Awesome location in the center of Colombo city, historic style building. Based very close to one of the principal thoroughfares of Colombo, hurly burly of city life and the restaurant 1860. Tropical drinks at main bar, impeccable service. No charge for wake up calls and ironing too.

My stay was WONDERFUL for more than two night next time. I loved the room; it was large with a sofa bed and a lovely bathroom. The pool was very clean and I had cold drinks in the outdoor bar. Late check-out was useful.
