As a heritage hotel, it was cleaner and more modern inside than expected. The location was great, right next to the beach and also one Galle face mall.

The hotel is on a nice location and victorian style heritage hotel. But it is dated and needs a major renovation. Rooms and facilities are tired. Good breakfast. Friendly staff.

A hotel with history: pompous, lots of wood in the interior. Delicious breakfasts. There is a buffet for dinner at a price of 6000 rupees. Some rooms with a balcony, very beautiful sunsets. There is a fairly large new shopping center nearby. The history of the hotel is both pros and cons: wooden floors creak a lot. Uncomfortable furniture, a bathtub like a monument in the middle of the room. Noisy air conditioning. And if the dates fall on Friday-Saturday, the hotel will celebrate birthdays and weddings. It will be very, very loud.

I stayed here for one night at the end of my trip. It had a colonial historical atmosphere and a good location, which was wonderful. The facilities were old, but the room was bright, clean and comfortable. I had a wonderful time. I would like to stay here again when I visit Colombo.

The room is too old. The location is perfect. One end is on the sea, but the other end is too close to the road and is noisy! But the restaurant and scenery are great
