Apartment is in a high rise which is well equipped and is comfortable. Location is best with Galle face green and One Galle face mall at walking distance. Owner is helpful and very prompt in his replies. It felt like home away from home.

The breakfast and the setting were quite excellent. The staff were quite hospitable and friendly. The colonial internal deco made the atmosphere very exciting. Enjoyed the sunset view behind the hotel.

Beautiful view, quiet. All the meals ať he restaurant were delicious, a great variety of food at breakfast buffett and at dinner. The staff was very helpful, only the cashier in front of the dining room never smiled, but he was also ok. I liked the swimming pool, though it was a bit noisy, just to swim and go.
