Port View City Hotel

Good location within walking distance to Pettah Market, train & bus stations & most sites. Short & cheap tuk-tuk rides to some, especially in the evening. Staff were very helpful & friendly. The 1st night was a twin room. TV issues unfortunately. 2nd night a double room on a different floor. No TV issues. Rooms rear of hotel - quiet. Mosque nearby - very early call to prayer but only last a few minutes, not an issue. Modern bathroom. Breakfast average but no compliant.

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

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.
