Every room has Sea view - this view is way better than some of the expensive hotels on Marine Drive. Reasonably priced hotel with sea view worth waking up to. Clean and decent sized rooms with functional bathroom. Friendly staff who go the extra mile to offer great service. Lots of food options within walking distance. Very convenient location.

Not worth for.

Great difference in Photographs and actual conditions of the room. Location is good but property needs renovation. Breakfast was very limited spread and not at all good.

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities
while I was checking in front desk staff specifically one girl was very rude, I might never being rude with my guest like that while working. Then there room floor was not that clean also the window glass. I booked sea view room due to the blurr window i couldn’t enjoy the view that much. AC was not working on the night. We called on the front desk told them the problem but they didn’t respond. On the breakfast there is a old guy working he was literally racist.. He asked me 3/4 times that which room I am staying in and do I know breakfast is not included with our stay. on the other hand he was literally licking another white guest was there. I never expected this kind of behaviour. The Ocean colombo hotel stay was worst part of my trip on sri lanka.

酒店设施都是不错的，窗外就是海边小火车和一望无际的大海，真的很漂亮 我想提的意见就是，10美金/人的早餐真的有些差强人意，没有咖啡，只有咖啡粉直接冲，这个真的不好。饭菜种类也可以再提高一下 最后希望酒店有一点可以有个游泳池
