Miinukset: -

Plussat: The food was excellent. The staff attitude exceptional. The smiles and help was free flowing. Kudos.

Miinukset: There were times waiting to be served was a little too long.

Plussat: Palvelu

Miinukset: Ruokapaikat sulkeutui liian sikaisin

Plussat: This is a beautiful hotel in a lovely location overlooking Galle face green. The quality of the hotel is exceptional for the price, with gorgeous amenities and facilities. The staff are friendly and attentive. The pool is incredible.

Plussat: everyyyything was PERFECT

Plussat: Great location and view and very courteous and friendly staff

Miinukset: The fact that i paid for breakfast with my room. When we ordered room service,they said we had to pay for it. Eventually on checking out,when we had to meet our driver,they said we didnt have to pay!. At that time we didnt have enough time to eat!!!

Plussat: The staff at the horizon club was excellent , they went out of their way to make us comfortable

Plussat: Everything amazing staff. Friendly helpful kind. Spoke to you in English. All staff very energetic and looks like they enjoy their job. Special place

Miinukset: Better place for the mirror in the room. Or maybe a second mirror

Plussat: Staff were super friendly and efficient.

Miinukset: This Hotel is super tired. On arrival, were were greeted by very friendly staff and showed to our room. The room reeked of Damp which was extremely off putting and made us feel somewhat nauseous. We complained and were met with an apology - whoopee. The building in general is in a mediocre state of repair. Windows were filthy, paintwork on exterior was overdue a paint and generally very tired throughout.

Plussat: The overall layout of this villa gem and national history was immediately creating a warm cozy welcome mood. Strong impression of outstanding privacy experience in a super elegant atmosphere. Great decor scheme. Royal Suite was a brilliant home after 5 minutes being inside.

Miinukset: less impeccable feeling in restaurant garden. The floor was covered with unremoved leaves. White umbrellas on the garden need attention with regard to dust and and a not nice dirty impression.

Plussat: An amazing boutique hotel in a great part of Colombo, so much better than the major hotels. Great breakfast and accommodating staff. Love the history of the building.

Miinukset: There is little to not like about this place, however what would make it superb would be a better pool area to relax and get away from the Colombo heat after a day sight seeing.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Life is good at the Paradise Road hotel! Do not hesitate and stay in this stylish and comfortabel hotel. Location, interior design, staff, service and breakfast, it was all great. I will stay here again and again!

Plussat: The staff were great, I liked the style of the hotel with all the artwork everywhere, and the bed was very comfortable. Breakfast was fresh and delicious.

Miinukset: The bedspread on my bed had several stains on it, was quite disgusting really. The room was also a bit damp despite the airconditioner, although they probably can't do anything about that. The bar was for smokers, which was a bit disappointing for the non-smokers.

Plussat: Such a beautiful property. Really enjoyed the stay.

Plussat: Special thanks to Malinda at Nuga Gama Restaurant who provided excellent customer service and overall service is very good. Very good hoppers, jaggery hoppers and ambarella drink is a must try. Very convenient location.

Miinukset: I really hope that your management will take immediate measures to vaccinate cats around the restaurant or remove them from the area , as you have know idea what I went through due to cat incident. I am so disappointed and surprised how ignorant you are in relation to this.

Plussat: Perfection in total.

Plussat: We had a free upgrade of our room. Staff was excellent. Breakfast amazing.

Plussat: Friendliness and helpfulness of staff

Miinukset: No outlet in bathroom or area where there was mirror where hair styling implement could be plugged in.

Plussat: Strongly recommend having cats in the premises vaccinated as this is a serious health and safety concern for hotel guests

Plussat: location & breakfast & buffet lunch was very nice & reasonable...

Miinukset: cleanliness in bathroom + there is no near by plug in near the bed for chargers

Plussat: Excellent rooms and food

Miinukset: Good and convenient for business as well as family person

Plussat: I loved the Buffet Breakfast. It has everything to cheer your taste buds. Loved the Egg Hoppers, King Coconut Water, Apple Celery juice, Kola Kenda Herbal soup with jaggery and many more. The location of this hotel is very near to my work place. The Hotel staff is excellent and very supportive. Till now I stayed twice in this Hotel (Aug and Oct 2019) and loved my stay every time.

Miinukset: Not applicable

Miinukset: Staffs behavior was not that good

Plussat: It is a 6☆ hotel Everything was good at this hotel Breakfast Pool Feiendly Staff Nice big room Location A good place to relax

Plussat: The staff was super nice! The gym is very well equiped, the pool is great! Lots of choices to dine. Confortable beds.

Miinukset: Rooms are average; a little worn. Our room smelled a lot like cigarettes altough it was a non smoking room. Most restaurants inside have a dress code and won't allow you in in shorts or flip flops, which I find a little old fashioned, specially in the premisses of a hotel and by the pool.

