Port View City Hotel

Very compact room but had all the amenities. Value for the money paid. Location wise - it’s in the busy market area but noise was minimal in the room. No port view from the room unless you go to balcony area Staff were very very helpful- went to extent of getting us a cab from Uber. Highly recommend this hotel -value for money.

Room was compact

Everything worked

Nothing

Great location in the hustle and bustle of the market area, very busy and not with tourists

Nothing, good value, loved being in a real hub of locals

Very good location, close to Pettah market and the red and white mosque in walking distance.

I understand Colombo is more expensive, but it still felt overpriced. Single bed in a tiny room, very weird setup of the room (bathroom and room separated, had to pass in front of a translucent door next to the elevator, could close it but didn‘t feel very secure). Balcony is not true: it is a private area that only the room can access, but open towards the staircase and there is a tinted window in front (no airflow), so it‘s not a balcony. Room was noisy from the street, lot of honking. Breakfast is okay. The person at reception was very weird, rushed me a lot at checkin. I was allowed to leave my luggage but also that felt like I was making a huge request, and only allowed until 5pm (why?). Overall I just didn‘t feel very welcome or particularly safe inside the hotel. And the receptionist really pushed me into leaving a review, sorry but if you want me to review I need to be honest.
