Convenient location near local train station, making transportation easy. Helpful and accommodating staff allowed us to store our bags and use a shower before our flight.

I recently stayed at a brand new hotel on the Galle road and had a great experience. The Residence, as it is called, is a no-thrills yet extremely clean and well-appointed business hotel. The double room, although a bit small, had a comfortable, enormous bed and a compact en-suite bathroom. The TV was superb, and there was a writing desk as well as amenities for making tea or coffee. The manager, Imran, was wonderfully open and friendly, always quick to respond to any need. The location of the hotel was also very convenient, surrounded by restaurants, shops, and prime real estate. Highly recommended.
Nothing not to love! 😊

This hotel offers good value for money and has a great location. The basic amenities are provided and the room's bed is very comfortable. The wifi and air conditioning work really well. The breakfast is nice and includes enough fruits.
The hotel needs to address the noise issues and provide better insulation from outside sounds.

At Residence, I got great value for my money with a comfortable room and multi-national plug sockets. The location was convenient, with easy access to tuk-tuks, and the staff were friendly and helpful.
The breakfast could be improved with more variety and options.

This hotel exceeded my expectations in so many ways. the location was perfect for exploring the city with ease. Being situated on a central street made it convenient to access various places of interest. Additionally, the staff's attention to detail was impeccable. From the friendly doormen to Mr. Imran's exceptional service, every member of the team made sure our stay was comfortable and memorable. The newly renovated rooms were a pleasant surprise, with bigger washrooms and comfortable beds. The strong air conditioning and reliable WiFi were also much appreciated.
While there were some minor inconveniences, such as the construction noise and the lack of a working power generator during the national power cuts, overall, this hotel provided a satisfactory experience.

The location was convenient, with nice restaurants, a supermarket, and the beach nearby. The hotel offered good wifi and had modern decorations with comfortable bedding.
Nothing, all was good.

I had a great stay at this hotel. It offered excellent value for money and the room was clean and comfortable. The location was amazing, with beautiful views of the ocean. The staff, especially Imran, were extremely helpful and made my stay pleasant.
The only thing that could have made the breakfast better was expanding the offerings beyond just bread, omelet, juice, and fruit.

Decent Wi-Fi and good air conditioning were the best aspects. The hotel location was great as it was near restaurants and stores. the staff was polite and welcoming.
The room was tiny, old, and not clean. The bed wasn't comfortable, and the bathroom was barely functioning.

Spending New Year's Eve at this hotel was amazing! The staff were friendly and the receptionist offered us a free late check-out. The breakfast had a variety of options to choose from and was delicious. The hotel's location was perfect for exploring the city and shopping. Plus, the rooftop view was stunning!
The room was a bit small, especially the bathroom. It was a challenge for taller people to move comfortably around the space.
