Honestly a very bad experience so much we left halfway through our reservation to request a refund.

First of all hotel felt VERY dirty, beds were uncomfortable and staff were not helpful.

We booked double beds, they gave us 1 bed and a roll away bed.

We booked breakfast and already paid for it, the staff refused to give us breakfast and sent us away to speak to reception to sort it out.

Dont recommend you stay here.

This is a well located hotel with an enjoyable view on the ocean. Rooms were comfy and we slept well on our rooms on 3rd and 4th floors (ie no big noisy from busy road). Staff were attentive but seemed disorganised: we got one room much later then the 2pm check in time, one bag which was not mine was left in my room and bizarrely we were called to pay a bill from a restaurant were we did not go! maybe it was just a bad day :-)

The staff are superb and the neighbourhood is very convenient. Apart from that, however, there is little reason to stay here when there are so many other options in Colombo. There was no corridor lighting on our floor, which made it feel more like a low-cost apartment complex than a hotel. The wifi was spotty, though the technician was very helpful and had it up and running as fast as he could. The breakfast is not very inviting (that's putting it generously), and is almost the same price (US$10) as at the nearby Granbell, which is fantastic and has an excellent view. The pool is tiny but serviceable (with a very friendly lifeguard), though the floor it's on is very run-down. (Strangely, one of the posted rules is No Swimming, though it's probably good that another rule is No Peeing and one more is No Acrobatics.)

Falsely advertised facilities it doesn't have

Booked this hotel specifically because it says they have a gym...They DO NOT! They also don't have a spa, you can't access the roof or use the pool due to construction, and the WIFI was so bad you can't use the TV because the signal constantly drops out. The bed was comfortable but that is the only positive about my stay.

A very nice property. The management just need to look into minor issues. For example the refrigerator in my room was out of order. The guy knew, so instead of replacing it, he just brought another one and put it in the room. The breakfast is of poor quality. Juice is made not in a juicer but in a mixer by adding sugar syrup and ice. They don’t know how to prepare dosas. Most breads, 3 types all have sesame seeds. Why cannot you have just one with sesame. Those with allergy to sesame cannot have any of those. Billing takes ages, they quote in US$ but then instead of taking payment inUS$ they spend time converting to SLR and charging in Lankan Rupees. They do not have any power points in the rooms for charging devices or the kettle. You have to unplug the bedside lamps to charge your devices and use the kettle. Management needs to provide multiple power point adaptors.

Terrible Hotel Experience

I will write my experience.
1. When we checked in the staff in the counter was friendly. But several mistakes. We have been offered a double room instead of the premium room with 3 beds, I had to requested and showed my booking.
2. No fridge in the room, only 2 towels and 2 tea cups, which I have requested for 3.
3. Toilet was filling too slow, shower was leaking. Requested maintenance to fix it.
4. We had the offer for room with breakfast for 2. Every day staff told us there was no offer for breakfast in the offer given to them by Expedia. There were poor communication between the hotel and Expedia. Very frustrating.
I will never come back here or recommend to anyone.
However, staff was friendly and very obedient.

Paid at the hotel for airport shuttle and then the driver ask for fare again at the airport. Stone dust as work going on at the entrance. Hairs found between the bed, was disgraceful. No one seemed to know what the other staff was doing. A piece of marble fell off the wall and hit my toe.

Pool area is amazing and the view from there is quite nice.
Overall, it can be made much better if they focus on fixing the issues in the rooms/bathrooms. The quality can be much better. This can help them reach 5 star services

The staff are polite and friendly but they take a long time to get things done such as check out and the whole place seems a little disorganised. We ordered room service for two people and we didn't get enough cutlery for is to eat with.

Next day we had hotel car to airport.same driver.We had paid hotel but he then said if we wanted to go quickest way we had to pay 300 extra for toll. Rubbish! I paid toll he kept receipt!! Took it off his tip again! He lost out through being greedy and pushy in a way that no one else was.To sum up travel desk very disappointing due to driver.

Spotless hotel with a warm friendly staff

We chose this hotel at the last minute. The price was excellent. When we arrived the doorman and lobby staff were there to greet us with great smiles and a wonderful welcoming feeling. Cold towels welcome drink. They upgraded our room to an ocean view. Room was delightful with little extras in the bathroom if needed and spotless. We were really happy with our choice.Wound down at the end of our evening at the upstairs BYOB bar and it was fun as it was a Friday night and quite busy for a bar with no Liquor:) Arrived in the morning for breakfast which was the only disappointment of the stay. The restaurant was only buffet. They have a great coffee bar attached so we ordered a la carte Cappuccinos. Service was horrible the omelet chef let the omelets sit on the counter 10 minutes before delivery; cold of course. The head waiter left the cappuccinos sit on the counter until they were lukewarm. They did not bring us water until asked and immediately removed our glasses instead of refill. When it came time for the bill for the breakfast and cappuccinos we waited 10 minutes for the change . The staff was not busy. It was a buffet. Very unorganized and the head waiter gave off a vibe that made out group feel unwelcome. I give the hotel a Great recommendation and assume we caught the restaurant on a bad day. I would highly recommend the hotel. PS tried the Japanese restaurant for lunch. Great staff great service.

the restaurant is ok but there are much better options in walking distance. since I don't consider much

my only complaint is the hot water. maybe I'm a spoiled American, but ... they turn off the water heater at night, so I have to call and ask them to turn it on. I'm accustomed to being able to take a hot shower 24 hours without calling anyone. when the hot water is actually on, the temperature fluctuates wildly from lukewarm to burning.

Still Trying to get there!

It is obvious they are trying hard, but they have not reached a 4 star standard yet (or they do NOT know what that involves)... An empty mini-bar fridge (not even milk for your tea/coffee) was very disappointing, and a \"dry\" 4 star hotel is something that needs some getting used to (why?)!
The average staff member tried hard to please and needs to be given credit for that ... The area around has no proper facilities for dining and/or entertainment ... So that is a consideration too!

I had a great mini vacation at Dwell! The location is perfect as it's right downtown, the hotel and the rooms are extremely clean and well furnished. The staff was very helpful when I was asking for information and how to go around the city. The rooftop bar has an amazing view and great cocktails!
I tried the Japanese restaurant on the first floor and it was very delicious even though the portions were a little small for the price paid.

Nothing special but ok

Hotel was under renovation, only 1 lift working so took ages to go to reception. Very strange \"hotel layout' as welcome counter is on Ground Floor but Check-in is on the top floor - so its takes ages to get through the 2 'stages.. Colombo is not a nice city.

Great new hotel and central location

Comfy bed and great amenities. Staff are fabulous. Breakfast is strange, I liked it but others won’t. No alcohol served but staff are happy to store and serve your own beer and spirits (purchase from supermarket). Only annoying thing is the elevator music....

A peaceful place in the middle of busy Colombo. Friendly service. Delicious food on the roof terrace.
