    Check-in was a bit harsh and unfriendly, requested our passports twice without explaining the situation. Our initial room smelled strongly of smoke, despite all rooms being non-smoking. The second room was better, but had been heavily sprayed with air freshener before we could move in.

    The location is excellent, right next to the Dutch Hospital and Galle Face Green in walking distance. We used it as a convenient stopover to spend the afternoon and evening before heading to the airport at 11 pm. We received a room upgrade due to the issues mentioned below. The upgraded room was spacious with a good shower.

    The food was good but the menu was a bit limited.

    The staff were exceptionally helpful and friendly. I broke a bone in my ankle and they really helped me find where to go to get medical help. Also my luggage bag got damaged and the staff mended it for me for free!

    Some noise from the street below but it was pretty quiet by 11pm. Only to be expected from a city centre hotel.

    Very comfortable room and a great location for central Colombo. Easy walk from Fort train station too. The breakfast was a good buffet selection and the bar area had a wide range of Scottish inspired food and drink.

    The hotel smells funny, not sure what it is. It's not too bad to deal with for one night though.

    Absolutely love the location. We make The Steuart our default pick when we need to stop over for a night in Colombo and the fact that it's bang in the middle of the Dutch Hospital district makes it easy for us to make the most use of our time — great restaurants, events and the railway station is very close too.

    The hotel looks more modern in the images than what it really is. It was a bit pricey for what it is.

    Very central location to explore Colombo on foot.

    Shower grout bit dirty in some areas. All the food and drinks are priced "nett" When I asked what are the add on charges it seems it was about 40% extra. Don't like not knowing what the final price will be. At least you can add a quoted 10% service charge if that is what is advertised, but nett could mean anything and did so.

    Rooms are huge. All facilities like tea and coffee, refrigerator, iron and board present. Situated next to the classy restaurant area. Within walking distance to fort train station.

    Last night in Sri Lanka - Colombo
    • Leisure trip
    • Family with young children
    • Deluxe Room with Courtyard View
    • Stayed 1 night

    The room is very big and dark (even with lights). They could have made it nicer with a seating area. When we arrived I did not know if I had enough money left to pay cash as it was our last day. I asked if I could pay later so I could calculate in the room. The staff was very strict and said I had to pay immediately. Not customer-focussed/friendly. The part when you exit the elevator could use some upgrading/painting. It is close to an area with lots of restaurants and they have concerts there as well, so it can be quite noisy until late.

    It lies in the centre so easy access to various things. The restaurant has a variety of dishes and the price is not too high. In general, the staff was friendly, except the receptionist when we arrived.

    It is in an expensive neighbourhood and the pricing of The Steuart is a bit at the higher end in terms of value.

    A very central place in the middle of Fort area. Plenty of bars and restaurants in the immediate vicinity.