Plussat: All..excellent service in all areas except pool bar and staff

Miinukset: Pool staff were not aware of the clientele. Had to got the bar 3 times to get their attention. Lack of communication skills and presentation skills. Definite language barrier

Plussat: The staff were extremely helpful and welcoming. Excellent choice of breakfast. The bed extremely comfortable. An excellent hitel

Miinukset: THE RESTORATION OF THE HOTEL going on around you

Plussat: Rooms were comfortable, great showers, good beds

Miinukset: They have a blaring disco at the pool until 11.30pm, the drum beats shaking the rooms at the North side of the hotel, affecting 50% of the hotel. They should either give a discount for those rooms or warn people. It's a strange business choice, as the DJ plays for 10-20 people at most, who don't seem to care about the music anyway, while a multitude of clients is adversely by it. I would certainly not recommend this hotel for this very reason. Staff also did not follow up on their promise to give me another room the next morning for my second night.

Plussat: This was a perfect hotel in a great location. We traveled all over Sri Lanka and found this hotel to meet or exceed every expectation. The room was perfect, the pool area was pure luxury and the restaurant choices were excellent. I would stay there again.

Miinukset: The only "quirk" was that the elevators were not air conditioned. But they were fast, so we didn't have to be in them very long!

Plussat: The cleanliness and the location house keeping staff is good

Miinukset: Food is not up to satisfaction.

Plussat: Great

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Very friendly, polite and professional staff.

Plussat: Location

Miinukset: Breakfast, especially Indian dishes.

Plussat: 1. The staff were helpful and friendly. 2. My room was lovely with a balcony facing the sea. 3. The breakfast was nice with very good Hoppers and tasty Sri Lankan dishes.

Miinukset: 1. On Saturday 2nd November, the water from the taps was brown in colour. I did not have a shower and could not use the tap water to rinse my mouth after brushing my teeth. 2. Although my room was facing the sea, it was also facing the music club. The band was playing loud music until after midnight and I could not sleep until the music stopped.

Plussat: Beautiful ocean view. Plenty of places to eat & drink. When too hot and just want to relax lots of places inside hotel to sit.

Miinukset: I didn't like that the hotel charged me twice for the room, first time went check in and second time at ckeck out.

Plussat: Patina

Miinukset: Very little

Plussat: The location was brilliant and the view from our balcony was amazing. We upgraded our room to a bigger one which was spacious and the bathroom was excellent. We had two double beds as there wasn't a king bed available.

Miinukset: There was a wedding during the week so unfortunately a number of facilities weren't available which was very frustrating. One of the restaurants has been closed down but we only found out when we arrived which limited the options in the hotel. Some of the exterior features need to be touched up.

Plussat: If you like "old world charm" this is the place. A genuine unique old building with character and trained attentive staff!

Miinukset: Price! But that applies everywhere!!!!!!

Plussat: The bed was comfortable, the buffet breakfast spread was excellent

Miinukset: Nothing as such

Plussat: Kind staffs, and their efforts to keeping the facility affordable condition.

Miinukset: Sometimes it seems oldie but it might be better to keep your service with best regards to the customers

Plussat: Comfortable bed, good shower, sufficient space to unpack all personal effects, plenty of variety at breakfast, great support from all staff in all areas. Good dining options for both inside and outside, great pool, good security.

Plussat: Good breakfast. Friendly staff. Great lobby and restaurants Room clean but needs to be refurbished.

Miinukset: Parking not available in most occasions. Rooms definitely need to be refurbished. Hallway outside the room has a unpleasant smell. Bathroom exhaust fan does not work right. Mirror gets fogged after shower. No power outlet in bathroom. Bad lighting in room.

Plussat: everything. this hotel is something I would call home. perfect bedroom, huge variety selection of breakfast. nice ambience of the lounge. the staff were really friendly.

Plussat: Excellent staff and the food was awesome. Lobby band “Miracle” is the best in town. Love Colombo Hilton.

Plussat: Clean, comfortable, great amenities and very friendly and helpful staff. The gym was well equipped and had thoughtful touches such as complementary sugar and salt drinks. The club rooms are worth paying for, and provide access to the Club Lounge with superb views of the Indian Ocean and very attentive staff. A big shout out to the housekeeping staff who provided some light moments and clearly enjoy what they do.

Miinukset: The hotel itself is a little isolated in terms of outside bars, restaurants and activities, but getting to those locations is easy enough with taxis that are plentiful and cheap.

Miinukset: Excellent staff and great food. Morin at the Buffet section was really helpful and made sure everytime that we were comfortable

Plussat: Staff were very attentive

Miinukset: No problems

Plussat: City View Room

Plussat: Big but intimate , good facilities

Plussat: Central location facing the beach.

