Our romantic escape was made even better thanks to the friendly and helpful staff. We particularly liked the delicious breakfast and the cozy rooftop. the location of the hotel was also perfect for exploring the area and experiencing the nightlife. Plus, the ice cream provided on hot days was a nice touch.
Our room was not up to our standards. We had trouble with the locker and had to go down to reception to store our bags.

This hotel is situated on a vibrant alley which makes for easy access to the bustling Galle Face area. the room was fantastic - it had a beautiful view and was cleaned daily, plus the friendly staff would go above and beyond to make sure guests' needs were met. the breakfast was superb with a generous spread of local and Western dishes to choose from. This hotel features a relaxing pool and a modern gym perfect for business travelers or fitness enthusiasts.
Some of the facilities looked outdated.
