We stayed one night as part of a cross country journey. The hotel had a very friendly vibe, nice staff, cosy interior. The rooms were clean but average, your money's worth basically. We didn't eat in the restaurant except from a nice breakfast included in the stay. We did however have a drink before dinner in the sofa area next... More

It's a very good hotel... With lost of English memories. Decent rooms... Food I haven't tried... But the hospitality given by Norman the general manager of the hotel was awesome... He made us feel homely... The nature look around the hotel is also good.... Especially the garden of the hotel which we were told that has won 1st prize for... More

I really liked this hotel for what it is - an old-style colonial guesthouse with a real British feel, a lot of old artifacts and it was really charming. Lovely garden as well, and location was nice close to the Grand hotel and the Hill Club. Service was also good, the management was nice and service minded. I don't feel... More

Large bedrooms with nice aspect to garden. Gardens lovely especially for sitting in and having tea/coffee. Cosy indoor seating areas and bar. Staff extremely helpful- they arranged doctor's visit and a packed breakfast for a 5am start. Good pool room but why do all hotels charge for this? Food adequate; we wouldn't recommend the Chinese restaurant.

We dropped by for lunch in the main (Chinese) restaurant. We ordered some sandwiches (egg sandwich and chicken sandwich) and some chicken nuggets with fries for our 4-year-old daughter. After 30 minutes, they brought one sandwich, soon followed by the other. Both were not very good. After a few more minutes we asked when the order for our daughter would... More

Chose this hotel because it is very central. Colonial building stuffed with antiques. Very pretty, beautifully maintained garden. Rooms were spacious with comfortable beds, satellite TV and efficient hot showers but bring a plug if you want a bath. Friendly, helpful staff.

The hotel interior is super grand and bears witness to a golden era in Ceylon history. probably one of the oldest hotels in the city. The architcture and specially its interior prepped with majestic leather sofas, Gramophone, grnadfather's clock and even a mini hearth takes you back to the victorian era. The Bar is quite a spectacle of its own... More
