Fantastic Residence Hotel in Colombo,Sri Lanka
Fantastic residence-type business hotel to stay.Very attentive, helpful and friendly receptionist (all) and breakfast staff. Room serviced daily, and there is always help available if you need it. Healthy breakfast with tropical fruits and juice ''continental breakfast''. My experience with this hotel is excellent and up to standard. I will definitely be back at this hotel someday. Thank you.

Not Worth
When I checked in to the hotel I had paid for 2 guests and I said I will be having a friend over and the manager said that they only alllw couples at the property and wanted me to show my marriage certificate and I was flabbergasted as I’ve traveled to over 30 countries and I’ve NEVER had to show my marriage certificate lol will never stay here ever again. Room was small smelled of smoke.

Mariyam, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

建物が少しわかりづらいところにあります。さらにビルの入り口にいるガードマン(？)の方にカードキーでエレベーターを操作してもらい、3F受付まで辿り着く必要があります。 ホテルの内装は清潔で、部屋も日本のビジネスホテルに近いものになっています。ただし窓が薄く道路が近いためか、夜は少し外の音が気になりました。 テラスで海を見ながらの朝食は最高でした。

The hotel is tucked away in a little alley across from Barefoot Cafe. The room is spotless, cozy, and filled with free coffee and cookies. Imran was very friendly and was able to arrange transportation to the airport.

This hotel is in an office building on Galle Road, a few hundred meters from the sea. The rooms are nice, aircon and ceiling fans are strong, hot shower, good breakfast. Plenty of restaurants in walking distance. Easy to get Uber or auto rickshaw out front. Will definitely stay again. Thanks to Imran and the staff for a great stay.

割引価格で利用しましたが値段と部屋のグレードのバランスがビジネスホテルと考えれば妥当なところでした。
Nobu, 9-night trip

8/10 Very good

部屋は非常に清潔とまでは言えませんが、同等のランクのスリランカのホテルの中ではキレイに掃除されていた方だと思います。私が宿泊した部屋は少々狭かったですが、広い部屋もありそうでした。スタッフは皆さん陽気で優しく、感じの良い人ばかりでした。バスターミナルまで行くのにトゥクトゥクを呼んでくれて、ちゃんと妥当な料金で乗せてくれる人を連れてきてくれました。スリランカのガイドブックが各国の言語のものが置いてあったり、ミネラルウォーターがたくさんもらえたり、おいしい朝食も良かったです。立地としては、ビーチが近く、さらに近くにベアフットという有名なお店があります。が、その他スパセイロンやタワー、寺院やモスク、市場などからは遠いです。もちろん、空港からも離れています。歩くことが苦痛でない、または、トゥクトゥクに乗って移動で良いという方は、写真の通りの部屋ですので、宿泊先に選ぶのも良いかと思います。

Okaish but needs improvements
The bathroom size was way too small, when sitting on the toilet your knees will touch the wall which makes it uncomfortable.
