They were eager to statsfy my needs.

Staff was super nice. Especially Mohammed. It was a great help. I was able to check in early without any issues. Breakfast was great for the price.

They still use Keys for the rooms. The hotel is rather small and they don't use Keycards yet.

Great staff, great location, really comfy beds

Great place to stay and the beds were very comfy.

The locks could be improved. If was also quite noisy in the morning but I assume this was because of a rude customer that was yelling and not considering the rest of the guests.

overall good. value for money.

Even though the room was small, it had all the amenities. I found the staff to be very polite and the location to be good.

When shaving, you can't see the mirror since it was in the washroom and the basin was in the room. The lift was half way up the stair.

perfect for my needs.

This is my second stay here. I came back because it was great the first time. This stay was even better. Imdad made sure I had everything I needed. He let me choose my room and even arranged my train ticket for the next day. After a long journey it was wonderful to be so well looked after and to feel so comfortable. The legendary barefoot cafe is just across the street too. I will definitely be back.

Great location and super friendly staff for a good price in Colombo

The location is perfect, just 5-10 minutes in tuktuk to all the touristic places in Colombo. The bed is confortable and the room is clean. The staff is really friendly, they helped us what everything we needed

The bathroom is not as big as I would like, but it is ok for one or two nights in Colombo

Great place to stay the night

Everything I needed was there. Even though it's located in the city, there is no noticeable noise.

The rooms are small. But considering the space they have, they did a good job on organizing everything.

Outstanding friendly hotel A++

My family and I stayed for 1 week, the staff were absolutely amazing (Mohammad especially, such a wonderfully helpful person) The 2 doormen (I forgot their names) were both very friendly and always helped if we needed anything too. All a huge credit to this hotel! Clean place and with perfectly working facilities and showers with great shower pressure too (which is refreshing and needed in the Sri Lankan heat!) I would definitely recommend this place if you need somewhere reasonably priced close to central Colombo. They provided us with plenty of water and candles to cope during the national power outages that Sri Lanka was experiencing during our visit and always checked that we were comfortable during the blackouts.

They didn't have a working power generator during the national power cuts which isn't entirely their fault due to diesel shortages in Sri Lanka at the time of my visit. Also there was some contruction going on downstairs which was noisy at times but the staff spoke to the workers and they stopped after we complained so that we could sleep.

My stay was okay & the hotel served its purpose.

The location & its proximity to the area of my intentions to travel to Colombo. The reception staff Imran, very polite, humble & helpful.

not exactly what it looked liked on the photos. The items specified in the lists while booking didn't match. Due to the ongoing construction in the surrounding, not a nice place to be if you are a light sleeper.

Great Hotel in most attractive location

I was extremely happy with the customer service, all the staff, Front Office, Housekeeping & Security as well the management. Special thanks to Imran who has gone beyond our expectations. Haq assisted us with pre-arrival, Imdad assisted us on all our inquiries. All the staff who work here are great assets to the company. Overall I would definitely recommend this hotel for business & leisure travelers.

Not worth the money

The staffs were nice & helpful. & the breakfast was good.

First of all, my room had a really bad smell. Absolutely hated that smell. I didn't like the fact that the hotel isn't actually an entire building. Instead, it's just a floor inside a building which has other offices. I feel like it was a lot of money considering the cons I had faced. So, I had to check-out really early.

Value for money

- friendly and very helpful staff - easy check-in and check-out - perfect location - clean - numerous eateries nearby

- bathroom/toilet is too narrow (no leg room between toilet seat and wall in front) - don’t like the glass walls of bathroom - no restaurant at the property
