This is a nice hotel, conveniently located for Colombo. It has a good beachside location, although there isn't much beach to speak of at this time (although this will change throughout the year, of course). The restaurant has a lovely aspect, looking out on to well-kept grounds and, beyond them, the sea. Breakfast was nice with a very wide range of choices, both local and Western. The room was clean and the food we ordered through room service was yummy. By far the best thing about this hotel was the friendliness and helpfulness of the staff, who could not have done more to make our stay a comfortable and enjoyable one. I would certainly recommend this hotel and would stay here again if I needed to stay in the same location.
