The dowager
The grand old ambience .
Cons Run down in some areas , windows faulty difficult to open and close in room , didn't like the fact if I had a visitor they had to pay a 1500 lkr deposit , outrageous !! No mattress protectors on beds , unhygienic .
Needs a complete renovation
The staff were lovely and the bed was comfortable, the location was good because I wanted some where close to Colombo Fort
Cons I read other people's reviews and was expecting average but this place isn't even average, I don't understand how a once majestic building has been allowed to get so bad, even if you can't afford the maintenance at least clean properly, it's a disgrace.
Okay aber gibt es sicher bessers für den Preis
Das Hotel ist sehr zentral - das ist super. Die Betten waren bequem. Der Frühstücksraum ist schön und das Frühstück selbst ist sehr einheimisch.
Cons Leider ist das Gebäude selbst sehr in die Jahre gekommen. Unsere Fenster schlossen nicht richtig und auch der Blick aus dem Fenster war auf Ruinen und Müll. Ausserdem ist das Bad alt und etwas ekelhaft. Leider ist überdies ausserdem das Personal an der Rezeption nicht recht freundlich oder zuvorkommend.
Cons Chambre et salle de bain très sales. Hors de prix pour ce que c’est.
Highly recommend.
I loved the historical aspect of this grand old hotel. The room was lovely and located in a quiet part of town yet near all the "tourist" sites. Having a beer on the 4th floor at the end of the day was a bonus.
Cons Perfect in all ways.
It's a good value for money hotel.
Courteous staff and good facilities..
Cons Dinnner shoul have more veg options. Chek in/out time can be 2 hours earlier.
