This is a chic and modern hotel that is trying to be something that it hasn't quite yet achieved. To Westerners, Colombo is a very foreign and crazy place, so this hotel looks appealing because it is modern and offers some nice features. The airport pickup from CMB was there when we arrived and was nice, which we appreciated. The hotel staff upon arrival were friendly and got us into our attic suite. The room was big and the kind bed comfortable. The lighting in the room was poor at night. We had to leave for the airport at 5am for an early transfer to the Maldives, and when we woke up at 4am there was no hot water. I called down to the front and the gentleman there said he would look into it. I never heard back from him and the water never got warm or hot -- it was cold. This, of course, makes for a bad start. They provide a hair dryer, but it only worked in one outlet in the middle of the room (not the bathroom), and the plug was very loose and kept coming out. Bear in mind, we were in one of their two highest and most expensive rooms. They were supposed to have breakfast boxes ready for us when we left, which did not happen. There is no elevator, and the attic suites are on the third floor. We had to carry our own luggage down ourselves, which we can do but a hotel like the one that Pledge3 is trying to be would have offered to do this for us. It may be the best local option in Negombo, but it has a long way to go to be what they want it to be. Disappointed.
