"Two day stopover in Colombo at the end of our trip Hotel was nice, very busy, breakfast seemed to cater for all cultures but I wouldn’t recommend the western food as it was average Pool area was quiet, they were setting up the World Cup stuff, for some reason one of the staff decided to start jet washing the pool in the middle of the day - one of the guests complained after an hour but common sense would have told you not to do that, area looked like a building site, would expect the things...
