Walking in was like stepping back to Coronation year, E2R I mean! This grand old lady looks exactly as she would have when our late Queen took possession of the Dominion. It's a beautiful time warp and so inexpensive. Huge rooms, clean, comfortable. The bathrooms are great. A lovely breakfast in the delightful top floor dining room bar looking over the port is not fancy but just what is required. The aircon works well but the water pressure in the shower a bit of a let down but hey, we cope! Ceiling fans would be nice. The public areas are just worth exploring, and it takes up a whole block! Wander the colonnades and discover old Colombo.

Air Conditioning supper cool, excellent. Staff very good & nice, room needs bit conditioning. Nearby shops are great.

Good location with plenty of attentive staff. Hotel is tired, run down and needs immediate refurbishment in all areas.

Maintenance very bad

The staff was really lovely, the breakfast was good, and the lobby looks great, but that’s where the compliments end. I wasn’t expecting a luxury hotel, and I understand a full renovation would costs millions, but my room was a mess. The furniture was ripped and scuffed, the tv was broken, only two outlets worked so I had to unplug and replug stuff all the time, the teapot was dirty and missing a lid, the toilet paper holder fell off the wall…. I could go on, but instead I’ll just suggest any future guests manage their expectations.

The hotel is well-located, the rooms enormous with very old furniture! A little rundown in places but that’s why the price is low, and I hope no-one “improves” it any time soon! Do not use the tuk-tuk drivers outside the hotel, or believe anyone who tells you “today is a special day”These people are nothing to do with the hotel. Solo women travellers especially beware

It was not an amazing experience to say that I might not stay in that hotel in my December visit most probably for two reasons: 1) Room service is not listening to requests- I asked guys to provide with just few milk sachets and I did the request to reception too. They just said ok but did not execute. 2) The bath tub is bit slippery and water was not flowing out smoothly. I told about this to room service but nobody attended for that too.

I truly enjoyed my stay here. I loved the historical significance of this hotel. I rated it exceptionally well because one must understand that the hotel is over 175 years old. Sri Lanka has to recognize the importance of preserving this historical part of town. So much potential in these golden age buildings

It’s well worth for the money

Ok for an overnight stay as we were moving on early next morning
