My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms, although spacious, were not well-maintained, and I had to request housekeeping. The service was lacking, with some staff behaving unprofessionally. The location was convenient for getting around but had an unpleasant smell. The dining options were varied but the quality was inconsistent. Overall, an average stay with both positives and negatives to consider.

The hotel is centrally located in Colombo, providing a nice base for sightseeing with a reasonable price offering inclusive breakfast. The rooms are clean and spacious, though there is a peculiar musty odor mixed with mothballs noticeable upon check-in. The friendly and helpful staff enhance the overall experience, making up for the need for some facility redesign and improvements to ease guest movement.
