“For a family-run hotel with 45 years in the business, this property has spacious, clean rooms and prompt service down. Its Havelock Town location means easy access to Colombo's attractions, and it stands out for its dedication to events, plus nice touches like a luggage room and reliable laundry. I'd recommend it for anyone needing a solid base for exploring the city.”
