the highest-end shopping mall a few hundred meters away. The service staff are very sincere and enthusiastic. The only drawback is that the hotel is very old and the facilities are also old.

The superior room is really too damp. I used a hair dryer to dry my clothes and hung them out, but they were wet again. It was really too damp, too damp, too damp. I don't know about other room types, but this superior room is too damp because it faces the sea. The room is not as big as the pictures show. Because it is too noisy in the room, turning on the air conditioner will have a damp and cold effect, so I dare not turn it on. The hotel has a holiday atmosphere. The service is also good, but the room is too humid
