This is the best hotel stay of my life. The staff at this hotel is great, warm, lovely and attentive people and really make you feel special and at home.Rooms are nice and spacious, you have a little table outside your room with view to the pool where you can take your lunch or drinks or dinner if you so wish. The hotel is gorgeous and well decorated with a lovely sitting room, outdoor space and pool. Dinner can be stepped up a notch, but they have great club sandwiches for lunch.
The neighbourhood is not touristy and you are outside of the main attractions, however the street has some nice surprises one which is Kopi Kadé which has amazing coffee and desserts (which is rare in Sri Lanka). Other than that the TV has lots of TV channels and if you love bollywood music videos or cricket (the hotel is owned by a retired professional cricket player) you will have hours of fun watching TV. If you are staying in Colombo, stay here!!!
