“Its location puts you close to Colombo Fort and the Maradana Railway Station, a real advantage in a busy city. I appreciate the reports of spacious, clean rooms - a solid foundation for a stay. However, be aware that some guests have reported issues with staff attitude and certain policy inflexibilities.”
