    delicious restaurant
    poor lighting
    inconsistent water

    The restaurant offered amazing traditional food.

    I was disappointed by the inconsistent hot water during my stay. It ruined my showers, making them uncomfortable. The lighting in the corridors was far too dim, contributing to an unwelcoming atmosphere.

    variety meals
    convenient location
    peculiar smell
    inconsistent hot water
    dim corridors

    I enjoyed the restaurant, the atmosphere created during breakfast was delightful. The breakfast buffet offered a remarkable variety, especially the live cooking stations with dosas and delicious smoked dishes. The room was spacious, making it easy to settle in. The location in Wellawatte proved to be convenient for accessing local shops and meeting family. I encountered a peculiar smell in the room, and the bathroom wasn't up to standard. The hot water system had issues, especially in the early mornings. Some areas felt a bit dim, and it would have been nice to have brighter lighting in the corridors.

    The breakfast buffet was a standout experience, offering a delightful array of options while providing a panoramic view of Galle Road from the third-floor dining hall. The ambiance in the dining area is one of the hotel’s highlights, making it a pleasant place to enjoy meals.

    The hotel exterior and corridors have a distinctly worn-out appearance, lacking proper lighting that adds to the rundown vibe. The bathroom conditions vary. one review noted lingering unpleasant odors and inconsistent hot water, which could be problematic for any traveler.

    great service but some wear and tear

    The staff were exceptionally friendly, always ready to assist us with our toddler! ! We enjoyed the spacious room that really felt like home, equipped with a wide range of TV channels, perfect for family entertainment. Dining was a highlight with a truly delightful variety of flavorful dishes that catered to all tastes. The city view from our room added to the charm.

    The hotel corridors could use some refreshing, as they felt a bit worn.
