We had a fine stay, but this is definitely not a 5-star hotel. Rooftop was beautiful and breakfast was delicious, however our room had frosted glass so we couldn't see outside and the finishes were very cheap.

This property is very run down and expensive for the price. The staff is great but I would look for a newer property or another colonial building which has been renovated.

Gangaramaya temple is situated just 1km away from the heart of Colombo. I highly recommend you to visit this place if you find yourself in Sri Lanka. You will witness thousands of temples while you are traveling around Sri Lanka. All those temples are influenced by Theravada. But, Gangaramaya temple is influenced by a mixture of Theravada and Mahayana and it's really a nice place.