Miinukset: No real spa or massage services at the hotel

Plussat: Location

Miinukset: Some of the floors are not renovated

Plussat: Gorgeous property, very well located. Large, yet staff are very warm and personal.

Miinukset: The rooms, though comfortable, need sprucing up as they are slightly behind the times - and need to keep pace with the modern hotels that have or are coming up in Colombo.

Plussat: Grounds, public spaces & meeting rooms are lovely-5*. Large breakfast buffet with juice bar. Six bottles of water in my room in arrival (thoughtful) but they weren't replenished. Many wedding parties use lobby & grounds for photos-beautiful to see.

Miinukset: My room was in the older (not refurbished) wing and it showed. Water would not turn off completely in shower, closet doors were hard to slide & did not close completely. Safe was locked open & no one showed up to fix it after I called (but it was done by 3rd day). The room next to mine was under construction or being used by staff & there was a lot of banging one night after midnight. Also, several conference attendees had stomach issues from food they ate there.

Plussat: Great food

Miinukset: Expensive

Plussat: perfect location

Miinukset: security checks were not properly arranged

Plussat: Great hotel, exceeded my expectationd in every way. Would defintely stay here again.

Plussat: Siistit, suuret huoneet. Upea allasalue ja kattobaari, monipuolinen aamiainen.

Plussat: Friendly staff, clean and comfortable room! Great breakfast range, minus mushrooms for the veggies! Nice view from 22nd floor!

Plussat: Good city hotel. Good food and the rooms were very comfortable.

Miinukset: There was an issue with hot water. The hot water literally burns your skin and there is no adjustments. Either you shower burning hot water or cold water.

Plussat: Breakfast was good. Service was also good. Location was great.

Miinukset: The bathroom was not private enough. I was sharing the room with my son. Couldn’t lock the bathroom door and the glass was opaque, but not sound proof

Plussat: Hinta laatusuhde vertaansa vailla! Henkilökunta sydämellistä ja ihanaa ❤️

Miinukset: Sri Lankan viemäriverkoston hajulle tuskin missään paikassa mahtaa mitään, siihen tottui äkkiä!

Plussat: Huoneet olivat siistit ja siivous toimi loistavasti aina pyydettäessä. Hotellin sijainti oli lähellä kaikkea tarpeellista.

Plussat: The hotel's design and amenities are what you'd expect from a boutique chain, and the majority of the staff are welcoming, attentive, and respectful. The rooms are excellent; clean, well-appointed, and tech enabled. The food options in the hotel are a good value, and the gym, pool, and rooftop bar provide ample opportunity to unwind.

Miinukset: Though I didn't experience it personally, several members of my party (along with many, many, many guests) had their room keycards malfunction throughout the stay. These keycards control access to your floor as well as your room, and are required to enable power in your room for lights, outlets, etc. The hotel itself is very, very small, so if you go to the restaurant, or the lobby, or the rooftop bar, or the pool, or the gym, at the wrong time, you'll be waiting or will be out of luck. The elevators say they hold 11 people max, but barely fit five people comfortably. All these quibbles are minor when considering the price you pay for the clean, excellent rooms and service.

Plussat: The rooms are clean and of adequate size. The bed was comfortable and the staff was very friendly and efficient, I have no complaints.

Plussat: Ambience

Plussat: Huone 14.kerroksessa oli iso ja viihtyisä. Sänky oli erityisen mukava. Huoneesta oli huikeat näkymät Colombon keskustaan. Hotellin uima-allas (26.kerroksessa) oli mukavan iso ja ihana viilennys kaupungilla kävelyn jälkeen. Myös 26.kerroksessa sijaitsevasta baarista oli hienot näkymät ja siellä oli paljon asiakkaita nauttimassa lämpimästä illasta.

Miinukset: Hotelli oli erinomainen, mutta kannattaa varautua kulkemaan tuk-tukilla kaikkialle. Jalankulku ei ole kaupungissa kovinkaan helppoa.

Plussat: Aamupala oli todella hyväja samoin allas 26.kerroksessa. Myös sänky oli erittäin ihana.

Plussat: Staff were super nice and helpful. Locale was good. Close to shopping and restaurants. Safe area.

Miinukset: Nothing to dislike. Could have had tea, coffee facilities in the room, but otherwise all good.

Plussat: Great location right next to Dutch Hospital. Comfortable place and the staff are super friendly and helpful! Good breakfast with a cool view! Air conditioning is great and the bunks are very comfortable with lockable capabilities!!

Plussat: Good, comfortable, value for money stay

Miinukset: Nothing to highlight

Plussat: Mukava henkilökunta. Siistit suihkut/vessat. Aamupalan hedelmät ja munakas plussaa!

