    For the price I got a nice, clean and very comfortable hotel with all services you can ask for. The location close to the beach side is perfect. The restaurant and bar serves a varied choices of dishes and drinks and breakfast is very nice as well. The roof top pool with its view over the city and ocean is outstanding

    Breakfast was ok and wasn't included in the room price which I think it should have been now that we have had it. We had a much nicer brunch in the city on our first day. No hair dryer in the room. And we couldn't figure out how to turn off the light at the back of the bed.

    Amazing views at rooftop pool and 10th floor for sunset. Very comfortable bed for first nights in Sri Lanka after a long journey. Pool is lovely.

    We booked this hotel at the last minute, but it proved to be excellent value for money! The sea view from the reception lobby was extraordinary, and our room also had a partial sea view. Additionally, the room was clean and comfortable, while the service was attentive and flawless. The hotel location was also great, with just a short walk to the beach. In the morning, you could either enjoy watching the coastal trains pass by while having breakfast, or take a stroll to the railway tracks to take photos - both were easily accessible. We would definitely stay here again!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

    Getting a taxi could be made a little easier by concierge. When we asked for one to get to the shopping mall it was as if this was the first time anyone had asked. The concierge staff should have ride share apps and taxis down pat. Also, this is a big hotel with a lot of rooms, so it's not exactly a personable (but staff handle the busy-ness very well).

    This is an excellent hotel for the price. It is new, clean and comfortable. The rooms are a little small but they have huge windows, relatively comfy beds, a couple of nice seating options (useful if you want to have in-room dining), and all the usual amenities. I honestly wasn't expecting it to be so nice for the price paid.

The breakfast was good with many options and also the restaurant was good, we order some room service and it was very good. There is also a nice gym and the staff is very helpful.
