7 / 10Good·Mar 2026
Very good location, kind and helpful staff. You can leave our car at the hotel's parking in the basement.
Room looked old but it was spacious. Coffee set available but with no tea/coffee with it. Corridors are dark. Air conditioning works but is noisy a little bit.

Location. No restaurants near by everything was a ride away. Bit dated. No tea coffee in the room had to ask.

In terms of location, the place is located close to Maradana railway station and also the Premadasa stadium is just 20-25 minutes walk away. Also lots of transport options, bus, train, tuk-tuk (rickshaw), uber etc are available. The area is also not far from the heart of Colombo.
Not much of veg options within the hotel. For breakfast there was only toast and fruits (The restaurant staff especially Harishchandra was very helpful). Basic vegetarian options were available for lunch and dinner. It is a typical autoparts hub with shops all around dealing in spare parts so not many good restaurants close-by. Mid-range vegetarian restaurants (Indian style) are available close by (easily reachable by foot or by bus, tuk-tuk)

Huge room. Very quiet although on a busy Main Street (my room faced the back.) Very clean. Exceptionally friendly and helpful staff. Close to Maradana train station.
Only automobile supply shops…dozens of them…in the immediate vicinity. Had to walk to the other side of the Maradana station to find useful shops.
