    It was just a smart choice for a budget stay in Colombo with real value for money. The staff at the front desk were really helpful and made the check-in process easy. Tip, Start your day early to avoid crowded breakfast times.

    limited amenities

    Awesome stay with fantastic food

    We had a lovely time during our three nights at this amazing hotel. The staff were super friendly, especially Chef Senthil, who helped us with some local goodies! The buffet was out of this world, and we loved our Taj Club Room upgrade. Just a heads up, some amenities were limited due to recent lockdowns.

    delicious srilankan cuisine
    lack of family activities

    The rooms were spacious and had stunning ocean views, making our family stay enjoyable. We especially loved the delicious Srilankan vegetarian dishes at the coffee shop, which were a hit with my teenagers.

    My kids wished there were more activities specifically for families.

    large pool
    fantastic meal
    language barrier

    Had an amazing time with my friends at a lovely property! The pool was great, and we enjoyed a fantastic meal at a nearby restaurant. Next time, consider the beach and the vibrant local market. Just a heads up, breakfast can get crowded and noisy, so plan ahead!

    One downside was that some staff had trouble understanding English, which made communication a bit tricky at times.
