Lovely hotel.
It’s an historic icon.
The swimming pool is fantastic. But the infrastructure around the pool needs an update very very urgently!!
Other than that it’s a lovely place with excellent staff.

Amazing historical colonial hotel. Staff are very attentive but do need to use initiative sometimes to solve guests needs & wants instead of following every rule set down no matter how small or irrelevant those rules are.
I wld highly recommend this hotel as we had a great stay there 👍👍🎉🎉

Very old hotel. If you don't mind still using keys to open doors to hotel and generally feeling like you're back in the 90's, then this is great.

Gorgeous colonial hotel by the beach. Easy to get to and head out to cafes and restaurants around the neighborhoods. Even better, just stay in and enjoy the resort.

A s usual everything was good here, however I must comment strongly about the very dangerous flooring round about the swimming pool, several people including myself have tripped over it and fallen down it really is disgrace and needs to be replaced immediately

The historical herritance hotel is full of nice polished wood staircases and floor, which some of them are carpeted. Classy. Service from front desk, porters, bar and restaurant servers, and spa are all subtle and nice. The English level here is generally better than other places I visited in Sri Lanka, though there is room for enhancement on English of some staff on the phone. Room is spacious and clean. I love the large windows that can be opened and allows sea breeze to draw into the room. This hotel is a quiet and safe place to enjoy the view of the Indian Ocean. You can see the fireworks lighted at the Colombo Port. Yet there are places require replacement, such as the bathtube leaking and the ceiling of one of the staircases.
About the food here, I would recommend the samosa and spring rolls rather than cakes and sandwiches. I didn't try the grill. Tea and coffee just average.
