+Lovely place in the city center , +near the big mall. +Good facilities. + And in general, I would say one of the best places to stay in Colombo. - Long wait for food to be prepared when you order * the real sparkle of the place is Aqeel who is working in the main reception bar area. I’ve never seen such happy smiling & helpful people. He really made our stay very special. I believe that the people who work at a hotel create the energy and atmosphere. these people who make us want to come back because they make us feel at home.
