Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities

I am trying hard not to be negative because I want them to do well. However there were a number of mishaps and experiences that made my experience not so great. After dinner at the Chinese restaurant at the hotel, I wanted to go in to the outside patio bar to get a cocktail and listen the live music - they didn’t let me in because I was wearing my Birkenstocks. They told me that all men had to wear shoes because a lot of gangsters come in flip flops and make trouble. I was disappointed that after being a paying guest at the hotel, they didn’t have a system in place to accommodate already screened guests. I had no problem eating at he most expensive restaurants at the property wearing my sandals. Ironically, Sri Lankan national costume for men is a long sleeve shirt, sarong and flip flops or sandals. Matter of fact most prominent politicians in Sri Lanka wear flip flops! My night continued to go down as I moved to the lobby bar with my family to have night cap before calling it a night. All I wanted was a sugar shot of whiskey and not a double which I reiterated to the waiter at least twice - he kept asking me if I wanted a double. Anyway, the two of us received our single shot of Glenlivet 12 yo and enjoyed it. I asked to settle the bill and they said they didn’t have anything on record of me ordering anything but overcharged me by double the price and never apologized. Although I settled the bill in full, I felt taken advantage of.

Average Rating.

This is a decent hotel but not excellent I would say. Looks old and needs lot of attention to finer aspects of the rooms and building. Location is certainly very good if you have a lake view room. Pool is also good and large. Food is average with very less sitting space as compared to the room accommodation ( I had my B/F standing all the time ). I had to call for proper toilet kits all the time... Over all not very bad but not very good as well... to stay if you get a good price deal.

The hotel in general is excellent however they run very loud club style events in the outside restaurant until 1am to 2am and any room facing the lake is almost shaking with the noise, so if you stay and don’t want to party then ask for a room not facing the lake. Zero sleep had after a long haul flight from uk and with early train next day so felt like a very expensive sleepless night.

Great place to stay on first night in SL

Great stay here on my first night in Sri Lanka. Really clean, modern, and everything you would expect from a hotel of this quality. It's also very close to Colombo Fort station which is useful if you are going to continue the trip by train! I didn't use the pool but had a drink there and it looks great - one note was that the service was quite slow! Breakfast options were vast. Would definitely stay here again.

Liked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities

This is a large and busy hotel, quite convenient to the train station, and situated on one of Colombo's lovely lakes. It felt like a Vegas property, absent the casinos. My room was okay -- reasonably comfortable and business like. The big attraction are the numerous restaurants, shops and entertainment options. Plus, a pool that is open to 9 p.m. My favorite thing was swimming in the huge, almost entirely empty pool, under the night sky, with the giant Lotus Flower Tower all lit up overhead. I also had a great dinner at the buffet restaurant. I only stayed a night between arrival from a train in the late afternoon until an early morning flight the next day. This was a solid choice for that.

This is a fancy place, the lobby reminded me of a cruise ship. There was even live music!

The staff is friendly and accommodating, the facilities are first class and the dinner buffet is amazing.
