Ikke ønskværdigt sted at bo

Værelserne var uden vinduer og lugtede virkelig grimt. Beliggenheden var fin, men vi var meget glade for, at vi kun havde en enkelt overnatning der. Ellers havde vi fundet noget andet.

If you like to sleep in an ashtray - this is it!

Even though "No Smoking" signs are placed on the walls - the corridors and the room smelled like an ashtray. The room is much smaller that the picture leads yo auto believe - the Air-conditioner - Oh well.... good to heat up a snake NOT to cool the room. Sad choice.

おすすめはしません。

駅からトゥクトゥクでホテルに向かったが、運転手がホテルを見つけられず、ぐるぐる回った。メーターだったので余計に料金がかかった。チェックインはスムーズだったが、部屋は決して心地良いものとは言えない。狭く、冷蔵庫もドライヤーも無く、虫だらけ、枕は臭くて、バスルームも悪臭がどこからしてくる。ロケーションはコロンボ全体からすると外れたところではないのだが、丁度周りにスーパーもコンビニもなく、夜になると薄暗く、野良犬が沢山いて出歩くのに躊躇する。不便な場所にある。ホテルのスタッフそこそこ親切に対応してくれるのだが、どうにもくたびれており、ロビーで寝ていたりする。

Bon "étape hôtel"

Très court passage la nuit de notre atterrissage, pratique pour rejoindre la bus station. Le service très bien (acceuil/présentation chambre et petit déjeuner). Dommage que la salle de bain avait beaucoup de remontées de mauvaises odeurs.

pour budget moyen,rapport qualité prix convenable

hotel un peu vieillot, mais chambre propre, draps propres. U n petit coffre fort à disposition dans la chambre. On est arrivé à 10h , on nous a donné la chambre à 10h 30, très agrèable après une nuit d'avion. Personnel disponible et toujours prêt a rendre service.Hotel situé dans un quartier populaire, rue animée et un peu bruyante, ça se calme la nuit.

Чистый отель для ночевки.

Остановились в этом отеле на 4 ночи после перелета из Самары. Честно скажу - мы переоценили Коломбо и одного дня было бы более чем достаточно. Тем не менее к отелю претензий никаких, номер был без окна, но мы были к этому готовы, приходили всё равно только поспать, всё остальное время путешествовали в глубь острова. Из аэропорта добираться легко и недорого, вполне рекомендую.

Okej hotel med bra läge för att utforska Colombo

Ok hotel in central Colombo, fairly close to the train and bus stations, as well as Fort and Pettah areas. Clean but small room, great if you just need a place to sleep. Breakfast could be improved.

Nice enough, clean, good location

Well located in one of the fast-disappearing old neighbourhoods of inner Colombo. Go for a walk in the quieter back streets around here. Plus it's across the road from Burger's King, a very hip spot for richer locals. Rooms at back are much quieter but a bit claustrophobic. Note that Google Maps has this hotel in slightly the wrong place.

当时定这个酒店就是看到图片觉得酒店满新的所以才决定定的这里。位置倒是不错的出来有吃的 离古堡和车站都很近 步行可到。但是可能就是被这个新装修给蒙蔽了吧。房间虽大 但是并不觉得住着舒适 首先蚊子多到吓人 睡一晚起来 我整个手臂和手背全是蚊子咬的小红疙瘩 而且洗澡水要不是冷水要不就是烫得要死的热水 完全没有中间档 无奈只能关了空调洗冷水 那个热水真的是没法洗 太烫了。然后就是wifi完全不给力 特别是在房间里几乎是没有信号的 所以可以完全忽略这里的wifi 幸好我还换了当地的电话卡。另外这边酒店每天都是不会打扫房间的 这个真的很无语 虽然酒店看着新 但其实就是马屎皮面光 浴巾这些又旧又不干净。还有就是这个酒店的老板太坑爹了 最后退房的时候说我们在房间里吸烟了 要罚我们款 我承认我朋友是在房间里抽烟了 但是抽的时候你怎么没告诉我说要罚款呢 然后等我退房的时候就说我们每天在房间里抽烟要扣钱 这不明摆着就是敲我们钱嘛 更可笑的是因为我本来就不喜欢闻烟味 所以我朋友基本都是在房间的阳台上抽的烟 我也告诉了老板我们是在阳台上抽的烟 他居然把我带到房间说房间地下都是脏的 说是我们烟灰造成的 我真的当场无语 等于你们服务员每天都不来打扫卫生 我在这住了三个晚上 进房间又没脱鞋 地上能不脏吗 本来真的很不想给钱的 无奈赶时间走 怕误了飞机 也就难得搭理他们了 总之斯里兰卡当地人都不怎么可靠 去的朋友小心为妙
