Our room was huge but unwelcoming. Very little furniture and poorly decorated. There was constant noise all night from the docks making sleep nearly impossible. I would not recommend the hotel to anyone and would encourage travellers to go elsewhere.

We took lunch here as part of a large group tour. The food was buffet style and satisfactory. In the dining room overlooking the harbour you get a feel for the grandeur of the place, which has largely faded. Nonetheless an enjoyable visit.

We stayed for two nights in a large spacious room (seemed to be an upgrade). We didn’t spend much time in the rooms but we enjoyed the cool air-con and large, firm beds in the evening. We enjoyed the atmosphere of the old colonial charm. While we didn’t eat in the restaurant, we ate at the cafe at the front door which was good for a quick bite. Staff were very attentive.

Lovely, if you like old world charm, heavy mahogany furniture, canopied bed, would have been the place to stay a century ago. Breakfast was in the dining room overlooking Colombo Harbour, quite spectacular, a nice way to end our Sri Lankan tour

Spent a night there before catching train to Kandy. It was built in 1837 and is absolutely beautiful and kept true to its heritage. The room was clean with a wonderful 4 poster bed and canopy. The bathroom was clean but very small. The Harbour restaurant on the 4th floor is amazing. The view wonderful and the dinner buffet plentiful and delicious. Price was very reasonable.
