Convenient location, bad check in
Check in at this hotel is a mess as they use print outs from every website from Hotels.com to expedia and search manually one by one until they find your reservation. When we arrived despite booking it 2 days in advanced they did not have our reservation on file. Then once they found it/printed off the voucher they informed us there was no free breakfast. I showed the hotel our reservation details from hotels.com and they continued to refuse to include breakfast and tried to tell us we needed to contact hotels.com for a refund. After elevating it to mgmt it was resolved, but nevertheless not customer friendly or customer focused.

気を付けてください。
・Hotel.comには空港への送迎があるように記載されているが、実際は存在しない。特記事項に迎えを依頼するコメントを記載したが、反応なし。直接ホテルにメールしたがこれも回答なし。当日電話したが、私の英語がうまくなかったのか、迎えはあると思って行ったが、当日の空港には迎えは当然いなかった。 ・事前チェックインのオンライン入力をしたが、当日は紙の記入を求められた。基本、オンラインの機能は予約以外正しく機能していない。 ・この国は朝食が遅いようで、7時半から。ちなみに事前にメールで問い合わせたが回答なし。 ・部屋は細長く狭かった。トイレとシャワーはなぜか一旦ドアの外に出る謎の造り。アメニティは小さい石鹸のみ。 ・税込みの支払総額で7千円オーバーであったが、3千円でも高いと感じた。 ・周囲は治安が良くない地域であり、まともなレストランは存在しないようでした。 ・朝食はパンなど最低限のもののみ。

Very dissapointing
The port view hotel has only the name: view on a dirty and noisy street, not cleaned room, broken pipes in the shower, only a « complimentary » (and already used?) soap, bed / towels / pillows with bad (humid) smell, and above all no toilet paper (they « forgot » it). The team is useless, you feel like bothering them when you ask for something. Few details : standard room (double bed) at 38$, so very expensive for this kind of service. If you don’t want to be disappointed for your first (or last) night in Sri Lanka, do not book this hotel !

Notwendige Unterkunft in Colombo
Die Matratzen waren extrem hart. Also ich mag eigentlich harte Matratzen aber das kam eher einem Brett gleich. Das Zimmer im Gegensatz zu dem Eindruck auf den Bildern eher verlebt und die Aussicht auf den Hafen, sollte man eher nicht erwähnen. Einzig positiv ist die Entfernung zum Bahnhof. Das im Preis inbegriffene Frühstück gab es nicht. Uns wurde am Abend bei der Ankunft mitgeteilt, dass kein Frühstück angeboten wird.

Ok hotel in the centre of Colombo
The hotel was fine! Location was good, in the centre of the city and on walking distance of the trainstation. But compaired to other places we've stayed it seemed a little expensive for want you get. Still a fair price, but we've had a lot more luxery for the same price.

確かにバスターミナルには近い
タクシーなどで行かないと、ホテルを見つけるのは困難。看板は小さいし、周辺はごみごみしていて、非常にわかりにくい。 エアコンとファンは部屋に設置されていて、部屋もきちんと清掃されているが、2人で泊まったのに、最初バスタオルは一枚だけで、2回頼んでやっともう一枚出して貰えた。石鹸、シャンプーは無い。窓を閉めても、外の騒音が聞こえてくるので、寝るときは持参した耳栓が役に立った。良い点は、スタッフが親切だったこと。現地のバスや電車のチケットの買い方、トゥクトゥクの上手な乗り方など教えてもらった。
