The hotel offers a convenient Main Street location perfect for sightseeing in Colombo. The rooms are noisy due to their proximity to a busy road, and improvements could be made in cleanliness. The staff's level of service varies from friendly and helpful to disinterested. Despite the sanitation issues in the neighborhood, the helpful staff and close proximity to public transport enhance the location's appeal. The dining experience is decent but lacks variety. Overall, it is an adequate choice for those wanting a central location.

The hotel is situated on the main road side which can be noisy due to constant beeping. Despite this, the service was very friendly and helpful, particularly welcoming after a long journey. The location is good for sightseeing in Colombo, but cleanliness in the local area was a concern. The dining experience was pleasing with good quality, though somewhat limited. The facilities are functional and satisfactory.
