Probably, if not the best hotel in Colombo. I was assigned to a room that faces the sea as well as Biera Lake. The hotel, which is also accessible through one of the largest mall is a huge bonus. This gives plenty of options for food. The breakfast at the hotel was amazing. Certainly will return if I’m headed back to Colombo.

Staff were fabulous, super helpful. Room was beautiful and pool area was great with a big enough pool to actually do some laps. Breakfast was really great, plenty of options for everyone and really good food. Only think I would say, I had sea view room on 18th floor, there was music event on the beach both nights so was very loud in room which meant I couldn't get a good sleep. If I stayed again I would go for a lake view room as this would likely be quieter, for the amount of time you actually spend looking out the window at the sea.... better to get a quiet sleep. The hotel has direct access to the Galle Face Mall which is handy. Note that the ATM in Mall doesn't always work and the hotel doesn't have one. The hotel seems to have a lot of events and the Tiki Bar on the roof was closed for private event when I was there which was a shame. I really loved this hotel though and would stay there again.

The hotel just didn’t seem to work. Check in was massively slow, the room was not ready when we arrived after check in time and the hotel amenities were just not great. Capital bar was ok but a little bit underwhelming, room service took forever and the room felt tired. One time room service even quizzed my logic for ordering. Wish I had stayed at the resort a day longer and got a 03:00 transfer.
