    Well, maybe it would have been nice if there were maybe some tea/coffee and creamer sachets and mugs in room 510, though we're told we can access but I don't think I saw any on both occasions. But, it's not a deal breaker. I still love the place.

    Everything. I just love the place so much, I wish I could live there. 😅

    This is a new and very clean hotel — everything was spotless! It’s about 15 minutes from the city center by tuk-tuk, so it’s easy to get around while still being in a quieter area. The staff were really kind and helpful throughout our stay. A great choice if you're staying in Colombo!

    Maybe some curtains would be nice for each beds. For some privacy and to block the lights.

    I am travelling alone. This place was super easy to find. Name is written in big blond letters. Receptionists were super helpful, Clear communication. Supermarket right opposite the stay. Easy to catch uber/taxi/tuktuk. It has a roof top restaurant where each and every staff was friendly, approachable and kind. Will definitely stay there.

    On a main road, so was noisy in the room because of the vehicles. Crossing the road is a hassle because of traffic (most of the facilities avaible on the otherside of the road). There were frequent powercuts in the room which lasted few seconds (maybe a maintenance issue)

    Staff were friendly, rooms were clean and the neighbourhood had a lot of activity on going. There were restaurants, cafe's, ATM's, convenience stores and supermarkets at walking distance.

    There were a few minor issues during our stay. The key card lock didn’t work initially — an issue that seemed to affect the entire floor. The curtains in our room wouldn’t close properly, though the staff quickly provided a workaround. At one point, the water stopped while I was washing my hands, and the lights flickered occasionally, suggesting there may have been a temporary maintenance issue.

    The hotel appears to be relatively new, with mostly all furnishings in excellent condition. The room was spacious and clean, and the bathroom was generously sized. Basic amenities were provided, and everything was well-maintained. Although the hotel is located a bit away from the main attractions, it’s situated in a quiet, pleasant area with plenty of restaurants and shops nearby. The rooftop restaurant offers a lovely view and serves delicious food. The staff were friendly, accommodating, and always ready to help with a smile, which made the stay even more enjoyable.
