With their curved domes, tall minarets and intricate mosaics, mosques are often some of the most exquisite buildings in a destination. Jami Ul-Alfar Mosque is a peaceful house of worship that attracts many tourists.

This Muslim temple is often on the itineraries of travelers to Pettah. But Jami Ul-Alfar Mosque isn't the only drawcard here. Colombo City Centre, Galle Face Green, and Galle Face Beach are some other worthwhile sights close by.

Rooms are well done but lobby and other spaces look a bit tired. Checkin staff were great but the others seemed a bit grouchy.

Standard room beds are too small so needed an upgrade. Lovely staff. Restaurant a little chaotic and A la Carte was no different to buffet

Wonderful unique experience with excellent staff and attention to detail. Fabulous lantern lit dinner. Kid’s thoroughly enjoyed the afternoon safari. Comfortable air-conditioned rooms in the trees. I wish we could have stayed longer.
