Good and kind care service
1.0
The front & lobby of the hotel looks appealing, however inside is a different story. The room was dark and not cleaned properly. Only 1 lift was working and very small. Reception staff no form of welcoming guests or smiling. The hotel needs to keep up with maintenance and revamp the place up.

The staff was great. All very helpful from front desk to housekeeping. The room was spacious and comfortable. In room coffee, tea, refrigerator, and tv. Shower was good and hot. Breakfast buffet at additional charge was well appointed with local and western food selection. Hotel had a nice pool that was good since beach was a bit distant but walkable.There were many food places in easy walking from stores, bakeries, food stalls, and restaurants. Area was safe but always be careful. I could easily recommend the Sapphire for leisure, business, or family stays. One must always remember where they are and not compare to home hotles, especially chains. This is not a 5 star but was more than satisfactory for the price. One caveat which is not the fault of hotel; the crows in nearby trees were relentless in sqwaking. Traffic horns made for good competition in volume. Perhaps the hotel could replace windows with newer glass for sound barrier.Otherwise a very nice and well run hotel. I would stay again but ask for a room away from street.

Bathroom in need of an update, a bit worn but clean and functional. Good size room with comfortable beds. Our room was facing a busy street; restaurants and grocers, pharmacy, atm all within a few blocks. Front desk pleasant and restaurantwas good, breakfast (included) very nice and servers were very attentive.

The location of the hotel is on the main street in Colombo. Quite convenient. It is situation in a local neighbourhood that don't have a lot of sight-seeing or tourist spot. The swimming pool of this hotel is alright - clean and quiet except no attendant there for any towel. Security of the hotel could be a concern as all notices have the highlight saying - any property lose is not the responsibility of the hotel. I don't have any valuable lose but it always worried me if my computer or cash inside my suitcase would be lose. Wifi is not reliable. I always take me minutes before getting on a website.
Restaurant services is bad. The manager brought me to a table that guests just left after finishing breakfast. The manager simply put away the coffee cup without changing utensils. I never experienced that I have to ask services to put in new utensils as they never recognised it.

Positives: Good service. Clean, large rooms. Comfortable, large bed. Air conditioning worked well.Negatives: Old and tired and in need of refurbishment. Ash trays in all rooms suggesting all rooms are smoking (although no smell of smoke in room). Poor reception on TV channels. No view from room. Expensive hotel restaurant. Limited local restaurants. Hotel restaurant started playing music around 6am which could be heard from bedroom. Wifi generally worked well but stopped working on a couple of occasions.

The location of the hotel is very nice and the facility is not that bad. The management should think about renovating the building since it's an old building.
The staff from the reception to the restaurant are nice.
