TonyĀ·5Ā·Nov. 2023Ā·Ā "A great room, top floor, impeccably clean and spacious. The central location made getting around the city to various attractions easy either as a short walk, or taking a three-wheeler. A small cafe attached offered good Sri Lankan food. I began my day there each morning. The management and staff were always ready and willing to assist and cared for my well-being and comfort. They were polite, helpful and fun, indeed they are the charm of this listing."

NeilĀ·5Ā·Apr. 2025Ā·Ā "We loved this place, and it was my favourite hotel in Sri Lanka. Beautiful colonial style, and you feel the history of the place. Impeccable and friendly service. The best hotel buffet we had in Sri Lanka. Well-equipped gym, and a pool for swimming. Great location. As with everywhere we stayed in Sri Lanka, no questions or issues with me (a man) sharing a double bed with my husband. We will definitely book again here as our Colombo stopover for our next trip to SL."

Location is exceptional, with immediate access to a white sand beach, and secluded from all other constructions. And for scuba diving lovers, as I am, diving centers are just 5-minutes rickshaw drive away."