Plussat: Easy organisation of transport from airport great breakfast comfortable beds

Miinukset: nothing

Plussat: The hotel is centrally located. It is clean and the service is exceptional. A perfect value for money.

Miinukset: All perfect!

Plussat: Erinomainen hotelli keskeisellä sijainnilla vanhan kaupungin ytimessä. Henkilökunta avuliasta ja puhuvat hyvää englantia.

Miinukset: Aamupala olisi voinut toki olla kattavampi, paahtoleipää ja hedelmiä. Lähialueen palvelut menee aikasin kiinni.

Plussat: The location, the staff and the breakfast was excellent!

Plussat: From arriving outside C1 Fort in my tuk tuk, they rushed to open the door and welcome me. Personal check in was fabulous and welcome. It's always drama just to get there and arrive. Reception were thoughtful, helpful and efficient. From the street, C1 Fort looks like a Vogue Living shoot. Simply stunning. So proud to be staying there. Reception helped me with movie, dinner plans, booking Uber, were thoughtful and personal on my return and with my onward plans. Don't underestimate the thoughtfulness and comfort of the accommodation arrangements. Even for a booking as functional as an overnight 4 bed mixed dorm, the physical arrangements were outstanding. Every bunk had its own international power plug and bedside light. The air cind us fabulous. Lockers are there fir gear security. It's easy to be in your top bunk and feel private. Bathrooms are gorgeous! Thank God they're gender degregated. No longer a given. Private floor kitchens are Fabius and perfect. Thank you C1 Fort. In the early morning, I was blown away by breakfast on the 4th floor rooftop terrace. What a setting! I has an early train and was grateful Jef Sherif and the team jumped in made me an omelette and allowed me to start breakfast a little early. Appreciated them helping me by catering to my needs. I've never stayed in a better backpackers accommodation anywhere in the world. C1 Fort is the new GOLD standard for backpackers. Thank you C1 Fort. I Will be back in a week.

Plussat: owners of hostel friendly, only one staying in 8 bunk room

Miinukset: no hot water in shower or handbasin, no towels provided, locked out behind locked front gate in pouring rain at night, outside shower and toilet with no light to find the way, 10 minutes walk to beach then another 10 minutes walk to the patrolled section of beach

Plussat: Comfortable room, nice people make breakfast for us at 6 am. We enjoy staying here.

Plussat: Location of the place. Hospitality of the owner.

Plussat: The host was super friendly, interior of the house was excellent. It was a 10/10 stay

Miinukset: “Very friendly and welcoming family. Perfect if you like to be somewhere quiet.”

Plussat: Breakfast was exceptional (nice service and super good smoothies). Suresh was a perfect host, welcoming, helpful and yet discreet. Rooms are big and clean, bathrooms tidy, the neighbourhood nice and calm, we absolutely recommend.

Miinukset: The location is a little off center.

Plussat: The guest house is not central so it is not easy to move around

Plussat: The owner was very friendly and helpful. He arranged tuk-tuks, transport from the airport and even booked a train ticket for us. The breakfasts were also great.

Miinukset: I felt quite isolated staying there because access to the property is from a series of narrow alleyways. If there had been other guests staying there at the same time, it might have felt less remote.

Plussat: Nice place with friendly staff

Miinukset: A bit far from the railway station though

Plussat: After we got picked up at the airport we were welcomed in the hotel. Our room was big, clean and comfortable. Air conditioning was a big plus. We were asked what we want to have for breakfast, we decided for local breakfast and it was really good! They helped us getting a tuktuk or a taxi to go where we want to. They are friendly and trustworthy people.

Plussat: The owner is so friendly man and he lit me watching the TV and used the fridge to make my beer cold

Miinukset: I like all

Plussat: Friendly staff, very clean room, good wifi

Plussat: Very comfortable with stay

Plussat: Suresh was a wonderful host. He and his wife were so welcoming and helped us a lot with getting around and finding food what was a bit difficult due to the political circumstances. Even though the country is having tough times Suresh and his wife had always a smile on their faces and tried their best to comfort us. The food they served was super delicious. Especially the dosa and the coconut chutney *yum*! My bf could even watch the friendly lady cooking early in the morning and he could wrote down some recipes as a souvenir for home ;-) The room was spacious and really clean. The whole house is very pretty and is of a high Sri-Lankern standard. I loved the partio with the fishies :-) The internet was also 100% working - what was a crucial criteria for us. So don’t think twice and make a booking for this beautiful homestay!

Miinukset: All good! We were really happy! The location is a bit out of Colombo but with the local busses or a Tuk Tuk you can get around easily. Due to the attacks we felt even a bit better not staying in the center....

Plussat: Manager/owner was very friendly.

Miinukset: The breakfast was a bit expensive ....
