Arriving at the hotel in the evening with no one to receive us was a bit of a downer, but the rooms, although outdated, were large. It would have been helpful to view the room before checking in. The service, particularly from the front desk and guards, was incredibly kind and helpful. The location is good, close to important places but could use some improvement for the price. The dining experience was simple and tasty, offering a nice variety between Western and Sri Lankan dishes.

The hotel had a very poor room cleaning service, but the rooms themselves were clean and comfortable. The staff was useless and check-out took too long, almost causing us to miss our flight. The location was great, with easy access to eateries and shops. Dining options were satisfactory with a good variety of dishes. Overall, a good value place to stay though some aspects needed improvement.

My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms were spacious and decent for the price, but cleanliness was a major issue with mold, flies, and ants present. The service was helpful, but there were instances of poor customer handling. The location was convenient with good eateries nearby, but the heavy cigarette smoke was disturbing. The dining experience exceeded expectations, offering quality beyond what I anticipated.

Arriving at the hotel in the evening around 6 o'clock, there was no one there to receive me. The rooms towards the street with slippery floors are in need of a facelift. Service was lacking as they didn't really care about our needs and were more focused on payment, which is disappointing. The location is convenient, close to important places in Colombo and just 40 minutes from the airport.

The hotel's rooms with single beds joined were disappointing, as the carpet was very old and the room had a smelly, uninviting atmosphere. On a positive note, the service was exceptional, with the staff being very nice and helpful. The location, while not easily accessible and far from main business areas, offers a quiet environment close to important places in Colombo. The dining experience was simple, so don't expect too much. The facilities were decent, providing the basics you'd need for a comfortable stay.

The hotel's location is ideal, close to important places in Colombo and just 40 minutes from the airport. The rooms, while in need of a facelift and lacking in ambience, are spacious with joined single beds, offering decent comfort. The service, although not friendly and sometimes indifferent, did go out of the way to assist, like arranging taxis to the airport. The dining experience had a good variety of dishes, with made-to-order omelettes, despite some delays. The facilities are rundown, with water dropping from the ceiling in the bathroom.

The hotel's location is top-notch with easy access to some good eateries and Selyn handicrafts nearby. The rooms were unfortunately not well-maintained, with mold, flies, and ants in the bathroom, and dirty sheets and pillows suggesting poor cleanliness standards. The floors were dangerously slippery with polished tiles, and the overall cleanliness was subpar.

The hotel is conveniently located, close to important places in Colombo, with a calm atmosphere and just 40 minutes from the airport. The rooms have an old central air conditioning system, but they are equipped with good air conditioning. The service is well-trained and polite, although not very welcoming at times. The dining options are simple, so don't expect too much variety. Overall, a good value place to stay with plenty of nearby restaurants and boutiques.
