    comfy room
    helpful staff

    I had an awesome stay in a Deluxe King Room with Sea View. The rooftop pool had amazing views, and the gym was great too. Staff were super helpful when I checked in at 1 am. Breakfast was decent, and my room was comfy with nice amenities. I wished I could’ve stayed longer! 🌅

    half sea view
    limited food options

    Stunning views with some hiccups

    The half sea view from my Deluxe King Room was the highlight, along with complimentary tea. The modern shower was refreshing after a long day of exploring Colombo.

    Unfortunately, the food options were quite limited, and I faced a frustrating dispute over bottled water that dampened the experience. Also, check-in was a bit awkward on the 10th floor.

    nice location
    family-friendly activities
    slow dining service

    The location is perfect for exploring Colombo, especially the harbor. My two teenagers loved spending time at the rooftop pool, enjoying the stunning views. We also visited the Royal Colombo Golf Club, which is a great spot for a fun family outing.

    My kids wished for quicker food service during our stay.

    rooftop pool
    comfy bed
    average breakfast

    I loved relaxing by the amazing rooftop pool with those stunning city views and enjoyed the comfy bed in my room, where I could sip on some free tea. The pool area was nice for chilling out after a long day, and the gym had everything I needed for a quick workout. Just a heads up, the breakfast wasn’t really anything special, so maybe grab a bite out nearby too! 😊

    delicious breakfast
    great staff
    outdated amenities

    good experience but needs some tweaking

    The breakfast offered each morning was genuinely delightful and exceeded my expectations. The staff were attentive and made our family feel welcomed from the moment we arrived. The city view from our Deluxe King Room was spectacular, providing a vibrant glimpse into the life below, which I truly appreciated.

    However, a few amenities felt outdated.

    Impressive staff and comfortable stay

    I had a fantastic experience at this hotel, thanks to the incredible staff who made my stay enjoyable. The check-in process was a breeze, and I truly appreciated Miss Roche for helping me upgrade to a room with a stunning city and sea view. The Deluxe Twin Room was spacious, well-maintained, and super comfy, making it a great place to relax. The rooftop pool offered amazing views, though I think more sun beds would be beneficial for guests wanting to enjoy it.
