The room had very worn bedding and towels,exposed electrical wires,no plug for sink, and very rusty waste bin, but the most distressing thing was my son saw a rat in the kitchen.l feel we should be entitled to at least a refund.

Don't recommend it

Firstly, no one at the reception to welcome you.. you have a board call this number...the bathroom door and glass separator were moving, worried it can drop on me. Thirdly, the wifi is not there most of the time...air-condition was also pathetic. Although hotel was empty, they made me to have a bath in the lobby washroom on the check-out day and the manager did not oblige to allow me use the washroom.
Staff were soft spoken and wanted to help.

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.

Hotelli on ihan ok, hinta-laatusuhde hyvä. Ilmastointi, televisio ja kylpyhuone toimivat hyvin. Huone oli sisäpihan puolella, vain tiiliseiniä näkyi, mutta ei kuulunut vilkkaan kadun meteli. Henkilökunta vastaanotossa erittäin ystävällinen. Aamiainen hyvin suppea ja heikosti hoidettu.

値段相応のホテルだと思います。現地の生活圏の中に建っているので、夜になると周りは暗くなります。私の部屋はキングベッドでしたので、窓はありませんでした。洗面、トイレ、シャワーの使用については問題ありませんでした。

Lastima del desayuno estropeó la estancia.

En general bien. Favorable: amabilidad personal, centro de l ciudad. Desfavorable: desayuno fatal y ruidoso.

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.
