We travelled to Colombo for business purposes and a series of meetings. On check-in, we were upgraded to a suite due to the duration of our stay. The room, facilities, restaurants, lounge, etc... were all superb! Extra mention to Ms. Dona and Mr. Pradeep for their above-and-beyond service, attentiveness and hospitality

Everything. The apartment was in a fabulous area where we could walk or grab a quick Uber if we preferred. Check in and out was easy. The apartment itself was perfect for our family of 4, so clean and comfortable. Would thoroughly recommend.

Despite its unassuming appearance, this hotel in Colombo boasts a conveniently central location, providing all essential amenities for a brief stay in town. The staff is exceptional, and the WiFi quality is commendable. While it lacks scenic views, it's an ideal budget-friendly choice for practical travelers.

Great spot! Lovely building in a good location (walking distance to a supermarket and a good base to explore Colombo by foot or cheap tuktuk). Very clean room and ensuite bathroom. Lovely rooftop with nice view. Use of the washing machine, kettle, fridge. Our host was welcoming, delightfully kind and so very helpful. You get a lot for a small price at this place. Highly recommended!

Lovely modern hotel overlooking the sea. Pool on the 9th floor small but very nice and cold beers went down well. Rooms were spacious, comfortable, well equipped, very clean and great bathroom. We loved the location - few cheap and cheerful street food/chea fun eating places and shops nearby and the lovely Barefoot cafe and shop round the corner. But very easy access to the centre of the city, Galle Face, markets, train station via tuk tuk for very little money.
