A gem near the jewelry district
The staff is friendly and helpful. The hotel is a short walk or taxi ride from many interesting sites in the city. The views aren’t great, (not from my room at least,) but this is a good deal for a traveler on a budget.

BAD EXPERIANCE OF VISIT TO COLOMBO.
Room service was not good. Staff was not bothered to change the towel, bed sheets, supply toiletaries, even after the end of my 5 days stay. I had to repeatedly request for the service. Breakfast was called for from the next door restarant. Limited choice of breakfast. Overall not happy during my stay between 8th October to 13th October, 2016.

Hotel not to recommend
Beside the fact that we unfortunately booked for 7 nights however we only stayed one night due to very small room not at all same than on pictures, no refrigerator, no safe and bad location, the owner refused to reimburse the last 3 nights when we informed him that we changed our schedule and want to go to Kandy. Not customer oriented but only money oriented hotel management.
