Paradise Road Tintagel Colombo

The feel culture heritage and location

Nothing not to like

Lots of character

Great stay in a quiet area of Colombo. Very helpful staff and nothing was a trouble. Enjoyed the bath

The hotel has a unique history and is centrally located in Colombo. I like boutique hotels with a small number of rooms. The food is outstanding - black pork curry, prawn curry, mud crab soup, lobster and crab fettucine - I cannot fault lunch and dinner service. The staff are lovely, kind, friendly - I would happily return just to see them again. There was a lady that was really trying to help us settle us in - she did do all she could do considering we flew in in the early morning that day to ensure our room was ready. Best tamarind chilli martini ever. Delicious toasty cinnamon swirls on the 2nd day.

When we went to check in, the guy at reception asked us if we were expecting to check in that day (like they didn't know we were coming), the room we were assigned looked nothing like the photo. This was our 2nd time staying at the hotel and the decor felt tired this time. There was torn upholstery in dining room and dining seat padding was non-existent making dining seat and height to table awkward, poor lighting, no ambience, bedroom walls under aircon had mould, large patch of peeling paint on balcony ceiling, bathroom grout looked mouldy, bath was stained,, shower door didn't close properly, 4 poster iron bed creaked and twanged when you sat or moved in bed, noisy aircon. Scrambled eggs was terrible and croissant and cinnamon swirl basket was stale on the first day.
