Location very central and staff very attentive. The helped me get a SIM for my phone which worked out much cheaper than the airport and they exchanged money for me also which saved money and time.

Room was windowless and the air conditioner was very loud. Someone unlocked and entered my room during the night - albeit by accident. Breakfast very basic and not great. I feel bad leaving a negative as the staff weer so nice.

I don't understand some of the low scores because there's nothing wrong with this hotel. No, it's not like the cozy Guesthouses you find elsewhere in the country, but it's a spotless clean typical big city basic budget hotel like the ones you find elsewhere in the world. Basic, big enough room with a bed and a desk. Lots of power outlets to charge all your gadgets. The common bathrooms were kept clean at all times, and there were so many of them on each floor. A nice common room with tables and chairs, free tea and coffee, a nice rooftop sitting area, and excellent WiFi (to be Sri Lanka anyway). Friendly staff too. Superb location right in the thick of things in the Fort. Restaurants and bars literally on their doorstep.

It was nothing I didn't like

The location was convenient in the Fort area. A good property with access to some popular bars and landmark areas in walking distance. Staff was polite and helpful.

A hostel vibe was missing, may be it was due to off-season.

Booked a private room as a short-term stay before heading to the airport. Really impressed by how modern and clean everything was, especially the bathroom. It's nice that there's a mini fridge for leftovers and chilling water too. The single rooms are all on their own hallway that's very quiet and private. The location is also an easy walk or tuktuk ride from the Fort train station and right by the Dutch Hospital restaurant area. I talked to one of the new owners who said they are making investments in the property and it already seemed better than I expected based on current reviews.

The private rooms don't have windows, which some may see as a negative, but I think it helps with soundproofing and light pollution, especially for just a short stay.

Location

Great location, good value for money.

Room didn't have a window.

The location was great and the staff really nice.

It was perfect for one night. Normal, clean room, really kind staff, excellent location, fast wifi.

We left around 8 a.m. and we couldn't have the breakfast we paid for, because the chef was coming to work around 8 am. They could have been resolve this somehow (e.g. a sandwich and a water to go).

good location, friendly staff

Dark room with no window

Location is good. Nice people.

The private rooms with bathrooms really aren’t worth the price when there are no windows (wasn’t in mine) and no option of a double bed (two singles). TV didn’t work though they offered to change the room if I needed a TV. Not the most comfortable beds either and breakfast was disorganised. I got a couple of slices of watermelon that looked off/couple of days old and a passable omelette. Some juice would be great or a fruit salad. The stay doesn’t justify the price. There are much better options in Colombo and it doesn’t cost much more to stay in a really nice hotel.

Fantastic location, right in the heart of Colombo Fort. Good price, and I appreciated the inclusion of a little bar fridge. Staff were very friendly.

The room had no windows.

Tja.

Röom without window. Chaotic situation around late breakfast no excuses ( no water, no food in the beginning, surroundings not really nice.

Good location to travel with bus and train.

Basic breakfast, no coffee

the hotel was very close to FORT RAILWAY station

staff really friendly and help you with all you need, wifi was good for my work, was able to leave my luggage in a safe place which was so helpful and it was great value for money

breakfast

location is perfect

the room had no windows, and therefore it felt a bit like a prisomcell.

It's a very nice budget place in the centre of Colombo. The staff was very kind and polite and the bed was really comfortable. Everything was fairly clean, too. I also appreciated the free breakfast.

The room felt slightly stuffy but it wasn't terrible and I was able to sleep well.

Stayed first time in a bunk bed. Nothing to worry about. Plenty of bathrooms and toilets available. Easy access to the heart of colombo. Breakfast was very good. Room and bed was clean. Unlimited wifi and comfortable AC room. I didnt expect this much for the price.

Nothing at all.
