Disappointing
I like the architecture and history of the premises. The location is useful to my work. The room is fairly big.
It appears the owners or management have no desire to upgrade this jewel but let it decay. Very sad. Cost cutting is very obvious in every facility/amenity from linen to soap.

Friendly staff - met expectations. Lovely old colonial building. Early check in was most appreciated after a long flight. Beautiful view of Colombo Port from the restaurant.
It is a large old building - difficult to maintain - hence some areas a little tired.

Fair
A grand entrance and impressive foyer. It would be really something if the entire hotel were renovated. In the old heart of the city.
Shabby and run-down. Not very clean: does house-keeping not notice the black globs on the greyish towels? Long corridors which are hard to negotiate: would be a nightmare in an emergency, especially as the emergency exits are padlocked shut.
