Nicest place we stayed in Sri Lanka. After many nights with a family all in one room in was so nice to have some space and just look out at the amazing view! Use of the pool was also lovely. Shanuka popped round on the first night to help us with ideas for our visit and has been a great host.

I love this hotel and it’s history, there is a small museum around the back. The room was beautiful and clean and the bathroom had recently been renovated. The breakfast buffet is amazing with western and local food and the staff were so friendly and helpful. My favorite part is sitting in the evening at the bar watching the beautiful sunset.

The room was beautiful and spacious, one of the nicest rooms I've stayed in and I stay in nice hotels for a living. I was shocked at just how lovely it was given the really cheap price. The staff were incredibly friendly, helpful and welcoming. I don't think I'd want to stay anywhere else in Colombo!

Beautiful view, quiet. All the meals ať he restaurant were delicious, a great variety of food at breakfast buffett and at dinner. The staff was very helpful, only the cashier in front of the dining room never smiled, but he was also ok. I liked the swimming pool, though it was a bit noisy, just to swim and go.

    A cozy hotel situated overlooking the Wellawatta Beach, on Marine Drive. Don't miss the pool on the third floor it has magnificent ocean view. The rooms are quite spacious and bed is very comfortable. I had booked an ocean view and we enjoyed the magnificent sunset.

    This hotel probably has one of the best locations in Colombo - It is right on the beachfront. It has an old colonial charm to it. Would highly recommend staying here.
