Location
Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers beautiful, clean rooms with amazing views; it's quiet and spacious with a nice sea view. The service was top-notch, attentive, kind, and professional. The location overlooks the ocean and the Dutch fort, creating a tranquil oasis close to the city. The dining experience was fantastic, but a bit pricey; the facilities are top-notch.
The hotel offers nice and spacious rooms, but with some lint in the linens that you eventually overlook during your stay. The location on the side of the hotel is really spacious and features a bathtub and a Japanese toilet, especially the bathtub.
The hotel offers spectacular rooms, especially with beautiful bathtubs, and impressive communal areas including the pool. The service provided was friendly and accommodating, but considering the price, one might expect better. The location is unbeatable with stunning views of the fort, close proximity to the cricket stadium, and facing the Indian Ocean, yet it could get crowded during peak times. Dining options varied from below-average buffet spread to well-managed a la carte offerings. Overall, a luxurious stay with a few areas to improve in terms of service given the pricing.
The hotel is a gem with spacious rooms, excellent staff, and delicious breakfast, but the dining experience could improve. The location offers a perfect blend of tranquility and proximity to Galle Fort. A great value overall.
