We stayed for five nights. Room was good, but AC unit never worked correctly. Asked for maintenance, but it still didn’t work. So had to use the fan at night. Construction noise next door during the day. Good for one night stay only. The view from the top floor restaurant made the stay worthwhile.

Great for a convenient, not-too-touristy stay upon arriving in Colombo. The hotel is hidden and quiet and the staff is extremely hospitable. Rooftop views for the restaurant are the highlight.

I’d highly recommend this place! It’s an unassuming spot but the rooftop has an absolutely spectacular view with an incredible restaurant. I had the best seafood pasta I’ve ever had there; each meal was truly amazing. The staff are so, so kind and helpful. The room was clean, comfortable, spacious, and had everything I needed. I only spent a night here but I wish I had stayed longer simply because I enjoyed this hotel so much.
