Spacious and Comfortable

“The Beautiful Double Room I stayed in was impressively spacious and provided a very comfortable setting. The air-conditioning was particularly welcome, as it offered a cool respite from Colombo's hot and humid weather. I really appreciated the room's cleanliness and the ability to spread out comfortably.” view full review

Convenient Shower Setup

“The shower in my room was quite convenient with a door, no water leaked out into the bathroom area. It was also consistently hot, ensuring a refreshing experience after returning from exploring the city. While the water pressure was a bit on the lower side, it didn't detract from my overall enjoyment.” view full review

Delicious On-site Restaurant

“The hotel's restaurant served a good variety of meals. I enjoyed a nice dinner there with noodles and rice, and the ambiance was pleasant for a relaxing evening. While it was on the pricier side for Colombo, the quality of food made it well worth it.” view full review

Great Communal Areas

“There was a lovely lounge area with ample seating around the central courtyard that served as a great place to unwind. I frequently sat there to sip a cup of tea while enjoying some leisure time, which added a nice touch to the overall hotel experience.” view full review
