The hotel showcases charming Colonial features but noise from the generator can be bothersome. I upgraded to a more comfortable room with a lovely street and dock view, worth the extra cost.

The room I stayed in lacked the promised facilities, needed a good overhaul with damp patches, and had two single beds instead of a double as requested. The service from the hotel staff was courteous and caring, always in contact with local authorities for practicalities. The location, while surrounded by beautiful architectures, needs more investment to fulfill its potential. The dining experience offered a variety of cuisines but was only average. Overall, the hotel had some issues but also some positive aspects worth noting.

The hotel offers spacious rooms that are big, comfortable, and clean, but lack soundproofing, which could be a disturbance at times. The service was delightful and helpful, with friendly and courteous staff members. The location is convenient, being near a bus station with easy access to transportation, although the surroundings lack many amenities. The dining experience was good, especially with a fabulous view over the harbor. The hotel provides basic facilities, catering to essential needs without extravagant offerings.

The hotel had a convenient location near the bus station with good value for money. The rooms were basic but sometimes had temperature issues during showers. The staff was initially hesitant but very polite and helpful in handling service calls. The dining experience was excellent with a wide variety to choose from. However, the hotel appeared run down and a bit spooky, especially in the early morning hours.

I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The room was a bit dusty and mouldy at first, but I opted for a bigger room with a beautiful view of the street and the docks, and it was totally worth the few extra dollars. The service was friendly and efficient, and the location in the old Fort neighborhood of Colombo was perfect for exploring the city.
