The location is great, walking distance from the Colombo fort train station. The room was spacious, with A/C, a TV, big bathroom and a safe. All that one needs.

We arrived early 10:30 am and although the room was ready, the receptionist wanted us to pay 50% of the price room just to get early checkin. I found this very rude especially that we get checked in early everywhere if the room is ready. He gave us the room eventually with no charge when he learned that we will not stay overnight and we are checking out same day at midnight.

I don't understand some of the low scores because there's nothing wrong with this hotel. No, it's not like the cozy Guesthouses you find elsewhere in the country, but it's a spotless clean typical big city basic budget hotel like the ones you find elsewhere in the world. Basic, big enough room with a bed and a desk. Lots of power outlets to charge all your gadgets. The common bathrooms were kept clean at all times, and there were so many of them on each floor. A nice common room with tables and chairs, free tea and coffee, a nice rooftop sitting area, and excellent WiFi (to be Sri Lanka anyway). Friendly staff too. Superb location right in the thick of things in the Fort. Restaurants and bars literally on their doorstep.

It was nothing I didn't like

Great location. Very convenient to the Railway Station, Bus Stand, and other tourist places in Colombo. Close to Galle Face for dining. Facility is neat and clean and well maintained. The room is slightly small in size but neat and clean. The Restroom/bathroom was clean with nice hot water shower and hygiene facilities. Staff is very nice, kind and friendly personal with always big smile. Easy check-in and check-out process with the acceptance of credit card for payment. The room comes with Coffee/Tea kettle, drinking water bottle, small fridge and locker that an added benefit. Good Aircon. Great value for money.

Room is slightly small in size.

The location is perfect for a stop gap stay in Colombo. Very easy to get a grab from the bus station when arriving and I walked very easily to the train station the next day with my big backpack (10 minutes walk). The room was small but very comfortable with complimentary water, towels and soap! The shared bathrooms do the job. The staff were super friendly and I was able to leave my bags with them for the day after I had checked out before leaving Colombo.

When taking a shower be mindful there is no where to hand things up inside the shower cubicle. So just go in your towel and you’re all good.

I stayed here 3 nights, 1 night in a Standard Queen Room and 2 night's in a Single Room with Shared Bathroom. I would highly recommend the standard Queen room even though it was quite expensive for a solo traveler like me. The single room was ok, WiFi a bit iffy but clean and tidy the showers and WC same all in all ok. Has a traveler of a old age dorms no longer appeal in hot countries, always someone who turns off A/C because of noise or too cold.

Well worn traveler no real problems. Would be a bit noisy for some in my single room, but I carry ear plugs.

Great location in the Fort area within a 10 minute walk to Fort station and close walk to Galle Face Green and other attractions. Lots of ATMs, money exchanges and supermarkets in the area. Staff were really helpful and welcoming. The train we wanted to book was sold out at the station but they were able to help us buy tickets. Free tea and coffee was available to help yourself. Breakfast was simple but good (eggs, toast, butter, jam). Wi-Fi, AC and hot water worked well. Room was bigger than expected. Toiletries provided.

The communal areas (other than the nice reception area) were not that clean, including where the breakfast and tea/coffee was served, often with flies hanging around the tea/coffee.

Staff friendly and helpful. Rooms naturally cool so little need to use A/C. Bed sizeable and comfortable. Quiet area close to a lot of the local “sights”. Good wi-fi. Free tea/coffee and nice kitchen/lounge area.

Soundproofing non existent but thankfully other guests settled quite early and so not an issue. Never managed to get hot water in shower, not that you need really hot water in Colombo. Bit of a musty smell in some areas. Think there may be rodents in the walls as scratching sounds at times.

This hotel is at the best location, easily approachable from bus and train. Markets and many tourist attractions are nearby. I had a private room. It had a nice AC and a window to the street. All the staff was nice, friendly and helping. I would especially name Thamal who has been very cooperative and very helpful. Free coffee and tea was available 24/7. There are several nice and cheap restaurants nearby.

The room was very small and basic. Bathrooms were common and passable. There are bars and discos around. One is just across the street that was very noisy at weekend nights.

Location is fantastic, walking distance to everything - transport links, sites, lots of places to eat and some bars. The room was large, shared bathroom very clean. The breakfast was basic (bread/toast, butter, jam and eggs) but very nice and sufficient. The shared area also had a toaster, microwave and large fridge we could use, and free tea & coffee all day. Really nice area on the roof if you're a sun lover, or want to dry clothes.

There was no window in the bedroom, which we knew about, but it made the room a bit damp, airless and dark.
