Sri Lanka starts

The hotel was reasonably clean. The staff were very friendly. The food and the drink service was absolutely stunning. The area is very supportive with shops and easy transport links. The beachfront could be cleaner and the rooms could be updated slightly plugs and such like
Thomas, 4-night trip

6/10 Good

Still an iconic place in a stunning ocean location and rich in colonial experience. Food excellent as always and staff terrific but sorely in need of a major refurbishment. Haven't said that, YES, we would stay again: the positives out way the negatives.

Meth, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

The rooms are a disgrace. Shabby, dirty, stains on carpets broken items in bathroom, damp and paint peeling off the walls. Disgusting. We stayed one night only instead of the two we booked and paid for. Also staff service very poor. Take them off your platform. They damage your reputation

Rukshan, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

The views are amazing and the staffs general service was good. However the air-conditioning wasnt working and there was black mould and it was extremely difficult to sleep.
1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The staff were really attentive anr the location was good. Best bits for me were the breakfast which was delicious (lots of traditional dishes and a live hopper and omelette station) and the view was beautiful. Only downside was our aircon wasnt really too cooling and there were some small bugs on one of the tables but didnt touch our belongings and we didnt see them anywhere else. Was a nice hotel. Breakfast was the highlight
Nirthana, 3-night trip

Our room had a lovely outlook over the sea with a balcony. It was very comfortable and clean. The buffet breakfast was superb.

Steven, 3-night trip

Enjoyed the best food and view of the ocean. The hotel is old and rusty otherwise it’s a nice hotel for the price. The best breakfast buffet ever you can get in Sri Lanka for sure.

Graham, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

When we checked in originally the room’s AC did not work. However when we went to the reception the General manager was very attentive and quickly changed our room to a better one. This hotel has a special place in our family.
Jehana, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

AC wasn’t working. Rooms were pretty dated and dirty. This is our first place we stayed after landing in Sri Lanka so first impression was pretty bad. Food and the pool was the only good thing in this hotel. I still won’t go back.
