The property is very well-located in the city, making it easy to access the train station and nearby restaurants. The rooms, toilets, showers, restaurant, and beds are all well-maintained, which adds to the overall comfort. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, which made the stay even more enjoyable. Despite having a minimal reception area, the rooms are surprisingly spacious.

The only drawback of this hotel is the wifi. For a city hotel, having unreliable wifi is quite disappointing, especially since it’s been pointed out in previous reviews with no apparent improvements. During my trip to the south of Sri Lanka, I stayed at hostels costing $15 or less per night, and even they managed to provide good wifi. It’s a significant issue that the hotel should address.

Perfect location in the centre of the fort, directly behind the old Dutch hospital food court. Clean, modern and comfortable room. Hotel has despite small size a real gym and s nice little restaurant.

The rooms on booking had no breakfast possibility. Breakfast is available and good but for Sri Lanka standard and relative to the room rate itself, quite high (it added 50% to the room rate).

First and Foremost - Sri Lanka as a country real needs support from tourism - so would recommend everyone visit the country. Special Mention to Gamini Kumara at the Restaurant - He was super helpful and took really good care of us at breakfast The hotel is new and in in the heart of the tourist location of Colombo right next to the Dutch Hospital - Everything you might want to visit in terms of landmarks is within walking distance of the hotel There are lots of restaurants, cafes and bars to suit all budgets in and around the hotel - so you don't need public transport Would definitely recommend everyone to stay here

They need to improve the quality of coffee served at breakfast - we found it to be too weak

A good mattress and aircon. A good shower. Thick window blinds for a good night's sleep in a well darkened room and, being on the 7th floor, well away from the noise of the Colombo streets. Very handy restaurants and bars nearby and a good shop for buying souvenirs and clothing in The Fort (Odel). A 15 minute walk to Galle Face Green and a 15 minute walk to the Pettah Market

It took 5 minutes for the hot water to reach the shower on the 7th floor, so go and do something else while you're waiting. Didn't like the "slippy slidey" plastic sheet on the bed below the bottom sheet.

Our reserved room was upgraded, which is always a pleasant surprise. The room was large and clean, nicely decorated in modern style with a comfortable bed. The restaurant had Western, Indian and Sri Lankan dishes on offer for dinner, and we were especially impressed with the latter. The service was also excellent. Breakfast was OK and buffet style. The front desk staff agreed to keep our large bags while we toured around Sri Lanka for 12 days, so a special thanks for that service. The hotel is very well located for exploring the Colombo Fort area.

Nothing to dislike in the hotel, but outside are many men trying to get you to use tuc tucs. They will tell you that there is an amazing event today that we must go and see, and that we must take only "official" red or black tuc tucs to go there because the others are "private" (i.e. bad), Then the next guy will tell you the opposite. It's all BS but rather annoying when trying to enjoy the local sights.

**Hotel Review** We had an absolutely wonderful experience at this hotel! The hotel is clean, cozy, comfortable and well maintained throughout. The staff was friendly, welcoming, and always ready to assist with any request. Every interaction was handled promptly and with a smile. The food in the restaurant was very good. The location of the hotel is excellent. It’s conveniently situated, making it easy to explore the surrounding area and access all the major attractions.

TV has local channels available, no other applications.

I liked the location as it is within the Dutch Hospital and its a great spot for tourist and first time visitors to Colombo.

I did not like that the hotel stated it had laundry services which gave me the expectation that these were provided in house but it turned out they outsourced laundry services and this needed more time which caught us unaware as their laundry forms stated we could have our laundry back within a day (not the case) and the staff on duty handling this particular situation was not very courteous and generally unhelpful. This experience dampened an otherwise great stay.

Great hotel for a short stay. Very close to so many places and the staff are very friendly. the ladies at the Reception were super helpful. i did not use many facilities, but having no pool was a trick. the gym was small but enough for my needs.

the sign in front is a bit too small. the flags of the next hotel covers it, so a bigger neon sign would be very useful. also, watch out for the Tuk Tuk drivers who can be tricky. I think it would be great for the hotel to provide the help of calling a taxi, as they do not. my sister asked to call one and was refused saying its hotel policy.

We stayed here for 2 separate nights. On our first stay we had a room at the back with a bathroom in need of some refurbishment (specifically the shower), the 2nd stay we had a super room at the front with no faults at all. The first stay all the staff were super friendly, the 2nd stay the staff were more neutral. We ate in the restaurant both stays and the food was superb both times.

We had an early train and so asked for 2 breakfast boxes - they cost $24 and each box contained a tiny cheese sandwich, 2 tiny frankfurter sausages, an egg, one cupcake, 1 biscuit, 1 banana and a bottle of water. There’s a lovely bakery almost next door so would recommend going there if you have an early start to get something far more delicious at less than half the price. Our first stay coincided with a weekend with extremely loud music from an external venue until around 01.00.

Great location, friendly staff.

It seems silly to write this but……the TV remote was SO!!! frustrating. We could not, for the life of us, work out how to get the remote to talk to the TV. It was IMPOSSIBLE!!!
