    There was a foul smell in corridors and outside room sometimes. Food prices in their restaurant downstairs is expensive compared to what you can get in restaurants in surrounding areas inside dutch hospital. Would be great if the window can be opened but they are sealed shut.

    The room is big, spacious and clean. Bathroom is the same. Kept clean. The location is prime. Overall good value for what we paid.

    The noise because of live music on the bar nearby...but we stayed on a friday night...that is part of.the charm of this location

    the central location, the general scotish ambiance of the bar and the room. We also appreciated the fact the bed for our son was ready (not always the case)

    the window that is mentioned in the description is not the window such as European or Russia style. it’s just a small hole that better not to be opened :) but it’s not a minus it’s just a nuance

    location is really nice just exactly in the city centre. close to train station and the market. pretty close from the bus stop to the airport. and in the lobby nice pub, so pity they don’t have cider there

    Hotel has a bar that makes it less appropriate for family with children.

    There was very loud live music played in the bar area of the hotel until midnight the night we arrived. Very clearly audible from our room - several floor above! After a 9 hour flight this really wasn’t the most comfortable and relaxing welcome to Sri Lanka..

    Very well located for the Fort area in Colombo and close to the Dutch Hospital area of the city with its restaurants, shops and bars. The rooms are spacious and well equipped and the hotel is a very good value for money.

    Booked a room with a City View but it was limited as the widows were obviously defective as they were scewed shut, fortunately no emergency occurred requiring us to exit through them. The Staff were cheerful and curtious but the Bar Staff wereeither strained or just slow ?? and although they made it clear to make the most of the offers in the restaurant and bar,, particularly at Happy Hour, it was not clear to which brands were part of the offer?

    In the heart of Colombo The Steuart is very well located. The Staff were curtious and friendly and attended to any requirements requested.The breakfast cated for most needs (poached eggs particularly good) and the Hotel had a relaxed 'Vibe' about it, created by the Staff. Worth of a particular mention was 'Raja' a charming Gentleman at the 'Front of House' always ready to be most helpful.

    I have stayed in the Steuart several times before without issues. Unfortunately on this occasion we were let down, with no twin beds as ordered, no loo roll and only one damp towel provided for two persons. Be aware that the 'courtyard view' rooms in effect have no windows or view.

    The location in Dutch Hospital is excellent. The hotel bar is very popular.

    the room was a bit dark and the lighting not good, we had a feeling that AC “thermostat” was not working, the bottled water was for a multiple use and therefore we could not fully trust to drink it (it could be tap water), the room had many unfinished/old parts that you can’t see in the photo, the window was dirty, view to the buildings.

    The staff was very helpful and nice, the room was huge, the running water gad good pressure and was hot (sometimes is an issue in the other places), the location was good, breakfast was very varied and delicious

    So we had an issue with towels not being kept in the washroom and when we asked for it they gave us 1 towel. When we checked back again, the person on the reception had a very lame answer that apparently the room is supposed to be for 1 guest so we gave 1 towel. The housekeeping guy later told us that they had miscounted and given more towels in other rooms leading to shortage, towels are a very basic requirement in a hotel which we should not need to ask and we can still be understanding if you are being honest rather than give lame answers. The issue was sorted though and we were given new towel the next morning. However, it will be good to train the staff on how to answer in the sticky situations.

    1. Superb location 2. In general courteous staff 3. Excellent breakfast spread and in general the food and cocktails were very tasty when we had dinner there 4. The room was spacious with all the amenities
