Fantastic Residence Hotel in Colombo,Sri Lanka
Fantastic residence-type business hotel to stay.Very attentive, helpful and friendly receptionist (all) and breakfast staff. Room serviced daily, and there is always help available if you need it. Healthy breakfast with tropical fruits and juice ''continental breakfast''. My experience with this hotel is excellent and up to standard. I will definitely be back at this hotel someday. Thank you.

Not Worth
When I checked in to the hotel I had paid for 2 guests and I said I will be having a friend over and the manager said that they only alllw couples at the property and wanted me to show my marriage certificate and I was flabbergasted as I’ve traveled to over 30 countries and I’ve NEVER had to show my marriage certificate lol will never stay here ever again. Room was small smelled of smoke.
Extremely good staff & easy accessibility for everything

The hotel is tucked away in a little alley across from Barefoot Cafe. The room is spotless, cozy, and filled with free coffee and cookies. Imran was very friendly and was able to arrange transportation to the airport.

This hotel is in an office building on Galle Road, a few hundred meters from the sea. The rooms are nice, aircon and ceiling fans are strong, hot shower, good breakfast. Plenty of restaurants in walking distance. Easy to get Uber or auto rickshaw out front. Will definitely stay again. Thanks to Imran and the staff for a great stay.
Very nicely furnished hotel, clean and tidy and staff were extremely helpful. Also, a very nice cup of coffee in the morning.

Okaish but needs improvements
The bathroom size was way too small, when sitting on the toilet your knees will touch the wall which makes it uncomfortable.

Snabbvisit i Colombo
Rent transithotell, rätt bra område, duger gott en natt eller två.
Ingen frukost tillgänglig, ingen terrass som utlovad.
