Great 3 nights stay here before we left Colombo. Rooms are bit smaller but very clean and comfortable. There is no parking in front so getting in and out of taxis is bit challenging. Staff were very friendly during our stay. Will come again 😊

"This property offered value for money - it was cheap. In its heyday, it must have been a very nice hotel but maintenance has fallen behind over the years.
