Very lovely employees and service. Such helpful and nice people, although we had short-term change of plans they were welcoming and supporting. Had a nice view at the Ocean which was relaxing. Wlan for free and nice clean room. Would recommend going there!

This is a sweet little hotel right on marine drive with the most magnificent views of the sea with the occasional train chugging past. The place is maintained very well. We stayed in the topmost floor in the room with a jacuzzi, which also has a gorgeous balcony. (Only downside that the wi-fi doesn’t reach the room upstairs) The beds and linen provided were fluffy and new and super soft and made you feel very very cared for! The place is managed by a wonderful manager and a very helpful team. The ocean front hotel has the perfect nostalgic vibe for a great start or end to your holiday! We had a super stay here ❤️

A very peaceful place, view was amazing towards the sea. Always windy and will never make you feel hot. Clean and decent rooms. The staff were very helpful, and manager was very friendly and flexible to needs. If you want a place with peace, no distractions, this is the place Will come back for sure whenever I come to Sri Lanka

Room infested with ants, staff looking finding difficult communicate in English, AC was there but not working properly, upstairs balcony was not maintained, had loads dirt in Jacuzzi, no hot water coming jacuzzi as well. Convenient place to travel around Colombo, but not up to the standard for price we are paying. It should less than £30.00 per day. Room service not unless you ask for it, Not up to standerd at all. I want recommend any one coming here.

Der Leiter des Hotels ist sehr zuvorkommend und lieb. Er hat bereits unsere gebuchte 3 Nächte auf Anfrage auf 2 Nächte reduziert und dementsprechend die Preise angepasst. Das Zimmer ist geräumig und ist mit einer Klimaanlage ausgestattet.
