A beautiful traditional hotel in a prime situation
This is a beautiful traditional hotel with lots of memorabilia from famous people who have stayed there. It is spacious and comfortable with many choices of restaurants serving a variety of foods. The only downside is in wet weather many outdoor tables/seating aren’t usable. We particularly enjoyed the high tea and watching the criminal lowering of the flag at dusk. All staff members are courteous and friendly.

Faded but fun old grand dame. Worth a one-night st
It was fun to stay in this elegant grande dame once but I wouldn’t do it again. Our room was fine, but has definitely seen better days. The food was mediocre, and service at both the bar and dinner super slow. Staff all perfectly friendly.

Holiday
Extended trip at end of Sri Lanka tour. Hotel staff friendly and professional. Excellent buffet breakfast, high tea and dinner. Pool area is a bit public. Renovations happening at time of visit. Outside hotel Lots of Tuk Tuk drivers and men impersonating themselves to be locals giving advise dressed smartly, one man told us he was an engineer which we doubt very much trying to get us on a Gems Tuk Tuk tour. Need to walk near beach if don't want to be annoyed put us off spending more time walking around the city. Not the hotels fault they keep people off the premises. The hotel is located in the tourist area so off course you are targeted.Never felt in danger the touts and drivers were not aggressive.

Initially disappointed but happy later on
The initial room we were given was terrible, you could hear the people next door breathing through the adjoining room, not great when you arrive at 5am and want to sleep. I asked to change room and was told none were available, so i contacted hotels.com customer service through the chat, and 10 mins later a room was available and the room was great. I think the hotel needs to be clearer in their type if rooms and could have sorted it out earlier. But from the everything was great.
