This was an amazing stop. We stayed on the 34th floor. View was amazing you can see lotus tower from the balcony. The swimming pool is great. They have an air conditioned room to sit in while the kids swim and a play area by the pool. kFC and Pizza Hut very close 3 supermarkets within walking distance they also have options to eat in them. There are some nice Sri Lankan food places near by as well. We had a two bedroom apartment there were 3 air conditioned units in it one in each bed room all worked well. One shower has good pressure the water was not hot hot but was ok. It is very clean and tidy. The agent is awesome sent details through prior to arrival and was available via what’s app if we had any questions That it does need is pool towels there are not any only white towels at the pool is difficult. They have washing machine so you can wash them and a drying rack on the balcony. What would have been nice would have been instructions on how to use the TV we just didn’t watch it and was not a big deal we could have asked if we wanted to.

We booked this hotel super last minute for our last night in Sri Lanka before leaving the next day. Found it on googlemaps when looking around the area as I had an appointment nearby the next morning. The place is new, all new finishings, smells new, modern, room was really amazing it exceeded our expectations and would definitely go back if back in Colombo. Friendly and helpful staff although we spent less than 24hrs there. Cool rooftop with pool !

Despite its unassuming appearance, this hotel in Colombo boasts a conveniently central location, providing all essential amenities for a brief stay in town. The staff is exceptional, and the WiFi quality is commendable. While it lacks scenic views, it's an ideal budget-friendly choice for practical travelers.

Great spot! Lovely building in a good location (walking distance to a supermarket and a good base to explore Colombo by foot or cheap tuktuk). Very clean room and ensuite bathroom. Lovely rooftop with nice view. Use of the washing machine, kettle, fridge. Our host was welcoming, delightfully kind and so very helpful. You get a lot for a small price at this place. Highly recommended!

Lovely modern hotel overlooking the sea. Pool on the 9th floor small but very nice and cold beers went down well. Rooms were spacious, comfortable, well equipped, very clean and great bathroom. We loved the location - few cheap and cheerful street food/chea fun eating places and shops nearby and the lovely Barefoot cafe and shop round the corner. But very easy access to the centre of the city, Galle Face, markets, train station via tuk tuk for very little money.
