Guest Ratings & Reviews
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were comfortable and clean, but I was disappointed by the lack of air-conditioning and the musty smell. The view over the lake and hotel grounds was beautiful, though.
My stay at the hotel was truly spectacular. The lakeside view room I was upgraded to had breathtaking views, and the overall standard was exceptional. The service was top-notch, from the attentive and always smiling staff to the fantastic service provided by Mrs Samadhi, Vinoli, Ilangakoon, Manager Susantha, and the entire team. The location was perfect, close to town with an amazing lake view. The dining experience, especially during the New Year, was excellent with a variety of options, including vegetarian and Japanese food. The facilities were modern and well-equipped, offering a luxurious experience.
The hotel offers a mixed experience with spacious rooms overlooking beautiful surroundings but lacking some essential amenities. The service can be slow but with attentive staff. The location is outstanding by the lake, though some aspects may need attention. Dining is exceptional with a varied menu, but there are areas for improvement. Overall, a property with potential but needing some enhancements.
The hotel provided a unique city view from the balcony, although the room itself lacked air-conditioning and had a musty smell. The staff was incredibly helpful and caring, ensuring a warm and welcoming stay. Despite being under repair, the location offered a beautiful setting to enjoy evenings overlooking the lake. The dining options were varied, with some dishes not to my taste. Overall, a mixed experience with both positive and negative aspects.
The hotel offers spacious rooms overlooking the pool and lake, which are simple, neat, and clean, providing a very comfortable stay. The service is top-notch with great hospitality and assistance throughout my visit. The location, situated on the banks of Beira Lake in Colombo, is charming, though with limited wine and cocktails choices in one area. The dining experience had great choices, but it seemed a bit disorganized at times. Overall, a clean, comfortable hotel with friendly staff and a great location.
The hotel offers a unique experience with interconnected rooms where parents can easily keep an eye on their kids through thoughtful portholes, best amenities, but some small and stinking rooms. The spacious rooms have good bathrooms.
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, offering a lovely view over the pool, lagoon, and the impressive sight of the Lotus Tower changing light colors at night. The interconnected arrangement with a regular deluxe room was perfect for families. The breakfast was delightful, but the rooms were showing signs of wear and could use refurbishment.
The hotel offers interconnected rooms, allowing families to stay close together. The rooms seemed a bit outdated and lacked slippers. The service was extremely friendly and helpful, with a variety of amenities available to guests. The location is convenient, with renovated areas and a good breakfast. The dining experience was covered as credit for an early flight, offering traditional Marche products. Overall, a comfortable stay with friendly staff, though some areas needed updating.
The hotel's rooms were small, not very well designed, and had a cigarette smell despite my request. The first-floor location was convenient but in need of renovation.
My stay at the hotel had its highs and lows. The rooms were comfortable and nice, especially the bed, but cleanliness was an issue due to the Aircon water leakage. The service was exceptional, with a passion for providing wonderful service. The location was centrally placed in Colombo but was limited in staff attention. Dining was a mix of very nice options and some average experiences. Overall, a mixed but worthwhile stay.
